Military air shows turn warplanes into entertainment, recruitment tools, and weapons advertising. They pollute the air, harm communities, retraumatize survivors, and normalize killing for children. Add your name to demand a global ban! worldbeyondwar.org/ban-military-a…

NOW: Police prepare repression at Delaney Hall ICE facility. Protests have been ongoing at the NJdetention facility for over a week in support of detained migrants inside. Last Friday, a group of detainees launched a hunger and labor strike, protesting lack of medical care, inedible food, inhumane conditions and demanding that their immigration cases proceed. The strike has now grown to over 300 people.

While Americans oppose more military aid to Israel, Congress is inserting something even deeper and more insidious into the US military budget (NDAA): US integration with the Israeli military! Tell Congress: Reject Section 224 of the NDAA. No military integration. No weapons and AI partnerships.

The Cuba lobby is the Israel lobby's Caribbean franchise. Reagan's people told the exile leadership to "copy the Israeli lobby," and they did. They turned exile grievance into PAC money, PAC money into congressional discipline, and congressional discipline into sanctions law. That is why the U.S. blockade survives every president, every UN vote, and every humanitarian catastrophe it creates. You can see the coalition in the annual UN vote, where the planet says end the blockade and Israel keeps showing up as Washington's loyal second. The machinery began in 1981, when the Cuban American National Foundation was built on the AIPAC model. The public face was "freedom for Cuba." The operating system was donor money, congressional targeting, and laws no president could casually undo. The result was Torricelli in 1992 and Helms-Burton in 1996, the legal cage that still structures Cuba policy. In 2003 CANF reconstituted itself as the U.S.-Cuba Democracy PAC. Mauricio Claver-Carone explained the model without euphemism: after Castro, the PAC would keep helping Cuba "much like the Jewish community extends a hand to Israel." Cuba was being imagined less as a country than as an Israel-style client project. In 2011, the American Jewish Committee launched the Congressional Latino-Jewish Caucus. The point was explicit: to bind U.S., Latin American, and Israeli politics into one congressional lane. We can see the pattern: whenever Latin America criticizes Israel, the caucus translates it into Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, terrorism. Colombia criticizes Israel and the translation is immediate: "surrender to terrorism and to the Ayatollah's regime in Iran." That is how Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Israel become one Washington sentence. The deliverable is Marco Rubio. Little Marco is the Cuban-American politician Norman Braman bought early and carried far. His owner Braman is a Miami billionaire, founding chair of the Holocaust Memorial, $10 million Georgetown Jewish Civilization donor, UF Holocaust Studies funder. Braman put roughly $6 million into Rubio's super PAC, helped fund his FIU salary, paid Jeanette Rubio's company more than $275,000, and accompanied Rubio on his first senator-elect trip: Israel. The investment paid out. The first payout was 2017: Rubio helped kill Obama's Cuba opening. Then Cuba was welded to the same terror-state category as Iran and Syria. Diaz-Balart handled the congressional side: fund Israel, protect Jerusalem, defund UNRWA, punish the ICC, restrict Cuba. AIPAC thanked him by name. The endpoint came in 2026: Rubio explaining that the U.S. struck Iran because it knew Israel would move and knew Iran would answer. The Cuba lobby did not just ally with the Israel lobby. It learned from it, staffed with it, legislated beside it, voted with it, and now governs through it.

Former CIA Agent John Stockwell: "We pumped dozens of stories about Cuban atrocities, Cuban rapists... We didn't know of a single atrocity committed by the Cubans. It was pure, raw, false propaganda"

"The Secretary of State was not born in Cuba. He knows nothing about Cuba." Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla calls out Marco Rubio's lies in a recent Fox News interview, accusing him of "intending to deceive" the US public to provoke war.

The 22-minute monologue that begins this show offers clear, compelling proof that Israel committed genocide in Gaza. It's then followed by a harrowing interview with Dr. Maynard and the atrocities he saw in Gaza. Anyone denying the value of this is either a fraud who doesn't believe what they say about the Israeli/US genocide, or is very dumb, or both.
Tucker Carlson@TuckerCarlson

At some point every Holocaust museum will be forced to include an exhibit on what’s happening in Gaza right now. It’s only a matter of time. Dr. Nick Maynard of Oxford University medical school has been a witness to the genocide.

The most powerful response to empire is organized refusal. Refusal to enlist. Refusal to normalize militarism. Refusal to fund endless war while communities go unmet. Refusal to accept domination where cooperation is possible. worldbeyondwar.org/do-u-s-war-cri…

U.S.-born Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard admits Israel will have to go to war with Turkey and Egypt once they finish off Iran, Gaza, and Lebanon. He says, “The storm is coming,” unlike anything the world has ever seen before. “We have to be prepared for the next war, which will probably be against Turkey and Egypt.”

As someone living under a US-backed dictatorship, I can tell you this is how it begins. 2 years and 21 State of Exceptions later, we’re ruled by perpetual martial law with Pentagon bombs, sexual torture, military checkpoints, activists starved, waterboarded or disappeared by soldiers. A little DEA operation turns into the opening of an entire FBI Office in our capital, the military killing protesters at a general strike turned into targeted assassination plots on indigenous labor activists, a few visits from a U.S. Envoy turns into U.S. boots-on-the-ground operations where campesinos are electrocuted. Ecuador has lived all of this already: the hijacking of a once socialist nation literally beat into a Yankee colony. We cannot let it happen to our sister nation of Bolivia too.

When we said in 2022 that the “West” is backing Nazis in Ukraine, “liberals” went nuts. They said “but Zelensky is Jewish!” Here he is kneeling at the fresh grave of one of Hitler’s henchmen.
Marta Havryshko@HavryshkoMarta

Today, as a Ukrainian-Jewish and a scholar of the Holocaust, I feel deeply ashamed. I never could have imagined that in my country — the country where the Nazis murdered 1.5 million Jews, the country of Babyn Yar, the very symbol of the Holocaust in the Soviet Union, a country that claims to be fighting for “freedom and democracy” — a Nazi collaborator and OUN leader like Andriy Melnyk would be buried with full state honors. Men under Melnyk’s leadership served in the Auxiliary police under Nazi. They hunted Jews hiding in attics, basements, forests, and barns, desperate to survive the Holocaust. They guarded ghettos and camps. They marched Jews to execution sites. And they took part in the shootings alongside the Germans. By the spring of 1943, the Holocaust in Ukraine was nearly complete. The Jewish neighbors were gone — murdered before the eyes, and often with the assistance, of Melnyk’s followers. And it was precisely then that Melnyk supported the creation of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, whose members swore an oath to Adolf Hitler. And today, the president of my country — a man whose own relatives were murdered by the Nazis — kneels before the coffin of this Nazi collaborator. One could hardly imagine a greater humiliation for Jews. It is a humiliation for everyone who once believed that “Never Again” meant something in contemporary Ukraine — a country where militant ethnic nationalism increasingly dictates the politics of memory, and national identity.
