Africa Muslims Agency had an advertisement to donate for Qurbani as Eid-al-Adha is about 3 weeks away and the programme didn't mention Palestine this time around, at least not directly. There is of course, many obstacles to get food into a city-state under the iron heel of the West, where the average person has less food in a month than a typical South African has in a day.
So a major South African humanitarian aid group is now totally shut off too.

Hezbollah declares sweep in Baalbek municipal elections as alliance with Amal holds firm
Hezbollah secured a decisive victory in the third round of Lebanon's municipal and mukhtar elections, with its "Development and Loyalty" lists winning all seats in Baalbek and across the Bekaa region.
The results were announced by Hussein Al-Nemr, Hezbollah's official in the Bekaa region, who hailed the outcome as a reflection of strong grassroots support for the party's local governance strategy.
Commenting on the results, MP Hussein Al-Hajj Hassan reaffirmed the strength of the alliance between Hezbollah and the Amal Movement, noting the consistency of their joint electoral performance.
Al-Hajj Hassan dismissed the intentions of the rival list in Baalbek, stating that its goal was not development but rather political change.
"The response came clearly through the ballot boxes," he said, underscoring the electorate's rejection of efforts to shift the city's political direction.

Oh man exit polls in portugal showing the incumbent center-right winning, which isn't shocking, what is surprising is some of them show the center-left and far-right being neck in neck. Right-wing liberals in third place, then in fourth place the europhile pro-war greens, having succeeded in their mission of emptying out the far-left of its less radical voters by taking their program for itself while also presenting itself as safe and european.
Communists could rise a little bit, though it's not looking likely that we'll regain our strongholds in the interior where anti-immigration sentiment has turned the region to the far-right and tactical "anti-fascist" voting leads people to vote for the center-left.
And the Left Block, which just a few years ago was the 3rd most voted party, could end up being the least voted on the left. It's ironic, the europhile green party has done to the Left Block and it itself did to the communist party back in the early 2000s, it came in with a bunch of positive media coverage, an image of being fresh and unimpeded by historical debates (it's anti-ussr) and supported a similar program but less radical and so voters who used to vote for a party to their left (the communist party) shifted right to support the new one, now it happened to them and, again ironically, they could end up getting even less votes than the communists.
I'll be happy if the communist party increases its vote share since that defeats the ever present media narrative that they're about to just poof disappear, especially in the context of having taken a strong anti-war position regarding ukraine, which made it pretty hard to publicly be a communist the past few years tbh, and it gives us a better base to keep growing.
Though, all in all, pretty bad results for the left in general and only the pro-war greens will be heartily celebrating.
These are just exit polls but if the results are confirmed then the governmental situation will stay as it was before the elections, there is no right wing majority without the far-right, and the center right still can't collaborate openly with the far right, so they'll have to depend on the center-left (who are currently being lead by a guy from the left-wing of the party) to pass laws, all the while the questions regarding the PM's personal business dealings are still in the air, though from the results it seems like people don't really care, and really the fact that people don't care that the PM might be corrupt will probably be the greatest factor of stability for this government to last.
Also, of note: Higher turnout than last time, fair to say that maybe in portugal high turnout favours the far right since a lot of people who don't vote get activated by anti-immigration shit.

Senior Ansarallah leader Nasr al-Din Amer:
In the coming hours, the Yemeni Armed Forces, relying on God, will carry out military operations targeting "Ben Gurion" Airport in Lod and other "israeli" airports. This is due to the recent "israeli" escalation against the Gaza Strip and the aggression against Yemen, and in continuation of the Yemeni leadership's decision to impose a ban on this airport and other airports, in addition to the naval blockade and closure of the Umm al-Rashrash port until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted.
Disclaimer: Airlines remaining at the airport must depart immediately, and all those present there, especially foreigners, must leave for their own safety.

Ukraine , a land with very few problems , has Hungary currently amass its Army on his western borders now. Region of Carparthia in Ukraine is ethiniclly Hungarian and Ukraine Drafted extensivly from there . Also some days ago Ukraine security services made some raids against "Hungarian Sympathisants" there. So he can assume people there would rather be in Hungary. Some play might start there soon. or its just to try to draw some Units from the east to the west , to overextend Ukraine even more.
theres a Fun Joke about this Place that might now soon get an Addition.
- I'd assume Ukraine despite being outmatched by Russia would inflict horrific casualties on the untested and smaller Hungarian military
  In fact if the Ukrainians went wild, I could see them easily pulling a 2014 ISIS-style offensive on Poland and Central Europe and making it all the way to the outskirts of Warsaw and Budapest, a military capable of continuously holding a 1200km attritional front with the likes of Russia poses a grave danger to the poorly performing militaries of liberal Europe
  I've said this before but Europe is creating a monster in Ukraine, one that is rapidly heading towards "nothing to lose" territory
  
