2 civilian to 1 military target would put the IDF to shame. Even that 2 to 1 ratio is debatable given the use of the hannibal directive. They kill upwards of 100 civilians if not more for every 1 military personal they kill. So what they are really trying to do is wipe out the population. Killing the elders of a society is an attack on their history, killing the children is an attack on their future.

Gaza is one of the oldest cities in the world. As such an attack on it, is an attack on our history. Demolishing is destructive, but the threat of building over it is worse. To destroy all data on a hard drive, wipe is not quite enough, the bits are still there, their just writable. To really destroy the data it needs to be over written. That is what is scheduled for Gaza. It must be stopped. The halting of allowing schools to teach about slavery and the destruction brought down upon the people in the Americas before Columbus, is yet another attack on our history. This is what I mean when I say it an attack on our past.

Killing of children is a blatant attack on the future. Everything that is happening in the West bank and in Gaza could be used in case of an US civil war or even the threat of one. Eric Garner died from US police using IDF tactics. All of their tactics come back on us. Kilmar Garcia's detainment and punishment are likewise evidence of IDF tactics used here. They are attacking our future.

The attack on Palestine is aimed at not just destroying humanity, but erasing it. If it can happen there, it can happen anywhere. Hope is not lost. Humanity is being attacked by extensional capitalist threat. The easiest way for a capitalist to increase the exchange value of a commodity is to eliminate the rest of the providers of said commodity. The Capitalist attack on Palestine is a naked attack of capitalism against humanity. Capitalism will erase humanity if left unchecked.

I evaluate political parties based on policies they promote and what they're leadership says. They're leadership conflates anti Zionism with anti semitism, Hadash doesn't. Even the DSA in the US doesn't do that.

Political parties evolve over time so in order to remain principled, we must remain up to date on where they stand.

So unfortunately while die linke might be able to do the same, they don't.

These days when asked to picture a terrorist, I picture the faces on the currency of USA.

They claim to be anti Zionist and it sounds like their leaders oppose the occupation, support icj case, and support equal rights for all. https://tribunemag.co.uk/2024/11/anti-zionist-israeli-mp-i-will-never-surrender

If the psl as an anti imperialist party can exist in the US the imperial core, it would make sense that an anti-zionist party could exist even in a state built on Zionism. There were Jewish people there even before the British occupation, let alone it's recognition by the UN.

It sounds like they made a tactical choice to use their privilege to leverage whatever political power they can get to stop the oppression.

The more they suppress the protests, the more legitimacy they lose.

The Hind Rajab Foundation can only hold people to account when they can be arrested for war crimes. It isn't as though the Washington DC PD would be willing to arrest war criminals.

The oligarchy has made peaceful revolution impossible.

Trump isn't really bringing manufacturing back, the tariffs won't do that. They will cause chaos in the stock market that he can profit off though. He'd have to subside manufacturing here to bring it back, and it doesn't seem like that's something that he's willing to do.

However they do appear to be preparing for war with China and this could easily lead to a third world war.

This is a land grab. Same as Palestine. Same as Hawaii. They stopped the prescribed burns, the cut the fire department. They gave away the citizens water. To top it off insurance was cut.

This was a land grab.

 

Gaza fights for surfing santas.https://means.tv/programs/surfing-santas-in-gaza-welcome-a-new-year-of-prosperity-and-happiness-to-welcome-new-year How can anyone let such spirits what they have invoked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgDQyFeBBIo Palestine is suppose to be where people go to heal.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmHm8zju41E

 

Libel is to publish falsehoods into print that may excite public hatred. It can be hard to prove because malice or reckless disregard for the truth is difficult to prove.

Given the source of the horrific and false claims is one that has not been truthful or accurate in the past, repeating the statements as facts without first verifying would suggest malice or at least reckless disregard for the truth. Even more suggestive of malice those are statements from interviews where those interviewed have come forward to complain. Printing a rape fantasy as though it's fact does real harm, and must be stopped.

Funding for UNRWA was cut because of this reckless disregard for the truth. A celebrity was able to sue another for this, and the damages are far more clear in this case. The Arab-phobia in the media is making all of this worse and has to stop. Those responsible for publishing this trash must be held to account.

I can't afford to, but I'd like to know if anyone is. If a group was able to have a court consider charging Biden with genocide, there must a court willing to hear the case of libel against those who publish it against Palestinians.

We cannot be free until Palestine free. This the reason. The oppression of Palestine is the blueprint for oppression around the world.

Wiping out a military group is not the same as attacking civilians. Destroying military capability can bring peace, bombing civilians does not. Idf is military and its primary purpose appears to be the destruction of the Palestinians.
