Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Grateful for people like Bartov.
More ppl need to understand that there’s no path forward with Zionism. And it is completely valid for someone like me to repeat this ad nauseam.
To even ask a Palestinian/Lebanese/Syrian to compromise on Zionism is to be part of its violence.

This is precisely why in my classes I insist on the concept of sectarianisation instead of sectarianism. Sectarianisation is a continuous process, and Israel is an example of a sectarianising force - and one of the most violent ones in the world.

Yesterday, Israel used a triple tap attack to kill paramedics in Lebanon. This means that they first bombed, waited for paramedics to come, bombed again, waited, and then bombed again. It was all caught on camera.

Day 1 of the “ceasefire”
Israel has already bombed Lebanon at least twice today. At least 1 killed and 3 injured.
This comes as Trump said Israel was “PROHIBITED” (in all caps) from bombing Lebanon

Ceasefire announced for tonight
If Israel follows same pattern at last time it will mean massive bombardments until the deadline
A reminder that Israel violated the previous ‘ceasefire’ over 15,000 times so apologies if I’m sceptical
Still, better than the current horrors

Fuckah (Foca, Italian)
Fuck (Phoque, French)
And my favourite: Fuck Me (Fakma, Arabic)
She told her teacher she wants “fucka book”

And on top of everything Israel is bombing near one of the most important seed repositories in the world, which is in Lebanon.
Many of these are unique and irreplaceable.

F-ing depraved. The IDF edited a photo of the journalist they assassinated and made it look like he was wearing a Hezbollah uniform. They explicitly state that it is legal in Israel to murder journalists. The entire Israeli state is a criminal enterprise.

I mean what do I even say? Despite all my issues with Hezbollah, it is a fact that they did respect the ceasefire and even the BBC acknowledged that.

But the ceasefire apparently ended when Hezbollah broke it one time

Pretty decent chance he was either not told about it himself or they told him to deny it. The reporting itself seems solid.
And as Rania said, it would be catastrophic. I can only hope that the Syrian government is smart enough to understand this.

This was 4 days ago. This Lebanese man had to bury his 4 daughters, aged 6 to 13 (Zaina, Zahra, Malika and Yasmine), his mum, his dad, his nephew, his brother and his brother-in-law.
All murdered by the genocidal state of Israel

Israeli soldiers were filmed raping a Palestinian prisoner and the Israeli government said it was blood libel to accuse them of the crime.
Israeli soldiers raping prisoners is essentially legal in Israel.

The US doesn’t seem to understand how many targets there are for Iran in the Gulf.
Attacking the desalination plant in Iran is monstrous in itself as so many people depend on them, but it also opens up the way for Iran to target the Gulf’s desalination plants, which would also be monstrous