  This is one of the deepest contradictions liberals are expected to swallow in the war.
  That NATO had no plans to attack Russia, but that somehow Ukraine was powerful enough to challenge the entirety of Russia.
  They built up a monstrously powerful military full of diehard nationalists, all while pretending Ukraine is a small weak country that proves Russia is pathetically weak due to their failure to conquer Ukraine in 3 days.
  Ukraine would sweep over most European nations and could easily make a challenge for control of East Europe in its 2022 state.
  
  I'd only visualize something like this occurring if the Ukrainian military still has strategic reserves to deploy to such a theoretical second front while maintaining their current defensive lines. Like I can imagine if they were to allocate the more NATO trained and orientated forces they keep on reserve and the nazi paramilitaries they may have enough manpower and armaments to push out a theoretical Hungarian incursion.
  This is not even taking into account terrain difficulties between hungary and Ukraine. If hungary chose to just march over the border and take the small strip of land before the Ukrainian Carpathians and move forward their anti-air systems into the occupied strip and make mountain chokepoints, Ukraine would be hard fucking pressed to take it back.
  
  yep - probably the most lethal force around , thinking abou it - maybe its some wierd - " lets use ukraine to invade Hungary to toppel Orban that blockades our Insane Policies against russia.. " - insanity Plan of the EU & Hungary tries to preempt.
- It was only a matter of time. If Hungary manages to pull it off, then expect other vultures to feast on the dying carcass that is the Ukrainian state. Especially since the "international sanctity of borders" type of liberal imperialism is on its way out.
- It'll be immensely funny if Ukraine get's attacked by
  country, retaliate and then get invaded by other
  countries
  
  Given the current geopolitical situation, I wouldn't be surprised if NATO just outright refused to help Hungary if they declared war on Ukraine. Fuck the charter, everything is vibes now
- Hungary currently amass its Army on his western borders now.
  "Amass" is a strong word, what is your source? Currently there's an espionage scandal going on, and they try to use it to influence the next election.

The New York Times has released a detailed report on why Trump prematurely ended the bombing campaign on Yemen. The article states the following:
After 30 days of strikes, Trump wanted a status report on Yemen. The status report concluded that the U.S. had failed to achieve air superiority, that drones were being shot down at an unprecedented rate, and that the U.S. had spent over a Billion dollars in the first month alone.
Omani officials told Steve Witkoff that the U.S. would be offered a way out of the campaign, but only if Trump agreed to direct talks with Yemen that did not include Israel, to which the President agreed. Saudi Arabia provided the U.S. with a list of 12 Houthi officials to assassinate, in order to 'cripple' the Yemeni movement. None were killed.
Several F-16 and F-35 jets were almost shot down by Houthi air defenses, marking a significant threat to American lives and elevating worries about a possible future confrontation with Iran. The U.S. used many advanced precision ammunitions, including bunker busters, but it had very little effect on Houthi infrastructure.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth tried to convince Saudi Arabia and the UAE to sponsor a renewed ground offensive in Yemen, but they declined.
Telegram
- The US sure showed Yemen why they don't have free healthcare (because they are a decaying empire that doesn't care about it's people).
  Congrats on the Yemeni people's second victory, and I hope they are preparing for the inevitable third.
- Insane thing to throw in at the end there. "Hey Saudi Arabia, our massive bombing campaign isn't doing shit, can you go boots on the ground?"
  
  9am shit-faced off Mr.Boston texting the leader of Saudi Arabia marked as "$Emperor$" in your contacts and asking them to do a land invasion.
- Omani officials told Steve Witkoff that the U.S. would be offered a way out of the campaign, but only if Trump agreed to direct talks with Yemen that did not include Israel
  W Omani officials
  The U.S. used many advanced precision ammunitions, including bunker busters, but it had very little effect on Houthi infrastructure.
  Would’ve helped if they actually targeted Houthi infrastructure instead of civilian infrastructure.
  
