@LukefromDC Needed them there for a long time to protect the poor and housing deprived. Also, LAPD Metro is planning on forming their own pd separately from lapd. Better to hassle those folks you know? @israel@palestine
Several Israeli media sources (& Hurriyet) report that the #UAE & #Egypt will participate in ‘day after’ Arab security force in Gaza.
Egyptian & Emirati media silent on this, probably because the people are strongly opposed to this scheme; governments would condition participation on Palestinian statehood - which Bibi blocks. @israel@egypt@uae
#Hamas said NO FOREIGN TROOPS, quite clearly a couple of weeks ago @Sherifazuhur. They SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED Arab nations as unwelcome. They don't want so-called 'peacekeepers' from arab #NATO SATRAPS . This is WAR. They intend to win, scorched earth or not
I suggest, without joking, a coalition of the formerly colonized... consisting of the nations in that category pursuing the ICC #genocide case, to supply MILITARY MUTUAL AID to Hamas in the form of #IDF killing troops. @israel@egypt@uae
“An Israeli officer and three soldiers from the #Givati Brigade were killed and others wounded on Monday during fierce battles in the city of #Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army said it monitored the launching of about 50 missiles from Lebanese territory towards the central Golan while sirens sounded in Haifa.
Israel continued to bomb various areas throughout the Gaza Strip, including Rafah and #Jabaliya.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 37,164 Palestinians have been killed, and 84,832 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.”
A brutal, nine-hour, multi-agency police assault against unarmed protesters at UC Santa Cruz shows the university would rather use violence against its own students than address demands to divest from genocide.
@indyradio ABC is most likely correct. I believe those 3 were killed during the kibbutz raid early on. Hamas has been giving a count and location, but not names, of other hostages killed by the IDF, via a number of telegram channels. @mondoweiss@palestine@israel
Garbage #Poll. What exactly does "nationally representative sample" mean?
'The American Jewish Committee, using '..a nationally representative sample of 1,001 Jews aged 18 or older. Online interviews were conducted..."'
Scores @BBCWorld ? Say it. 210 #Palestinians killed including children to rescue 👉immigration law violating👈 prisoners that look like they were treated better than the average US or UK prisoner, and CERTAINLY BETTER than #JulianAssange ever has been at Belmarsh #concentrationcamp
You see? Compare to the way Palestinians look after captivity. #gaza
Palestine has ignited our planetary consciousness once again, and it is the student movement that refuses to let genocide become our new normal. They know that the fight for Palestine is a fight for us all.
You have to break eggs to make an omelette and Civilians die in wars and Hamas is a liberation army seeking to put an end to the people doing the killing. They ARE NOT CLASSIFIED as a terror org by ANY global body including the UN and they ARE the ABSOLUTE equivalent of the Vietnamese NLF @DropBear. You DID support the NLF, didn't you? Oh, and I'm blocking his one 👉@SuckMyWang with malice, just b/c 'handle'. @palestine@israel
Juan Cole on the war criminals that have already appeared in Congress starting from George W. Bush.
"Lots of other unsavory people have traipsed through the national legislature’s halls. I’m not sure any of them has killed as many innocents as Netanyahu, the Butcher of Gaza."
@NotImpressed Bernie's just angry they never showed him the dead Palestinians when he hung out at that 'model' kibbutz in Israel designed to convince American Jews IsraelFuckYeah, after he bailed on the civil rights movement. Iow, he's playing Fooled. DON'T BE FOOLED by BernJob. His whole public persona is fake. @palestine@israel
Mayors, police chiefs, and university heads have defended their violent attacks on student protests by claiming “outside agitators” are the cause of unrest. This racist trope was used during the civil rights movement and is equally obscene today.
@KawaTora The congresscreeps would do it without the bribes. Israel is a CLIENT STATE for the US and NATO in an oil war they KNEW would eventually happen. The Tail DOES NOT Wag The Dog. Eventually it will be abandoned when it's usefulness runs out. @mondoweiss@palestine@israel
"Muddy Thinking in the Mississippi River Delta uses the story of mud to answer a deceptively simple question: How can a place uniquely vulnerable to sea level rise be one of the nation’s most promiscuous producers and consumers of fossil fuels?"
Indiana University's "Liberation Commencement" was a celebration of the students' brave commitment to fighting powerful institutions and their involvement in challenging Zionism and the Palestinian genocide.
@Micha_Silver And they do it ALL through the human version of Cattle Contol pens and gates. Like concentration camp prisoners on their way to mittlebau work details at nordhausen.
Canada’s largest private high school recently organized a genocide solidarity trip in which students cooked for Israeli soldiers. In a sane world, the school’s charitable status would be revoked.
@DropBear Actually, Fascism is eternal. It came first, and the specific zionist faction in Israel the west enabled is just one flavor of fascism (zionism overall is technically a doomsday cult) closely resembling nazism, b/c Lehi Stern Gang Irgun consorted with the Nazis and learned all the tricks the Nazis learned from N America's invaders
@DropBear What I meant by doomsday cult. Mid-1800s Im central asian jewish background. My grandpa was chased across the baltic by the pogroms to those E Eu slums where Zionism originated, then to Ellis. The west enabled a scumbag fascist faction. Jabotinsky... people like that. Proof that the scum with guns get to define terms like Zionism @EyalL@mondoweiss@palestine@israel
A new bill in Congress would extend some U.S. military benefits to the estimated 20,000 Americans currently carrying out the Gaza genocide as members of the Israeli military.
@mondoweiss As with national guard troops. Can't be fired from the job you were doing. A host of military service benefits.
