Just kind of left speechless at an invading army whining to the United Nations that the people they are invading — and killing their civilians by the thousands — are fighting back. This is a mystifying level of lack of self awareness
israel is a pariah state for good reason. it cannot defend its repugnant belligerence. so it will continue to demand state repression with cynical smears of antisemitism, which only feeds in to the just anger people feel towards the genocidal apartheid entity.
A well-documented story about mass sexual violence against caged Palestinians is actually about the threat posed to relatively privileged and well off white people in North America, my latest for the Atlantic, for the 8,560th time
a country that doesn’t punish this kind of behavior must be punished itself- weapons embargo and bds are the floor btw. meanwhile in the western world, the only people who get punished are those who call this evil out.
Gaza levelled, snipers on elevated mounds built from the pulverised earth, shooting anyone who crosses an unmarked line, including children.
What word would we use to describe the concentration of a people into a small camp under threat of death?
Worth noting, for when you read people wringing their hands about the morality of some of the stuff Hasan has said, that they don't consider a lot of what Israel has been doing in Gaza, Lebanon, or Iran, to be murder.
‘The English language has three voices: an active voice, a passive voice, and a secret unlockable exhonerative voice that journalists only use when describing Israeli war crimes.’
Not the raping of prisoners, the killing of babies, not the ethnic cleansing, destruction of mosques, war graves, hospitals, universities, homes, lives …. It’s the statue that has broken them. What moral degeneracy
There is never going to be peace in the Middle East until a state whose modus operandi is death, destruction, and despair exists and has free rein to do as it pleases. Israel has and will always be the greatest threat to regional stability. That’s the simple truth of it.
What's happened in Lebanon over the past week is categorically worse than Oct 7 and if you say this most people will, at best, shrug or look at you like you're speaking another language
If you could strip away the propaganda the people in the US live under this would be recognized as one of the worst crimes in modern human history. An unambiguous and clear genocide, the daily mass murder of starving people waiting for food. Supported by both political parties!
I love when they bust out the "designated terror organization" distinction like it's some trump card, followed by a bunch of white validators. Israel committed genocide according to every credible human rights group on earth, if this isn't a mode of "terrorism" then nothing is.
Do not assume that this ugly Zionist-US crime was not deliberate. It has always been the Zionist goal to make Jewish life outside the Zionist colony untenable, and to punish Jews outside the Euro-American imperial core who refuse to go into exile in occupied Palestine.
