So this guy spent 20 years in the US BOMBING FORCE, the uniformed (blue, like the USPS) mercenary forces, and he thinks he has a bead on CAPITALISM? He’s getting $7000 a month in “retirement.” His naivete borders on childish thinking, but then, overhearing doctors and lawyers and great white hopes in Newport last night talking about the best food in Italy, or, “oh, I’m going to Croatia next year . . . I hear the food is great,” can make a grown man CRY.
Here’s Colonel Astore:
The term “debt slavery” describes the status of many Americans; they own so little, not their houses (assuming they can afford one), not their cars and trucks, in some cases not even their furniture.
Productive capitalism is possible. So too is a “share the wealth” system centered on communal health rather than the greed of billionaires. But we are fed constant BS that “lifestyles of the rich and famous” are what we should all aspire toward.
How long a top-heavy system of extractive capitalism can last before it collapses under the weight of its own greed and waste is an experiment we’re currently conducting. What will come after the collapse is unknown.
To me, it seems the idea of a social contract is dead. America’s oligarchs and corporations are driven by profit margins, and workers’ jobs are being ruthlessly curtailed or eliminated in the process. AI is being pushed largely to make salaried employees redundant. Who needs people when machines can perform the same function, even if the machines are limited and only as reliable as their (faulty) programming?
- PRODUCTIVE CAPITALISM?
- DEBT SLAVERY?
- SOCIAL CONTRACT?

• Wildfires rage: Authorities have declared a state of emergency as three major wildfires in Spokane County, Washington, force thousands of families to evacuate their homes. State officials deployed the Washington National Guard as firefighters work to quell the flames.
• Impact on the ground: The fires have knocked out power to more than 13,000 homes, and up to 5,000 structures in the area are under threat. As the day goes on, “I think we’re going to be in shock to see some of the scenes that emerge,” a National Guard official warned.
• Climate crisis: The Pacific Northwest is facing its worst fire season in more than 30 years as climate change supercharges the conditions for destructive blazes. Washington is battling at least 10 large fires statewide as an unusually intense heat dome sits over the western US.

The Moroccan migrant invasion of Spain might be the most extravagant fake news story of all time. According to the official narrative, the roughly 60,000 mostly military-aged men swarmed the Spanish city of Ceuta on July 31 with the intention finding work and ‘making a better life for themselves”. The obvious truth, however, is that the entire incident was a poorly choreographed slapstick aimed at eroding support for the left-wing Spanish government and its outspoken anti-Zionist president Pedro Sanchez. The puppetmasters behind this pitiable vaudeville are the usual suspects Bibi Netanyahu and “little” Marco Rubio (who aligned with Morocco’s malleable leaders) to manufacture a phony crisis that would ‘teach Spain a lesson’. As you may recall, Sanchez has been sharply critical of Bibi’s ongoing massacre in Gaza and has stubbornly refused to let Trump use Spain’s military bases to transport munitions and bombers to Israel. In response, Netanyahu publicly threatened Sanchez just weeks ago in a thuggish presentation that is still available on X.
Morocco — that anal cavity for the Jews:
While the USA and Canada and the world burns, the Jews are getting more Eichmanns in their corner:
Spain’s refusal to allow the United States access to its….military bases…, and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s confrontational posture toward the Trump administration have collectively generated ….a genuine crack in Spain’s strategic armor over Ceuta and Melilla. Into that crack, Morocco’s most consequential new partner, Israel, is uniquely positioned to press….
In March 2026, Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute…. called on the Trump administration to formally recognize Ceuta and Melilla as occupied Moroccan territory, branding Spain “a colonial power running colonies across the Strait of Gibraltar.” Days later, Representative Mario Díaz-Balart, chairman of the House Subcommittee on National Security and one of Marco Rubio’s closest congressional confidants, declared publicly that the enclaves “are not in the geographic territory of Spain” but rather in Moroccan territory, and that their fate should be “established, negotiated, and discussed between friends and allies.” This was not the fringe speaking. This was the architecture of a coordinated strategic repositioning….
