“We have come and stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” David Ben-Gurion
There are 69 cop cities planned around the country. Militarization, repression, and incarceration are the entire plan for the converging crises of capitalism (climate collapse, war, migration, hunger, etc.).
Under international law:
1. No country has a “right to exist.” There is no legal framework for this.
2. A country controlling, besieging, or otherwise occupying a region cannot claim self defense against it.
They keep saying whatever and libs keep slurping it up.
That’s only the problem if you’re a racist imperialist who chooses not to engage with the vast body of excellent reporting coming from Palestinians in Gaza. Shame on both of you.
“Shitcoating” is the practice of having untrustworthy, odious sources tell certain inconvenient truths, so that people (mostly liberals) reflexively disbelieve and reject that truth.
Handy tool for imperial narrative managers.
‘The hard left was always saying US was interfering in other country’s elections, and I dismissed that out of hand as stupid and actually a slander against my country, but it turned out all to be true. It’s been a shock for me in my middle age to understand’

This deranged game where everyone in power pretends int’l law and US law don’t exist and we’re not legally bound by both to cease sending arms. Which would cease the fire.
Also there’s no need to negotiate w an entity committing genocide, there’s a legal imperative to stop them.
Ma’am until last night, Iran had not attacked another country in 240 years. If that *legal* retaliation makes it a terrorist nation, what does that make the US, with its endless wars, coups, and interventions?
Iran is a terrorist nation. They have just launched a disproportionate terrorist attack against our ally Israel. The free world and the United States will stand against this terrorist nation and the tyranny that it promotes.

She’s also the zimbo who flew to isteal to film herself fake crying at kibbutzes the IDF itself shelled on 10/7. Hat trick of clowning.

So supporting a genocidal apartheid ethnostate rooted in violent theft is a key component of Judaism? Sounds antisemitic to me.
Babygirl you ARE the death penalty, look at yourself. You are the disappointment of a generation and a source of revulsion to millions who very much know what we’re talking about.
@KatyaSedgwick
@jvplive
So by your logic, ancient scripture entitles you to an exclusive ethnostate for which it is acceptable to ethnically cleanse, oppress, and exterminate others? Sounds like religious extremism to me!
@KatyaSedgwick
@jvplive
You just said Zionism is a key component of Judaism. Zionism is nothing if not the support for a genocidal apartheid ethnostate. I don’t think I’m the one with ugly ideas about Jewish people/Judaism here.
There are 200K unhoused people in California. Gavin Newsom’s recent executive order to sweep all encampments in the state means people will have all of their things tossed away & thrown in jail. This is violence.
Your modern Democratic Party!
Any plans to do some rewrites to the script given the confirmation that 28 isteali Apache helicopters emptied their bellies on anything that moved that day?
Good thing the single largest state-funded project in MD history is that recently announced $1B prison. Right on time for the collapse of economic infrastructure.
Americans, do take note that deliberate starvation like we see in Gaza can and will come home to us. The only 2 countries on Earth against making food a human right, living their values.
The “good” is also 69 cop cities to repress you when the problems finally reach you, increased offshore drilling, increased ICE detentions and family separations, expansion of anti LGBTQ+ policies, privatizing Medicare, etc.
The first widespread use of the phrase “rest in power” was in 2003 for Rachel Corrie, a white American woman who was bulldozed by the IOF in Gaza.
Before that it was used in reference to Latino gangs in LA Weekly 1989.
Interesting commentary in DoD's Law of War Manual on Article 7(2) of Amended Protocol II of the CCW relating to booby traps.
The narrative here is that Art 7(2) was intended to ban certain types of booby traps that had been used by the Axis powers, including exploding headsets.
The DNC removed opposition to the death penalty from its platform and liberals are drooling to vote for a cop known for imprisoning Black men after their release dates for the slave labor. And covering up organized child sexual assault.
Dangerously unserious people.
When you financialize and deindustrialize your economy so hard, you can’t launch a war against the eViL cOmMiEs to whom you sent all your industrial jobs in order to keep production costs low and profits high.
Yet again, capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction.
"If we were in a war with China and it stopped providing parts [to the US military], we wouldn't be able to build the planes and weapons we need."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
To take it a step further: I submit there’s no such thing as a “single issue.” This notion seeks to obscure the fact that EVERY issue is interconnected by, and caused by capitalism, the highest stage of which is the beastly empire helmed by the US.
Single Issue Voters
Israel is more than one single issue. Violence abroad manifests at home.
IDF trains our police & sells surveillance technology globally. NYPD even has an office in Jerusalem!
$310 billion sent to Israel which provides free healthcare while we go into debt…

Your regular reminder that the propagandists were among the first hanged at the Nuremberg trials. Good luck with everything, I hope the shame eats you alive at night!
People who think Israel has a right to defend itself at all are fundamentally unserious because they either don’t know or ignore that international law forbids claiming self defense against threats emanating from territory it occupies.
People who think there is no meaningful difference between "Israel has the right to defend itself, but how it does so matters" and "Israel should finish the job" are fundamentally unserious
At +4C, the carrying capacity for humans is 1 billion due to extreme climate impacts. Liberals would rather see 7 billion of you die horrific deaths than see China rise. Yall are a death cult.
They admit they killed him not because he’s an evil terrorist maniac, but because he wanted them to stop killing people in Gaza.
Who needs to be stopped? Who needs to be deradicalized and reeducated? Who needs to pay?
BREAKING: NBC, quoting an Israeli official: "We have decided to kill Nasrallah after concluding that he will not agree to any solution that isn't tied to ending the war in Gaza."

