We had the Six Day War in 1967, we had the Nineteen Day War (Yom Kippur) in 1973, and now we've had the Twelve Day War. I wonder how many more very short wars will plague the region until Palestine is freed?

However, moving on from Western Asia from a little while, we have some interesting news from Chile - the former labor minister and communist, Jeannette Jara, has won the primary election for the left-wing bloc in a landslide (~60% of the vote), as the current President, Gabriel Boric, is term-limited. Her achievements include a minimum wage increase and a reduction of the work week to 40 hours.

In November, Jara will face down the contenders from other parties, including José Antonio Kast, who is analogous to Brazil's Bolsonaro. Unfortunately, Jara is now the lead figure of a party that has been taking quite a few Ls under Boric's leadership. Ostensibly a Democratic Socialist, he ruled as - you guessed it - a neoliberal, bending the knee to the US and EU. He not only failed to overthrow the Pinochet-era constitution, he actually allowed the right-wing to turn the proposed new constitution into something worse, and had to settle for campaigning against the new one and keeping the old one. And he had very little solidarity with other left-leaning leaders on the continent, like Maduro, Lula, Petro, or Castillo.

With this in mind, I cannot help but look at Argentina's very recent history and feel a little dread - but if anybody can save Chile at this point, it can only be a communist.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Jeffrey lewis on impact of Israeli/American strikes on the Iranian nuclear program

https://archive.is/ADVrJ

Lewis is a professor and runs the aptly named arms control wonk podcast. He's fully in the western camp but seems to give less of a shit about civility towards western narratives than the gadgetry of arms and arms control.

This article is not so much about the impact of the strikes and BDA, but rather likelihood of Iran moving gear out of fordow, their potential next steps and the damage to NPT. Nothing truly new to newsheads but I think Lewis' perspective is worth listening to.

Cuba does not give up: Díaz-Canel thanks Brazilian solidarity - Prensa Latina

Article

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Jul 6 (Prensa Latina) Cuba will not surrender, President Miguel Díaz-Canel assured today during an emotional meeting here with the solidarity movement with the island in Brazil, in the context of the XVII Brics Summit.

In a crowded room of a Rio de Janeiro hotel and visibly moved, Díaz-Canel began his remarks with a sincere thank you.

"We want to begin by deeply thanking you for all the solidarity you have given us. The campaigns, the donations, the accompaniment, the altruistic gesture", he said, recognizing the multiple actions of support of the Brazilian people in the face of the difficulties in his country.

Then he paused and, with a firm voice, expressed: "And now we are going to talk a little about Cuba and the conditions in which we are living, but also about the lights to overcome the problems. Because what you can be sure of, you, who are friends of the real society, is that Cuba is not going to surrender", he stressed.

The Cuban leader once again denounced the U.S. blockade, its extraterritorial nature and its intensification under the last administrations. “More than 80 percent of our population has lived all its life under this siege,” he recalled.

He also explained with political courage the causes of the collapse of the electro-energy system, with serious effects on the daily life of Cubans and economic development.

“We are hurt by the suffering of our people, but we also have the conviction that we are going to move forward,” he said.

At that point, he stressed that solidarity not only comforts, but also commits. "We cannot give up because of convictions, and we cannot give up because it would be disrespectful to you. The solidarity that you give us also commits us a lot," he stressed.

Later, in another meeting with Brazilian intellectuals, Díaz-Canel addressed cultural and political issues, and denounced the effects of cultural colonization.

He criticized the entertainment platforms that impose distorted views of reality on social networks. He called to face this offensive with unity in diversity.

He also announced an upcoming meeting with political communicators and mentioned the Colloquium Patria, as a space to think and articulate new forms of emancipating communication.

Looking to the future, he announced that next year the centenary of the birth of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, will be commemorated with a program of activities focused on the validity of his thought.

He reiterated the concept of “creative resistance”, which, he said, is based on pillars such as popular participation and national unity. “Our people will not be defeated,” he insisted.

Thus, with firmness and closeness, Díaz-Canel closed both meetings marked by emotion, commitment and the conviction that, although besieged, Cuba does not surrender.

Brazilian Hugo Calderano, professional table tennis player, was barred from the Grand Smash in Las Vegas. He traveled to Cuba in 2023 to compete in the Pan-American Games, which, according to US rules, makes him ineligible to enter with a visa waiver. Even with Portuguese citizenship, he was denied an ESTA. He ran for an emergency visa and support from American organizations, but couldn't get an interview in time.

The tournament starts this Friday and Hugo is out. In the best phase of his career, World Cup champion, World Championship silver medalist and WTT gold medalist in Slovenia, the Brazilian missed out on one of the biggest competitions in table tennis.

The Chihuahua State's FM Tshanka announced that Fartreal will be opening an embassy in Tallinn, during a meeting with the reincarnation of John Vorster (aka Gideon Saar) and the conference was the typical repeating of Nazi propaganda stenographers that has polluted the internet for the past 2 years. The usual topics included a need to defend Western values, the big scary Iran and Russia, gaslighting over hostages and Estonia's ironclad support of the Final Solution a second (or third?) time. ERR - Archived PIGPOOPBALLS

Also the opening and rapid strengthening of relations between Estonia and the crusader of Nazi ideology will undoubtedly become a precursor for persecution against any dissent from mainstream western white supremacy.

Oh, the Estonian Foreign Ministry has not yet been haunted by the imagery of a log of shit rolling down between a pig's large testicles. This shall be resolved.

Death to NATO, Death to piSSrael, Death to the IDF, Death to the KKKrackerverse
