Don't know who needs to hear this but if you believe that there is any validity in 'spheres of influence' you are part of the problem. Ukraine is not in Russia's 'sphere of influence'. The Uighurs don't just 'belong' to China.
None of this shit is predetermined by anything. You do NOT have to play into the game of nation states and absorb authoritarian logic uncritically.
This is why I do not take 'left' critiques seriously unless they put people before states. No exceptions.

Cool except that Caithlin Johnstone is a pro-Assad, pro-CCP and pro-Putin propagandist so she can cut the crap about giving a shit about Palestinians.

Never forget this and never forget that this was repeated a dozen times since. There was no need for this war. No need for the genocide. No need for any of this.
It was all a political decision for Netanyahu to avoid accountability, and it was only possible because of the direct complicity of the Biden administration.

6 Israeli hostages executed by Hamas shortly before they were found. A horrific war crime, inexcusable. My condolences to the families.
Let us also make this very clear and do not let anyone tell you otherwise: hostage deals, many of them by now, have all been feasible.
Netanyahu explicitly rejected them. He made the political decision to sacrifice Israeli citizens to pursue his genocide of the Palestinians.

From week 1, the safest and most efficient way of releasing the hostages was to make a peace deal. Anything less than that is a betrayal to the ones who are already dead and to the ones still alive. But pursuing revenge through a genocide was just more important than the lives of their own compatriots. This means that to Israel’s apologists, the death of innocent Palestinians has simply been more important, more satisfying even, than freeing Israeli hostages.

The irony with all those people who respond to any image or video of a suffering Palestinian child with a ‘what about the hostages?’ is that those people are directly complicit in condemning these Israeli hostages to death.

Palestinian children in Gaza are of course suffering the most, and so are their loved ones. But we shouldn’t make the mistake of thinking that a society like Israel’s that produces teenagers doing tiktok trends with the screams of mourning parents as their background soundtrack is a victorious society, a healthy one, a happy one. Genocides have a way of also destroying the societies committing them.

I genuinely believe in what James Baldwin said, that if you can’t see another child as equally valuable to your own, you are already broken as a human being, you’re already a moral monster. Your own child is also victimized by this, because they now have moral monsters as parents who cannot, by definition, be full of love around their own children because they have decided to accept a world in which other children do not matter.

2024-08-21 14:18:16

I have found myself multiple times on the verge of breaking down at the ease with which Israel is exterminating children. Tens of thousands murdered days, weeks, months or barely a few years after being born in this world, with nothing but the open-air prison that is Gaza as your reality.

2024-08-19 19:31:20

There is no longer any doubt in my mind that unless there is an immediate ceasefire and arms embargo on Israel, a wider war is inevitable. It’s the next logical step for a fascist regime led by Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Smotrich and their ilk. I’ve never been more afraid for our entire region.

Israel killed two journalists in Gaza today, bringing the number of murdered journalists to 165. Ismail Al Ghoul and Rami Al Rifi were both targeted.
Ismail worked for Al Jazeera. There is very gruesome footage of his headless corpse in the driver seat of his blown up car.
Nearly 10 months of genocide.

Instead of yelling try and sit with this for a sec: what could Israel-Palestine have been like if Bush had just responded to a letter?
In 2006, Haniyeh offered Israel a compromise that’s just the internationally recognised consensus, the 2 state solution. Again, 2006.
What happened instead if the blockade of Gaza, half a dozen wars, and now a genocide. Two million civilians punished just bcs the Americans are moral monsters.
18 years. Most Gazans aren’t even 18 yo.

This is not an exception to the rule. This is a common attitude among many Zionists who do genuinely believe that the Jews murdered in the Holocaust were weak, ‘like sheep to the slaughter.’ They routinely erase Jewish resistance fighters against the Nazis including the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. They hate the Jewish Labor Bund as mich as they hate Palestinians.

Important note here: Israel is killing the ppl wanted by the ICC. This means if they kill Sinwar, they will then can say it’s unfair to only prosecute Israelis. I can’t stress how dangerous this moment is.

In addition to bombing Beirut and conducting a raid in Tehran, the Israelis have also killed four members of the Iraqi Kataib Hezbollah group last night near Baghdad as well.
They’re absolutely losing. Their goal is to kill everyone. You don’t do this without getting a full-scale war.