  Bombing a cement factory, a migrant detention facility, and a civilian airport: “why aren’t the militants’ capabilities degraded???”
- Lmfao the first F-35 going down to a hilux-launched R-60, or better yet a Chinese-made MANPADS wouldve had Boeing going for Trump's scalp before we stopped laughing about it
  
  Yemeni ground based air defences are more advanced than Hilux launched R-60s. When I say it's rudimentary, I mean that Yemen lacks the high level specialised systems like Bavar-373/Patriot/S-300, and the latest mobile point defence systems like Tor and Pantsir, which countries like Ukraine and Iran have, not that the air defence network is bad, they still have many systems. Many of Yemen's air defence systems are quite similar to the "frankenSAMs" that Ukraine uses. I'll provide images below:
  Yemen has Thaqib-1, a ground launched R-73 system, equivalent to the ground launched ASRAAM Raven system in Ukraine:
  Raven system:
  Thaqib-1:
  Yemen has Thaqib-2, a ground launched R-27, equivalent to Gravehawk systems in Ukraine armed with AIM-9L or R-27s (Gravehawk is mainly used with R-73s).
  Indian Samar-2, very similar to Gravehawk:
  Thaqib-2:
  Yemen also has Thaqib-3, a ground launched R-77, equivalent to the NASAMS system in Ukraine armed with AIM-120s.
  NASAMS:
  Thaqib-3:
  Good article compiling most available information
  When this is combined with passive ground based infrared search and track systems (Sephyr 14 for example) for cueing the infrared seekers on the R-27 and R-73, and the active radar seeker on the R-77, you can get a potent short range air defence system (SHORAD) that's mostly passive, relying on minimal radar inputs to tell you where to focus your infrared searching. This is how a Ukrainian unmanned surface vessel shot down a Russian Su-30 with an AIM-9.
  While Yemen were not able to shoot down any US aircraft directly, they were able to force them into uncomfortable positions.

Civil Registry Law: Cuba could allow legal sex change without surgery or court order. Cuba will debate a bill to allow sex change in documents without surgery or court ruling. The measure faces criticism for not including non-binary people and for possible practical limitations.
The change, presented as an advance by authorities and pro-government activists, comes in the midst of a strong economic crisis, with the health system unable to guarantee gender reassignment operations that were already allowed by the Cuban State. The proposal was detailed in an article published by Cubadebate. The draft bill has been reviewed by the National Center for Sex Education (CENESEX), headed by Mariela Castro, who complained that it is not yet sufficiently advanced because it contemplates the designations of female and male, without including non-binary groups.
The announcement coincides with the celebration of the so-called “conga against homophobia” that took place on Saturday in El Vedado. The mobilization was authorized and led by the government. Hundreds of people carried banners with slogans such as “Socialism yes, transphobia no”. “As a trans person I am advocating for a gender identity law,” Yoilán Balón told The Associated Press. The demand is evidence of the fundamental shortcomings, because Cuba still lacks comprehensive legislation on this issue.
Currently, in Cuba it is only possible to change the registered sex after genital reassignment surgery, a procedure paralyzed in practice by the lack of resources of the health system.

If anyone wants to be reminded of the case against Israel in the ICJ.
I suspect that Netanyahu is prolonging the war to occupy all of Gaza to facilitate the cover up of the corpses and maimed bodies. The bulldozers also crush bone and decayed flesh into sludge; the bodies are erased - they are unidentifiable and near unquantifiable - not unlike cremation.
I think Trump's Freudian slip of the numbers left in Gaza was likely close to the truth; as he said in his plans to relocate 1.5m people. That the truth is there are 1.5m people left in Gaza.
I think the ICJ/ICC are waiting for the war to end, but more than likely the individuals in charge of these institutions are being blackmailed, bribed, and threatened by the US, Israel, and other Western accomplices.

Trump’s speech in Saudi Arabia repeated a bunch of neocon talking points and principles (Iran can never have a nuke and needs to submit to American demands, Sanctions against Assad were necessary and good, Hamas is an evil terrorist organization that needs to be destroyed before Palestine can be lifted from siege, Saudi Arabia should join the Abraham accords, etc).
Then he went on to attack “neocons” who failed at nation building in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It’s all such a dumb farce. Whenever rightoids complain about neocons it’s always that Garfield meme. They don’t even realize they are the neocons. Dude you had Bolton, Rubio, Kellog, Walz and more in your foreign policy department. Shut the fuck up!

