True. Israel will shoot them in the head, starve them to death, or incinerate them in their tents no matter how little they are.

Most people in France can't afford housing.
They didn't blame immigrants, or transgender people, or video games, or avocado toast.
They blame the government. Because that's who's responsible. That's always who's responsible.

John Pilger, a man of immense intelligence & honestly wrote this in 2014.
A factual article, its contents never acknowledged today.
"Ukraine has been turned into a CIA theme park. In Orwellian style, propaganda in the west has inverted this to Moscow."

Meanwhile in the French legislature, the communist deputy faced down a jeering Zioright majority
"The Communist Party shed its blood for France.
The only blood on our hands is Nazi blood. And the blood of your ancestors -- who were collaborators!"

“And, finally, you are wrong if you think that the Communists are enamoured of violence. They would be very pleased to drop violent methods if the ruling class agreed to give way to the working class. But the experience of history speaks against such an assumption.”
-Joseph Stalin, in conversation with H. G. Wells, 1934

🇯🇵 🇺🇸 | Protesters in Japan gathered outside the US Embassy in Tokyo.
Using loudspeakers, they shouted slogans in front of the building as police forces tried to prevent them from approaching the embassy.
A new case of femicide involving a US Marine in Okinawa has renewed outrage among locals over the enormous US military presence in Japan.
Protesters shouted "US out of Okinawa!" and "Free, free Okinawa!" They also held banners in solidarity with countries facing US imperialist aggression, including Iran, Palestine and Cuba.
Okinawa hosts the largest concentration of US military forces in Japan.
The country also hosts the largest overseas US military deployment in the world, with around 55,000 troops stationed there.
Okinawa also bears a disproportionate share of the crimes that continue to make headlines.
According to Okinawa Prefecture, US military bases were linked to 6,163 criminal cases between 1972 and 2022.
Prime Minister Takaichi has vowed to strengthen Japan's military ties with the US as part of her unprecedented military buildup, marking the country's largest rearmament since World War II.

Before quoting Solzhenitsyn on truth, remember his own: He told Margaret Thatcher in 1983 :
“The German army could have liberated the Soviet Union from Communism, but Hitler was stupid and did not use this weapon.”
And The same Solzhenitsyn who said 'communism kills souls' also supported the brutal fascist regime of General Franco in Spain, Pinochet in Chile, and Suharto in Indonesia.

Memórias de um Afeganistão socialista, antes dos EUA financiarem os extremistas islâmicos para acabar com o comunismo.
O regime socialista aboliu o dote, promoveu a integração das mulheres ao trabalho (a exemplo, cerca de 40% dos médicos eram mulheres na década de 1980) e a alfabetização. O analfabetismo feminino foi reduzido de 98% (!) para 75% em pouco mais de uma década, e 60% do corpo docente da Universidade de Cabul eram mulheres.
O Decreto nº 7, de outubro de 1978, estabeleceu medidas contra o casamento forçado, restringiu práticas econômicas tradicionais associadas ao casamento e fixou idades mínimas para casar.

Remember: if Sally Rooney had said that she supports Israel's war crimes, apartheid, occupation and genocide in Gaza, her books could still be sold in Britain.
Bestselling Irish author Sally Rooney has announced that her books can no longer be sold in the UK due to the British government’s ban on Palestine Action.
In a statement on Wednesday, the award-winning Normal People author said that due to her publicly-stated intention to go on supporting Palestine Action, including with royalties from her work, “the fulfilment of contracts to publish my work in the UK could now constitute a serious criminal offence”.
Rooney added: “After a process of consultation and deliberation, and with my full agreement, my publisher Faber has therefore determined that it can no longer supply my work within the UK. I have made every effort to be honest with the public about my beliefs and intentions, and I am wholly prepared to accept the consequences.”
Palestine Action became the first direct action group in British history to be proscribed as a terror organisation under Keir Starmer’s Labour government last summer.
Palestine Action is not proscribed or otherwise banned in the Republic of Ireland, where Rooney lives.
Rooney’s outspoken support for Palestine Action has previously disrupted her work in Britain. In September 2025, she was forced to cancel a trip to the UK to receive the Sky Arts award for her latest novel, 2024’s Intermezzo, due to the risk she would be arrested under the Terrorism Act.
She also submitted a statement to the High Court in support of the legal challenge to Palestine Action’s proscription in November 2025, arguing that the ban impeded free expression, including cultural and artistic expression, and warning that her works could disappear from UK booksellers altogether.
Faber, Rooney's UK and Ireland publisher, said: “Current legislation in the UK has led to circumstances where Faber cannot pass on UK earnings to Sally Rooney for her work. To sell a writer’s work and not be able to pass on earnings is an unconscionable situation for a publisher.
“As such, and in full agreement with Sally, we have taken the decision that we can no longer supply her works in the UK in any format. We remain the proud publisher of her remarkable body of work, which we will continue to sell in other territories.”
Since the ban on Palestine Action came into force, more than 3,700 people have been arrested for opposing the proscription, the vast majority for holding paper signs that read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
According to the Home Office’s own data, terror-related arrests have risen by 1,553% in the last year, with 94% of them linked to support for Palestine Action.
Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori is challenging the proscription in the Supreme Court, beginning on 4 November.
