Estimates of over 100k Israelis marching now in Tel Aviv, police estimate nearly 250k passed through hostage square. Israeli government officials called the protest “Hamas support riots”

Is this a protest against the genocide?

BREAKING: 🇧🇴 Neoliberal candidate Rodrigo Paz has come 1st in Bolivia's presidential elections. Without Evo Morales, the left has collapsed. The MAS party expelled him and now has just 3.2%. After 20 years of hegemony, the left has lost power. How did it all go so wrong?

Evo Morales’ MAS won every election from 2005–2020 with huge majorities, thanks to nationalizing resources, redistributing wealth, and turning Bolivia from the poorest to the fastest-growing economy in the region.

The party was led by indigenous movements, allied with unions and the progressive middle class. That coalition shattered after 2020 when President Luis Arce empowered the middle-class faction and banned Evo from running again.

The split wasn’t ideological at first, but about access to state jobs and contracts. Evo’s faction was excluded, while Arce’s supporters feared losing their new privileges if Evo returned to power.

The dispute exploded over who would be the presidential candidate. Arce stacked the courts, which granted his faction legal control of MAS, shutting Evo out.

This split cost Arce his majority in Congress, leaving him unable to pass economic policies. This led to crisis & inflation. The economic collapse drove voters away from MAS. Rural indigenous communities largely stayed with Evo, while the urban middle class shifted to the right.

Driving the war against Evo was Interior Minister Eduardo del Castillo, now MAS’s presidential candidate. His personal ambitions destroyed the party, now polling at barely 3%.

Due to their candidate being banned, Evo's mostly indigenous supporters decided to boycott the elections. They have today shown that they're still the largest section of the left (and that banning Evo was a disaster).

This defeat wasn’t inevitable. It’s the result of the left tearing itself apart over who reaps the rewards of the state - a fate that can face any movement once in govt. Arce's use of the state (police & courts) to settle the dispute through persection was the nail in the coffin.

Is all hope lost? Of course not. Evo's soiled ballots are set to win more support than any candidate. Something new will grow out of that movement. In fact, I predict that the new neoliberal govt will be toppled before its term ends, pro-US elites never survive long in Bolivia.

Iran would probably have like 2000+ nukes by now if it wasn't for traitors within their political class like these:

Zarif has revealed his plan in an article in FP. The main point of his argument which he hides under the expansion of ties with neighbors and regional partnership is: “renewed dialogue with the U.S. and EU”.

Zarif isn’t alone in propagating necessity for a new shift: President Hassan Rouhani in a video, uses another term: “a change in strategy” and as if he doesn’t want to show his hand, he says this change must come “through a national strategy based on the will of people”.

Next thread here, a few hours early to keep the firstposters on their toes.

Been hearing a bit about Tamil genocide and Redditors who claim to be from the global south saying every AES country supports it with only anarchists doing anything worthwhile.

I can usually tell it’s some astroturfed bullshit when anarchists from the global south claim to be the only leftists doing anything for indigenous people.

Still, do any newsheads know much about the topic? I really don’t know much about South Asia.

Hillary was just on some podcast, praising Trump's foreign policy and his "approach to NATO". Very cool.

Bolivia's presidential elections are today. Since 2005, the socialist MAS party has won every single vote with huge majorities. Now they’re set for a massive defeat due to internal splits, currently polling at just 1.5%.

We’ll need to wait for the results for a full analysis, but for 4 years there’s been a rift between Evo Morales and the middle-class faction that took power in 2020, over who controls the party. Evo lost the internal struggle. Luis Arce’s faction used state power to seize control of MAS, but they’re now heading toward a devastating defeat as Evo calls for a boycott of the elections.

This division has opened the door for the neoliberal right, who will hand Bolivia’s natural resources over to US interests. The consequences could not be more dire.

The current MAS candidate, Eduardo del Castillo, was the one who led the factional war against Evo Morales and pushed for him to be banned from standing. As the poll above shows, it’s only a pyrrhic victory for him, the MAS is over without Evo.

Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people and their dear Mujahideen, and in response to the crimes of genocide and starvation perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against our people in the Gaza Strip and in retaliation to the Israeli aggression against our country.

The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod Airport in the occupied Yaffa region using a hypersonic ballistic missile, "Palestine 2."

The operation has successfully achieved its objective, and caused millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters, suspending airport operations.

What has been happening in Gaza for nearly two years is a clear confirmation of the enemy's disregard for the blood of our people in Palestine and its disregard for the blood of Arabs and Muslims.

The unprecedented crime of genocide has not stopped, and the siege and starvation continue in full view of the entire world. How long will the nation, with its peoples and countries, continue to remain silent and in such a state of abandonment?

Has the blood of children and women in Gaza become insignificant to everyone? How long will this crime, this injustice, and this aggression continue?

We will persist to fulfill our religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward the oppressed Palestinian people until the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.
