The IDF just released this Evacuation Order for 51 villages and towns in south lebanon, telling ppl to get 1000 meters from them. Can you comprehend the villiany, the criminality? 51 villages, all at once.

Translation of card from AlJadeed News:

Israeli Channel 12 announces that attacks on Lebanon will go on for several days at the very least. We’re in for many sleepless nights like this one

no yeah, no military expert, but feel like if this was hezb's opening salvo, it wouldve been more than 6 missiles at midnight.

My opinion: it wasnt Hzb. But Israel will act like it is, by expanding its bombing of South Lebanon and the Bekaa (which it never stopped doing since Oct 8 2023). They'll hope for Hzb to retalliate. No idea if they will.

Israeli media claiming 6 rockets were fired from Lebanon. All intercepted. Videos on Lebanese media show cars fleeing the south. No one has claimed responsibility for the rockets.

Iran in Crisis: Seven Essays on the Obstacles to Freedom (Introduction) This dossier starts from a basic question. How did we arrive at a moment in which imperialist powers that have waged war across the region and enabled Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, can appear as ...

Seems like an interesting list of very thorough essays. Will parcel through them over next few days while trying to follow up on whats happening.

The goal *is* the wasteland-ification of much of MENA so that Israel and the Emirates can rule over rubble.

question: is there any use atm to making a 20-30 min video overview of whats hppened in the last 48 hours re Israel/US-Iran-and the region? I feel theres almost too many voices and wary about contributing atm to the noise.

struggle to record even a short video about whats happened so far. its all so much, dont know what to focus on. but also it all feels so pointless.

Following Al-Jazeera's coverage has been very interesting. Like this is the headline of IT (alongside 4 other GCC countries - and Jordan) getting attacked by Iran. The FM condemned the attack, but also we had it coming.

It seems its true. Khamanei is dead. The regime lashing out without constraint. They want to show, after years of restraint, the damage they are capable of causing. But what's the strategy here? What's the plan? Like what is it, I genuinely don't understand.

On the one hand, I kind of understand Iran's response to US/Israeli bombing - by bombing a bunch of its allies in the gulf. But on the other hand, I have absolutely no idea what the Iranians are thinking! They bombed both the Dubai and Kuwait civilian airport!

Main problem with it is its sole focus on 'American lives'. Iranians dont exist to these ghouls (much like Palestinians and Lebanese).

Two cities in Israel, bomb shelter comparison

Two cities in Israel, bomb shelter comparison

By the way when you see reports about how Israelis are going to bomb shelters, you should keep in mind that the vast majority of Palestinian *citizens* of Israel (in the 1948 territories, not the oPT) do not have a single bomb shelter nearby due to the apartheid system Israel has implemented.
