- A 26 year old American peace activist was just shot in the head and killed by an Israeli sniper in the West Bank
- Does anything else get mongered besides fear and fish
- "I felt like, like, like a Nazi ... it looked exactly like we were actually the Nazis and they were the Jews."
- I can explain why the Nazi salute is back (the people in power are nazis) and I can also explain why the Zionists don’t care (they are also nazis). Check please
- Probably the FBI lol
- It rules being in the last generation to learn anything in an already disturbingly illiterate time. If you’re a book-reader born before 1997 you get to be a genius for the rest of your life
- The poorest country in the Middle East is being bombed by the richest country in the world for daring to take a stand against genocide. All power to Yemen, a model of material solidarity, justice, and bravery 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪
- Seeing people say stuff like “oh was Israel supposed to just do nothing after 10/7???” with the implication being that Palestine was supposed to do nothing after decades of colonial violence. This is what we call racism
- This is really quite incredible. While Israelis were making rat memes of him tucked away in tunnels, Sinwar was hiding in plain sight on the front lines, facing down Israeli tanks
- “Free Palestine” doesn’t mean anything unless you’re also willing to say “Fuck Israel”
- Genuine question: what do you think they are fighting and dying for?There's nothing to get — Hamas doesn't care about ordinary Gazans so why would they disarm?
- Trump doesn’t think abortion is bad and Biden doesn’t think it’s good and they both have to pretend otherwise for electoral reasons. It’s extremely perverse
