"My wedding on earth is the day of my martyrdom."

Yesterday's martyrdom operation in "Tel Aviv" came on the eve of the anniversary of the martyrdom operation of Raed Misk, who, on this day in 2003, killed 23 zionists and wounded 135 others in a bus in occupied Al-Quds.

Raed's operation shook the zionist entity, coming as part of vengeance for the martyred leader Abdulallah Qawasmeh. At 9:00 PM on that Tuesday, he set forth to the western part of Al-Quds for the first time in his life, boarded an "israeli" bus disguised as a settler, and executed his decision.

Born in Al-Khalil, he was raised in the city's mosques, having memorized the Quran at 15 years old. At that age, he was abducted by the occupation and imprisoned, during which his mother passed away. He married, had three children, and worked as a teacher. One day, while he was still a student, a teacher he admired asked him about his aspirations. Raed humbly replied, "To become like you, teacher." Years later, he told Raed, "God has granted you your wish and more."

Despite his role in the Al-Qassam Brigades, his family didn't know anything at all of his resistance activity. His conversations were focused on family and Quran (often quoting it in coversation), not politics, according to his wife Umm Mu'min. Deeply committed to his family, he was also known for relieving the hardships of others, often staying up until a person's need was fulfilled. According to his family, "his hand was always on his forehead due to the number of people he greeted" while walking down the street.

The first person to tell Umm Mu'min of her husband's martyrdom was her son, Mu'min. Ater returning from her brother-in-law's house, Mu'min said he had seen his father's picture on television, holding a rifle in his left hand and the Quran in his right, emulating the saying "This is how Ayyash taught us; to hold a rifle with a Quran." Mu'min said, "Mom, Dad went to Nablus, and from there, he ascended to Heaven."

Umm Mu'min described their last moments together, explaining that Raed had insisted on taking her and the children to his sister's house for a meal. He insisted that they stay the night; Raed's sister noticed that he spent the entire night praying, reading the Quran, and checking the windows and doors. It seemed as though he didn't sleep for a moment.

He told his sister he was going to Nablus to work on his master's thesis. "I might not see you again; I might be arrested or martyred." The day before his martyrdom, he distributed Quranic tapes to his family and friends, which he encourages them to listen to in his will.

At the decisive moment at 9:00 PM, Raed disguised himself as a settler, boarding Bus #12 that had just come back from the Western Wall. A 5 kilogram bomb was detonated, killing over 20 zionists and wounding about 150. Raed ascended as a martyr.

All who knew Raed rejoiced, but were affected by the loss of a great man, consoling themselves with the believe that Raed was under Allah's provision.

Afterwards, the zionist security apparatus was stunned by their failure to identify Raed, or even respond to the operation. Dozens asssociated with Raed were abducted, his home was demolished, and three mosques in which Raed taught were shut down. The zionists didn't realize that resistance does not stop at the martyrdom of an individual.

Today, the return of operations like Raed's marks a new phase in the struggle, shaking zionist foundations once more.

Below, excerpts from Raed's will are published.

Glory to the martyrs.

It looks like all the (not many to begin with) stories about the Netanyahu guy who was arrested for child sex crimes in Nevada are being extremely shadowbanned on Reddit. Not just on specific subreddits, but posting the story anywhere gets you zero engagement. We often see the US media report on stuff that happens, but they lie about it. It looks like some censorship order went out and there is a complete ban on any reporting at all.

🚨 Government Media Office in Gaza: — Increase in the number of martyred journalists to 239 after the announcement of the martyrdom of journalist Islam Al-Koumi

The number of martyred journalists has risen to (239 martyred journalists) since the beginning of the genocide war on the Gaza Strip, following the announcement of the martyrdom of colleague journalist:

Martyred Journalist/ Islam Al-Koumi who works as a journalist editor and content creator with several media platforms.

The Government Media Office condemns in the strongest terms the systematic targeting, killing, and assassination of Palestinian journalists by the "israeli" occupation. We call on the International Federation of Journalists, the Federation of Arab Journalists, and all journalistic bodies in all countries of the world to condemn these systematic crimes against Palestinian journalists and media professionals in the Gaza Strip.

We hold the "israeli" occupation, the American administration, and the countries participating in the crime of genocide, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, fully responsible for committing these heinous and brutal crimes.

