Basically every Israel-Palestine debate goes like this: "Israel did X." "Yeah, because the Palestinians did Y." "Yeah, because Israel did Z." "Yeah but only because the Arabs did A." But if you bring the debate back far enough in time, eventually you get to the part where the western world forcibly dropped a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization without the permission of — and to the extreme detriment of — the people who were already living there. Sure you can go further back and say "Oh yeah well the Jews lived there thousands of years ago," but that's just silly. There's no valid reason to believe some Jewish guy in New York City even has any meaningful lineage connecting him to that land more strongly than any random Muslim in Turkey or wherever, and even if there was, it would still be absurd to cite ancient history as the basis for a territorial claim. I'm only a few generations removed from my ancestry in Ireland and Scotland, but it would be ridiculous for me to show up demanding the home of someone who lives there. So the original source for the grievance is clearly the artificial creation of an ethnonationalist state in the mid-20th century, and the push by Zionists and western imperialists to make it happen. And how has that decision worked out? You see the results before you. Generations of nonstop violence and abuse, culminating in the slaughter and chaos throughout the middle east today. This means that creating Israel was a mistake. A mistake that needs to be corrected. Zionists will collapse into a shrieking pile of vitriol and hyperbole when you say this, claiming you're calling for the extermination of Jews, but this is false. Certainly ending a national order premised on putting the interests of Jews before Palestinians and righting the wrongs of the past would inconvenience a lot of the Jewish people who've been living there, but there's no basis for the claim that it would entail their deaths. Apartheid South Africa was dismantled without the extermination of millions of white people, and there's no reason to believe the dismantling of apartheid Israel would entail the extermination of Jews. The Israel experiment has been tried, and it has failed. It is time to try something else.

What if we told you the most surreal place in Iran is an underground lake? Ali-Sadr Cave in Hamedan is the world's largest navigable water cave (and one of the most beautiful). — You don't walk it. You sail it. — 11.44 km mapped. 2.4 km open to visitors. — Lakes up to 14m deep. Main chamber ceiling 40m high. — Constant 12°C water, year-round. — Zero animal life, except one blind crustacean (Niphargus alisadri) found nowhere else on Earth. — Nature spent 190 million years decorating it: needle-shaped stalactites, cauliflower formations, and crystals in various colors. Add it to your Hamedan bucket list. Right now.

The same British media that conspired to conceal (read: aid and abet) the Gaza Holocaust despite the shock and horror of the majority of Britons, conspires to conceal the fact that the Golders Green attacker stabbed a Muslim man first, despite this being a well established fact. One therefore will be reasonable in concluding: British media only truly exists to serve the genocidal aims of Zionism, and it will not hesitate to bury every Brit and every decent norm alive on its way to doing that, including by blatantly faking exclusive Jewish victimhood. They have no other function or purpose. It is a political organ of power that only exists to serve the genocidal aims of Zionism (which are entwined with the financial-political interests of Jude-Christian moneyed elites). It is precisely the same in every Western country except Spain. Precisely the same. It is not a conspiracy if we're all watching every detail of it unfold in real time. We are not stupid. They are evil. And it is our duty as free people to make sure that none of these whoring genocidal motherfuckers has a career when the empire and Zionism fall. They need to be purged and sent home with 0 pensions, because they are the stinkiest living examples of willful deceit and betrayal

Property tax is just a tax on unrealized gains and I'm tired of pretending it's not. You buy a house for $300k. Years later, market goes up, assessor says it's worth $600k now. Boom—your tax bill jumps, even though you haven't sold a damn thing, pulled equity, or seen a dime of cash from that "gain." You're paying every year on paper wealth that only exists on Zillow or some county spreadsheet. We lose our minds when politicians float taxing unrealized stock gains for billionaires ("muh forced sales!"), but grandma gets hit with the same thing on her family home and we're supposed to call it "paying for schools and roads"? Nah. It's a wealth tax dressed up as a service fee, and it only feels fair because we've normalized it for centuries. Once the mortgage is paid off, you should OWN it outright—no annual ransom to the county just because your neighborhood got trendy. Abolish property taxes on primary residences. Tax consumption if you must, but stop pretending "ownership" means you rent from the government forever.

