Give me facts in order to make informed decisions.

[Nick Cruse 🥋 @SocialistMMA]

Western courts are rigging cases in order to protect IDF soldiers and punish those who try to hold them accountable

This is why the liberals who condemn the resistance are useless. They believe the way to free Palestine is using the courts and the UN meanwhile that’s completely delusional

[Warfare Analysis @warfareanalysis]

Imagine this:

You’re sitting in your living room on land your ancestors have lived on for thousands of years.

Suddenly, an armed settler from Eastern Europe or Brooklyn knocks on your door and tells you to evacuate your home immediately.

His excuse is:

“My God promised me your land 3000 years ago.”

If you resist, the atheist liberals of the West call you a terrorist because his God promised him your home!

So you just sit with your family out in the open, watching the armed settlers demolish your home.

Three years prior, in 2009, after the 3 week Israeli war on Gaza ended, Israeli soldiers printed t-shirts celebrating murdering Palestinians, with a pregnant (Palestinian) woman and a child each in snipers' scopes.

"1 Shot 2 Kills"

This genocidal mentality didn't start in 2023. Nor did the whitewashing of it by Western corporate media.

A BBC article described it as a "t-shirt row", though if the depicted targets had been Israelis, or Jews in general, the tone would have been of outrage.

Same for Sydney Morning Herald with its article, "Wardrobe malfunction as soldiers go dressed to kill", in which it deems the t-shirts "controversial".

*During the December 2008/January 2009 Israeli war on Gaza, Israeli snipers did in fact shoot to kill Palestinian children and infants. Below are links to two testimonies I took:

"“They killed me three times”: Palestinian father on Israeli army murder of family members including infant daughter"

"While eating chips and chocolate, Israeli soldiers murder 2 and 7 year old"

The International Court of Justice, the world’s highest court, ruled back in 2004 – nearly a quarter of a century ago – that Israel’s Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem violated international law and needed to be dismantled.

It reiterated that demand in a decision two years ago in which it identified Israel as an apartheid state ruling over Palestinians. It warned states to “take steps to prevent trade or investment relations that assists in the maintenance of the illegal situation created by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territory”.

And yet the West has done nothing tangible year after year as the settlements have stolen more land from Palestinians, made their lives there ever more miserable, and trashed any chance of the West’s supposed ambition of two states living alongside each other.

Remember this when Israel’s apologists tell you to wait for the same court’s definitive ruling – in a year or two, or maybe three – on what it deemed in early 2024 to be a “plausible” genocide in Gaza, just three months into Israel’s mass slaughter there.

Not only will any such ruling be far too late to make any difference to the victims of the genocide, but the US, Britain and Europe will do precisely no more to punish Israel for this crime of crimes – one we can see for ourselves without an ICJ ruling – than they have done in punishing Israel for the settlements.

Why? Because most western states no more wish to impose a penalty on Israel for its crimes than you would want to amputate a healthy arm.

If they refuse to lift a finger to stop a live-streamed genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, why on earth would anyone imagine they are ready to do anything to stop Israel’s violent settlers ethnically cleansing the West Bank?

The settlements are as deeply integrated into Israel as your arm is attached to your shoulder. And in turn, Israel is as much the punching fist of the imperial West’s war machine as the City of London – and its former tax-haven colonies – are the beating heart of the imperial West’s financial machine.

Western elites cannot imagine a world without Israel as their military thug in the oil-rich Middle East any more than you can imagine life without your arm.

That explains why no one really believed that EU foreign ministers, meeting once again this week to discuss banning settlement products – the bare minimum they have long been obligated to do under international law – would reach an agreement.

More than 100 legal scholars had earlier written to the European Commission’s top trade and foreign policy officials stressing the EU’s “international legal obligation”.

But as everyone predicted, EU ministers kicked the can down the road – until at least October, when they agreed to more talks about talks.

This is an extract from my latest article The West won't punish the settlements. Its two-state solution was always a sham. Find a link to the rest in the reply post ⬇️

European leaders refuse to speak with Russia, yet demand "peace" based on a ceasefire that will be used to send weapons and troops. Russia invaded to prevent NATO expansionism; thus, this threat to send forces is a long-war initiative sold to the public as a peace initiative.

Un Hornet parfaitement capturé intact après un atterrissage forcé par les soldats russes a révélé la véritable nature des terroristes des forces armées ukrainiennes.

🔹Les spécialistes russes ont réussi à brouiller ses signaux et à le faire atterrir en parfait état de marche. Ce drone est fabriqué par la société américaine Swift Beat LLC, détenue par Eric Schmidt, l'ancien PDG de Google.