Unconfirmed Report. Chinese intelligence report 🇨🇳 on the ouster of Syrian President 🇸🇾 Bashar al-Assad (and the dismantling of Syria).
● A report published by Chinese intelligence reveals controversial details regarding the change of power in Syria to Abu Mohammed Al-Jolani.
● The report confirms that what happened was the result of internal betrayal by senior Syrian army officials, bribed with Qatari money, who played a key role in implementing a complex international and regional plan.
● According to the report, on the night Aleppo fell, officers of the Syrian army's central command committed a serious crime of treason by isolating Iranian consultant commander Bur Hashmi (aka "Hajj Hashim") in a conference room.
● After isolating the Iranian commander, these officers directly contacted the Israeli Mossad, paving the way for the Free Sham Front to advance and occupy the city in just 45 minutes without any resistance.
● The spread of betrayal.
This betrayal was not limited to Aleppo; other Syrian cities were similarly surrendered. Syrian officials also sent false coordinates to Hezbollah, which trapped it and led to the destruction of a convoy of 100 vehicles belonging to Hezbollah following Israeli strikes.
● Concurrent with this event, the US Air Force targeted Iraqi Popular Militia forces near the Syrian border, in coordination with Israeli operations.
● Deceiving Bashar al-Assad.
• Despite Iranian warnings, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad remained unaware of the extent of the betrayal within his army. He was receiving false reports from his close agents, who kept him isolated and ignorant of the situation on the ground.
• As losses mounted, President Assad began to doubt the loyalty of his superiors. According to the report, the final plan was to hand him over directly to the Al-Nusrah Front (the mock Liberation Authority). Aware of the imminent danger, President Bashar al-Assad sought direct assistance from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
• The report indicates that this operation was planned and executed in coordination with several international intelligence agencies: the British intelligence service (MI6) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, the Israeli Mossad 🇮🇱, and the CIA🇺🇸, under the direct supervision of Turkish President 🇹🇷 Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
● The coming days could reveal more details about this complex process, which combined internal betrayals and international collusion to reshape the Syrian landscape according to the agendas of major regional powers, the Chinese report indicates.
- all checks out
- The curse of post WW2 Arab Armies strikes again
  A regimental and National Guard system paired with a rotating officer corps prevents this shit from happening, but the totalizing and paranoid mindset of most of these former US puppet kings kills even the concept of reform
- No it was totally organic revolution by syrians who wanted free syria. Just a coincidence that it served the interests of the great satan and the little satan.
  
  We can't deny the unpopularity, weaknesses, and brutality of Assad, which only made it easier for the dozens of factions that sprouted in 2011 to be easier to exploit for the ends of said satans.
  While international powers can very strongly influence the result of these revolutions, IMO the influence they have in instigating them is correlated moreso to the contradictions that the state maintained before the uprisings ever occurred.
  It's why nations like the DPRK are able to exist despite the constant barrage of propaganda and infiltration attempts. It is much harder to bribe a general who has his family well fed, his countrymen well cared for, and a socioeconomic system that (despite its critiques) is antithetical to the contradictions necessary for revolution.
- And thats why stalin did the great purges.

UK’s F-35 exports more important than stopping genocide, lawyers to argue
Preserving the British role in the F-35 jet fighter programme takes precedence over the need to comply with UK laws on arms export controls, or any UK obligation to prevent a genocide in Israel, UK government lawyers will argue in court this week.
- In papers to the court, the UK has acknowledged that its supply of F-35 components for potential use in Israel is in breach of its own arms export control laws. The laws state that arms export licences must not be granted “if there is a clear risk those items might be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of international humanitarian law by Israel”.
  They've given up even pretending that a genocide isn't happening, too.
  
  I'm not sure which is worse: pretending there isn't a genocide, or acknowledging that there is with an "...and we're all in!" stance.
- I love the ~~rules~~-voluntary non-binding guidelines-based international order
  
  it's really more of a geneva suggestion

FORMER URUGUAYAN PRESIDENT PEPE MUJICA PASSES AWAY
José “Pepe” Mujica, former president of Uruguay and one of the greatest icons of the Latin American left, died on Tuesday (13) at the age of 89. Battling oesophageal cancer and an autoimmune disease, he was under palliative care and decided to stop treatment in January.
Mujica was a guerrilla fighter, imprisoned for almost 15 years during the dictatorship, seven of them in solitary confinement. After re-democratization, he governed Uruguay between 2010 and 2015, always faithful to a simple style. He donated 90% of his salary, lived on a farm and drove an 82 VW Beetle. Under his leadership, Uruguay advanced progressive policies such as the legalization of abortion and the decriminalization of marijuana. "You need to give meaning to life. Fight for happiness, not just wealth."

