a reminder that Israel is not a real country. It doesn't have declared borders. It doesn't have a constitution. Its population does not have family roots in the land prior to the modern advent of zionism. They don't have a native culture, native food, dance, or stories.
Israel is literally the greatest heist of the 20th century that expelled an ancient society and turned their land into a jewish supremacist military outpost murdering its way through time, and constantly cobbling together new stories about itself to suit the latest political whims, while destroying everything that threatens their latest flimsy narrative.
God and the Bible have nothing to do with this abominable entity. They're not "chosen." They're not "a light." They're the biggest and most dangerous charlatans the world has ever known.
That was not a democratic election. It was another act in this absurd theatre we're all forced to endure.

"There is NO Diet Coke Version of Zionism"
In this episode of Palestine Deep Dive, Irish journalist and commentator Barry Malone and American writer Benjamin Moser, author of Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, join host Ahmed Alnaouq for a wide-ranging discussion on Zionism, anti-Zionism, media complicity and the language shaping public debate around Israel and Palestine.
Drawing on the history of Jewish opposition to Zionism, the conversation explores Britain’s role in the Zionist movement, the politics of antisemitism and the silencing of dissent. They also examine the Green Party’s recent adoption of its “Zionism is Racism” motion and the debate it has sparked.
With Israeli elections bringing renewed attention to Benjamin Netanyahu, the discussion also addresses whether a change of prime minister would address the deeper questions of Palestinian self-determination and equal rights

El presidente Pedro Castillo fue depuesto por un golpe de estado en Perú.
En prisión celebra el cumpleaños 15 se su hija que no la dejan ver.
Para mi adorada hija, Alondra; la razón de mi vida y de mi esperanza de libertad.
Sabes, hijita, sé que este no es el mejor medio para abrazarte y desearte un feliz cumpleaños. Sé que hay que salvar todo el tiempo y la distancia que nos separan. Cuatro años sin verte son una eternidad y una herida que nunca cierra.
Sin embargo, el Dios del cielo, el Dios de todos, el Dios de la justicia, mantiene mi fe indesmayable y profunda en nuestro reencuentro. Por él sé que pronto estaremos juntos.
Y aunque hoy todo parece triste y oscuro, en medio de mis penas y tristezas, tengo la luz de tus ojos para levantarme cada día; tengo el eco de tu voz que me alienta a seguir adelante y tengo, también, todos tus recuerdos, desde que eras apenas un susurro entre los brazos de tu madre y de cómo fuiste llenando mi vida con tu risa y tus abrazos.
Nada, nada, ni siquiera el día más oscuro me hace perder la esperanza de verte correr a mis brazos, como cuando, siendo aún niña, te colgabas de mi cuello en busca del amor de papá.
Mi adorada Alondra: sé que hoy Dios, que es Padre celestial, estará contigo, llevándote mi abrazo, y te dirá muchas veces lo mucho que te amo y lo mucho que te extraño.
Hoy cumples quince años de vida y yo también cumplo quince años de agradecer esta maravillosa bendición de ser tu papá.
¡Felicidades por tu día de cumpleaños, mi adorada Alondra!

BREAKING: People Against Genocide continue to block the road to DSV's distribution centre, to prevent the transport of weapons which are made by Israel's biggest arms producer.
The group also splattered red paint in the road, symbolising Palestinian bloodshed.

Solidarity with @DrJillStein and the antiwar movement!
Drop the false charges against Jill Stein!
On April 27, 2024, students at Washington University in St. Louis, and Green Party Presidential candidate and antiwar activist Jill Stein, peacefully protested against the horrific genocide in Gaza.
Video of the protest shows the police assaulting the peaceful protesters, including an officer using a bicycle as a battering ram against Jill Stein and the students.
Stein is now being falsely charged with assaulting a police officer and trespassing during the protest.
This is blatant political retaliation, which in reality is directed against the antiwar movement as a whole, with the aim of making people afraid to protest.
I demand that St. Louis County drop these charges on Jill Stein immediately.
Stein in particular is being specifically targeted because she has had the courage to challenge both genocidal billionaire-backed protest parties in her campaigns for president. The Democratic Party in particular, which supported and funded the Israeli state's genocide and controls St. Louis County, wants to send a chilling message to anyone who would dare to challenge them like Stein has.
If Jill Stein were to be convicted, she could face up to 18 months in prison.
Students, working people, union members, and the antiwar movement must stand with Jill Stein.
Demand that the false charges on Jill Stein be dropped immediately!

