I'm sorry, but what the actual fuck is the purpose of the UN, if Netanyahu can just walk through the doors and is allowed to speak at the general assembly while there is an international arrest warrant out for him? What a fucking farce!

The whole world has to isolate this rogue Apartheid genocidal maniac, serial killing, pathologically lying state, isolate it & shame anyone who goes there. Israel is exposed, Zionism is on its last leg & only exists on the weight of its own collapsed propaganda. @AbbyMartin ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Americans donโ€™t think we live under a dictatorship because we have elections, but the only reason we have elections is to preserve the illusion of democracy and maintain the dictatorship of capital. Havenโ€™t you ever wondered why regardless of who wins the election the bombs keep dropping and the rich keep getting richer while the masses struggle to make ends meet? The reason is simple: There is no real democracy in capitalist society because all elections do is put a different face on the same barbaric system that exploits the labor of the masses to enrich the billionaire class. Elections under capitalism are a sham because both parties the people are propagandized to vote for are bought off and bribed to serve big money and sell the people out at every turn. It has been hiding in plain sight this entire time: The dictator that rules over every aspect of our lives is not a person, but a system that puts profits over everything including our own lives. The dictator is capital.

This man, a professional medic, rushed to the scene when the Twin Towers were hit offering assistance. He was immediately told to stand back and overheard the order to detonate the buildings. Moments later he heard the explosions go off. This video is constantly being removed from the internet. I simply can't imagine why. x.com/AdameMedia/status/1833โ€ฆ

So to recap: - Israel knew about Oct 7 - Israel lets it happen - Israel Apache helicopters maximize destruction & death - Israel lies about war crimes and mass rape to manufacture consent for a genocide - Israel buries all evidence - Israel launches an ethnic cleansing war - Israel cuts off water, food and supplies - Israel blocks all foreign media & international oversight - Israel targets media and medical staff and infrastructure - Israel launches worldwide silencing propaganda campaign - Israel expands land grab and illegal invasion into West Bank and Lebanon - Israel pulls U.S. into illegal invasion of Iran - Israel confirms plans for Gaza final solution
Bombshell story from @haaretzcom. Netanyahu was explicitly warned about a Sinwar and Hamas planning the October 7th attack, but he brushed it off and never relayed the message to his security chiefs.

Ha'aretz reports that Hamas, through Qatar, conveyed immediately on Oct. 7 that they were willing to return all the civilian hostages for nothing -- their only ask was for a mediator to arrange the exchange and establish a connection to then negotiate the further release of the soldiers. Israel refused to talk or hear about it. So Qatar reached out to Antony Blinken to let him know that Hamas was willing to release all the civilian hostages. Blinken told Qatar he didn't want to hear it because "Israel is still under attack, and there's no one to talk to." Blinken had the opportunity to free every single civilian hostage and de-escalate the situation. Instead he wanted war.

If you want to know what kind of countries the US & Israel are just look at how they vote at the UN. They are consistently the only two countries in the world to vote against making food a right and a global ban on torture. Starving and torturing humanity is the US-Israeli way.

