In Canada the only party showing any support for Palestinians is the NDP, which is sad because they're the most milquetoast socdems I've ever seen and their support is similarly weak. But when one representative goes a little bit farther and actually calls for ending the occupation of Palestine, the party leadership forces her to apologize and the government of Ontario is trying to prevent the MPP from being recognized as a sitting representative. Literally exposing how meaningless our conceptions of liberal democracy are when the people who voted for this representative are being told they can't actually vote for those ideas because it's out of step with the western party line

just saw a fucking ghoul saying on tv

Let me be clear, Israel is NOT committing war crimes and genocide

I feel like if you have to say that, than you're just confirming it

They want us to believe that Hamas has rockets that can vaporize an entire building

Breakthrough News (based) managed to interview a Hamas representative who says Israel is REJECTING ceasefire talks because the US is backing the continuation of bloodshed.

Average centrist public figure: One thousand years of blood for every Israeli killed.

Average liberal public figure: I just hope that everyone can come to their senses and stop this violence, which, to be clear, no one in particular is responsible for. Legally you can not get mad at me for saying this.

Hebrew media: An IDF tank accidentally fired a short time ago and hit an Egyptian position near the border in the Kerem Shalom area. The incident is being investigated and the details are under review.

IDF are attacking Egypt positions.

Israel really thinks it can fight a war on literally every single border it has.

EDIT: Israeli media now says this occurred "by mistake"

"I just accidentally shot at your positions on your side of the border by accident uwu."

I have intelligence from a very trustworthy source that Hamas was responsible for blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline

pleased to say everyone but the hardcore zionists in my life are firmly pro-palestine now

I found this article about the initial breach of the Gaza fence which is very interesting.

Israel apparently had about ~100 positions with remote controlled sniper rifles and HD cameras. If something moves beyond the fence, an alert is raised to operators located elsewhere who can zoom in and decide to fire or not. The system also includes 22 additional HD cameras along the fence, which are also the main eyes of the colonizers beyond the fence.

Hamas managed to simultaneously disable those 100 sniper positions by launching ~150 drones. I'm guessing this is the videos we saw soon after the initial assault, where drones were dropping payloads on what looked like high tech watchtowers. Then once the rifles were disabled, they immediately shot down the 22 cameras.

This all happened so fast that the soldiers on watch with the equipment assumed it was a technical failure, and literally called tech support and started to wait for a tech

Every western journalist reporting that this was a resistance rocket should be shot and hung upside down in the street, holy fucking shit I hate these ghouls with every cell in my body

My old high school had a pro Palestine protest/walkout and videos of it were uploaded on my city's Instagram page. The comments are horrible like people are commenting that they die, be deported (most of the people who were a part of the protest are muslims or poc) and join hamas. Fuck Canada

Why are we still talking about this

Why are we arguing about which side is The Bad Guys? Why aren't we trying to find a way to achieve peace?

Nitter

The British government is grandstanding about denouncing "China's human rights violations in Xinjiang" again. This time while actively supporting an actual genocide.

Idiots on tiktok really think America can just flip a switch and turn what manufacturing we have into tank factories. They think tiny private ship yards can some how scale and produce survey carries.

Being told to look at ww2 for before and after tank production.

Being told that it's fine that most of the electronics for our war equipment comes from Taiwan.

Fellas, what's stopping your car from looking like this:

Hezbollah, then (the previous war) and now

          2006    2023

Fighters  5,000   60,000

Missiles  14,000  150,000

And + increased skills from combat in Syria

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Friday called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, which he said amounted to genocide, and urged the international community to work for a humanitarian ceasefire in the region.

I know he is all bark and no bite, but a NATO member outright calling it genocide seems significant.

Hezbollah are using recoilless rifles vs tanks and according to reports it is working because these weapons are so fucking old that modern design is not actually considering them at all.

I find it interesting that there is no video being released demonstrating this, but much gossip about it. Seems like an advantage Hezbollah are keeping close to their chests and not releasing footage of for a reason.

164 years ago today, a man did absolutely nothing wrong

The idea that Hamas soldiers were just walking around with instructions on how to make chemical weapons is so mind numbingly stupid that I'm worried I might explode on any normies who parrot this nonsense IRL.

Al-Aqsa Flood Plan according to Israel:

Step 1: Behead all babies in immediate vicinity

Step 2: Conduct science experiment to create Sarin using common household cleaning supplies

Step 3: Sabotage our rocket battery and fire them at our hospitals

Biden practically got kicked out of Jordan before he even lands

From Aljazeera

A White House official says: “After consulting with King Abdullah II of Jordan and in light of the days of mourning announced by President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority, President Biden will postpone his travel to Jordan and the planned meeting with these two leaders and President Sisi of Egypt. “He looks forward to consulting in person with these leaders soon and agreed to remain regularly and directly engaged with each of them over the coming days,” the official added. Ayman Safadi, Jordan’s foreign minister, has told Al Jazeera that it was “in everybody’s interests” to postpone the planned summit in Jordan with Biden on Wednesday. “People would expect that a summit of this nature would be able to respond to their demands to stop this war,” Safadi said of the talks. Knowing that we could not do that, it was better and it was the right call not to hold it tomorrow and to continue with consultation with a view to getting as soon as possible to a stage where this war ends and the catastrophe it’s causing the Palestinian people in Gaza stop[s].”

