Francesca Albanese: "Israel has unveiled its vision for Palestine-which is none. No Palestine between the river and the sea. The genocide is a state enterprise. The apartheid is a state enterprise. There is no good Israel and bad Israel -it's all Israel. Sanction Israel. Isolate Israel. Cut trade. No more arms. The Nakba has never been over."

Albanese-the UN Special Rapporteur-just delivered the most brutal diagnosis of Israel's project.

This is not about Netanyahu. This is not about the far-right. This is Israel

UN experts warn the international community must prevent Cuba from becoming a “silent Gaza” as the U.S. imposes more sanctions on the island – with nationwide blackouts becoming the norm.

So the Israeli who thought it would be good to get a black girl working minimum wage in Burger King, fired for saying free Palestine, has ended up getting her a cool $250000, so far, and will end up costing Burger King millions as people, including me, boycott it...

🗞️ “A Diplomatic October 7”

Israeli ministers and security chiefs have discussed resuming attacks on Gaza to signal that Israel rejects the U.S.-backed 15-point phase 2 roadmap accepted by Hamas, according to the Times of Israel.

The debate occurred on Thursday night, August 6, during Israel’s political-security cabinet meeting. Another cabinet meeting is set for Sunday night.

It comes as Kan, Israel’s public broadcaster, reports that the U.S. is pressuring Israel to begin a 14-day ceasefire to move the roadmap forward. Friday marked the fourth consecutive day without any Palestinians deaths due to fresh Israeli strikes – the longest such stretch since the ceasefire was announced last October.

The Times of Israel, citing Israel Hayom, reported that Israel is also facing pressure to withdraw from its expanded control of roughly 70% of Gaza back to the original Yellow Line, which left it controlling 52%, and to halt targeted strikes.

Key details from the meeting on August 6:

🔹 Minister Ze’ev Elkin argued Israel must reject the U.S. plan and attack: “If Israel doesn’t carry out offensive action for two weeks, the meaning is that we have accepted and entered the process. That’s why we need to publish that we are not signing these 15 points.”

🔹 Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told Netanyahu: “You are a master at maneuvering, but now that there is an official document, we must delegitimize this document. We can’t maneuver.”

🔹 Shin Bet chief David Zini reportedly called Hamas’s acceptance “a process of strategic deception” designed to prevent Israel from returning to military action before Israel’s October 27 election. “This is a strategic ambush by Hamas,” he said. Ynet reported that Zini described the roadmap as a “diplomatic October 7.”

🔹 Brig. Gen. Ofir Mizrahi-Rozen, head of Israeli military intelligence research, said Hamas was attempting “to put the ball in our court,” while warning against foreign forces, including Turkish and Qatari troops, deploying near Israel under the plan.

🔹 Smotrich and Minister Orit Strock separately called the Board of Peace agreement “dangerous for Israel,” warning that the planned multinational force, contrary to what they said Israel had been promised, “will monitor us, separate us from Hamas and restrict [Israeli military] activity in the Strip,” according to Kan.

🔹Kan also reported that Government Secretary Yossi Fuchs told ministers Israel has not yet signed the agreement allowing the multinational force into Gaza.

Kan noted that the earlier 20-point Trump plan accepted by Israel also calls for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

Of course the biased Western media tries to make this sound bad, but it's actually awesome:

The Communist Party of China runs mass service centers that are open to the public and offer free internet, cheap food, work desks, training and classes, plus sometimes child care & gyms.

The people laughing and dancing to images of starving children, bombed hospitals, and destroyed homes

Zionism and Nazism are two sides of the same coin. Both believe in racial supremacy.

I’m still trying to understand how this generated no headlines in Western media. Imagine the coverage if it was 300 Israeli children.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Malaysia will not allow its ports to be used for trade that could support or contribute to Israeli genocide against Palestinians.

Anwar praised the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) for seizing the container at Tanjung Pelepas Port in Johor suspected of carrying strategic goods bound for Israel.

He said the seizure reflects Malaysia’s commitment to preventing trade that could contribute to Israeli atrocities against Palestinians.

Malaysia has banned ships carrying cargo to Israel from using its ports since December 2023.

BREAKING 🇵🇸🇲🇾 Malaysia has detained Israel-bound cargo at Tanjung Pelepas port. PM Anwar Ibrahim stated that Malaysia will never serve as "a conduit" for atrocities against Palestinians and would uphold international law, in line with The Hague Group.

✨ @hasanthehun's opinion on what Kamala Harris' endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed actually means. He thinks it's not what everyone else automatically assumed that it was: "I think that things like that are not indicative of the moral impurity of Abdul El-Sayed or what you think it signals. The fact that Kamala is endorsing Abdul El-Sayed, one, favors Abdul El-Sayed, especially in the demographics Abdul underperformed in comparison to Haley Stevens. It also signals that the environment has changed. It has shifted so radically that someone who was in the crosshairs of AIPAC is getting an endorsement from an AIPAC-backed former presidential candidate. The environment is the exact opposite of 2024. Things like this are gonna continue happening, just so you understand."

These elderly Palestinian men were reportedly used as human shields by Israeli occupation forces in Gaza and then executed after they had served their purpose. The image documenting their final moments should shock the conscience of every member of Congress. These were human beings who deserved protection, not execution.

Congress cannot continue writing blank checks for a military force facing repeated reports of crimes against humanity. American taxpayers should not be financing weapons that may be used to facilitate genocide.

Silence is not neutrality when American weapons and money are involved. Every member of Congress has a responsibility to demand accountability and to ensure that U.S. foreign policy does not make our government complicit in the killing, ethnic cleansing and abuse of Palestinian civilians.