The capitalist empire blames all systemic problems on the individual. The problem isn't billionaire megacorporations polluting the planet, it's that you drive a car. The problem isn't that it's getting harder and harder to afford to live as the ruling class extracts more and more value from labor, it's that you're not working hard enough and you're making bad decisions. Soaring police brutality isn't a problem, the problem is that the guy in the current viral police brutality video didn't obey orders correctly. Israel's not an irredeemably racist endeavor dependent on nonstop violence and apartheid, it's just some naughty settlers and a few bad apples in the IDF. We don't live in a highly controlled oligarchy where both parties inflict war, ecocide, injustice and tyranny upon the rest of humanity on behalf of their wealthy donors, the problem is that you haven't been voting for the correct candidates. We don't live under an evil empire that feeds on human blood, it only looks that way because some individuals in charge made some unwise foreign policy decisions at certain points in history. The blame always lands on the individual, not the system, and you can recognize this as the cynical manipulation that it is because the blame only ever goes one way: โ€ข The individual business executives whose decisions are destroying our ecosystem are never held to account. โ€ข The individual government officials whose depraved foreign policy decisions destroy countless lives are never imprisoned for war crimes. โ€ข The oligarchs who are reaping massive profits expanding the surveillance state and profiteering off war, tyranny and sickness are allowed to keep buying politicians and private islands without suffering any consequences. Notice how "blame the individual" never applies to these people. If you want THESE individuals to be treated like a problem, then you're a radical. You're an extremist. You need to be put on a terrorist watch list. You and your friends need to be monitored and infiltrated by federal police. When it comes to those who prop up and profit from the system, blaming the individual is strictly prohibited. Jailing an impoverished man for periodically shoplifting to survive? That's fine; he should have behaved himself. Jailing a billionaire for buying elections and poisoning our planet? That's evil. Shame on you for even thinking that. Jailing a worker for stealing from her employer? That's as it should be; thieves should be punished. Jailing a wealthy business owner for stealing wages from thousands of employees? Get outta here, Stalin, that's a civil case. They can have their paychecks when they've won their class action lawsuit. Under the capitalist empire, we are taught that all we can do is make sure we're not a part of the giant permanent underclass who must suffer and toil for meager wages while always one mistake away from destitution. It is taken as a given that the underclass must always exist, and that all we can do is make wise decisions as individuals to ensure that we're not among the unfortunate riff raff our society is built on top of. It's like we've all been trapped in a crowded room by some psycho who is flooding the room with water, and he's telling us over the loudspeaker "Now you'd better make sure you climb on top of the others, or you'll drown!" In that scenario the psycho is clearly the problem, but we've been trained to see the individuals who can't get their heads above water as the problem. Whenever anyone goes online to complain about how hard it is to keep their bills paid or buy a house under the current system, they are swarmed by capitalism apologists telling them to work harder, spend less, and try to get a better job. Which is a lot like calling the fire department when a crowded building is burning and being told "Well I guess you'd better stay away from the flames then." No matter how well I as an individual stay away from the flames, there are still people trapped in the burning building who need help. Making the conversation about my actions as an individual is just an excuse to avoid addressing the large-scale nature of the problem. People consent to this nonsense because we've been indoctrinated into it our entire lives. Propaganda isn't just there to get us to consent to wars, it's there to get us buying into the entire system. The pop music is about owning stuff and having a good time. The TV shows are about people who are thriving so much under the current system that they have time and energy to get into hilarious hijinks. The movies are about protagonists applying their willpower and working hard over musical montages to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals as individuals. The news stories fixate on the latest attention-grabbing controversy while ignoring terrible things like homelessness and industrial ecocide. Our schooling tells us that communist countries have always been oppressive totalitarian wastelands and that capitalism offers us freedom and happiness. At no time are we ever offered the suggestion that things could be better than they are. Over and over again in innumerable ways throughout our lives, we are told that the current order is the only way things could ever be. Our minds have been carefully groomed to accept the imperial status quo as normal and healthy, and to see every failure of the system as a failure of the individual. We need to reclaim our minds from the social engineers who have conditioned us to think this way and begin cultivating unorthodox, unauthorized worldviews. We need to stop blaming each other for the failures of the system, stop scrambling to climb on top of each other to keep our heads above water, and start working together to eliminate the psychos who have trapped us in this room.

โ€œDo You Support Israelโ€™s Right to Exist?โ€ Mehdi Hasan FIRES BACK Mehdi Hasan: I've been debating hardcore Zionists, Israeli supporters of Israel, for years. And the conversation always comes back to one talking point: โ€œDo you, or do you not support Israelโ€™s right to exist?โ€ If you don't, you're an extremist, you're an anti-Semite, you want to wipe Israel and millions of Israeli Jews off the map. But you don't have to concede on this point. It's a bullshit argument. Number one: Right to exist where? Israel is the only country in the world that refuses to define its borders. So if you want me to recognize Israel's right to exist, does that extend into Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem all considered illegally occupied territory under international law? So, right to exist where? Number two: What is this right to exist? Where does it come from? States don't have a right to exist. People, individuals have a right to exist. Human beings have that right. Not states, not countries. The USSR broke up into Russia and 14 other states. Yugoslavia broke up. Czechoslovakia split into Slovakia and the Czech Republic. What happened to their โ€œright to existโ€? People have rights, not states. And number three: If there is a right to exist, does Palestine have a right to exist? Israel exists. It's a country with sovereignty, it's on the map. The idea that in a world where Israel is genociding the Palestinians in Gaza, ethnically cleansing them in the West Bank, and blocking their legal right to return the idea that Israel's right to exist is the one we should be concerned about, and not Palestine's, is both ridiculous and, let's be honest, racist.