Ukraine was ready to sign a peace agreement with Russia but the US Govt did not allow it. Confirmed by Gerhard Schroeder, former leader of Germany.

I’m working my way through Rashid Khalidi’s history of Palestinians in the 20th century. It’s a great read, I definitely recommend it (and so does Hakim, who I got the rec from). Don’t let what I’m about to say discourage you from reading it.

However, I caught one whiff of the author’s kinda lib brainworms. He talks about Arafat and the PLO, and suggests that while Arafat did a great job of rallying the global south to the cause of the Palestinians, he should have done more to try and speak to Americans and convince them.

This is just pure ideology. It doesn’t matter if Americans want to help the Palestinians. Hell, polls are showing that Americans aren’t really all that sympathetic to Israel anyway. But it doesn’t matter what Americans want, we’re gonna give the Israelis tens of billions in weapons and just as importantly, signs off on their plans for genocide. 95% of Americans could support the Palestinians and it wouldn’t matter. Trying to convince Americans to support a free Palestine is pointless since we don’t live in a democracy.

I should point out that Khalidi is a Palestinian- American, kinda bougie, and mentions that he personally told Arafat all this and Arafat was kinda dismissive. So he’s not really an independent observer in this anyway.

I just had to end a phone call with my dear old father. His sick lead-poisoned brain believes that the zionist entity is justified in everything it does because Hamas decapitated these babies, because the zionist entity is "western" (ie. ) and because Hamas is actually carrying out a second Holocaust.

The man has two PhD's and speaks six languages yet he is the most maliciously idiotic person I have ever met.

The word “terrorism” truly means fucking nothing

If no one in the west calls the most powerful nation on earth that is funding and fully-backing a country committing genocide “terrorists” then words truly have no meaning

I'm incredibly distraught and seething about the Palestine situation. I'm mad that there is nothing I can do. I went to my local pro Palestine rally in a midsized US city, we yell around then everyone just dispersed and went home. I've donated to UNRWA, but with the aid blockade I'm sure my donation is stuck somewhere. I feel like I'm just gonna go to work and start swinging at my lib coworkers for not caring enough

Apparently a synagogue was destroyed by rioters last night in Tunisia. This conflict is also amplifying antisemitic violence. Just horrible all around.

Hebron

They just killed them. Children, women, the elderly, nurses, doctors. They just killed them.

Checking in on Hasan's stream and I guess they're looking at unedited footage of like 10 minutes of sustained bombing around the hospital. I mean I know it's obvious the IDF did it, more evidence I guess though.

The US has perpetrated a global, protracted Barbarossa for nearly a century. Infants in Vietnam and Iraq and Palestine die in bombing raids so white people can have planes drop pink confetti over their gender reveal parties. Operation Al-Aqsa Flood revealed this distinction and began the process of chipping away at this vile world order we've been permitted to propagate.

"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." Pro-Palestine students at Balboa High School in San Francisco chant for Palestine.

The kids are alright

Well, this is fucking ominous.

IDF flyers warn Palestinians in Gaza to evacuate south or possibly be considered “a partner for the terrorist organization”

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has dropped flyers in the Sabrah neighborhood of Gaza City that urgently warn residents to evacuate to the south or face the possibility of being considered "a partner for the terrorist organization,” according to a CNN translation.

The flyer reads in Arabic:

Urgent warning!

To the residents of Gaza Strip

Your presence north of Wadi Gaza puts your life in danger

Everyone who choses not to evacuate from the north of the strip to the south of Wadi Gaza might be considered as a partner for the terrorist organization.

Israel Defense Forces

The IDF confirmed it had dropped the flyers in a statement, adding there was "no intention to consider those who have not evacuated from the affected area of fighting as a member of the terrorist group."

The IDF "treats civilians as such, and does not target them," the statement said.

The IDF told CNN that the translation of the flyer from Arabic that “has spread online” was imprecise, but it did not elaborate.

The United Nations has said that the Israeli order to evacuate the entire population of northern Gaza, which is approximately 1.1 million people, is "impossible" without causing major humanitarian consequences.

There are currently 2.2 million people in Gaza.

The IDF said they continue to urge residents in northern Gaza to evacuate “for their own safety.”

Hello, Gazans. Flee south or risk death. But - tbh - we're shelling the south too. Pick your poison! Best wishes, IDF.
