Israel’s torture chambers are now beyond the reach of the Red Cross:

The size of the #NoKings uprising across the country today is another glimmer of hope that, even in the face of this authoritarian regime’s crackdown on our people & it’s unprecedented assault on democracy, the fight for a better future in America is alive and well. πŸ‘Š

Saying Trump deserves the Nobel peace prize for stopping the genocide he was arming & funding in Gaza as he keeps it occupied is like saying a wife-beater deserves a feminism award for agreeing to stop beating his wife to a pulp every night & locking her in the bathroom instead.

I wanted to come up with an appropriate rejoinder to these despicable, genocide denying words from Jared Kushner. But I can't put it better than @omarbaddar.bsky.social does right here.

Telling CNN what the ceasefire agreement after 2 years of genocide will mean for Gaza, & how keeping the boot of occupation on the necks of Palestinians will never bring true peace or security for Palestinians or Israelis.

The real question comes later: Will Trump let Netanyahu use his poison pill (the part of the 20 point plan that lets Israel occupy Gaza indefinitely which no Palestinian will agree to) as an excuse to resume the genocide, or will he finally stand up to Netanyahu?

It is worth noting that Trump is calling on Israel to "immediately stop the bombing of Gaza" based on Hamas agreeing to something they've ALWAYS agreed to: Releasing the hostages & giving up Gaza's governance in exchange for Israel stopping the genocide.

Serious question: is there a single other government on the planet that can murder American children as frequently as Israel does without our politicians & media raising hell about it?!

Lebanon has been strictly observing a one-sided ceasefire for 10 months while Israel continues to pummel their country with THOUSANDS of attacks, killing & maiming countless people.

Remember this when someone in Lebanon eventually responds to this aggression.

This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

Yesterday the Israeli government murdered 86 Palestinians in Gaza.

Today, a gunman killed 6 Israelis in Jerusalem.

As you watch the in-depth coverage of the 6 Israelis, note how little you’ll hear about the 86 Palestinians, or about the many dozens more who will be murdered today.

The only way to stop Israel's genocide in Gaza in the face of Trump's full endorsement is for the rest of the world to isolate Israel & apply sanctions immediately.

N. Guard: β€œUm, there’s no emergency”

Trump: β€œfine, do some landscaping”

Can you imagine if US public schools displayed ISIS & Al-Qaeda flags in a "bid to fight Islamophobia?"

Utterly deranged & disgusting behavior in the midst of a genocide. History will have a lot to say about our Orwellian existence in this era.

As was already clear to anyone with an IQ of above average room temperature, & contrary to what lying Israeli propagandists have been saying, Israel’s killing of civilians in Gaza is, in The Guardian’s words, β€œan extreme rate of slaughter rarely matched in recent decades of warfare.”

Anas al-Sharif is the latest Palestinian journalist murdered by Israel in the largest massacre of journalists in history (read that again), for the crime of reporting Israel’s genocide to the world.

I’d say shame on western journalists who remain silent, but that ship has sailed a long time ago.

Who could've ever imagined that Netanyahu is a liar, and that the systematic ethnic cleansing & destruction of Gaza from day one was prep for the only thing it could possibly be prep for?

For the 1st time in my lifetime, a majority of Senate Dems have voted against sending weapons to that genocidal rogue regime massacring Palestinian children & terrorizing the region.

In a better world, this would be a unanimous vote held at least 21 months earlier. We can’t rest until it’s done!

Pro-genocide propagandists are whitewashing Israel's starvation of Gaza and its slaughter of its children. Never let them get away with it.

If ISIS had beaten an American to death, EVERY SINGLE media outlet would stop their programming to do breaking news coverage, the President would hold a press conference, & the U.S. military would be mobilizing.

But when Israeli fanatics do it, it’ll be a passing blip for our media & politicians.

Once again, Israeli soldiers confess to being ordered to slaughter unarmed civilians, but await the genocide apologists appearing on your TV any minute now to explain why Israel is only defending itself.

The Washington Post just released the audio of Israeli operatives threatening to kill the children and families of Iranian officials.

Once again, the Israeli government is the largest and deadliest terrorist organization in the Middle East.

Let history remember: The so-called β€œanti-war” president took a problem that Obama had already solved peacefully, & decided to unsolve it & make a war out of it to help a foreign war criminal named Netanyahu.

The consequences of this foolishness are unpredictable.

A rare occasion where a mainstream U.S. media outlet writes a blunt headline involving Israel’s conduct in the region. Kudos to the @nytimes.com!

Scream it from the rooftops: Iran offered to return to the Obama nuclear deal that verifiably prevents Iran from even coming close to nukes. Trump & Netanyahu refuse to.

They are LYING to you when they say this is about Iran’s nuclear program. It’s about making Iran submit to Israeli dominance.

Donald Trump just ordered the evacuation of Tehran, a city of 10+ million people (bigger than New York). This is utterly horrific & apocalyptic.

In a saner world, we’d be asking the U.S. to lead an international coalition to stop a rogue state w/illegal nukes from committing genocide & attacking its neighbors.

In this insane world, we’re debating if the US should intervene in support of this murderous regime & keep arming its genocide.