The Abraham Accords transformed Morocco from a quiet interlocutor with Israel into a formal military partner. In January 2026, Israel and Morocco signed a joint military work plan for the year during the third meeting of their Joint Military Committee in Tel Aviv, which the IDF described as deepening cooperation with a “key partner for regional stability.”… This bilateral architecture gives Israel something it has rarely possessed in North African politics: direct strategic stake in Rabat’s regional success.
That stake has an obvious application to Ceuta and Melilla. The Trump administration’s Abrahamic coalition, built around shared opposition to Iran and common economic incentives, has created an operational triangular relationship between Washington, Jerusalem, and Rabat. Israel’s voice in that triangle carries disproportionate weight. When Israeli officials signal alignment with a partner’s strategic interests, that signal registers powerfully in a White House that has placed Abraham Accords expansion at the center of its foreign policy vision. Morocco’s territorial claim over the enclaves is not simply a bilateral dispute with Spain; it is increasingly a litmus test for whether the Trump administration will reward its most cooperative partners over its most obstinate NATO members….
The Abraham Accords created a framework for reconfiguring Middle Eastern and North African alliances in ways that serve American and Israeli interests simultaneously. Helping Morocco recover Ceuta and Melilla would serve that framework and punish a NATO member that has repeatedly chosen obstruction over partnership at the alliance’s most critical juncture.

Jennifer Kavanagh discusses the weakening position of the U.S. in East Asia, and why it does not seem possible for Ukraine to “turn the tide”. Kavanagh is a Senior Fellow and Director of Military Analysis at Defense Priorities and an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University’s Center for Security Studies.
Jew York TIMES:
A historic shift has gathered pace across Asia this summer.
Over the past several weeks, China has extended maritime patrols to cover Taiwan’s east coast, demonstrating its ability to encircle the island. It has intensified military, trade and diplomatic pressure on Japan and test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile that showcased its growing sea-based nuclear capability.
With an eye on China’s growing power, other countries have drawn closer, revealing the contours of an emerging new security architecture.
Japan has strengthened defense ties with Australia, the Philippines and India, and it is discussing closer cooperation with South Korea. Japan has also scrapped its longstanding restrictions on defense exports and is moving to join South Korea as a regional arms supplier, while Australia has signed new agreements with Pacific Island nations, including a mutual defense pact with Fiji.
Since President Trump’s return to office, uncertainty over his commitment to the defense of Asia has sparked warnings that Beijing could seize the opportunity to be more assertive, pushing U.S. allies to band together.
Yet this doesn’t have to mean we are entering an era of instability for an economically dynamic part of the world that remains vital to U.S. strategic interests. An order in which Asian countries assume greater responsibility for their own defense and rely more on one another — and less on an increasingly distracted United States — could ultimately prove stable and secure.
At any rate, it is unavoidable. An overextended United States is less prepared to underwrite Asia’s security indefinitely than it once was.
The war with Iran has exposed the limits of U.S. military power and prompted Washington to divert military assets from other parts of the world — including the Asia-Pacific region — and Mr. Trump has made clear that he wants U.S. allies to contribute more to their own defense. His administration has already announced significant reductions in the U.S. military presence and commitments in Europe. No comparable plans for Asia have emerged yet.
A transition to a more self-reliant Asia must be managed carefully.
If Beijing perceives a rapid weakening of American commitments or sees U.S. allies as newly vulnerable, it might conclude it has greater freedom to press its territorial and security ambitions, raising the specter of military confrontation.
Fear of that possibility, and of U.S. abandonment, could quicken the arms race already gripping East Asia. China has steadily built its armed forces and expanded its nuclear arsenal. Japan has recently begun deploying longer-range missiles, South Koreans are debating whether their country should develop its own nuclear weapons, and Australia is investing in nuclear-powered submarines and missile capabilities.
