One of the Jewish groups at my university just sent a campus wide email about how all the Palestinian groups on campus support terrorism and are making Jewish students feel unsafe. This was directly in response to a statement a Palestinian group made that did, in fact, condemn Hammas, but then said blatantly anti-Semitic things like cutting off water to Gaza was bad, and bombing densely populated areas of Gaza is bad and should be stopped.

When my Lib/Reddit brained colleague went into FULL Russophobia last year, I thought I saw the high water mark of Lib overreaction IRL. But here we are.

It still fucks me up that the US participated in the genocidal murder of hundreds of thousands of Yemeni people to near complete global indifference.

On the bus (and we've got 3 full busses) and the first sign I saw someone writing in the parking lot gave me hope

The sign said "Genocide Joe"

Iron Dome interceptors are now under extreme rationing. Most rockets fired from Gaza are now hitting Tel Aviv.

Very likely they're now shitting themselves about Hezbollah and having wasted almost all of the Dome's stockpiles on Gaza's fertiliser rockets instead of on the real missiles they might be dealing with soon.

Tiananmen tank man stands in front of tank, tank drives around

"What a cruel display of authoritarianism! Literally George Foreman 1989!"

Rachel Corrie stands in front of a bulldozer and gets crushed to death

"A shining beacon of democracy in the Middle East! Uncritical support to the freedom-loving Israelis!"

The feeling in my stomach is very weird. I'm oddly calm considering that tomorrow may bring a level of death and destruction that is unprecedented. You news mega regulars know that Mr LargePenis here is Syrian-Lebanese with family in both Beirut and Damascus. Despite that, I'm not scared, don't really know why tbh. Feeling some sort of insane optimism that I have never felt when it comes to Palestine, Lebanon and the general state of the Middle East. My brain is telling me that this is irrational, but deep inside I feel like I fully trust Nasrallah, Iran and the Palestinian resistance. I just want tomorrow to come quick, my brain is all scrambled and I'm finding it hard to focus on anything.

The UK government and media rhetoric around anti-genocide and pro-Palestinian is getting more and more dangerous.

At first the protests were 'upsetting' and 'insensitive'. But they continued to grow.

Then they escalated to being inherently anti-semetic, with anything as mild as displaying a Palestinian flag being called anti-semitism, as well as hyperfixating on the phrase "from the river to the sea". Police have begun harassing people flying Palestinian flags in public, in their own homes, and 'detaining' people with clothing featuring it at public events.

The Home Secretary wrote to police forces saying "I would encourage police to consider whether chants such as: ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ should be understood as an expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world. Behaviours that are legitimate in some circumstances, for example the waving of a Palestinian flag, may not be legitimate such as when intended to glorify acts of terrorism.”

The needle on the 76% of people who support an immediate ceasefire didn't move, so the state and media escalated again.

Then the allegations became that they were inherently pro-Hamas, with numerous journalists and political guests stating without a shred of evidence that Hamas was present in the protests and were "handing out Hamas leaflets". This tactic isn't just a smear for publicity, because Hamas is a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK it's an attempt to create a framework to apply terror charges to peaceful protesters. Numerous labour politicians have openly called for all Palestinian solidarity protests to be banned outright.

Still, it hasn't swayed opinion and the protests have continued and are growing.

So now the new framing is that the protests and protesters are being controlled by Iran. Half a million people at the London protest alone, apparently being directed by Iran. This isn't just cranks on the extreme right channels like GBNews, this has been the framing from Sky News and the BBC this morning. This has been coming from people affiliated with the government, who are today holding an emergency COBRA meeting to discuss 'the rising threat of terrorism' associated with the reaction to the state's support of genocide.

The head of the Metropolitan Police, Mark Rowley went on television and said “When you’ve got state threats from Iran, you’ve got terrorism being accelerated by the events and hate crime in communities. For Jewish communities, it’s now about a 14-fold increase in antisemitism in London, and for Muslim communities it’s nearly threefold. So this is really precarious. In the middle of it, we’ve got these big protests.” Both the BBC and Sky News matched government and police accusations of Iranian control and terror concerns with images of the peaceful marches.

