This isn't a Nazi concentration camp in old Europe!
This is an Israeli concentration camp for Palestinians in modern times!
The Israeli military is expanding its genocide in Gaza to all of Palestine. Last Friday, the Israeli government ordered the total closure of Al-Khalil, also called Hebron, and the entirety of the occupied West Bank where Al-Khalil is.
Since then, it has forcibly displaced more than 3,972 Palestinians from their homes and arrested at least 85 people.
Extremist Israeli terrorists attack journalist and activist Andrey Khrzhanovskiy in the village of Umm al-Khair, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
We Need Madmen
Based on the several new fascisms.
'We Need Madmen is a truly fascinating, though brief, exploration of ideas; a deliberately leading and questioning book that may make you feel a little uncomfortable...' Stu Carter: Vector

We must keep up the pressure on the government to get Palantir out of our NHS. Use @pscupdates tool to tell your MP to publicly call on the Health Secretary to end the NHS's contract with Palantir: https://t.co/mtWgbIZpRr
Lebanon is being destroyed. My homeland is being destroyed. Our people are being genocided.
Lebanon is the second most-documented genocide in history after Gaza, yet the most denied by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights after Gaza.
We pay politicians to represent us, then we allow them to take donations from private individuals and corporations to represent them against our interests.
How is that not corruption?
“I was released today after about four and a half months of detention.” Dr. Mazen al-Rantisi, a 71-year-old physician from Ramallah known across the West Bank as “the doctor of the poor,” speaks with a fresh wound on his face, inflicted half an hour before his release on October 25, 2026. He says a jailer dragged him to the release room handcuffed behind his back, shackled at the legs and blindfolded, then shoved and kicked him to the ground. Israeli occupation forces seized al-Rantisi from his home in the al-Tireh neighbourhood of Ramallah in June without announcing any reason, and his daughter says he lost around 25 kilograms in their prisons.
He describes Nafha prison as overrun with scabies, affecting nearly 80 percent of the Palestinian hostages held there, with almost no medicine given. When prisoners beg the passing nurse for treatment, he says, they are cursed at, mocked and ridiculed, and he was taunted for taking the chronic medication a court had ordered he receive. He calls on international human rights organisations to intervene, saying Palestinian hostages are beaten and punished at the whim of their jailers with no oversight or accountability.
