PM Mark Carney says Canada isn’t considering sanctions on Israel over its continued bombing of Lebanon, but adds that “the ceasefire needs to include Lebanon, and it needs to include it now.”

In Germany, 300 criminal cases have been opened against people who "insulted" Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the internet.

If you want to understand the psychological structure of American empire, watch the reaction to a very simple sentence: "The United States is the most violent nation in the modern world." Not a difficult claim to document. By military spending. By foreign interventions. By coups supported. By governments overthrown. By wars initiated. By civilians killed. By arms exported to every conflict zone on earth. By the numbers, on any honest accounting, the claim is defensible. The reaction it produces is not engagement with the numbers. The reaction is almost always emotional, personal, and immediate. A sense of attack. A sense of injustice. "What about China? What about Russia? What about the Mongols?" The "what about" is not an argument. It is a symptom. It reveals that the sentence was not processed as a political claim about military policy. It was processed as an accusation against an identity. And identity doesn't respond to evidence. Identity responds to threat.

When IDF soldiers murdered Canadian-American Jacob Flickinger for cooking meals to starving refugees in Gaza, the world barely cared.

Wow. Everyone should read this 1983 article by Roald Dahl. Every word of it. It's literally the same fucking shit as now, with the same kind of impunity, only now it's even much worse. He called it. He fucking called it and they just ignored him and called him an antisemite.

Israeli minister Ben Smotrich has OFFICIALLY announced the start of the "Greater Israel" project. He includes Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine.

The Israeli siege of Beirut, 1982. Hezbollah didn’t exist back then.

🚨HORRIBLE: The moment Israeli forces hunted down journalist Mohammed Washah and his team in Gaza, incinerated inside their car after a relentless Israeli incitement campaign that openly called for his assassination amid the ongoing genocide.

Roald Dahl, 1983, about Beirut under Israeli bombs: "One finds it almost impossible to believe that a civilised people could perform such acts of fiendish barbarism upon women and children and patients in hospitals... The Israelis pinpointed and hit no less than thirteen out of the seventeen hospitals in Beirut, one of them a mental hospital and many of the others full of children."

Q: "There seems to be a disagreement about whether Lebanon was included in this proposal…Would you ask Israel to hold off strikes?" VP Vance: "The Iranians thought the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn't…The Israelis have offered to check themselves in Lebanon."
