I’m convinced Rubio and the Nobel committee are in cahoots. The committee called up Rubio and told him they wouldn’t give it to Trump but they would give it to anyone else Rubio named. And of course he landed on Machado. It makes too much sense.

The Nazi Entity doing the evil it always does when it signs a ceasefire: kill as many people as possible while they still can.

This isn’t surprising to me. Outside of Christian Zionists and Jewish supremacists “support” for Israel was always extremely shallow. The American public largely supported Israel due to some vague understanding that they were our “ally”, and most had absolutely no idea of the Palestinian struggle at all. The ongoing genocide has been so evil that all these people with very unexamined, light support for Israel have been like “wait wtf”, and have switched positions as they have learned a bit more about the situation.

I suspect Israeli military censors are gonna come down hard on any videos showing anything interesting. Just because we’re not seeing Israel getting its shit rocked doesn’t mean it ain’t happening.

By my reckoning, this means Trump plans to impose 20% + 10% + 34% + 50% = 114% tariffs on China. Jfc…

All the worst people in the world are very, VERY mad about the ICC warrants, thus the warrants are incredibly based and cool.

🟢 Hamas (1/2): — In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Announcement of the Martyrdom of the Mujahid Leader and Great National Symbol Yahya Al-Sinwar "Abu Ibrahim," Commander of Al-Aqsa Flood Battle

"Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their vow, and some are still waiting, and they have not changed in the least."

With all the pride, dignity, and honor, the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, mourns to our Palestinian people, to our entire nation, and to the free people of the world, one of the noblest and bravest men, a man who dedicated his life for Palestine and gave his soul for the sake of Allah on the path to its liberation. He was true to Allah, and Allah was true to him, choosing him as a martyr alongside his fellow martyrs:

We mourn the great national leader, the Mujahid Martyr Brother Yahya Al-Sinwar (Abu Ibrahim), Head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Commander of Al-Aqsa Flood Battle

He rose as a heroic martyr, advancing and never retreating, wielding his weapon, engaging and confronting the occupation army at the frontlines. He moved between all combat positions, steadfast and stationed on the honored land of Gaza, defending the land of Palestine and its holy sites, inspiring the spirit of endurance, patience, steadfastness, and resistance.

Our great people, our Arab and Islamic nations, and the free people of the world:

The martyred leader Yahya Al-Sinwar lived as a mujahid, and from his youth, he carved his path within the ranks of Hamas, engaging in its resistance operations. During 23 years of imprisonment, he triumphed over the zionist jailer. After his release in the Wafa al-Ahrar deal, he continued his contributions, planning and fighting until his eyes witnessed, on October 7, 2023, the day of the great flood that shook the depths of the entity, exposing the fragility of its supposed security. The heroic epics of our people and the valor of our victorious resistance followed, until he attained the highest rank and the noblest medal, ascending as a witness and a martyr, content with the jihad and sacrifice he offered.

The martyr leader Yahya Al-Sinwar followed in the footsteps of great martyred leaders, including the founding martyr Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Dr. Abdelaziz Al-Rantisi, Al-Maqadmeh, Abu Shanab, Jamal Mansour, Jamal Saleem, the martyred leader Ismail Haniyeh, and his deputy Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri, along with the caravan of martyrs from all our leaders and people. We affirm that these sacrifices will continue to illuminate our path and drive us to more resilience and steadfastness. Hamas remains committed to the promise of its founding leaders and martyrs until the aspirations of our people are fully realized: the complete liberation and return, and the establishment of the Palestinian state on the entire national soil with Al-Quds as its capital, by Allah’s will. This will become a curse upon the invading occupiers who are strangers to this land.

Our great people, our Arab and Islamic nations, and the free people of the world:

The martyrdom of Brother Leader Yahya Al-Sinwar, along with all the leaders and icons of the movement who preceded him on the path of honor, martyrdom, and the project of liberation and return, will only strengthen Hamas and our resistance, making us more determined and steadfast in following their path, honoring their blood and sacrifices. A movement that offers its leaders and members as martyrs in defense of the rights of its people is a noble, genuine movement deeply rooted in its people.

🟢 Hamas (2/2): — To those lamenting the captured occupiers held by the resistance, we say: they will not return except with the cessation of aggression on Gaza, its withdrawal, and the release of our heroic prisoners from the occupation’s jails.

We continue in the path of Hamas, and the spirit of Al-Aqsa Flood will remain a living flame in the hearts of our people.

We remain faithful to your pledge, Abu Ibrahim, and your banner will never fall but will remain high and proudly raised.

Peace be upon you, Abu Ibrahim, the humble, devout, and pious man. Peace be upon you, the prisoner. Peace be upon you, the fighter. Peace be upon you, the martyr. Peace be upon you, for history will record that you wrote the first line in the war of liberation and the end of the occupation.

May Allah have mercy on you and grant you the highest place in paradise with the prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs, and the righteous, and what excellent companions they are.

And it is a jihad of victory or martyrdom

What is the appropriate response to us “celebrating” Oct 7th? Should we celebrate it? I mean, what we saw was an incredibly heroic attempt of a colonized people to break their chains. It has in some ways been a success beyond imagining. I truly believe this will be remembered as the very beginning of the end of the Zionist entity. However, the cost to people of Gaza, the West Bank, and now Lebanon is almost beyond comprehension. So what is the correct response? Sober remembrance of the fallen that day and every day since?

Last week in the news mega, I made a comment about how state department narratives get laundered through network news by having incompetent "journalists" asks terrible questions with no follow up to state dept pros. The fact these news anchors don't actually know anything is the point. The people they have on to interview just work them over and reinforce the narratives that they want Americans to fully accept. Was watching another clip today of the same news anchor team (CBS Mornings) give a somewhat hostile interview to Ta-Nehisi Coates. I was getting annoyed so I decided to look up the bios of these three news anchors. The point isn't to pick on them specifically, they are just indicative of a wider issue in one the main ways Americans get their news (I would suspect more Americans watch network news than cable news).

First of the three anchors is Gayle King. She has some professional experience as a local news reporter but what she's really famous for - and presumably why she's an anchor on CBS' morning news show - is being Oprah Winfrey's best friend. By the way, I was acquainted with a local news reporter. She was a very nice person but would make Ron Burgundy look like Walter Kronkite.

Second, we have Nate Burleson. Nate is not in any way a journalist. He is actually... a former American football player (WR for the Minnesota Vikings). I am not making that up.

Finally, we have ostensibly the most qualified "journalist" Tony Dokoupil. He was the one who was asking the hasbara questions to Ta-Nehisi ("why have the Palestinians turned down every offer for peace?" and "Does Israel have a right to defend itself?") By the way he has two kids and an ex-wife who live in Israel, no bias there. He did get a degree in "Media Studies" and wrote for Newsweek for a few years... but honestly so have a lot of people. This guy seems completely unremarkable as a journalist and he doesn't seem to have won any awards or written anything memorable other than a book about what is was like to have a father who was a drug dealer. But he's in control (to an extent) of how millions of Americans get their news.

Having incompetent journalists who don't ask hard questions is just how capitalism and imperialism reproduces itself in the minds of Americans.

Nasrallah wouldn’t want you to be a doomer.