Alarming as those developments sound, history has shown that Asian countries with diverse interests and forms of government can build working partnerships without deep U.S. participation. The 11-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations, founded in 1967, is often criticized as slow and indecisive in responding to shared challenges and has done little to counter China’s expansive territorial ambitions in the South China Sea. But ASEAN has helped to maintain peace among its members in a part of Asia previously torn by decades of war and provided a framework for Southeast Asia to engage with China.
A more balanced sharing of the security burden needn’t weaken deterrence. Deeper cooperation between countries such as Japan, the Philippines and Australia would actually strengthen the first line of defense against security threats, backed up by a gradually reduced — yet still robust — U.S. military presence.
As U.S. allies become more capable and integrated, it is only fair that they shoulder more of the costs of their own protection, freeing up thinly stretched American forces to meet global security challenges elsewhere. The United States, for its part, could continue to coordinate closely with its Asia-Pacific allies, take the lead on tasks central to U.S. interests, such as keeping vital sea lanes open, and work to maintain stable relations with China.
That kind of allied system would be stronger militarily, more durable over the long term than one that is overreliant on the United States and able to act collectively if American assistance is delayed or unavailable.
At any rate, the Middle East is proof that heavy American involvement is no guarantee that international rivalries won’t explode into conflict. The United States — along with Israel — started the war with Iran, exposing America’s partners in the Persian Gulf to Iranian attacks and disrupting global trade. As a result, some Gulf states are rethinking their reliance on Washington and exploring ways to maintain their security through partnerships among themselves, which may even include Iran.
The United States will remain a power in the Pacific. But the strategic balance has already shifted. American allies and rivals alike are wealthier and more capable than they were a generation ago, and U.S. forces are overstretched. Asia is adjusting to that new reality.
BONE UP: Bone up….. READ.
“Productive work” should not be confused with “socially-useful work”, while “unproductive work” should not be confused with “socially-useless work”. They have nothing whatsoever to do with these things. Incidentally, there are no equivalent terms in present-day bourgeois economics for productive and unproductive labour, as all workers are regarded as the same. However, they were extensively used by the great classical economists, such as Adam Smith and David Ricardo, to understand capitalism. People were regarded as productive or unproductive in the capitalist sense, which was the only way they could understand things. After all, the aim of capitalist production is the production of profit. Profit is the surplus value produced by the unpaid labour of the working class. Thus, according to the logic of the system, productive labour is that which creates surplus value.
“A man grows rich by employing a multitude of manufacturers; he grows poor, by maintaining a multitude of menial servant,” stated Adam Smith. The first would increase his profits, whereas the second would decrease his income. In the category of “unproductive” labour Adam Smith included a whole range of people, including domestic servants. This is hardly surprising given the large numbers of servants that existed at that time. The House of Commons report in April 1861 showed that there were more than one million domestic servants in Britain, an even greater number than factory workers. By the beginning of the 20th century, one in four workers was employed in domestic service. While these workers were undoubtedly exploited and forced to work long hours, they were deemed economically “unproductive” as they were paid wages from revenue and did not produce surplus value for the capitalist.
“What a convenient arrangement it is,” noted Marx, “that makes a factory girl to sweat twelve hours in a factory, so that the factory proprietor, with a part of her unpaid labour, can take into his personal service her sister as maid, her brother as groom and her cousin as soldier or policeman!” 12
Domestic servants were not the only people considered unproductive from the point of view of capitalism. As Adam Smith explained:
“The labour of some of the most respectable orders in society is, like that of menial servants, unproductive of any value… The sovereign, for example, with all the officers both of justice and war who serve under him, the whole army and navy, are unproductive labourers. They are the servants of the public, and are maintained by a part of the annual produce of the industry of other people… In the same class must be ranked… churchmen, lawyers, physicians, men of letters of all kinds; players, buffoons, musicians, opera-singers, opera-dancers, etc.”
