If they do then that's also wrong because the only nations that matter are Iran and Yemen. Egypt, Qatar, Saudi, and don't matter because they work with Israel so closely anyway.

One talking point I'm seeing a lot of is that Hamas is now fully isolated.

1. Yeah, that's how a concentration camp works. They've been isolated for years.
2. If Hamas were defeated, they would use stronger words than isolated.

The question "Do you condemn Hamas?" is now an admission that Israel failed to win on the battlefield. Please remind Zionists of this every time they ask that stupid question.

To be fair, though, they're correct when they say there are terrorists in that settlement.

Gonna be even better when he declares next week the genocide is back on because he didn't win the Nobel.

The @hindrajabfoundation.be welcomes the ceasefire in Gaza as a hopeful pause to the killing. Yet, genocide continues under blockade, starvation, and destruction. Mobilization must continue, justice is the only path to peace.

There was a ceasefire in November 2023, another in January 2025, and one declared but never implemented in any way in July 2025. I will save my excitement for implementation. However, that Israel feels compelled to negotiate at all means the resistance won.

No one gives a shit about Oct 7 outside of Zionists, racists & political clout chasers. Shit happens when you’re a settler colonial society committing perpetual violence. Stop committing genocide, ethnic cleansing & land theft, & maybe occupied people will stop reacting to it

He's even a liar when he admits to killing civilians. "I think" says the man who was the Defense Minister at the time.

The destruction of what's left of Al Azhar University in Gaza proves the Israelis will not respect the ceasefire. They are spending money on that for a reason and it's not to respect the rebuilding of Gaza.

On Bluesky, he says to end the genocide. On Twitter, he said the genocide is being committed by Hamas.

Israel's official response says they will work "in accordance with the principles laid out by Israel, which correspond with Trump’s vision." No mention of an agreement with Hamas or an end to bombing Gaza.

Putting the Trump announcement into perspective: Today, Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said Netanyahu should agree to a ceasefire, get the hostages back, then continue the genocide.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

Pete Buttigieg's analysis of Gaza sounds exactly like the undergrads I used to teach who would read a book just to say they read it rather than actually engaging with the content.

Worth the read! Love the focus on how the assassination attempt in Qatar gave the Israelis hope that they could force a surrender agreement on Hamas, assuming they couldn't meet to discuss it properly, and how the resistance isn't falling for it.

Israeli media has been saying another war with Iran is coming soon and the US seems to want war with Venezuela. So who knows!

Ghassan @ghassandwich.bsky.social · 12d

The "peace" proposal is idiotic but in it the White House admits to Israel starving Gaza by saying "full aid" will enter after the agreement is in place. Israel has tried to keep up the lie that full aid was already entering.

Trump administration releases the full 21-point Gaza plan which redraws the Strip and sidelines Palestinians.

Trump forced Netanyahu to apologize to Qatar and pay the family of the Qatari he killed. Netanyahu would only allow himself to be humiliated this badly if he were given something huge in return. I imagine Israel will be allowed by the US to escalate somewhere, possibly bombing Iran.