If you read the "liberal Zionist" @haaretzcom in recent weeks, you might think the outlet has been a stalwart opponent of Netanyahu government.
This is your friendly reminder that, for months & months & months after Oct. 7, Haaretz was all in on the genocide. ALL IN.
"My greatest disappointment is from @haaretzcom. For years, I would argue it was the only real respected media outlet in Israel.
But what happened after Oct.7? You open the newspaper, you see columns, articles, reports, calling for genocide, even in Haaretz.
Some of these people are my friends, or so I thought. I go to there social media & I see of their reporters sharing a photo of a bomb signed by her. I see other journalists from that outlet making jokes w/their friends about when they are going to build their beach home after they occupy Gaza & commit genocide against the Palestinian people."

In normal times, a good journalist would tell his audience that at least 2000 Palestinians were killed during Olmert’s tenure and over 8000 others were injured.
But we are living in a time where Sky News is considered a reliable news outlet and Yalda Hakim is a journalist.
"Are we a group of thugs that are prepared to expel generations from where they live in order to annex territories?"
Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert tells @SkyYaldaHakim Israel’s general election is a fight for the country’s soul.

I have been detained by Israeli security forces all day. Along with with MPs @labourlewis, @larabirdsnp, MSP Kate Nevans, former MP @SamTarry and campaigners from across the world, we were turned back because they don’t want anyone seeing their ethnic cleansing.

This is the latest in a long series of abuses and irregularities that plague this blatant case of political persecution.
Fergie Chambers is being punished for standing in solidarity with Palestine, donating to hungry families and humanitarian projects. He must be released.
🚨 “Chambers’s legal team discovered that [Fergie’s] phone was no longer in the custody of the national court in Madrid and had been turned over to the FBI…”
Where is the law? Apparently, no where to be found in this case of political persecution.

Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

"Lula’s victory is a popular refusal of US regional dominance, and it is a mandate to do far more to resist it."
Incumbent President Lula just won Brazil's run-off by over 4 million votes, despite a coordinated US interference campaign, but right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro is demanding the results be annulled anyway.
￭ His argument: the Supreme Court extended polling hours after Bolsonarista local officials deliberately disrupted public transit to suppress turnout. Even the Bolsonaro-appointed Supreme Electoral Court president confirmed the extension changed nothing, and the results have "absolute certainty."
￭ The Bolsonaro family's 2022 coup attempt ended in prison sentences and exile. Flávio is under active federal investigation for money laundering, corruption, and sex trafficking. His brother Eduardo is already urging him to flee to the US.
￭ The past year has seen immense setbacks in Latin America, with the rise of US-backed right wing regimes in Honduras, Peru, and Colombia, and the return of US neocolonialism to Venezuela. Lula’s victory is a popular refusal of this US dominance, and it is a mandate to do far more to resist it.

Only media pick up of this revelation from last week
Mainstream British journalists operate as an arm of the state. They are paid propagandists
Propaganda by omission is how they brainwash

If you want to win the hearts of your people, be brave, speak about Gaza, and be a voice for Palestine.
From inside Gaza, we are so happy about your victory, Lula da Silva.
Top Secret US memo sent from Brazil on 27 March 1964 outlining programme to undermine democratically-elected social democratic president João Goulart:
"We are meanwhile undertaking complementary measures with our available resources to strengthen resistance forces. These include covert support for pro-democracy street rallies....and encouragement [of] democracy and anti-communist sentiment in Congress, armed forces, friendly labor and student groups, church, and business. We may be requesting modest supplementary funds for other covert action programs in near future."
The typical CIA playbook. In this case, the operation was successful. President Goulart was overthrown in a military coup which began 4 days later. A brutal US-backed military dictatorship was installed and ruled for the next 21 years.
Trump's CIA just failed against Lula though. Hope for the world. The US empire is eminently beatable in Latin America - and everywhere. Washington puppets Milei, Paz, Noboa et al are next.

People are celebrating right now in Buenos Aires. Lula's crushing victory against US intervention has boosted the morale of social movements across the whole region. The fight is back on everywhere.

Se ha detenido el fascismo en America Latina en Brasil.
El pueblo brasileño libre logró frenar la avalancha de los bots falsos y el sistema electoral con software público y bien cuidado por la gente evitó fraudes, se salva la justicia social en Brasil y el intento extranjero de quedarse con sus recursos naturales.
Muy bien Lula.
Este es un triunfo para la humanidad y una derrota estratégica para las fuerzas de la oscuridad.

@LulaOficial ! Hermano del alma y compañero de lucha, felicidades por esta hermosa y heroica victoria!

Viva el pueblo brasileño! Viva la Patria Grande!