Meanwhile... There are thousands of US Vets who are going to sleep in the street tonight. Many are 'damaged' due to their experience in the military.
@plink I had a post removed for saying Israeli society needs deprogranming from believing genocide is ok, so I won't repeat it here. . . @palestine@israel
The New York Times has astonished its readers by publishing a long indictment of a subject it has purposely ignored for years: “Jewish terrorism” against Palestinians.
Don't be fooled by Joe Biden's recent speech on antisemitism. Biden doesn’t care about Jews unless they share his support for Zionism. The rest of us are enemies of the state.
@OnePlanet@mondoweiss@palestine@israel It was semantics. The weapons were never going to stop and were either in transit or already delivered. What he's talking about is the MONEY for them, and as seen in the Ukraine funding, that money is going to weapons manufacturers to replace the weapons given, and doesn't affect the weapons transfer at all. All he has to do is say send them, and by a presidential direct they're sent, sans congressional approval, from a presidential 'weapons cache'.
The first aerial view of the floating port, which will allow the United States and others to flow ,"humanitarian aid" to #Gaza via the sea route, as the United States claims. It says that the sea off the coast of #Gaza complements the role of land crossings and is not a substitute for them
They block 1000s truck fully loaded with food, sanitary material, medicine and clothes from entering Gaza but pretending that this port is going to be used for sending aid to Gaza.
The disgusting hypocrisy of US and western allies participating in this project is truly sickening.
@faab64 It's good to see how the enemy spins things. Sometimes valuable info shows up. Example. Bbc did an early report on the pier where it mentioned the 'advance team' for it... Fogbow. Check these guys out. https://www.fogbow.com/team/ Lowsec. No cloudflare etc. @palestine@israel

‘Israelis, go back to Europe’? Some on the left need to rethink their slogans
by #Jo-AnnMort
"A majority of Israel’s #Jews today are not descended from #Europe, but rather from #Arab nations. To expect them to leave #Israel is unprecedented, unrealistic and wrong."
[I don't agree with her opinion on "river to the sea", but I do agree on "go back to Europe".]
@plink That statement about most jews in Israel being Arab is nonsensical and factually baseless garbage. There have been quite a few genetic studies proving that false and you know? My brooklyn neighborhood in the 1960s was full of semitic dark skin jews who fled. The invaders didn't trust them b/c they lived peacefully with the arabs, and the arabs stopped trusting them because most saw it as a tribal issue and conflict. @palestine@israel
Issa Amro: Israeli settlers broke into a Palestine private house in south mount Hebron, they sat with the family without the family permission, they acted as if it is their house, they smoked cigarettes, they are intimidating the families to force them to leave @palestine@israel
@hfinyow Not exactly "gave them this land", and it reads the same in the Jewish bible too. They're absolutely apostates whose progenitors collaborated with the Nazis. (Lehi, Stetn Gang, Irgun, for a start)
"...then, (as in 'after ALL THOSE OTHER conditions are met like that little bit about the 'shedding of innocent blood') I will let you live in this place..."
Celebrity blockade is working, one by one they are acting like they care for Gaza! After losing millions of followers, many celebrities posting lame and desperate call for "peace" and "ceasefire".
It's amazing that less than a week after the call for boycott, we're suddenly seeing these people act like they just woke up to the ongoing catastrophe that has been going on for 7 months.
Settlers mobs south of #AlKhalil in the #WestBank set fire to the aid trucks that they stopped and damaged this afternoon, which were loaded with aid and headed to the #Gaza Strip.
No sign of Israeli police of IDF to protect the convoy or stop the terrorists settlers from destroying aid packages, mostly baby formula, diapers and medical equipment.
"...S̷e̷t̷t̷l̷e̷r̷s̷ Blackshirt mobs..." Ps. Call them what they are when they aren't busy with the thugging thingie: Armed Squatters, not settlers. @faab64@palestine@israel
That's right @plink. #Hamas is still functioning and killing JudeoNazis. The #Zionists Entity is desperate. Like a pouting spoiled child with a broken toy ... if it can't have #Gaza it will destroy it. They demolished #Rafah's civilian airport today. #WarCrimes like that mean nothing to these #Nazis. They need to be destroyed, and they will be. @palestine@israel
@plink So Israel's nazis say they'll use 'imprecise missiles', Translated from #Nazis dialect:
> "We'll kill more civilians if you don't give us weapons to kill more civilians." @palestine@israel
@Sherifazuhur The name of the game is Disruption. Not just the uberriche US Elite, ALL THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC ELITE profit from systemic disruptions, and the 'west playing a dangerous game in the middle east' is just that kind of systemic disruption they profit from.
The current "antisemitism panic" at Columbia University is manufactured hysteria weaponized to quell legitimate political speech on campus and give cover to the larger project of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and, now, of course, Gaza.
@faab64@palestine@israel No one set up tents to protest nam. They occupied buildings. Vandalized darpanet computers (Courant Institute NYU, and eleswhere). Burned and trashed Recruiting Offices in the dark of night. Blocked major city streets. That sort of Protest.💥🔥
@faab64@palestine@israel Correcting an error in the meme is not without a legitimate purpose. I have a history of that era genetically imprinted, and a pretty good idea of how it was 'defused' postfacto by the media... and much of that defusing was based on feeding the public misconceptions about what actually happened. In this case, tent protests ... was no such thing. The action was in the streets on our feets. Didn't need tents at occupied university buildings either.
12-year-old Rimas from Gaza sells homemade "ka'ak" to afford her heart disease medication amid the hard conditions resulting from the Israeli occupation's horrific war on Gaza.