We demand that the international community, international organizations, and organizations related to journalistic and media work in all countries of the world condemn the occupation's crimes, deter it, and prosecute it in international courts for its continuous crimes, bringing the occupation's criminals to justice. We also demand that they exert serious and effective pressure to stop the crime of genocide, protect journalists and media professionals in the Gaza Strip, and stop their killing and assassination.

We ask Almighty God for mercy, acceptance, and paradise for all martyred journalist colleagues, and patience and solace for their families and the Palestinian journalistic community. We also wish a speedy recovery for all injured journalists.

I've never seen a clearer picture depicting the vassal relationship

🟢 Hamas: — In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

On World Humanitarian Day:

We call for exerting maximum pressure on the occupation to open the crossings and stop the crime of genocide and starvation against more than two million Palestinians, and to compel it to allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

World Humanitarian Day, commemorated by the United Nations and countries worldwide on August 19th of each year, arrives amidst the ongoing war of genocide and starvation that the zionist occupation continues to escalate against more than two million Palestinians for over 22 months; during which more than 61,000 martyrs have fallen, most of them children and women, while approximately 40,000 children have become orphans, and 23,000 women have become widows. The number of victims of famine and malnutrition has also risen to 235 martyrs, including 106 children.

Amidst the disregard of war criminal Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court, and his zionazi government for UN resolutions and international community calls to halt their aggression and criminality against unarmed civilians, and their insistence on preventing the entry of medicines and medical supplies with the aim of destroying the health sector in Gaza, we, the Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas, on World Humanitarian Day, affirm the following:

First: It is no longer acceptable for states, governments, and organizations to merely issue statements of condemnation and denunciation in the face of the zionist occupation's criminality, which violates all values, norms, and laws; rather, what is required is to activate efforts to stop the aggression and genocide, prosecute the occupation leaders, especially the criminal Netanyahu, bring them to international justice, and isolate this entity that threatens international peace and security.

Second: The American administration bears direct responsibility for the repercussions of preventing aid entry and the continuation of the policy of starvation, killing, and humiliation through the "inhumane Gaza institution" imposed by the occupation government with American cover.

Third: The international community's celebration of this World Day places it, states, governments, and organizations, before a political, legal, ethical, and humanitarian responsibility to compel the fascist occupation government to immediately stop its aggression and crimes of genocide and starvation, and to force it to allow humanitarian aid into the entire Gaza Strip.

Fourth: We commend the efforts of the humanitarian and relief teams from our people and their institutions in the Gaza Strip, who provide their services despite the bombing, killing, and destruction, and we strongly condemn the systematic crimes committed by the fascist occupation government against them, in desperate attempts to prevent them from performing their humanitarian duty.

Fifth: We call upon the United Nations and its various institutions, and Arab, Islamic, and international organizations working in humanitarian and relief fields, to intensify their work and programs in the Gaza Strip, raise their voice against the zionist prevention, restriction, and targeting, and reject all attempts by the occupation to circumvent international relief protocols through criminal mechanisms designed to kill and abuse our people.

Israhell government official who was arrested for csa was released and returned to apartheid

Am I wrong in thinking that the recent pushes by the UK and the EU to censor the internet and compromise encryption is entirely because of the Ukraine war and Israel?

I think Europe realized that, in order to arm up and make their population willing to sacrifice themselves for the state (and for Israel), they need to establish absolute control over what people are discussing online. Essentially establishing the "totalitarian" system they keep projecting onto their geopolitical enemies.

Palestinian prisoner and Hamas leader Hassan Salameh reveals shocking details of systematic abuse by zionist prison forces.

Salameh was severely beaten upon arrival at 'Ganot' prison, sustaining a head injury that bled for over two hours without medical attention. He reported that other isolated prisoners also suffered similar brutal assaults, particularly to the head.

Salameh, who participated in the First Intifada and became a leader in Hamas' military wing, was arrested in 1996 and sentenced to 48 life terms. "Israel" has consistently refused his release in prisoner exchange deals.

This new testimony comes amidst ongoing reports of repression, starvation, humiliation, and medical neglect in zionist prisons, with almost 11,000 prisons in zionist jails today.

"The Argument" is a new well funded liberal media thing. Of course, they are fighting against the very equal evils of both right-wing and left-wing groups!! They somehow managed to get one token left-ish guy onboard, Matt Bruenig - I hope he plans to just troll, if that is the case he won't be there long.

Anyway, as people have already pointed out in the comments, the only example of the horrible "post liberal left" policies that they cite is....... the famous post liberal leftist Joe Biden implementing tariffs on Chinese EVs!