If the only thing you care about is the Israeli hostages please understand that Netanyahu wants them killed, or is at least indifferent if they live or die. You have you understand this. Every avenue to release them he has brutally shut them down.

2024-07-31 05:19:07

The Israelis assassinated Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’ political leader, in Tehran. It was a raid which means they were physically there.
Haniyeh wasn’t involved in October 7. He was involved n in negotiations though, and Israel just killed him. This is a significant escalation. They have absolutely no interest in international law.
Unless their allies rein them in I fear for a regional war, even if Netanyahu is removed.

Israel bombed Dahiyeh, no details yet. friends even pretty far away reported hearing the blast. One friend’s building shook and another one has broken glass.

We had to wait 4.5 months for our baby to be healthy enough to come home as she was born very prematurely. And we were lucky to be in Geneva. The fact that moms in #Gaza are forced to give birth in such conditions is horrific. To give birth to a premature baby, be unable to feed them because you are yourself not getting enough food, see them cramped with other premature babies, having no nappies, no formula. And this is what they call civilisation? https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/war-gaza-no-nappies-formula-or-food-new-mothers-struggle-keep-their-babies-alive #Palestine #Israel

How is it normal to use your own religious symbol as a tool of torture and humiliation? The answer is that the Star of David here is turned into a symbol of fascism, and anyone with any basic understanding of history should find this insulting and outrageous.

This is amazing: Lebanon backtracks from allowing the ICC to investigate crimes on its soil. Lebanon initially made the decision to allow the ICC to investigate Israeli crimes in Lebanon. My guess? Hezbollah freaked out by the ICC decision on Hamas leaders. Hezbollah is behind loads of assassinations of prominent anti-Assad figures in Lebanon, and I am guessing that this would have opened up for the ICC to investigate those.

The Atlantic publishes an oped that literally includes the sentence “it is possible to legally kill children”
The NYT describes Israel violating the ICJ orders by literally copying official Israeli PR.
The BBC describes yesterday’s massacre in Rafah as ‘a violent incident’
The WSJ described that same massacre as ‘dozens killed and wounded after explosions’

Jesus Christ. “A Papua New Guinea government official has told the United Nations more than 2,000 people were believed to have been buried alive by Friday's landslide and has formally asked for international help.
The government figure is roughly triple the U.N. estimate of 670 killed by the landslide in the South Pacific island nation's mountainous interior. The remains of only six people had been recovered so far.”

I just can’t comprehend how one can look at footage of what #Israel just did in #Rafah #Gaza overnight and not conclude that there js something fundamentally broken about Israelis. And yes, there are obviously exceptions here, very noble ones. I’ve platformed a number of them on my podcast, but even they say that they are a rare voice, that most Jewish Israelis around them are either enthusiastic about the genocide or indifferent about its victims.

2024-05-26 22:23:54

There must be a complete arms embargo on Israel immediately. Sanctions immediately. Cut off all diplomatic relations immediately.
Israel is responding to both ICJ and ICC news by intensifying it’s attacks on Gaza. They are turning Rafah into hell on Earth to punish civilians.

It is completely normal politics in #Israel today to be openly rejoicing the burning of #Gaza and its people.
Dozens of civilians are dead in the videos. We can see it all. Charred bodies of men and women, headless babies. The screams of Palestinians being burned alive. Israelis are watching these videos and celebrating.
They’re all available on Twitter. I won’t share them. #Palestine

Incredible report: “Europe supports, finances and is directly involved in clandestine operations in North African countries to dump tens of thousands of Black people in the desert or remote areas each year to prevent them from coming to the EU.”
This makes the EU directly complicit in human trafficking, torture and murder of black people.

Netanyahu, Gantz, Biden and virtually all of Israel’s accomplices in this genocide are now launching a campaign against the International Criminal Court.
Also condemning this arrest warrant is Hamas. So congrats to the Biden admin on finding something in common with Hamas.

The Telegraph headline on Palestinian refugees is in essence identical to how rightwing British tabloids wrote about Jewish refugees when Britain denied them safe refuge during the Holocaust.
These institutions are dedicated to White supremacy at all costs. They view us as disposable nonhumans.
Any PoC and/or Jew who thinks these people are on their side is wrong. They may temporarily pretend to not hate Jews or Ukrainians or whoever but that’s all it is: temporary.