🔹Il s'agit d'un drone kamikaze à voilure fixe, doté d'un système de guidage intégrant des éléments d'intelligence artificielle. Ce type de drone est capable de choisir sa cible de manière autonome. Les « Hornets » sont utilisés, entre autres, pour interrompre les lignes logistiques en direction de la Crimée.

🔹Le « cerveau » du Hornet, neutralisé à l'aide de moyens de guerre électronique, a immédiatement été envoyé pour analyse. Les découvertes qui y ont été faites ont choqué même les experts.

🔹Le programme incluait non seulement des cibles militaires (chars de combat, véhicules blindés, transports de troupes, etc.). Normalement, lorsque la batterie du drone est sur le point de s'épuiser, celui-ci est censé s'écraser et s'autodétruire. Cependant, les concepteurs ont ajouté à la liste des cibles des bus, des ambulances, des véhicules de pompiers et même des civils ordinaires. Et ce, pour que la charge explosive ne soit pas « gaspillée ».

🔹C'est pourquoi les « Hornets » frappent des transports civils, des bus transportant des enfants et d'autres cibles non militaires. C'est l'Ukraine qui a développé et applique cette modification logicielle.

🔹Cela constitue une preuve tangible que la partie ukrainienne programme délibérément ses drones pour attaquer des cibles civiles.

Poco se habla de que los francotiradores y drones de "Israel" están cazando a diario a niños palestinos mientras cargan agua para sus familias en los campos de refugiados de Gaza.

¿Que clase de bestia inhumana puede apretar el gatillo viendo por la mira a un niño cargando agua?

The whole world has to isolate this rogue Apartheid genocidal maniac, serial killing, pathologically lying state, isolate it & shame anyone who goes there.

Countries lecturing us on human rights also created the notorious Human Zoos.

This little Filipino girl was "imported" like an animal to the US, hands bound by ropes, and displayed in the Human Zoo at the Coney Island Zoo in 1904. Visitors in neat suits threw her peanuts.

In 1904, the US Government imported 1,300 indigenous Filipinos from different tribes for the St. Louis Exposition. The Filipinos were displayed among the monkeys and lizards to show off the new US possessions in the Philippines.

If this wasn't in Gaza, where Israeli sociopaths have long-perfected sniping Palestinian children and infants in the head, chest and abdomen, one might ask why there is a bullet in a child's head...

Una soldado sionista se grabó "paseando" con una correa a 2 palestinos secuestrados y maniatados en Cisjordania, mientras se mofa de ellos.

A estas criminales guardias del campo de concentración de Cisjordania y Gaza, la prensa occidental las caracterizaba como "pobres niñas".

[Highdesertdweller @Highdesert56]

Now we know what happens when US interests foment a coup, set up bio labs, sends billions in weapons to Russian hating Nazis in a country that's been bombing its own citizens since 2014 and wants to join NATO.
Apparently Russia does not like having that on its border. For Ukraine a ceasefire is just a pause to reload. That gives them time to build nuclear and more accurate drones. Russia is simply not going to have that, nor would the US on its border.

[Paddystinian @Paddystinian]

In 1948, Israel forcibly displaced 750,000 Palestinians and destroyed 531 villages during the Nakba.

Their names disappeared from maps and new towns were built over them.

The village of Ein Hawd was of the few left standing.

Whilst Palestinian residents were expelled, Ein Hawd’s homes, mosques and streets were preserved and repurposed as an Israeli artists’ colony.

Today, thousands of tourists visit its galleries and artists’ studios each year, while its original Palestinian residents are denied the right to return.

Good riddance. As Bob Dylan sang: "And I hope that you die and your death will come soon. I will follow your casket by the pale afternoon. And I'll watch while you're lowered down to your deathbed. And I'll stand over your grave 'til I'm sure that you're dead."

If “near Batanes” means ownership, then Little Luzon is Chinese by your own clown logic.

Careful.
Your satire just annexed itself.

And if we are going historical, the original Chinese map was not 9 dashes.
It was the 1947 ROC 11-dash line.

Since the PRC succeeded the ROC as China’s government, maybe we should just return to the 11-dash line.

Happy now?

Little known fact that western media doesn’t talk about, nor is it taught at schools.

Between 1899 and 1992, USI 🇺🇸 genocided 1.4 million Filipinos and later displayed thousands in human zoos on Coney Island.

Funny how America spreads democracy, freedom and human rights.