Marxists use the terms “productive” and “unproductive” labour, but in a more precise manner than defined by Adam Smith. Once again, these terms are not moral judgments about the quality of a person’s job, but are definitions based upon whether or not workers produce surplus value for the capitalists. Clearly people such as doctors, nurses, and teachers are extremely “socially-useful” and essential, but nonetheless, from the point of view of capitalism, are regarded as unproductive workers. “Productive labour, in its meaning for capitalist production, is wage-labour which… produces surplus value for the capitalist… Only that wage-labour is productive which produces capital,” explained Marx. 13 In other words, these terms refer to what is productive for capital. Likewise, “unproductive” labour, in the capitalist sense, is therefore labour which produces no surplus value for the capitalist. As such, unproductive labour has become an ever-expanding mill-stone around the neck of capitalism which takes an ever-increasing slice of the surplus value produced by the rest of the productive economy.

Among these substances are certain pesticides, widely used in agriculture and present in some everyday foods.

Duh? Martín Rodrigo Alharilla, historian: ‘The best-known slaveholding families in Catalonia are only the tip of the iceberg’
The expert is studying the economic benefits that the slave trade in the Spanish northeastern region generated in the 18th and 19th centuries
“Look, those two buildings were owned by slave traders,” the historian Martín Rodrigo Alharilla, 57, says offhand while walking through Barcelona’s port area. He continues the route along La Rambla and points out a bas-relief showing chains, ropes, sugar canes and a chimney. The building that displays it on its frontispiece houses the Generalitat’s Department of Culture. “It was built at the end of the 18th century and later bought by Tomás Ribalta i Serra, an indiano (a Spaniard who emigrated to the Americas) with business in Cuba who likely ran a slave-trading factory in what is now Nigeria. An extremely wealthy man who spent his time here living off his income,” the professor explains; he curated the exhibition La infamia, la participación catalana en la esclavitud colonial (The Infamy: Catalonia’s Role in Colonial Slavery), which was shown at the city’s Maritime Museum and is now available online for consultation.
An Open Letter from America was sent on 11 November 2014, warning
countries in Europe and EU regulators not to authorize GM crops
because of the devastating effects on human health and the
environment. David Cameron ignored that advice on behalf of
England. He and Defra concealed the letter from the British public.
The European Commission and the European Food Safety Authority
ignored it as well and have continued to approve GM Crops for
growing and for food and feed in the EU. Defra dismissed the
complaints of Crop-sprayed rural residents in the UK of ill health:
cancers, neurological conditions, allergies etc. just as the Argentinian
Government dismissed the health complaints of rural communities in
Crop-sprayed towns. In their re-assessment the RMS, EFSA and the
European Glyphosate Task Force excluded papers from Latin America
where cancers, birth defects, infertility and DNA changes were shown.
Exposure of the brains of unborn and young children in the UK to
chemicals is reflected in OECD PISA figures for declining educational
achievement in 2013. A 2016 study also shows that in England the
young have lower basic skills than their counterparts in Europe. The
global élite may be able to survive by eating organic food, but not by
the pollution of water, soil and air by genotoxic and teratogenic
herbicides, insecticides and other industrial chemicals. Governments
and Regulators only measure a small fraction of them. The chemical
industry has created a toxic environment from which none can escape.
The devastating effects of these silent killers in our environment do
not distinguish between farmers or city dwellers, the wealthy or the
poor, between media moguls, editors or their reporters, Monsanto or
Syngenta Executives, Prime Ministers or Presidents. Many people in
the UK are no longer reaching the biblical age of three-score-years-and
ten because they are dying of cancers.
