@KyleKulinski Calls for incrementalism = system using Kuzushi (art of breaking balance) where an opponent's attack is deflected using their own momentum against them in order to arrest their movements resulting in controlling the opponent. Ultimately appropriating change back to system control

Journalist Rania Khalek completely dismantles Piers Morgan. She brilliantly compares asking people to condemn the resistance against a supremacist settler colony to asking Jews in the 1940s to condemn resistance against Nazi Germany. Absolute masterclass in intellectual honesty.

this is one of the best clips of Rania. she's always sharp, but here it's personal, and I know the extraordinary patience and restraint required to explain something so fundamental, especially when the only way they might begin to comprehend is to compare with the only instance of horror people like Piers actually understand.

"Asking a Lebanese person...to condemn resistance to a brutal supremacist settler colony is like asking an Austrian Jew in the 1940s to condemn resistance to Nazi Germany because 'atrocities.' That's all I'm hearing from you. Because my entire life, my family has been subjected to constant aggression and war crimes by Israel. Because since it's existence & founding in this region as a settler colony -- a Jewish settler colony implanted a region that's not majority Jewish so it has to commit constant ethnic cleansing and demographic engineering to exist as an ethnostate, not a normal country, a settler colony ethnostate -- just constant aggression and torture and rape and land theft against my people. They've currently displaced over a million in Lebanon and saying they can't return. "You have Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich saying they're going to annex southern Lebanon, depopulate it of Lebanese, and replace it with Jewish settlers -- just like they've done in the West Bank." @RaniaKhalek

This piece is paywalled, and I would never ever give the Atlantic a dime, but the essay begins its claim that Canadian Jews are being "purged from public life" with the story of a Jewish professor of medicine who quit teaching because he was offended by students' and colleagues statements about Israel. That's not being "purged from public life." That's deciding you can't tolerate criticism of a foreign country to which you have an irrational attachment. By the way, as a half Palestinian, I can assure you I've had to hear MUCH worse about Palestinians and Muslims at workplaces and at school, and it never occurred to me to quit and cry victim.

I wrote a piece for @TheAtlantic about how Jews are being purged from public life. I call it the Polite Pogrom. theatlantic.com/international/…

Today I met my university professor… the doctor who once taught me Organizational Behavior. I approached him with a smile and said, “How are you, doctor? I hope you are well.” He looked at me with tired eyes and replied, “I’m not well… who are you?” I felt embarrassed and said gently, “You don’t remember me? I’m Mohammed… you taught me at the university.” His answer shocked me: “Which university? Which course? When?” I froze. I started wondering… did I mistake him for someone else? Or did he lose his memory? Or did the war take something from his mind? I couldn’t continue the conversation. I left quietly, feeling that I had just met a man who looked like my professor… but wasn’t him anymore. When I returned to my tent, I called a friend who studied with me and is related to him. I asked him what happened. He paused… then said: “He is the only survivor from his family. Their house was bombed… everyone was killed. Since that day, he hasn’t been the same. It’s like he lost his mind… the shock broke him.” I was devastated. I wished I hadn’t left him standing there alone. I wished I had hugged him… sat beside him… He once taught me, and I loved him like a father. War doesn’t only destroy homes… it breaks minds, shatters souls, and leaves people alive… but lost. May God ease your pain, doctor. Please keep him in your prayers. 💔

Many people don’t know this, but we pay a fee on every airplane ticket purchased that’s supposed to go directly to fund TSA. But 10 years ago, Congress passed bipartisan legislation that diverted the security fee revenue into a general “slush fund”. Everything is a scam. 😩

🇧🇷🇨🇺 BREAKING: Brazil just announced it will send thousands of tons of food and medicine to Cuba. Despite Trump’s tariff threats. Despite the US blockade. Despite the empire's pressure. This is solidarity. This is sovereignty. This is the Global South standing together. While the US starves Cuba, Brazil feeds it. While the empire threatens, Brazil acts. The blockade is a crime. Brazil is saying no. More nations should follow.

Iranian Professor Marandi: “Their problem with Iran is it being an independent country. A country that supports liberation movements — from Cuba, where they are starving people, to Palestine. And Palestine, in particular, angers them. They do not want Iran to block their ongoing genocide.”

Israel killed Taline in Aramoun, Mount Lebanon. She was only 4 years old. They killed her father too — a cameraman. Not a combatant. Her mother, Natalie, is now in a coma, fighting to live. This is what Israel’s bombs do. This is who they kill.

Gavin Newsom called Israel "sort of an apartheid state" three weeks ago during a book tour event. This week, after facing backlash from pro-Israel lobby groups and Democratic allies like Josh Shapiro and John Fetterman, he went back to Politico to clarify that he actually meant it as a future possibility, not a present reality. He now says he "regrets" using the term "in this context" and was simply referencing a Tom Friedman column about the direction Netanyahu is heading. This is what political cowardice looks like in real time. Newsom said something that 41% of Americans already agree with, according to Gallup's own polling, which found that more Americans now sympathize with Palestinians than Israelis for the first time in the history of the poll. He said something that Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the UN have all documented extensively. He said something that South Africa, a country that actually lived under apartheid, has affirmed at the International Court of Justice. And the moment a handful of lobby groups pushed back, he folded. The backtrack is the tell. Newsom is widely expected to run for president in 2028, and this is him calculating in public. He is not walking back the statement because it was wrong. He is walking it back because he thinks it will cost him something. That calculation tells you everything about who Democratic politicians believe they answer to, and it is not the growing majority of Americans who are watching Israel burn children alive in designated safe zones with weapons paid for by their tax dollars.

The London Ambulances Attack: Of Course It Was A False Flag - The notion that the Iranian state would discredit itself by choosing to attack an ambulance service in London is crazy. Iran has not even attacked any hospitals or ambulances in Israel.  Iran craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2026/…

A Jewish man was arrested for arson against his synagogue, the Toronto Police Service said on Sunday. Avrom Bobrowsky, 67, is alleged to have used his key to enter the synagogue that he was a congregant of and deliberately set a fire last Thursday. Bobrowsky then reportedly fled the scene.

BREAKING: Back in March Trump claimed that the US blew up a "drug trafficking training camp," in Ecuador and released this video of the attack. Today we just found out, thanks to the New York Times, that it was actually a dairy farm. The US Government stated at the time: "At the request of Ecuador, the Department of War executed targeted action to advance our shared objective of dismantling narco-terrorist networks. This operation demonstrates the power of coordinated action and sends a clear message: narco-terrorist networks will not find refuge in our hemisphere." I am so f-cking embarrassed to be an American right now.