🛑 Haaretz:
Dozens of israeli psychiatrists have left for Britain, escaping the increasing workload amid rising cases of psychological issues among IOF soldiers returning from the Gaza Strip.
Your regular reminder that Zionists are objectively the worst parents on earth: endangering their children by moving them to an apartheid colony which can only exist as a war zone, just to teach them the lesson that they’re entitled to steal property and lives of indigenous ppl.
Two plotters of the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse were exposed as DEA informants. Another was unmasked as an FBI informant.
Now, new court documents provide the most startling evidence yet linking the conspirators with the US govt.
US-led Western imperialism is the primary contradiction, the single greatest threat to humanity and the Earth, and it’s not even close.
China hasn’t fired a shot since the 1980s and is busy forgiving billions in debt to Africa and Iraq.
Russia’s GDP is smaller than Texas’.
Liberals really delivered fascism hiding in a big Trojan unicorn.
A giant genocidal police state cloaked in the vestments of diversity & inclusivity and vulgar individualism.
It’s time to stop falling for it.
Spelled it wrong, dipshit.
Are sociologists studying this phenomenon of Zionists committing anti Jewish hate crimes to garner support for their genocidal campaign?
Last year, on the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, AOC was at a low-income school grooming poor children into the imperial war machine.
You are a ghoul or absolute goofball if you still say ANY of these creeps are here for your emancipation.
AOC has been smearing anti-imperialist activists for years.
Just last year, we protested against her hosting a military recruitment fair at a low-income Bronx public high school.
She then tried to gaslight and smear us as "outside agitators"

Einstein wrote that he thought they were criminals and terrorists and that when a final catastrophe befalls the Zionists in Palestine it will be their own fault (and that of the British) but go off girlie
The freakshow MEPs continue. New Italian communist MEP Laria Salis, who was in jail for almost beating a Neonazi to death in Hungary. Italian communists put her on the ballot so she could get out of jail on parliamentary immunity. She won and is now free. lol.
In a WhatsApp chat of “wealthy pro-Israel donors” discussing how to defeat Rep. Ilhan Omar, one participant argues that the group must support “neo-Nazis” against supporters of Palestine.
This. And if you can’t get behind the legally guaranteed right to Palestinian armed resistance, you are a genocidal white supremacist.
You are rejecting the only tools that have ever liberated a violently oppressed people.
Brianna, international law requires intervention to prevent and punish genocide. Article 1 of the UN Genocide Convention. Iran is acting in accordance with international law.
To anyone saying “at least under democrats we can resist”
1. Yall stopped resisting when Biden won bc “orange man gone”
2. Police violence got steadily worse *after* the George Floyd uprisings and Biden taking office. Worse than under Trump.
According to mapping police violence, police killed more people in 2023 than any year in more than a decade. Police are killing people at a higher rate in 2024.
The present-day is worse than the BLM years.
“All violence is bad”
Poverty is violence
Hunger is violence
Lack of medical care is violence
Lack of dignified housing is violence
Somehow the violence of the status quo, the violence that makes your life comfortable at the expense of the many, gets a pass 🤡
BREAKING | Hebrew Channel 12:
Head of the Shin Bet says Israel is holding 21,000 Palestinian prisoners, a number much higher than the previously reported number of around 9,088.
If you want to feel just how crazy sentences like 'Iran is threatening American interests in the Persian Gulf' really are, try saying out loud 'the US is threatening Iranian interests in the Gulf of Mexico'
Nobody needs talking points to know Jill Stein hasn’t won so much as a bingo game in the last decade and if you actually give a damn about people, you organize, build power and infrastructure, and win.
This is what we’ve been doing to the people of Yemen for YEARS. Their solidarity with Palestine is what “never again for anyone” should mean. They are heroes.
In the years before the US-UK backed Israel's genocide in Gaza, both countries were key supporters of Saudi Arabia's savage war on Yemen, which imposed a man-made famine that pushed 2.3 million kids to brink of starvation.
This is who we are. How much more evidence do you need?
Sara, article 1 of the un genocide convention requires signatories to intervene to prevent and punish genocide.
Iran targeted military outposts, this was Iran fulfilling its obligation to international law. You are not a victim. Just an entitled racist.
I deleted my poorly worded tweet for which i apologize.
Yet Alice Wong's remarks of callous disregard for Israeli lives & rights literally as 10million were in bombshelters under attack by Iran is an antisemitic betrayal of disability activism & unworthy of
@macfound
prize.
Palestinians have been living in Nazi Germany for 75 years.
The identity of the oppressor does not mitigate the depravity of the crimes.
Zionism will lose. Jews and Judaism will overcome and outlast this abomination.
The honorable Steve Cokely talking about Israeli collective punishment in 1993:
“The Palestinians have their water cut off, their electricity cut off. Any time one person in the neighborhood misbehaves they turn off the gas and electricity for everybody in the neighborhood.”
This. AND if your feminism doesn’t also include the millions of women under deadly and illegal U.S. sanctions in Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, etc. you’re just a war pig
White feminism is white supremacy. If your feminism doesn’t include the Palestinian women and girls being slaughtered with US bombs sent by the Biden/Harris administration then it’s just more white supremacy repackaged as progressivism.
LIBERATION IS NOT CONDITIONAL.
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds a map of ‘The New Middle East’ without Palestine during his September 22, 2023 address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.” (Two weeks before 10/7)
Nobody needs talking points to know Jill Stein hasn’t won so much as a bingo game in the last decade and if you actually give a damn about people, you organize, build power and infrastructure, and win.
I remember when the CIA overthrew the Guatemalan government and massacred its people on behalf of Chiquita Banana (it was called United Fruit Co. before the coup).
Corporate death squads are not new. In fact, what do you think the entire US military is?
There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics.