And so the billionaires and Eichmanns are on the march for all those jobs. Fuck, I just got hired on by a Kroger’s store, in the deli department, you know, four college degrees and serving up fried chicken and potato salad:
Kroger Is Quietly Closing Dozens of Stores in 2026: See the Complete List of Locations
The grocery giant’s strategy combines cost-cutting, modernization, and expansion as it reshapes its national footprint in the midst of a pending Giant Eagle acquisition.
Shitty jobs, we know that, but still JOBS:
Kroger recently agreed to buy regional chain Giant Eagle for $1.65 billion—a deal that would add nearly 197 supermarkets and 11 standalone pharmacies across Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, and Indiana to its footprint.
Currently, the Cincinnati-based company operates more than 2,700 stores across over a dozen banners, including Fred Meyer, Fry’s Food and Drug, Harris Teeter, Jay C, King Soopers, Mariano’s, Pick ‘n Save, QFC, and Ralphs. The closures are spread across several of the brands.
Kroger first announced the closures in June, noting that the move would deliver a “modest financial benefit” to the business. At the same time, the chain said it planned to increase store openings by 30 percent and break ground on 14 new stores.

The closures have drawn scrutiny beyond just the numbers. Some researchers have pointed to the broader risk of expanding “grocery desertsm” which are low-income areas where at least one-third of residents lack easy access to a supermarket. Such a phenomenon has continued as chains like Kroger consolidate their footprints.
In some cases, Kroger has said it plans to replace an older store with a newer one built nearby, suggesting the closures are as much about consolidating and modernizing its footprint as they are about cutting costs outright.
Kroger has not released an official list of which stores are closing or which banners are most affected. It told Fox26 that the decision is part of “a larger company-wide decision to run more efficiently and ensure the long-term health of our business.”

And some fucks say Amazon and Bezos have brought the world of riches and junk and everything to us? Third spaces. I heard music with my spouse last night. Forty bucks each, and $19 for water, two wine cups and a brownie.
Bars, bowling alleys and movie theaters cost too much to run and visit. Americans have run out of places to hang out, and we’re paying with our health.
Fortune Magazine: Before I was a reporter covering the death of American fun, I tried to run on saving it. In 2021, I ran for New York City Council in my home district of Astoria, Queens, on the slogan “Public Space for the Public Good”—a promise to wrestle back sidewalks, plazas, and streets from car storage and give them back to actual human beings. I wanted more open streets, more benches, more places where a neighbor could just sit down. I didn’t win, but I’ve never stopped noticing when a city takes away somewhere people used to gather, and lately, it feels like that’s happening everywhere at once.
Council for Foreign Relations? The perception that the CFR is tied to the intelligence community stems from its roster of members. Because the CFR serves as a premier networking hub for the American foreign policy establishment, its membership has historically included high-ranking government officials, including several CIA directors, secretaries of state, and military leaders.
For many decades, there has been a continuing dialogue about U.S. military, financial, and diplomatic support for Zionist Israel. However, even in the progressive and left media there has been a lack of discussion of the lesser known political and economic forces that have enabled this support. One key, but often ignored, source has been the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the think tank of monopoly-finance capital, also known as Wall Street’s think tank.
The CFR is the world’s most powerful private organization. It is the ultimate networking, socializing, strategic planning, consensus-forming, and foreign policy lobbying institution of the dominant sector of the U.S. capitalist class. As a think tank and policy center, it is the most important U.S. locus of the deep state exerting influence behind the scenes. In the United States, it mainly focuses on directing the federal government, but has power in many areas of life in the United States, such as elite universities, finance capitalist firms, other think tanks, nonprofits, Congress, top corporations, and the mainstream media. While some of its activities are semisecret, for members only, much of what it does can be revealed by perusing its website; reading its journal, Foreign Affairs; examining its annual reports; and following the activities of its members and leaders.1
Over recent years especially, the CFR has developed a close relationship to the Zionist state of Israel and has influenced the formulation of U.S. foreign policy to reflect this. In effect, the CFR has been and remains part of what has come to be known as the “Israel lobby” in U.S. political life. With the development of the current crisis in the Middle East, affecting not only that area but the entire world, this is an appropriate time to examine the complex of events, institutions, and people involved in the creation and evolution of our current crisis. The constant and false claims by Israel and the Israel lobby contend that any critique of their policies and activities is a manifestation of “antisemitism,” in effect shifting the focus from the actions of Israel to the motives of those criticizing it. Therefore, this analysis will begin with a discussion of Judaism and Israeli ethnonationalism also known as Zionism.