On the evening of October 29, 1956, the IDF executed nineteen men, six women, and twenty-three children who were returning from their work in the nearby fields for violating a curfew they were never notified of. The IDF then forced other villagers to dig graves for their relatives under the cover of night, and placed a seven week gag order on any press who might have reported on it. The southern Triangle villages had been under a 10 pm daily curfew until the morning of the 29th, when Colonel Yisskhar Shadmi requested a last-minute change to a 5 pm curfew. When giving the instructions for this change, he instructed border patrol commanders to “shoot to kill” anyone found outside after 5 pm. The new curfew was only communicated to Kafr Qasim’s mukhtar at 4:30 pm. Thirty minutes proved not enough time to notify all of the village’s workers, who were yet in the groves, fields, and quarries beyond the village. It was not long before the shooting began. As the villagers returned home after their day’s work, they were met by the border police stationed on the road. A survivor from the first encounter, Abd Allah Samir Bdeir, reports that the guards ordered the workers to stand on the road before giving the execution order. The guards reportedly then checked over the wounded men, women, and children to ensure all were dead. By 7 pm, the border police had killed nineteen men, six women, and twenty-three children. Later that night, the army forced several residents of a nearby village to begin digging. They would not know until later that they were digging the graves of their neighbors. It was called the Kafr Qasim massacre

Every baby born in Iran is screened for 56 metabolic disorders — for free. The tech behind it? Nuclear. Built by Iranian scientists. Iran is one of only 5 countries in the world producing these kits. This is just one example of our peaceful nuclear technology.

A friendly reminder that the people who: •banned Black people from reparations, schools, military, GI bill, & FHA loans •who lynched & are now locking Latinos into putrid concentration camps •who locked Japanese people into camps & banned all Asian immigration •who broke every single treaty with Native Americans while committing genocide •And who are now gutting laws that helped counter that harm & passing laws to ban teaching that history... They want you to stop making everything about race.😐

A fiery speech by South Africa's🇿🇦 EFF leader Julius Malema, over xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals. “You say Zimbabweans take your jobs. Nigerians take your jobs. You march, close shops and beat up people. Tell us after doing that how many jobs have you created, by beating up these Nigerians, Zimbabweans and Ghanaians? You beat people because they took your jobs. You close a shop that hires people. How many have you created after beating and chasing them? Unskilled men, with no skills, none whatsoever, say somebody took away their jobs. I don't want your votes if you behave like that. Take them away. Pushing out of school an African child that looks like you, I will never do that. You can take your votes. Make me die with my conscience very clearly. I will never refuse a pregnant woman of African descent to give birth in the clinics of South Africa. Never!”

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

You cannot commit genocide in Gaza, invade Lebanon, bomb Iran, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq, violate Geneva and Vienna Conventions, international law, human rights, and state sovereignty, then hide behind anti-Semitism. There is no rise in anti-Semitism. There is a rise in the number of people who are very angry at what Israel is doing. Your inability to separate the two is equally problematic.

Este hombre llamado Timothy Brown, estaba comprando una botella de vino después del trabajo en Nueva York, cuando 2 policías racistas yankis le apalizaron salvajemente, le rajaron la pierna y necesitó 36 puntos de sutura. Los policías buscaban a un sospechoso negro y Timothy fue el primer negro que encontraron, así funciona la persecución racial en EEUU mientras dan lecciones de "democracia" a los demás países.

It is wild that the EU demands respect for international maritime laws to open the Strait of Hormuz, while remaining completely silent about the kidnapping of EU citizens in international waters trying to deliver food to the starving people of Gaza.

Just an evil psychotic nation

Asked if he thinks Israel committed genocide in Gaza, Obama accuses the questioner of not following the rules, then says “there are disasters and catastrophes everywhere” Obama is a historically inconsequential former president who believes in nothing but his own celebrity

He is a dying king of a dying kingdom, a dying empire, abd a dying idea: Britain is an irrelevant joke on the world stage, and it looks like Scotland is bound to get its independence sooner or later. I also read today that this year there will be more deaths than births recorded in Britain, for the first time ever, and that this is going to be the situation every year going forward. And on his deathbed, and the political cultural deathbed of everything he stands for - colonialism, genocide, pedophilia, slave trade, human trafficking, endless war, racism and deep hatred for humanity - this living relic of a monstrous past comes to the US to preach war, death and destruction (war with Russia, no less!), and is enthusiastically applauded, naturally, by a fake representative body that voted itself into not having any say on the war in Iran, and the siege and torture of Cuba. The West is an embodiment of everything that's sick and wrong with humanity (and that's on the off chance that they even belong to it)

Shame on him

Shayndi Raice presided over WSJ's discredited report falsely claiming 12% of UNRWA employees participated in the October 7 attack The fake story was co-authored by Carrie Keller-Lynn, a former IDF officer and ex-reporter for the Times of Israel It helped justify Israel's banning of UNRWA, bombing of its facilities, and replacement with the murderous Gaza Humanitarian Foundation as famine spread

I am from this village that Zionists has now wiped out for the second time. The first was in 1976. Today, they are doing this to every village in the southern sector of South Lebanon. This is a form of genocide. Their ultimate aim is to steal our land like they stole Palestine.

The poster child for disappointment
