The US Empire is crumbling, which means there is still hope for humanity.

There is no "civilized" way to carry out systematic genocide. Desecration of bodies, rape, kidnapping, torture, wiping out of 1000's of of families, all this has been happening while ppl did their best to look away whenever possible and normalize. #FreePalestine

once again, exactly as Iranian political scientist Foad Izadi said, Democrats will make sure to block any deal that is not in line with Israel's demands, which allows Trump to go "well I tried, can't blame me!", assuming this bullshit MoU even gets to that stage. The Zionist uniparty ensures total Zionist Israeli control

These images are f****** insane. You’re telling me she drew things like this, achieved fame and fortune popularizing them in the west where Muslims are already dehumanized and portrayed as evil, and she was a “radical leftist”? Also said Chavez was an evil dictator. Wow.

Marjane Satrapi was just one of many grifters in a huge wave of Iranian “artists” and “intellectuals” who built careers by portraying everything related to Iran as dark, miserable, backward, and shameful, while humiliating our culture and our country for Western approval.

These people discovered one simple fact: the West loves to amplify any voice that helps demonize Iran as a country and as a civilization.

That is how their mediocre talent gets promoted, celebrated, and invited into every cultural circle. They chose the easy road -- not the difficult path of real talent, originality, and creativity, but the comfortable path of selling humiliation as “art” and self-hatred as “intellectual courage.”

I do not shed a single tear for the disappearance of people like her from public memory.

Grifters are forgotten much sooner than they imagine.

@dopefish_lives @darlingube Meanwhile, zero people were killed in Hong Kong protest a few years back, despite several leaders openly admitting to working with American politicians. Compare that to George Floyd protests. The exceptionalism and cognitive dissonance is mind blowing. https://t.co/nJw10kALoI

[Tiredmama @theUSisfailing]

@dopefish_lives @darlingube Literally just yesterday someone at my work was talking about how this guy got run over by a tank. “Can’t protest in China without being run over by a tank.” That’s the point. Stories around this picture prevail over what people can see with their own eyes.

Just watched the video of the Iranian woman filming a US-Israeli double tap strike that would claim her life. The fear in her voice is palpable but she does not stutter when she declares her testament of faith - she chose to spend her final and terrifying moments, committing herself to her faith. Her voice, its tremble and strength, brought me to tears. For the past 3 years, we have seen so much similar footage come out of Gaza, out of Lebanon - last moments caught on camera, last moments drenched in fear, resistance and a clinging to God.

You don’t have to be a person of faith - I don’t even think you need to like religion, or Islam - to understand the profundity of what we are witnessing in these moments.

These are not inevitable deaths, they are engineered.

And what we are witnessing, over and over again, are human beings in their final moments - at their most vulnerable, most alone - making one last act of defiance against a world that has decided they are not worthy of continuing to live.

@IsraelMFA Says the assholes who did this.

[SEMSEM @0samaelsawi]

@IsraelMFA The Israeli regime has violated human rights and committed declared war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza, including genocide and ethnic cleansing.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

I don't want to be one of those people who wastes their time criticizing "hypocrisy" in foreign policy, but holy fucking shit, dude. Jesus Christ. My God.

I will never, ever express sympathy for Israelis. Ever. Under any circumstances. To do so would be irresponsible, because Israel always weaponizes sympathy and then uses that weapon to commit mass atrocities. If the world gives Israel sympathy for civilians injured by an Iranian airstrike over the weekend in a war Israel started, by Friday they'll be using that sympathy to justify nuking Tehran.

I don't enjoy holding this position. It goes against every natural human impulse inside me. But Israel, by its nature, has made it the only responsible position to hold.

History has clearly established that the world was wrong to give Israel sympathy for October 7. The correct and moral thing to have done would have been for everyone to say "That's what you get for being a murderous apartheid state," and then sanction Israel into the Stone Age until they dismantled their abusive ethnonationalist regime. That would have been the right position for the world to take.

And that's how we need to be with Israel going forward. No sympathy. No support. We've got to treat them the same way you'd treat a malignant narcissist who solicits sympathy and then weaponizes it at every opportunity. To do otherwise would be irresponsible. It's just not safe.

When I was in my 20s I wished to deepen my understanding of the Israel-Palestine situation. So I purchased at least a dozen books - mostly semi-obscure, academic, many by dissenting Israeli historians.

A day came when I closed a book halfway through, resolved to read no further, even to try to forget all I had learned, and then I donated all the books. It was clear, painfully and miserably clear, that I would be wasting my life trying to understand it more when it was nothing more than this.

Iran has been bombing perhaps 10 countries for over two weeks, everyday, firing thousands of missiles and drones under heavy attacks, aiming for targets hundreds and thousands of kilometers away -

Didn't hit one school.

[VB 🔆 @VillainBaller]

I don't wanna hear about your 9/11 anymore, man. It's been 9/11 everyday for people in the middle east for the past 20 years. Fuckin barbarians and murderers.

[Victims of Capitalism Memorial Foundation @karaokecomputer]

All that evil western propaganda about Iran's women football team supposedly delivering coded international distress signals begging to seek asylum gobbled up massive airtime on US media - only to culminate in this moment (that you know US networks won't cover).
