This isn’t a toy.
It’s a cluster bomb.
Israel is dropping cluster bombs shaped like small footballs across South Lebanon — designed to attract children before they tear them apart.
This is a war crime.
And yet, not a peep from the complicit international community, of course.
The Israeli military’s repeated use of unlawful mass “evacuation” and no-return orders to displace and terrify hundreds of thousands of people in Lebanon flagrantly violates international humanitarian law.

🚨 BREAKING: Lebanon files UN Security Council complaint accusing I$rael of violating the Chemical Weapons Convention in the south
Lab tests from Aita al-Shaab, Naqoura, and Dhaira confirmed catastrophic levels of Glyphosate—a cancer-linked chemical—in agricultural soil.
Normal farming levels would show 0.5 to 2 mcg/g but tests on soil in South Lebanon show 22,750 mcg/g, 11,000 times above safe levels
It has been labeled by some as a deliberate war crime designed to permanently destroy arable border lands.
Here is our report from the scene filmed in February
The State of Israel has been exposed for openly meddling in a Democratic Primary between @kai_newkirk and AIPAC backed New Dems chair Greg Stanton.
Newkirk filed a complaint with the AGs office and called for Stanton to denounce the state of Israel’s election interference
Israel Rapes Everyone, And Other Notes
International flotilla activists say they were subjected to torture and sexual assault by Israeli forces after being abducted in international waters while attempting to bring aid to Gaza.
A statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla reports that the IDF held the activists on a makeshift “torture boat”, asserting that “At least 12 sexual assaults have been documented on that vessel alone, including anal rape and forcible penetration by a handgun.”
This comes after a New York Times report on Israel’s systemic use of sexual torture in its prison camps sent hasbarists howling in outrage for days, and after a Haaretz report on the Israeli military’s internal findings that sexual assault is soaring among its own ranks.
If you knew someone who was constantly being accused of rape by different people on a daily basis, at some point you’d have to conclude that that person is a rapist. When you see the Israeli military being constantly accused by people from all walks of life of using rape and sexual torture, you have to conclude that Israel is a rape country.
❖
They made up lies about atrocities so that they could justify committing atrocities. They made up lies about rape so that they could justify rape. They made up lies about dead babies to justify killing babies. They framed themselves as victims to justify victimizing others.

It looks like the US may be reaching a deal with Iran, with warmongers like Mike Pompeo, Lindsey Graham and Mark Dubowitz expressing dismay at the terms the agreement appears likely to include.
I no longer feel a sense of relief when the US war machine shows signs of de-escalation, because these days it’s just a sign they’re getting ready to escalate somewhere else. If Washington sets up an memo of understanding with Iran it only means they’re preparing to regime change Cuba, with plans to re-target Iran using different strategies already being drawn up for a later date.
It’s like when you know a guy who always abuses his girlfriends. If you see one of his partners escape her abusive relationship, after a certain point you’re going to stop feeling a sense of relief, because after watching the patterns play out over and over again you know he’s just going to find some other unfortunate woman to put in that spot. The amount of abuse remains constant; all that changes is the victim.
The violence of the US empire remains constant. It moves around, but it doesn’t diminish. If you see it pulling back a bit, that only means it’s preparing to come roaring forward, like a wave to the shore.
The tide of imperial violence is going to keep returning until the empire is dismantled.
❖
There’s nothing more undignified than buying into the US war propaganda about Cuba. I see people show up in my replies arguing that Cuba is actually a real threat to the United States and it feels like they’re showing me videos of themselves eating feces. It’s so self-debasing.
❖
Normalize telling warmongering gusanos to shut the fuck up. US regime change interventionism is evil regardless of wherever your family happens to come from. Your family fleeing Cuba in the sixties does not magically make siege warfare and mass murder acceptable. Shut up.

Point 1: Every relevant human rights group says Israel is an apartheid state.
Point 2: Every relevant human rights group says Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza.
Point 3: Genocidal apartheid states should not exist.
Point 4: If you disagree with Point 3, you’re a bad person.
❖
Normal person: Genocide is bad.
Israel supporter: Just say you hate Jews.
Normal person: I oppose Zionism.
Israel supporter: Jews. You mean Jews. Say Jews.
Normal person: The Israel lobby is causing problems.
Israel supporter: Jews Jews Jews Jews Jewy Jew Jews.
Normal person: But I don’t mean Jews. I’m expressing specific grievances against a specific state, its backers, and the political ideology it is premised upon. I judge people based on their individual actions, not on their religion.
Israel supporter: JEWWWWWWS.
Normal person: You realize you’re doing the exact same thing neo-Nazis do, right? You’re conflating all Jews with everything bad about Israel and the forces which give rise to its abuses.
Israel supporter: It is antisemitic to conflate all Jews with the actions of Israel.
Normal person: Then why do you keep conflating all Jews with the actions of Israel?
Israel supporter: Because it is antisemitic not to conflate all Jews with the actions of Israel.

Benjamin Netanyahu continues to reject responsibility for his military’s actions in Gaza and Lebanon, while also pushing for censorship of those speaking out about the humanitarian crisis unfolding in these regions.
@AnaKasparian breaks down the growing decline in public support for the Israeli government and Netanyahu’s leadership, and how bipartisan support in Washington continues to fund and sustain these conflicts.

Israel was established on 14 May 1948. That’s 28,457 days to this day. And there hasn’t been a single day without Israel killing, looting, raping, harassing, or committing crimes against Palestinians. That is over 77 years of occupation with zero breaks.

Total. Disaster.
Not just this — the Iranians said that after the call, the US delegation mostly wanted to discuss Israel’s demands. Netanyahu called to tell the US what to say. Pathetic ‘superpower’ on its way out.
Reports on the US–Iran talks suggest a stark contrast in preparation,raising questions about which side is genuinely intent on reaching a resolution.
The US delegation arrived only on the 11th in a rush.
After landing, Vance is said to have taken a four-hour rest to recover from jet lag.
By the time he reached the negotiating room, the Iranian team had already outlined the main points for the opening round of discussions.
Sources claim the US had not even finalized the agenda with the Pakistani side beforehand and was instead working off a framework put forward by Iran.
This last-minute approach sits uneasily alongside the fact that the US delegation numbered around 300 people.
The US side reportedly brought only a few pages of broad, principle-based proposals, while the Iranian delegation arrived with extensive documentation and draft agreements.
Their materials included over 120 pages of technical specifications on nuclear facility safety alone, suggesting a far higher level of preparation and a clearer commitment to producing concrete outcomes.
In all my life I have not seen so much manufacturing of consent for a nuclear strike
And all for the preservation of a psychotic little apartheid state called “Israel”

New analysis looking at the demographics of Palestinians killed in Gaza by Israel finds that it most resembles infamous indiscriminate massacres such as in Rwanda and Cambodia under Pol Pot.
HOLD UP...is this Kamala saying we should be transactional and demand something in exchange for our votes?????
I remember myself and others getting attacked by Democratic Party shills, fanatics and K-Hive cult members for demanding tangibles in 2023-24. How the tables turn.