What will Hamas be receiving in return for listenening to its Qatari comprador allies and releasing Edam Alexander without any actual concrete concessions up front? Per DropSite News, a one way trip to America's premier slave market:
BREAKING: The Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, according to a report by NBC News, citing five sources with knowledge of the effort, including two people they said with direct knowledge, and a former U.S. official.
Key Details:
➤ The plan is being seriously considered and has been discussed with Libyan leadership. In exchange, the U.S. would potentially unfreeze billions of dollars in Libyan assets.
➤ Israel is aware of the discussions. Senior Hamas official, Dr. Basem Naim, said that Hamas was not aware of any discussions. No final agreement has been reached, NBC reports and the State Department and National Security Council declined comment.
➤ Libya, still divided between rival governments, is struggling with war and instability. The U.S. currently warns against travel due to “crime, terrorism, kidnapping, and armed conflict.”
➤ Plans include possible financial incentives like free housing or stipends to encourage voluntary departure—but it’s unclear how many Palestinians would agree.
➤ Transport options being considered include airlifts, sea routes, and land convoys, all of which pose major logistical hurdles. Gaza lacks an airport, and Israel may not permit overland travel to Egypt.
➤ The U.S. has also reportedly considered Syria under its new post-Assad leadership as a potential resettlement site.
➤ Trump previously said Palestinians would need to be relocated so the U.S. could “take over” and rebuild Gaza as a “Riviera of the Middle East.” He added: “I don’t think people should be going back to Gaza.”
➤ The proposal for ethnically cleansing Gaza has faced intense pushback from Arab allies and members of Congress.

Hussein Odeh, Palestine’s bodybuilding champion. At the start of the war, Israeli occupation forces destroyed his home and the gym he had built. Today, he went out to find a car to evacuate his family from Jabalia refugee camp. When he returned, he found no home, no children—Israeli warplanes had bombed the house and killed his entire family.
Palestinian journalist in Gaza, Yusuf Fares (wearing press jacket in above photos) wrote on FB:
To start again from zero, Hussein… I remember the look in your eyes that day—it spoke of how cruel it is to lose your home, your life’s work—the gym your self-made father poured his life savings into—and your dearest daughter, Iman, all at once. That was at the beginning of last year. Back then, little Khaled was the only sweetness left in a bitter life. He kept running into the camera frame, ruining the shot twenty times, and we laughed. He promised he’d rebuild everything for you—the gym, the house—make it all as if the war had never happened. He challenged me to an arm wrestling match and beat me with that sweet spirit of his.
All of that could somehow be endured. But to lose the very zero you were rebuilding from… to have your entire family killed while you were out trying to find a car to evacuate them—that is where the story ends before it can ever be told. That is where silence becomes deeper than words, where hope grows old and withers. I don’t know, dear friend, what could possibly soothe your shattered heart. I don’t know if writing still holds any meaning in the face of such overwhelming grief.

Indian fascists on Twitter are seething and calling for a boycott of Apple, because after getting Modi to bend the knee like a good subject, Trump told Tim Cook he doesn't want him to manufacture in India.

Israeli media is reporting that the first phase of "Operations Gideon's Chariots", the Israeli plan to militarily occupy the entire Gaza strip (yes, the entire territory of Gaza), has already begun, and will continue in the coming days if no ceasefire is reached with Hamas during negotiations in Doha.
This is extremely bleak...

I really hope Petro and Maduro are serious about these Gran Colombia talks!
https://elcooperante.com/maduro-dice-estar-de-acuerdo-con-petro-en-refundar-la-gran-colombia/
Machine translated excerpts:
During his program Con Maduro, the president said he had sent a letter to Petro in which he asked to move "more acceleratedly" in the creation of a binational area of shared development, stressing that both Venezuelan and Colombian entrepreneurs "are already prepared" and have "specific plans" to take that step.
"The fate of Venezuela and Colombia must be the integral productive union, the new Great Colombia, which is a dream of Commander Chávez and which Petro flies as well. I fully agree to recast the new Great Colombia," Maduro said.
Maduro is enthusiastically supporting the idea, though he's not bothering to talk about Ecuador and Panama. Instead, he's talking about a different partner: China.
The Venezuelan president also celebrated Petro's official visit to China, where he plans to sign accession agreements to the Strip and Route Initiative, and raised the possibility of attracting Chinese investments, machinery and markets not only for Colombia, but also for the projected binational economic zone.
"Between Petro, Maduro, Colombia and Venezuela we can bring with the Chinese machinery, investments, capital and markets for a powerful binational economic zone," said the Venezuelan president, who asked that his message reach Petro in the context of his agenda in China.
If China supports the creation of a huge socialist confederation in Latin America, oh boy we're cooking.