Ahh, InBred UnUnited Queedumb: Schools finally think they’ve found the answer to keeping students off their phones – and it’s making children happier
Schools across the country are bringing in lockable pouches to keep students off their phones. Are they a game-changer, or an expensive waste of money? Nicole Wootton-Cane speaks to teachers to find out more
Some insist the pouches have transformed their school environment. But other teachers are concerned they are a distraction from the wider problem of whether smartphones are suitable for children at all.
Yondr’s own research on the matter is mixed. It publicly boasts the positive findings that pouches reduce phone use in schools, but buries the researcher’s findings that there was no meaningful change in test scores, attendance, classroom attention, and perceived online bullying.
At Stockport Grammar, Ms Capewell decided to introduce mandatory Yondr pouches in September 2025, giving one to every pupil. She said the results have been “overwhelmingly positive”.

Published since 1986, it uses the price of a Big Mac in the United States as a benchmark to assess whether currencies are undervalued or overvalued relative to the U.S. dollar.
According to the latest index, the average price of a Big Mac in the U.S. is $6.22, while in Israel it costs the equivalent of $7.67, making it the second most expensive Big Mac in the world, after Switzerland, where it costs $9.04.

Two members of British band Massive Attack have been barred from re-entering Singapore after displaying a Palestinian flag and expressing support for a political cause during the band’s concert on Wednesday (Jul 29).
The police and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) said on Friday that the pair were issued stern warnings for offences under the Foreign National Emblems (Control of Display) Act and the Public Order Act. Authorities also said the band will not be allowed to perform in Singapore again.
Police said it takes a “serious view of acts which could potentially harm the racial and religious harmony in Singapore” and urged “the public, including foreigners, to refrain from importing foreign politics”.
This cunt of a country: Military Genesis: Following its independence in 1965, Singapore turned to Israel for military advisors after Western nations declined direct assistance.Model and Equipment: The SAF was structured closely after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), incorporating conscription and joint technological defense development like missile systems.

Iran Iran Iran, we can only hope this is true.But nothing coming out of the White Man’s Minyan is truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Malicious cyber activity affected technology at water systems in at least seven states this week, including Minnesota and Michigan, forcing some utilities to switch to manual operations as state and federal authorities dig into who is behind the attack, CBS News has learned.
Investigators are probing to determine whether the activity is the work of Iranian hackers, according to U.S. officials and sources familiar with the incident. Sources cautioned that since they had not definitively attributed the attack, their assessment could change as additional technical evidence is collected. They are also probing whether the actor could have attempted to appear Iran-based as a way of stirring the pot amid the ongoing U.S. conflict with Iran.
The FBI reported incidents in “at least seven states” but didn’t identify them. On Saturday, Michigan joined Minnesota in reporting cyberattacks on the state’s water systems but an official said all systems were operating “safely.”
Dale George, the director of communications at the state’s Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, told CBS News in a statement that the state received “a small number of reports from Michigan communities indicating activity consistent with what federal agencies described.”
“All systems continued to operate safely, issues were addressed by local operators, and there are no known impacts that posed a public health concern,” he added.
CBS News has learned more than 30 community water systems across Minnesota were affected. Minnesota and the federal government have not publicly attributed the activity to a particular actor.
Even as the investigation continues, President Trump said Friday he doesn’t think Iran is to blame. Instead, he pointed the finger at Minnesota and its Democratic governor, Tim Walz, who is no stranger to criticism from the president.

