Not only do Americans find every possible reason to justify enlisting in the army but they are brazen enough to think it’s appropriate to say it to your face that they contributed to US imperialism. For anyone from the Global South that manifests in ex-soldiers saying things like “Oh I’ve been to Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq, Panama, Grenada and Haiti ” when they learn you’re from the Global South as if somehow you’re supposed to be impressed that they’ve directly contributed to the colonization of your country. Anyone who says that military recruitment is viewed as a “necessary evil” for those who “have no other choice” is selling a blatant lie. US soldiers are proud to be US soldiers and they have no problem saying this to the faces of the people whose countries they’ve wrecked. There is no shame involved in having worked for the US war machine. I still haven’t seen this whole caricature of the regretful US soldier who simply had to genocide our people. I have firsthand accounts from friends, their parents, and their grandparents who have had to deal with US soldiers raiding their houses, stealing their things, sexually assaulting them, incarcerating them, and torturing them, but it’s easy to buy into the whole saintly soldier narrative when you don’t even take into account what someone does once they’ve actually enlisted. Americans’ thought process starts with someone “having to enlist” and ends there. Our people’s suffering is not just an afterthought; it’s literally not a thought at all. What comes next does not matter to them.

The Arabs have registered the largest victory: the 19 (could be 18 tomorrow) seats at the Israeli Knesset show they broke the fear they had and spoiled on netanyahu his victory to form a government, preventing him from having 61 seats. netanyahu is flirting with Lieberman now: come back to the Likud, lead it after netanyahu and have a key ministry.

"Nothing of this scale has been seen in the United States, experts say, since the federal government’s counterinsurgency against the New Left and the anti-war movement in the 1960s and 1970s." Incredible reporting here from @awinston wired.com/story/ice-is-runni…

Now Eisenkot has a serious problem which allows netanyahu to be happy with the outcome. Eisenkot has cornered himself, and his allies, to stay away from the Arab coalition (17-18 seats). If he doesn't change his mind, netanyahu will remain in office, ad interim, and will force a new elections and turn the table on Eisenkot. Exit? Eisenkot join the Arab coalition or lose to netanyahu. This analysis is only based on initial statistics and not final results.

Turin: a vehicle driving into a group of protesters is an act of state terrorism. A car sped across Piazza Castello, only to be subsequently "escorted" by officers in riot gear.