Russia-Ukraine negotiations actually happened today.
The Ukrainian source told the news agency that Russia’s demands were “detached from reality and go far beyond anything that was previously discussed”. They included “non-starters and non-constructive conditions.”

🇺🇸🇸🇦🇸🇾 Trump says US to lift Syria sanctions, secures $600 billion Saudi deal
Speaking in Riyadh, Trump said he was acting on a request to scrap the sanctions by Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
“Oh what I do for the crown prince,” Trump said, drawing laughs from the audience. He said the sanctions had served an important function but that it was now time for the country to move forward.
Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani said on X that the planned move marked a “new start” in Syria’s path to reconstruction.
Bafoonishly corrupt, but ultimately good for the people of Syria to lift the sanctions. Now this will be used to make the current regime in Syria look better than it should. In the future, be ready with this event in mind when people say Jolani was a saint.

shout out to Trump for actually doing the so called white genocide by dislodging Afrikaners from south Africa

Bare minimum news alert
Good news from the German Left Party
Die Linke has adopted in a vote of 48% vs 41% a motion that replaces the IHRA definition of anti-semitism with the Jerusalem Declaration
This definition doesn’t systemically equate anti-Zionism/anti-Israel views to anti-semitism as IHRA does
- The Antideutsche are really mad, as can be expected.
- Finally, a group of Germans voted against antisemitism.
  
  Morgentrauts malding rn
- This would be impossible a year ago. And also about 20 years too late lol

The ukrainian national that tried to burn down Kid Starver's house was charged with arson
https://www.politico.eu/article/ukrainian-man-charged-arson-after-fire-keir-starmers-house/
I don't know enough about the UK to know how they handle terrorism charges. Does charging this guy with arson mean he's not getting charged with terrorism? Presumably it's because Ukrainians are honorarily white and so thus don't have the shallow brainpan necessary for terrorism (read:
) but maybe there's some legal difference I'm not aware of

Al Qaeda emir Jolani meeting with Trump in Riyadh. Reportedly, all sanctions against Syria will be lifted in exchange for complete and total submission to US, including normalizing with israel and expelling all Palestinian resistance factions.
Throwback to 39 years ago when Reagan met leaders from a different wahhabi death cult financed by the Saudis...

I don't understand why any of these countries shedding crocodile tears for Palestinians are even pretending to care. What would they even lose by fully and publicly committing themselves to Israel's genocide?
Fucking hell all of Israel's allies (like, 99% of the world) might as well drop all pretenses and self-annex themselves into Greater Israel.
Here's an extremely black-pilled take:

In The Netherlands the tide regarding Palestine is changing a bit (slowly though). Several cities are calling the genocide by its name and pressuring the government to stop supporting Israel. Also in a few cities student encampments have been set up again and this time more universities didn’t react by immediately calling the cops and are actually doing tiny concessions. The concessions are obviously not enough and purely symbolic but it’s a noticeable difference compared to last year where they didn’t engage in any conversation and implied that the protests are purely antisemitic.

Goebbels would be jealous. I wish people would stop believing this crap.
- Theory: Netanyahu is an utterly disgusting and revolting person and the Yankee supreme leaders all genuinely hate him. However, the imperialist project is too important to them to let petty personal squabbles interfere.
  
  Yeah. Probably a good theory. There's always the hope that the hatred has a chance with Trump, as he's the king of petty, personal squabbles. But it's not a great hope. Just a better one than with Genocide Joe.
  
  However, Trump doesn't give a shit about the American world empire beyond what he can see in front of him on any given day unless an aide gets hold of him
- "Trump Netanyahu disagreement" is a better headline for the genociders than real headlines like "600 Flights Canceled in a Week: Yemen's Strikes Shake Enemy Economy" (al Masirah) and "The rate of fear among Israeli forces poses a serious threat to the regime which is facing a shortage of troops" (PressTV)
- Love it when MSM uses mild-mannered phrases like "division" and "disagreement" as if they just had an argument over which flavor of ice cream is the best
  
  Information space feels today like a giant circus and it seems that the globe is enraptured by the ringleader as if he wrote the script and decides the decisions (he did not and does not.)
  I yearn for the day I never have to read "the American president said..." ever again.
- A lot of it is just to make Trump "look good" before his upcoming visit to the Middle East. I expect a big walk back once the trip is over.
