הלילה בחברון וברחבי הגדה המערבית, תושבים נשים וילדים הוצאו מביתם. ככה לא נראית מלחמה למיגור הטרור. ככה נראה טרור.

So @andyburnham decided to burn em by drilling for more gas. You couldn’t make it up, the majority think it’s a great idea because the truth of the climate emergency has been hidden from them & they therefore don’t have a clue how close we are to it killing everyone & everything!

New Documents Prove Israel Funded Hamas Prior to Oct 7th ‘•The Israeli government funds Hamas. •The Israeli government ignores warnings from IDF spotters up to 2 years in advance of Oct 7. •The Israeli government ignores the entire Jericho Wall blueprint for the Al Aqsa Flood operation they acquired at least a year in advance. •The Israeli government ignores Qatar’s warning of the impending attack by Hamas. •The Israeli government ignores Egypt’s warning of the impending attack by Hamas. •The Israeli government ignores the US intelligence warning of the impending attack by Hamas. •The Israeli government ignores the public postings showing Hamas training for the attack. •The Israeli government moves the IDF away from the Gaza wall in the days leading up to Oct 7. •Once the attack begins, the Israeli government does not send the military in for several hours despite the IDF having military bases nearby and being “one of the most advanced militaries in the world.” •Once they send the IDF in, the Israeli government orders the military to kill everyone including innocent Israelis (a mass Hannibal Directive). Of the roughly 1,200 Israelis killed, most were likely killed by Israel. •When Hamas offers to free all civilian hostages on the first day following the attack with nothing in return, the Israeli government refuses to accept the hostages.' scheerpost.com/2026/10/22/ne…

Q: How are you going to lower gas prices? @JamesTalarico: I've already laid out a plan to suspend the federal gas tax and diesel tax, which would immediately drop the price of gas by 18 cents a gallon for Texans. But that's a stopgap measure. The only thing that's really going to lower these prices is ending this disastrous war in Iran. We need checks and balances back in our government. The legislative branch has to reassert its authority — Congress is the one that can and should declare war. We desperately need to restore those checks and balances and check the overreaches of the executive branch.⁩

I can't get over what a massive admission this is. If we lived in a world where politicians and media cared about facts, THIS would be the headline story. "ANTI-ISRAEL ATTITUDES INCREASING, ZERO INCREASE IN ANTISEMITISM." The pro-Palestine movement has been so successful in separating opposition to Israeli atrocities from hatred toward Jews that there has been zero increase in public hatred toward Jews throughout three years of genocide. That's an incredibly impressive achievement in activism and education regarding a mass atrocity we're always told is a super duper complicated issue that's almost impossible to understand. This one fact, by itself, completely destroys just about every argument the hasbarists have ever made about the pro-Palestine movement. People who've been taking a stand against the Gaza holocaust have been absolutely impeccable with their messaging, taking great care to help the public understand the distinction between the religion of Judaism and the apartheid state of Israel. If mainstream pundits and politicians actually cared about truth and morality, they would be falling all over themselves to apologize and correct the record on the narrative they've been pushing that the pro-Palestine movement is responsible for a surging epidemic of antisemitism in our society. They would be telling everyone that it turns out there is in fact no epidemic of antisemitism, and the pro-Palestine movement has conducted itself with saintly meticulousness in ensuring that hatred toward the Jewish faith gains no purchase within their ranks or their message. But mainstream pundits and politicians do not care about truth or morality. They care about promoting the interests of a genocidal apartheid state, no matter how many lies they need to tell in order to do so. This is why instead of seeing headlines about the Bell review's finding that there has been zero increase of antisemitism among British people, we've been seeing headlines falsely claiming that British schoolchildren are evil antisemitic Nazis who must be brought to heel. People who support Israel are disgusting, manipulative liars, and the western political/media class are the very worst among them.
Buried on page 30 of 'Sir' David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment. Astonishingly fraudulent crisis/debate, all to shield a genocidal state

En décernant le prix Sakharov aux juges de la CPI sanctionnés par les États-Unis, le Parlement européen a le courage que les chefs d’Etat et la Commission n’ont pas eu pour s’opposer à Donald Trump. Il montre la voie. Il n’y aura pas d’impunité pour les criminels. Merci @ARTEfr

Writer @NaomiAKlein says the rapid rise of artificial intelligence is part of a much longer project of privatization. "After 50 years of outsourcing and hollowing out of public functions of the state, the very last stage is the outsourcing of thinking, of intelligence itself."
