A reporter's tweet...

Asked FETTERMAN what is his message specifically for people under bombardment in Gaza.

"I'm not really sure, specifically," he said, adding: "I grieve the loss of lives of Gazans or any innocent civilians [but] Israel does not specifically target civilians."

If people wear poppies to commemorate dead Brits then what flower should I wear to convey that I want more British soldiers to die?

Decolonization in action: An Israeli family who survived the Hamas attack on October 7 are leaving Israel for good for the US, without a return ticket

Shoot and cry bullshit about soldiers firing artillery day after day in Syria and getting fucked up from all the explosive blasts next to them

Instead, in case after case, the military treated the crews’ combat injuries as routine psychiatric disorders, if they treated them at all. Troops were told they had attention deficit disorder or depression. Many were given potent psychotropic drugs that made it hard to function and failed to provide much relief.

“I gave the Marine Corps everything,” he said. “And they spit me out with nothing. Damaged, damaged, very damaged.”

Damn dude, you mean the imperialist war machine doesn't value human life? You thought you were on the team hey? Sucks to be wrong. Eat shit.

‘Hamas is more Vietcong than Isis.’

Faced with Israel’s technological and military superiority, Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigade, has turned Gaza into a haven for guerrilla war.

Today's rally was huge and hugely encouraging, so naturally I had to ruin any positivity I may have felt by reading comments in the local newspaper.

Palestinian Authority says half of homes in Gaza destroyed

The health ministry of the Palestinian Authority, which is based in the West Bank, has put out new figures on the impact of the the war in Gaza. It says:

• More than 50% of Gaza's housing units have been destroyed

• Nearly 70% of its population are displaced

• 16 out of 35 hospitals that can take in-patients have stopped functioning

• 42 UNRWA buildings have been damaged

• At least seven churches and 55 mosques are damaged

• As we reported earlier, Israel accuses Hamas of locating infrastructure in tunnels underneath civilian areas.

Israel says it has struck more than 11,000 "targets belonging to terrorist organisations" in Gaza and dropped more than 10,000 munitions on Gaza City alone since 7 October, when it began its campaign in retaliation for Hamas's deadly attacks.

It's a steady stream of horrible news about Gaza. And the following comment is an unoriginal thought on my part but I can't believe that "Everything bad or awful in Gaza is directly due to Hamas" is an actual argument.

please help, my bird keeps saying "zionism must be destroyed" ????

Nazi who becomes anti-Holocaust because libs keep saying that opposing genocide is antisemitic

Hussein Mortada: The "rescued" soldier was not captured on Oct 7, but was lost several days ago during an attempted ground incursion, separated from her unit under intense ATGM fire. She was later found, & the occupation took advantage of the incident to claim a false "rescue"

Too bad the baby-killer didn't stay lost, I hope she shit her pants hiding out in those fields

Feels like the media and western governments are really honing in on the “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” chant over the last few days. In their view, that constitutes promoting the destruction of Israel and is thus terrorism and (ironically) promoting genocide.

I mean, yeah, we do want the destruction of the Israeli state. Settler colonial states don’t have a “right” to exist (USA, Canada, Australia et al included). The problem is, since most people are so woefully ignorant of the history of Palestine, they don’t understand that the destruction of Israel does not mean, like, killing everyone there. It means the destruction of the racist and apartheid system. Palestine will only be free when there is one binational secular state where the rights of all are protected, and the Palestinians who were forced out are allowed to return. So while I (and do think we, too) do not believe anyone currently in Israel proper should be forced out much less killed, the current fascist theocratic ethnostate of Israel must be eliminated.

IRL, I’ve tried to explain the “from the river to the sea” chant by comparing it to South Africa. It was only just that the apartheid system be smashed. South Africa under apartheid was effectively like Israel/Palestine now: bantustans were essentially occupied territory and had no real autonomy but Africans were also not allowed to have any real say in the overall system. When that system was dismantled, South Africa was no longer a racist white supremacist state that legally constrained the rights of the majority of the population. Obviously the work was not complete as there is still significant economic and political disparity, but South Africa was transformed from a racist white supremacist state that occupied and held down the black majority to a multinational state where there is ostensibly equal rights for all. And at no point (to my knowledge) was there any serious consideration to shipping off the white population back to the UK and Holland, much less serious advocacy for genociding them.

I think people have a much easier time wrapping their heads around the situation in South Africa. Just sucks that people are so ignorant that you have to go into such detail to explain it. Not that western governments care, this crackdown on speech is genuinely getting scary.

feeling really jokerfied lately. like starting to get legit worried I'm going to burst out laughing at an inappropriate moment

Always projection: Settlers get skin cancer too much because their skin is mostly adapted for European climate, so they harvest skin and other organs from Palestinians.

Israel is officially more cringe than Ukraine

I love saying "Israel" with quote marks, some people get really angry when you use them. Plus it's true, what the fuck is this "Israel" everyone is talking about? I don't recognize such thing, it's all Palestine after all.

Prediction: tomorrow Nasrallah walks out onto the stage, rips up the paper he wrote his speech on, and just laughs into the mic as the rocket barrage begins

Lol, apparently Israeli media is trying to blackout tomorrow's speech, and requests people don't taln about it. Barbara Streisand effect is going to blow it up

They also bombed an ambulance convoy transporting criticality injured people (I think they were going to raffah crossing)

Zionist wankery is reaching new hitherto unknown levels of cringe. This is the UN "ambassador" of the zionist entity, at the UN security council who has declared he will wear a replica Jew star until the security council "condemns Hamas".

Imagine being such an unhinged piss baby that you feel it fitting to grope the victims of holocaust to extort undeserved pity for your shitty settler colonial state

re-reading bits of Finkelstein's book. replace Obama with Biden and he could be talking about 2023. every single one of these massacres has run through the exact same course, it's wild.

The Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, General Eric M. Smith has been Hospitalized since last night, October 29th, due to a currently Unknown Medical Emergency; because of this Lieutenant General Karsten Heckl, the Deputy Commandant for Combat Development and Integration and the Commanding General for Marine Corps Combat Development Command is the now the Acting-Commandant of the Marine Corps and will remain so until General Smith can return to Active Duty and/or a New Commandant is chosen by U.S. President Biden.

Telecommunications cut to Gaza once again about an hour ago; Gaza is currently experiencing the worst bombing it has ever experienced.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on his visit to Israel and Palestine - "There's a word that come up all the time and it's 'complexity' and it's closely related adjective 'complicated'... I assumed it would be hard to descern right from wrong to understand the morality at play [and the conflict]. But perhaps the most shocking thing was that I immediately understood."

"You can't behold evil and then return and not speak on it."

Ta-Nehisi Coates speaks about how an experience in Palestine illuminated the connections between the African American and Palestinian liberation struggles, and the moral responsibility to speak out.

Here in Jerusalem, you often hear people say "now is not the time for politics". Israel is still grieving, hundreds of hostages remain trapped underground in Gaza, and the war is starting to escalate.

the war is starting to escalate.

Goddamn that's deep

I got to shake will menakers hand at the movie mindset show for Halloween 3. I didn’t really know what to say other then I liked the pod bc I got nervous but man what a nice guy.

Is the Nasrallah speech on Friday really expected to be that big a deal? When it first came up, I didn't think too much about it considering it was scheduled an entire week away. Surely if it was that important, they'd want to put it out ASAP, right? My assumption was that it'd just be Nasrallah summarizing the situation, giving another strongly worded denouncement of Israel, and then business as usual.
