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 · 9d

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 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.

The same day Israel hacked every phone in Gaza so Netanyahu could personally threaten to murder every Palestinian there, Trump said a peace deal is close. The media is failing you when they don't point out how sociopathic this is.

Same people who can take over every Palestinian's phone also apologize every week for accidentally killing someone they shouldn't have killed because they "made a mistake". And Western head of States just open their mouth and swallow. It's disgusting.

Genuinely wonder how K-Hive types will grapple with Harris herself openly saying that being associated with her rabidly pro Israel boss and his rabidly pro Israel political impulses was a net negative.

Calling Donald Trump a communist makes perfect sense when you see Kamala Harris as trying to win the votes of Republicans and not Democrats.

another way to say this: fascism isn't about rules people follow, it's about categories people are in

if you're in the right category nothing you do is bad
if you you're in the wrong category nothing you do is good

it's not about what you do, it's about who you are
