One of the Israeli soldiers who sodomized a Palestinian prisoner at Sde Teiman detention center went on Israeli Channel 14 to defend the ra pe on live TV.

He said he was very happy, that he was protecting Israel's good name and that the IDF was the world's healthiest army.

These Demons deserve the worst that Hell has to offer.

Following the steps of major Danish and Norwegian pension funds, now the biggest pension scheme in the United Kingdom has dumped millions of Israeli assets.

@MickCashexRMTGS , as trustee of the British Railway pension scheme, will you be following similar steps?

[Alberto Torres @ruedasytablas]

@DillyHussain88 @gmpolice what is wrong with you? Are you here to protect the racists? Why are you tackling the victim of the hate crime?

[Alberto Torres @ruedasytablas]

Why is the police tackling down the victim of a racist aggression and not the white racists?

A mob of “native patriots” lynched a lone black man in Manchester earlier today. Cowards.

Last night Tel Aviv experienced its first (of many) deadly Houthi drone attack, which killed one man in his bed and injured several more. Earlier yesterday Israel carried out a big attack in Lebanon, killing 5 people and wounding a dozen or so more.

But a deadly drone attack in Tel Aviv is something new: as far as I can remember, no casualties were ever reported in central Israel from missiles, rockets, drones, or enemy airplanes. So a new threshold was crossed late last night, psychologically and operationally.

This got me thinking: why does Israel continue to escalate when a counter-escalation is 100% guaranteed?

Israel cannot escalate and not get hurt more. Everybody knows that. So why does it still escalate?

More than one answer is needed to explain this phenomenon, but I think it makes sense to a large degree if you consider how much Israel is bought into its fantasy of supremacy.

Supremacy always sits at the very top of a colonizer's mind; it is the center of emotion, feeling, and thinking. Everything is created by and for it and comes back to it.

And so, faced with an opponent of comparable might, a colonizer is sure to panic and overreact, but not because of the direct material challenge (which can be solved by compromise and peace); it is the danger to the model of supremacy that threatens to destroy the colonizer's entire model of being.

So Israel, as would and does any other colonizer culture, must escalate not out of pragmatic calculation, but out of an uncontrollable urge to prove to itself that the center of its existence - its supremacy - is still valid.

And so Israel is stuck in a purgatory of its one creation, where it is no longer militarily superior to its enemies but incapable of admitting it due to the centrality of supremacy in its worldview.

While Israel (or the US vs Russia, Iran, or China) cannot achieve supremacy on the battlefield, as its enemies have achieved enough strategic parity to null all its tactical advantages, it is still fully committed to its guiding vision of supremacy, and even clings to it harder in times of fear and distress.

And so Israel (likewise the US) is doomed to escalate itself into nonexistence (or at least irrelevance) in pursuit of an unattainable affirmation of a twisted, deranged dream with eternal and complete supremacy at its epicenter.
-
And this is why I know Israel will keep on escalating. Nothing remains in its psychology, politics, or outside support that can put a reality check on its spiraling psychosis. Much the same, by the way, can be said about the entire West.

@VividProwess @richimedhurst They killed a former sniper of the occupation forces. A criminal. Do the research.

@spellerwiix @HalsSpeaksFacts @DillyHussain88 @metpoliceuk Building a list of names of war criminals and abusers is the right thing to do.

Zionist weaponising of the anti semitism trope goes to beyond pathethic levels and is making you a diservice.

[Alberto Torres @ruedasytablas]

Absolutely disgusting abuse of power.

[Dilly Hussain @DillyHussain88]

Hi @metpoliceuk,

Is it normal practice to punch peaceful protestors before explaining to them what it is they have allegedly done wrong?

This incident occurred today in the London borough of Tower Hamlets.