The police have announced that 5 people have been charged with offences during this weekend's marches. 5 out of what some are saying was 500,000 in London. And they haven't released what those offences were apart from "assaulting a police officer" which is the go to bullshit charge for anyone suffering police aggression and "carrying an illegal placard" which is worth remembering that police also arrested people for holding up blank placards to protest the King's coronation.

Obviously this is incredibly dangerous, but it's also disgustingly Islamophobic, just as it would be to state that all British Jews are secretly controlled by Israel, while completely erasing the numerous Jewish peace activists and groups at the centre of these protests. And of course, it's going completely unchallenged.

The good news is that it doesn't seem to be working. The bad news is that they're getting ever more desperate and so a much worse crackdown seems inevitable.

A Palestinian Fedayee (fighter) from Al Qassam runs up to an occupation tank and puts a grenade onto it (to blow the reactive armor) before running back into the bush to pick up his RPG and destroying the tank. He then descends into a tunnel to fight another day. One of the most incredible videos I have seen.

This is a far cry from the rocks and stones of the first and second intifadas!

Saying “I support Palestinians but I don’t support Hamas” is the new “I’m socially liberal but fiscally conservative”

Listening to the Citations Needed livestream from last night, I really like how Adam compared libs who think Biden is actually pressuring Israel and trying to do right for the Palestinians behind the scenes to QAnon people who think Trump was hanging out with Epstein et al to actually try and uncover and expose their trafficking rings. Just as deranged thinking, 100%

Me, the week after October 7th: Yes, Hamas is terrible and there is no justifying the attack, but Israel is a terrorist state and their uncritical endorsement by the West is criminal to say the least

Me, nearly a month later, completely jokerfied: Inshallah our brave Hamas fighters will bring an end to Israel in righteous jihad

Chuds are calling the pro-Palestine protest outside the White House an "insurrection".

New cuck n chad ranking. RUS vs UKR still gets the first row as I'm a man that respects traditions. The last row is a new addition, mostly covering non-world leaders who have been chads or cucks this week.

When Russian troops crossed the Ukrainian border on the 24th of February 2022, I was pretty unsure on what position to adopt regarding that war. As the annoying politics guy in the lives of the people I love, I had to adopt an official stance. I spent the first week of the war just confused, then I leaned towards the pro-Russian side because of vibes and contrarianism, then solidified my pro-Russian stance after realising the effects of that conflict for American hegemony across the planet.

Now 600+ days later, I've never been so confident about the legitimacy of an ideological decision. The way the Ukraine-Israel-USA axis has coalesced around being the most delusional, evil and cringe axis in history has really solidified my hate for these weirdos. Hating the illegitimate zionist entity has been the only consistent position in my life, and seeing the Ukraine freaks align themselves with the entity has made my hater life easier. I remind you all of what Chinese social media people said, supporting Russia and Palestine makes you a real geopolitics understander.

Burkina Faso nationalizes sugar industry: https://nitter.cz/african_stream/status/1720111447131230350

Burkina Faso appears to be having a relatively great year! For even more good news from this Sahelian state in west Africa, President Ibrahim Traoré's administration has announced it will be nationalising the sugar sector. The SN SOSUCO sugar company, which was once state-owned, was privatised during the term of the counterrevolutionary president, Blaise Compaoré (1987-2014). Now, Burkina Faso's largest employer will be back in the hands of the people, providing even more jobs and benefiting the local economy.

And here we go...

UK Home Secretary has said that all pro-peace/Palestine marches are "hate marches", straight up lying that they all call for "wiping Israel off the map" and is looking at changing the already insanely draconian, dubious, and misinterpretable laws to specifically go after anyone participating or criticsing Israel (and her government by extension).

Clip from SkyNews here.

sir, we strictly followed your orders for the implementation of a tactical incursion as part of the strategic plan to neutralize Gaza and the subterranean nexus within, and in the process, an incident code-named delta bravo charlie two-niner occurred in which a series of islamic-style teenagers launched some anti-tank munitions towards our position. a kinetic event then occurred in my military-grade underwear involving the tactical release of a semi-solid substance. investigations into who committed this act are ongoing with haste; initial findings indicate that the terrorist organization known as Hamas was responsible.