To the zimbos having an orgy of victimhood today:
1. Everyone despises you
2. We also laugh at you a lot
3. It’s all your fault
4. It has nothing to do with your identity, and everything to do w your position on colonialism, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, occupation, and genocide.
As Palestinian Muslims are prevented from reaching the mosque, Israeli occupation forces have allowed hundreds of Israeli settlers to set up a music festival on the grounds of Al-Ibrahimi Mosque in the occupied old city of Hebron.
As loud music played and alcoholic drinks were
This is a *very* small thing, but some folks have criticized Amal Clooney for not speaking publicly about Gaza. This is why.
Shout out to Kevin plus legends Elizabeth Wilmshurst and Theodor Meron (who I recently met and introduced himself as "Ted").
Hey I thought that was reserved for Palestinians. It’s almost like fighting only for your rights at the exclusion of others’ is exactly how you lose them.
“Sorry, Jewish safety requires that you expose and be exposed to deadly viruses at all times. Take the Long Covid with the same T-cell derangement found in AIDS or you’re an antisemite.”
Surely this can’t backfire!
Reminder that the US brutalized indigenous people to build the Dakota Access Pipeline, as part of its plan to force Europe to buy our gas from across the ocean. The US-backed Nord Stream bombing is this single largest act of ecoterrorism in history.
Remember who blew up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline? The US tried to blame Russia for blowing up their own pipeline that supplies 40% of the EU’s natural gas. They’ve tracked the bombers to 4 divers, at least one of them is Ukranian.
#nordstream2
We could have healthcare and 90%+ homeownership like they do in China, but we have to spend billions of dollars to make sure everyone thinks China so scary instead :(
On top of everything else, it’s a cynical exploitation of LGBTQ+ people, using them as both a shield and a bludgeon to legitimize their many crimes against humanity. Queer liberation is not compatible with capitalism or imperialism.
Instead of building housing for the homeless, Democrats across the nation are building cop cities to train police to brutalize the homeless. The fascism you fear is already here.
What’s the word for a government that not only ignores the majority opinion, but viciously persecutes those who publicly vocalize that majority opinion?
CBS poll: 61% of Americans oppose weapons aid to Israel’s assault in Gaza. 77% of Democrats and 63% of self-identifying moderates reject US weapons aid to Israel.
77% of under 30 oppose weapons aid to Israel, 75% of Black Americans, 66% of women, 56% of white college grads.
Maybe Jewish life on campus should not be centered around a settler colonial apartheid ethnostate in west Asia perpetually committing ethnic cleansing and the most documented genocide in planetary history.
Might give folks the wrong idea about what Judaism is all about, no?
Happening Now: While Jewish students gather for their first Hillel dinner at Baruch College in New York, pro-Palestinians are chanting outside “Baruch Hillel go to hell.”
SJP has clearly developed a new strategy of targeting Hillel, the center of Jewish life on campus.
It wasn’t progressives, it was marxists, and as usual, we were reviled, called apologists, and ostracized for having the correct analysis in real time.
This is called “premature antifascism” - being hated for being correct before it is socially acceptable.
You may think climate collapse won’t impact you but in multiple states, major insurers are pulling policies.
They don’t do this for fun, they do it because they understand the climate forecast.
Millions of Americans will be internally displaced. Good thing we got cop cities!
Houston situation is very important and related to the insurance cancellations we are seeing in every danger area - we have reached a tipping point where the numbers don’t add up anymore for rebuilding after disasters so now we are reaching abandonment phase
