What struck me most about Naza was not just hearing Israeli soldiers describe, in their own words, the horrors they witnessed and took part in during the bombing of Gaza.
But it was also how they described it: for some, the killing was “fun”. Others struggled to remember whether they had killed hundreds or thousands. They spoke with chilling casualness about the children and even babies they knew they were killing. One compared it to playing a video game.
As the credits rolled, no one moved. No one spoke. For several minutes after the film ended, everyone just sat there, stunned.
I’ve never experienced anything like it. A deafening silence that echoed the collective shock and disbelief at what we had just witnessed. A silence that spoke louder than words.
Despite Israel’s efforts to deny its direct evidence, the film NAZA is receiving rave reviews because it powerfully reveals the Israeli military’s clinical devaluing of Palestinian civilian life in Gaza, all told by Israeli military officers themselves. trib.al/ToyA0a5

Tommy isn’t a “young kid”
He’s a Republican political director
Abdul continues to hide who he is as he beats up a young kid.
His faith isn’t the issue. His ideas are.
He wrote an oped urging Americans to support the Muslim Brotherhood if they took over Egypt. After they took over, he publicly called for the MB to purge the police and the media of those who oppose the MB. That’s right - purge.
He calls Israel “bloodthirsty”. Who talks like that?
When a Hezbollah inspired terrorist in tried to blow up a synagogue in Michigan, Abdul justified it by explaining, “hurt people hurt people.” The terrorist’s brother was a Hezbollah commander in Lebanon who had been killed by Israel.
Abdul’s mother was a MB member, his sister supported the 10/7 Hamas massacre of Jews and the Obama Administration put Abdul’s sister in law on the terrorist watch list.
Alone among American candidates, the Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement celebrating Abdul’s win in the D primary.
I don’t know what Abdul is. But I know he’s a risk America can’t afford.

Did you know in 2014, Ukraine needed a loan?
There were two offers on the table:
🔴 The IMF dangled $15 billion,but with strings attached:
-Scrap the ban on private land ownership.
-Slash pensions and fuel subsidies,classic austerity.
🔴 Russia also offered $15 billion.
No strings, no neoliberal gutting of the economy.
President Yanukovych picked the Russian deal.
So what happened?
Washington backed a coup, ousted him, and installed a new puppet regime.
Then the new government bent the knee to the IMF.
Signed off on austerity program and opened the door to privatization.
Now, massive chunks of Ukrainian land,about a third, are in the hands of foreign giants like BlackRock.

Yeah, so my father arrived in the UK in 1966 as a legal immigrant. He and his fellow Indian immigrants didn’t claim the entire country was theirs, didn’t kick 100s of 1000s of Brits out of their homes, and didn’t set up an Indian ethno-national state in the UK. If you’re too dumb or dishonest to understand the difference between normal, legal immigration and settler colonialism, that’s on you, not me.

Never has the concept of Liberal Zionism looked more absurd and contradictory. It almost makes you feel sorry for people who simply can't accept the evidence before their eyes that the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians was inevitable from the very beginning of Zionism. As Theodor Herzl wrote in his diary on June 2nd 1895: “We must expropriate gently the private property on the estates assigned to us. We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it employment in our own country. The property owners will come over to our side. Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly.”

🇸🇦🇹🇷 Eight years ago today, the Saudi government dismembered WaPo columnist Jamal Khashoggi with a hacksaw.
They called him into the Saudi consulate in Turkey, massacred him there, and threw his remains into the sewer system.
The U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence assessed that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved an operation to capture or kill Khashoggi.
He was never held accountable, and no one called him a brutal dictator.

Un médico rompe a llorar ante una niña palestina de 10 años con un brazo amputado y sin anestesia suficiente para aliviar su dolor.
La pequeña vio su propio brazo arrancado, lo recogió del suelo y pidió que se lo volvieran a poner.
El horror de Gaza supera cualquier pesadilla.

4 men in plain clothes kidnap a woman—they claim to be ICE.
Woman's name is Angel Zhao.
She lives in Huntington Beach, California—originally Shanghai, China.
"Help me, please!" she cries.
"Someone call 911!"
"You can't do this!"
"Please, let me go!"
Please share so her family can know what happened and hopefully be able to locate her.
Incident occurred at the Los Angeles International Airport.
Vegan Chef Chris Tucker doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

They literally stole the name of the film, just like they sreal everything else. The big difference: NAZA is a blockbuster documentary, the hasbara version is a piece of dogsh#t IDF propaganda that nobody will go see, and won‘t convince anyone who isn‘t already a z10 cult member.

Bill Maher: I don't believe in God.
Me: cool.
Bill Maher: Israel was promised to the Jews 3,000 years ago.
Me: by who?
Bill Maher: by God.