Back to the fucking whores of Capitalism — ‘Odyssey’ expert and translator Emily Watson wrote a brutal takedown of the film, and now Oates has entered the chat.
Author Joyce Carol Oates comes out swinging against translator over ‘The Odyssey’
Wilson’s biting missive, published in the London Review of Books this week, went so viral that it reportedly crashed the outlet’s website for a few hours Monday. The British American classicist’s take on the film was especially notable because, last fall, Nolan quoted Wilson’s translation when telling Empire magazine why he was drawn to the story. “I think it’s the Emily Wilson translation that begins, ‘Tell me about a complicated man,’” he said.
Wilson’s version of “The Odyssey” subsequently spiked in sales. A representative for Audible told The Times on Wednesday that, year over year, purchases of Wilson’s “Odyssey” translation were up by more than 600% across Audible’s U.S., U.K. and Canadian marketplaces. Daily global title sales rose nearly sixfold during the week the movie premiered. And in the nine days following wide release, daily global sales averaged around 20 times more than the rate before the premiere, showing sustained demand for Wilson’s translation.
Oates, who penned the Pulitzer Prize-nominated “Blonde,” said that, within the world of translators, Wilson’s review “seems all the more surprising since.

1. Operation Cast‑Thy‑Bread
Israel’s 1950s covert poisoning operation targeting Palestinian and Lebanese communities. Israeli agents placed contaminated bread in villages to trigger illness and displacement. It was part of a larger strategy to destabilize and terrorize populations seen as obstacles to Zionist expansion.
2. Deir Yassin Massacre
In April 1948, Zionist militias stormed the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin and killed more than 100 civilians — men, women, children, elderly. Survivors described executions, mutilations, and bodies dumped in pits. The massacre triggered mass panic and flight across Palestine.
3. Lydda Death March
Also in 1948, Israeli forces expelled tens of thousands of Palestinians from Lydda and Ramle in extreme heat. People walked for miles without water, food, or rest. Hundreds died along the way — dehydration, shootings, exhaustion. It was ethnic cleansing carried out in broad daylight.
4. Kafr Qasim Massacre
In 1956, Israeli border police shot and killed 49 Palestinian civilians returning home from work — unaware a curfew had been imposed. The victims included children and elders. Soldiers were lightly punished, and the state treated the massacre as an administrative mistake rather than a crime.
5. Sabra and Shatila Massacre
In 1982, Israel surrounded the Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut and allowed allied militias to enter. Over two days, they slaughtered thousands of civilians. Israel’s military watched, lit the night sky with flares, and facilitated the killers’ movement. No one was held accountable.
6. Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre
In 1994, an American‑Israeli settler walked into the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron during dawn prayers and opened fire, killing 29 worshippers and injuring more than 100. Israeli forces then killed additional Palestinians during protests. The mosque was later divided, punishing the victims instead of the perpetrator.
7. Killing of Iman al‑Hams
In 2004, Israeli soldiers shot a 13‑year‑old girl in Rafah, claiming she was “suspicious.” After she fell, an officer approached and fired multiple rounds into her body to “confirm the kill.” The military cleared him. Her schoolbooks were still in her backpack.
8. Operation Cast Lead / White Phosphorus
In 2008–2009, Israel bombarded Gaza, killing more than 1,300 Palestinians, including hundreds of children. White phosphorus — a chemical that burns flesh to the bone — was dropped on schools, homes, and UN shelters. Entire neighborhoods were flattened.
9. Great March of Return
From 2018 onward, Palestinians in Gaza marched near the fence demanding their right to return to their lands. Israeli snipers shot them systematically — journalists, medics, disabled people, teenagers. More than 200 were killed, thousands maimed. Many lost limbs from sniper fire designed to shatter bone.
