Juan Cole on the war criminals that have already appeared in Congress starting from George W. Bush.
"Lots of other unsavory people have traipsed through the national legislature’s halls. I’m not sure any of them has killed as many innocents as Netanyahu, the Butcher of Gaza."
@NotImpressed Bernie's just angry they never showed him the dead Palestinians when he hung out at that 'model' kibbutz in Israel designed to convince American Jews IsraelFuckYeah, after he bailed on the civil rights movement. Iow, he's playing Fooled. DON'T BE FOOLED by BernJob. His whole public persona is fake. @palestine@israel
"Youtube engineers watching their latest #adblockdetection program get defeated in fifteen minutes by a bunch of autistic #codemonkeys fueled by nothing but the desire not to see ads" #Hackers#Humor
The Israeli army bombed Gazans in their tents in the "safe zone" where it told them to go. Eyewitnesses told Mondoweiss most of the dead were burned alive or decapitated and dismembered, many of them children.
@faab64 Sure? COULD BE IDF. Thats why 'askin'. Looking for proof. I KNOW there ARE US troops in Gaza somewhere, but usually they'd be targeting crews. Drone ops and such. There's no authorization I know of for construction or general troops. It was OSTENSIBLY a 'spook' project by pentagon affiliated construction crews. #Fogbow. @palestine@israel
Demonstrators hold up cutouts of hostages during a protest demanding the immediate release of hostages, after the release of a video showing the capture of female Israeli soldiers before they were taken to Gaza during the deadly October 7 attack by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, near the Ministry of Defence in Tel Aviv, Israel.

@appassionato They SHOULD BE demanding an immediate #ceasefire, but these are most likely #Zionists supporters. Someone needs to tell them the #IDF bombings killed a number of them and #Hamas claims they've lost contact with at least one unit guarding the prisoners in #Gaza (via telegram, a day or two ago). They all can be presumed killed by Israeli forces too. @palestine
@DropBear Was waiting for that... Reported and blocked. Also to noauthority, which I do believe is an anarchist instance, but haven't checked. @palestine@israel
The current American threats to sanction the ICC could spell the death of International Law. Whatever little hope people had for a just international system will disappear.
@milennialzero You don't understand. This isn't 'off-course'. It's a scenario that was planned for. Israel is doing exactly what's expected, but not exactly how NATO and the US would have preferred it to happen. A slower less publicized genocide. @mondoweiss@palestine@israel
Canada’s largest private high school recently organized a genocide solidarity trip in which students cooked for Israeli soldiers. In a sane world, the school’s charitable status would be revoked.
@DropBear Actually, Fascism is eternal. It came first, and the specific zionist faction in Israel the west enabled is just one flavor of fascism (zionism overall is technically a doomsday cult) closely resembling nazism, b/c Lehi Stern Gang Irgun consorted with the Nazis and learned all the tricks the Nazis learned from N America's invaders
@DropBear What I meant by doomsday cult. Mid-1800s Im central asian jewish background. My grandpa was chased across the baltic by the pogroms to those E Eu slums where Zionism originated, then to Ellis. The west enabled a scumbag fascist faction. Jabotinsky... people like that. Proof that the scum with guns get to define terms like Zionism @EyalL@mondoweiss@palestine@israel
A new bill in Congress would extend some U.S. military benefits to the estimated 20,000 Americans currently carrying out the Gaza genocide as members of the Israeli military.
@mondoweiss As with national guard troops. Can't be fired from the job you were doing. A host of military service benefits.
Meanwhile... There are thousands of US Vets who are going to sleep in the street tonight. Many are 'damaged' due to their experience in the military.
@pedrobizbikedu They're US citizens who AREN'T (at least active) US military. Zionist settlers, their friends, and plain old Mercs... albeit mercs sometimes have better bennies than the Pentagon offers. @mondoweiss@palestine@israel
"Officials seized AP's equipment ... Tuesday afternoon, arguing the global news agency had violated the new law by providing a live feed of northern #Gaza to Qatar-based #AlJazeera, AP reported.
According to the #Israel-i Ministry of Communications, the confiscated equipment includes a camera, tripod, live modem and two microphones.
AP reported that it "complies with Israel's military censorship rules,"
There, I said it. And now I'll probably pay for it.
Because there are boundaries around how we can talk about #Oct7. You can support the #Palestinians: yes. But showing any sympathy at all for Hamas, is beyond the pale — you'll get doxxed, cancelled, vilified as an antisemite and worse..."
@plink I had a post removed for saying Israeli society needs deprogranming from believing genocide is ok, so I won't repeat it here. . . @palestine@israel
@Miro_Collas@palestine The belief that changing the officials of that government will change one damn thing about the genocide that's been CONTINUAL SINCE 1948 is how we ended up right here. There IS NOTHING "WRONG" about Israel's government. Their military domination of the region IS WHY IT EXISTS at all.
A video of a white police officer yelling at a female Palestinian American protester to "go back to Mexico" has gone viral. As the police explains, the officer was referring to the protester's recent vacation in Mexico. They must be using their smartphones to facially recognize protesters and accessing surveillance data on the spot. @palestine
@JapanProf@palestine If the woman was known to the police due to continual activism they probably have a 'file' on her and track her doings, if only for spooking. stalking purposes like this (but this can also be for very sinister and potentially murderous reasons too) COINTELPRO. It never stopped. The name(s) just changed, and as snowden pointed out... Maybe the only truly significant thing about the doxs released, was the SCALE they can do that 'file cabinet work' at now.
@Miro_Collas Depends on what one means by civilian. Here's the civilians who did the organizing https://www.fogbow.com/team/ The CIA and all the rest are Civilians too. Centcom said 'THEIR personnel' ... Centcom is the US military. @palestine
Don't be fooled by Joe Biden's recent speech on antisemitism. Biden doesn’t care about Jews unless they share his support for Zionism. The rest of us are enemies of the state.
