Tax, death and endless wars in the Mideast

Today i apologized to my manager for having to take numerous phone calls from Lebanon because of the bombings and she said “omg who’s bombing them?” This is the reality of living in the US. This is the ignorance of the American people

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva. Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable. Toca hablar claro: - Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego. - La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional. - La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel. - Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.

Trump is shutting down the nation's premier honeybee research lab even as a massive bee die-off unfolds. As usual, it is illegal to do this without approval from Congress, but Trump is doing it anyway.

this world is filled with beautiful people and art and the capitalist-imperialist class looks at it and says "let's bomb it all for oil"

“They’re going crazy on us!” This is a message and video I received from a friend in Lebanon. Hezbollah has ceased its fire, but Israel continues to slaughter. France? Egypt? Pakistan? IRAN? Somebody needs to step in NOW!

This isn’t Gaza, this southern Lebanon. War crimes. War crimes. War crimes.

Retweet if you believe Netanyahu is a war criminal.

One of the bloodiest days since the war resumed: Israeli strikes across Lebanon have killed at least 89 people and wounded 722. In central Beirut, Israel hit densely populated areas without warning. To think we woke up believing there might be a ceasefire.

Chaos in Beirut as Israel carries out a wave of airstrikes across the country hitting what it said were more than 100 targets in ten minutes.

Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now. Israel has launched 100 airstrikes on Lebanon in 10 minutes. Striking South Lebanon, Beirut and the Bekaa Valley simultaneously. This isn’t a ceasefire. It’s mass bombardment of civilian areas.

El-Sayed: I'm about to pay my taxes. I don’t pay taxes so another country gets a tank or a bomb. I pay my taxes so our kids get schools and healthcare.

So he’ll stop bombing Iran in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz… …which was open before he started bombing Iran. Got it.

Iran Deal by Obama: •0 Americans killed •0 Iranians killed •0 bombs dropped •$0 spent on war GOP: THIS IS AN TOTAL FAILURE! WE LOST! Iran Ceasefire by Trump: •15 American soldiers killed, ~700 injured •1900 Iranian civilians killed, 26,000 injured •$45 BILLION in taxpayer money wasted •18 countries bombed or involved in war MAGA: THIS IS A TOTAL WIN! SO MUCH WINNING!

9 years ago. @HillaryClinton warned us: “This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes – because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.”

Reporting from Saida. As Trump hails a “big day for world peace”, an Israeli strike killed 8 people overnight in a crowded café along the corniche, where displaced families were sleeping - far away from the frontline. No ceasefire for Lebanon so far.

Don't stop talking about Sudan Don't stop talking about Sudan Don't stop talking about Sudan Don't stop talking about Sudan Don't stop talking about Sudan

Notice how the word "freedom" works in American political language. Freedom to bomb another country: called defense. Freedom to sanction a population into poverty: called pressure. Freedom to support a coup against an elected government: called stability. But freedom for another country to choose its own economic system? Threat. Freedom for another people to elect a government Washington doesn't approve of? Crisis. Freedom for the Global South to trade outside the dollar system? Aggression. The word means: our freedom to do what we want, everywhere, to everyone. It does not mean what the dictionary says. It never did. And the citizens who repeat it most fervently are usually the ones who have thought least carefully about what they're actually saying. They're not lying. They genuinely don't know. The empire translated the word for them before they were old enough to question the translation.

Los alto al fuego siempre son una buena noticia. Sobre todo si conducen a una paz justa y duradera. Pero el alivio momentáneo no puede hacernos olvidar el caos, la destrucción y las vidas perdidas. El Gobierno de España no aplaudirá a quienes incendian el mundo porque se presenten con un cubo. Lo que toca ahora: diplomacia, legalidad internacional y PAZ.

Gazze'de görev alan Kanadalı doktor: -Gazze, dünyada en çok uzuv kaybı yaşayan çocukların olduğu yer. -5 yaşındaki Usame kemiklerine kadar yanmıştı. Verdiğim çikolatayı açamadı. -İsrail onun sadece ellerini değil, gülümsemesini de yaktı.
