Beside Israel's northern border fence, the bursts of machine-gun fire from inside Lebanon are loud and long, as new Israeli forces push in to take strategic positions near the border. The regular rumble of air strikes echoes over the shattered remains of Shia villages, destroyed during Israel's last ground war there in 2024. A senior military official said on Thursday that Israeli ground forces were taking additional hilltops inside Lebanon - a defensive operation, he said, to better protect Israel's northern communities. But there has been a significant military build-up here. On Friday morning we passed dozens of tanks and armoured bulldozers, newly-positioned right by the border, fuelling growing speculation that a full-scale ground invasion is planned.

Hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians have been fleeing Israeli air strikes in Lebanon over the past few days, less than 18 months after a ceasefire ended the last conflict with Israel in November 2024. During that war, Israel fought its way house to house through many Lebanese border villages. Their crushed remains still litter the landscape. But some Hezbollah fighters have reportedly returned to these areas, and Israel is now fighting its way through the area again. Without those assaults on Hezbollah in 2024, which left a key Iranian proxy severely weakened, Israel would have found it much harder to launch its current war on Iran - or the previous one in June last year - without a much higher cost at home.

The Lebanese are just numbers throughout the piece.

I'm tired of refuges, anarchy of the peripheries, seeds of communism, anarchy of the cracks, autonomy from the margins, feminist spaces. I want the whole world, and I want that for everyone.

It's also annoying when he says shit like this just one paragraph from another. Literal turn of a page.

Malm on one page: SABOTAGE IS PREFIGURATIVE, DOWN TO THE SANCTITY OF PROPERTY

Malm on the next stage: And that's why we need to appeal to states because only states can solve the climate crisis 😇😇😇

What is all (anti-)politics but affinity?

HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE is kinda annoying me. So we need an armed movement, not so we can revolutionize the world (take power, abolish power, etc.) and save the climate, but... so that power can capitulate to the moderates??? Armed reformism.

Direct-actionist suffragette movement were so wild. Yeah let's do terrorism so that... women can vote. Difficult to think that they were the moderates and were contemporaneous with anarchists like Emma Goldman and Voltairine de Cleyre, some of whom were propagandists-of-the-deed.

an interesting thing about the current manifestation of facism is how it could easily be clarified as ~ woke ~ by conservatives and liberals alike and my hope is that socialists can use this to raise an awareness of fascism as a reaction inherent to a crisis of *capital*

Urgent warning to residents of southern Lebanon: Hezbollah’s terrorist activities are forcing the Defense Army to act against it with force. The Defense Army does not intend to harm you. For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately. Anyone who is near Hezbollah members, its facilities, or its weapons puts his life at risk. Any house used by Hezbollah for military purposes may become a target. To the residents of southern Lebanon, you must go right away to the north side of the Litani River to ensure your safety—evacuate your homes immediately and move northward beyond the Litani River. Be aware that any movement southward will endanger your lives.

Quick translation of the IDF statement ordering all of south Lebanon's population to immediately leave.

Keep in mind that Israel has never stopped bombing south Lebanon since the 'ceasefire.' They are now taking the next step to destroy as much of the country as they can.

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

I actually don't have words as to how angry I am.

Wonder what happened in these countries that people on student visas in the UK found themselves needing to apply for asylum instead of going home post 2021.

UK Labour are heartless bastards & apparently have bo idea whats happening in the world.

Cancel Culture is not real. It’s a white Nationist dog whistle. A reactionary position formed out of disdain for the accountability that came from bad pr on social media. Paula Deen losing brand endorsements for saying the hard er on a hot mic is “cancel culture” lol whiny losers the lot of them

yeah we're not gonna do “iran bombed their own school” like peeps ate up “hamas bombed a gaza hospital.” israel and the united states did this. unequivocally.

Graves.

165 graves.

Each for a little girl killed by the Israeli-American strike that targeted a school on the first day of the Iran War.

It's a social organization schema that reinforces the property relations behind many hierarchical power structures. It both requires and perpetuates a level of control by men as a whole over women as a whole, partly by also bringing *some* women into the power structure and leaving *some* men out

Regarding women slavers, rapists, traffickers, etc what is always clear is that their domination is not from the positionality of the feminine or of “matriarchy” but distinctly from the positionality of male domination, patriarchy. WHO is in a position matters less than WHAT that positionality is.

Just a few weeks ago, all these European powers spoke of the threat that the US now presents to Europe. They talked about the possibility of Trump attacking Greenland, like it was an imminent and existential danger. Now Trump unilaterally bombs Iran and they all fall in lockstep

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

Americans are often shocked when I tell them that according to every single Arab Barometer poll issued, which tracks opinion across almost all of the Arab majority states, the US is consistently listed as the number one threat and impediment to regional stability.

Man made climate change has impacted every living system on earth - pushing them all into a state of decline - but it also will end Chronos despotic stranglehold over man and instantiate an era of kairos, so its impossible to say whether its bad or not

Yeah, sometimes when you shoot at people their allies shoot back.

The individual ruling classes of the world are but rival caucuses of the same world Party of Order.

dead children lying under rubble because of US bombs is never a "distraction" and fuck you for saying so

Capitalism is the preferred tool by a network of pedophile billionaires to rule the planet & impoverish you, why do so many centrists still insist on supporting it?

Consider instead the beliefs the wealthy have tried to train you to be afraid of:

Socialism. Communism. Anarchism. Total Liberation.

Context: in 2017, Indonesian Islamists successfully conspired to jail Jakarta Governor Ahok, the first Chinese and Protestant man to be elected to oversee the country's capital region, for blasphemy, making him ineligible to run for President or be appointed to the cabinet for life.

Woah didn't know

Whatever happened to the dual power app of the Black Socialists in America?