10. Killing of Hind Rajab
In 2024, six‑year‑old Hind Rajab was trapped in a car surrounded by Israeli fire. She called emergency responders begging for help. When medics tried to reach her, Israel shelled the ambulance. Hind’s body was found days later. Her voice recordings became one of the genocide’s most haunting testaments.
“Israel” has no right to exist
“When they hear a command from Israel, they jump. And as a result we’re losing friends.” – Barry Goldwater to Pat Buchanan in 1988.
In 1980 Goldwater joined Senator Adlai Stevenson in working with other members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to start the machinery needed for an official inquiry into the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty

Pro-Zionist Far Right attacks Evo Morales
Morales, who is in hiding in Cochabamba, claims that the arrest warrant is an act of political persecution by the right-wing government of Rodrigo Paz.
On July 29, the Bolivian Public Prosecutor’s Office in Santa Cruz issued an arrest warrant against former leftist President Evo Morales (2006–2019). Authorities accuse Morales of having led the recent anti-government and anti-neoliberal protests that rocked Bolivia for more than 50 days.
The specific charges against the Indigenous former president are terrorism, endangering the safety of transportation systems, criminal conspiracy, public incitement to commit a crime, endangering the safety of public services, and armed insurrection against the state. The prosecution is seeking between 20 and 30 years in prison for the alleged crimes of terrorism and armed insurrection alone.
The prosecution claims that Morales is responsible for these actions allegedly because he participated in massive protests, during which demonstrators demanded the resignation of the newly-inaugurated president, right-wing Rodrigo Paz, for having introduced a neoliberal bill that allowed for the expropriation of land to settle debts (something that is prohibited in the country) among other things.
The complaint that led to the issuance of an arrest warrant was initially filed by Stello Cochamanidis Garces and by the Interior Minister Marco Oviedo Huerta, who joined the complaint sometime later. Thus, the warrant states: “[Morales] must come forward to explain what his role was during the 53 days (of road blockades), to explain why he made the statements he did, why he took responsibility, and why he said that he was the one who was practically in charge of the actions.”
Morales claims this is political persecution
For his part, on his X account, Morales rejected the arrest warrant: “Today the government issued a new arrest warrant against me, accusing me of alleged crimes of terrorism and armed insurrection. They seek to hold us responsible for the social protests to hide the true tragedy Bolivia is facing: a deep economic and social crisis, the result of a model that has abandoned the people and protects corruption. Our position has always been clear: we stand with those suffering from austerity measures, fuel shortages, the rising cost of living, insecurity, and the spread of drug trafficking.”In addition, the former president said that neither he nor the Bolivians demanding change will be “intimidated”: “They won’t solve the problems they themselves have caused through legal proceedings and political persecution; they’re just trying to divert attention with a new headline … We will continue to fight alongside the people, as we have always done, with the conviction that Bolivia deserves a different path: one of dignity, sovereignty, social justice, and the restoration of hope for everyone.”
“You know, we are not in 1935. We are not in 1935. We are in 1942. You are the Nazi regime that is carrying out a Holocaust in Gaza,” Marandi answered. “You are the Nazi who is doing it as we speak. You’re the evil monster.”
Marandi continued, “You say Israel is not a colonial regime. You’re from Eastern Europe. You’re European. All of those Ashkenazi Jews who are now running the country. They’re from Eastern Europe. You came and slaughtered.”
After Dershowitz attempted to interject, Marandi said, “I’m talking. I didn’t interrupt you as you were ranting. You, the people who you support, the people who are running the country, they’re Polish, they’re Ukrainian, they’re from Czechoslovakia.”
“You’re not a semite,” he insisted as Dershowitz continued to attempt to speak over him. “You’re the antisemite. You’ve been slaughtering—You won’t let me talk. You’re afraid. You are afraid because you have no argument. You have no leg to stand on. You slaughtered the semite Palestinians, and you took their land. You are a proud Zionist who supports a regime that celebrates the rapists in prison. They rape Palestinians in prison, and then they’re celebrated on television.”
