I wrote for @Parapraxis_Mag about the origins and nature of the Axis of Resistance, the legacies of Nasser and Sadat, and how both Sinwar's experiences in 1967 and the current regional war illustrate the cold reality: that there is no option but to resist.parapraxismagazine.com/articles/axes-…
🇺🇳DEVELOPING STORY: UN staff have decided to stay in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza—despite new Israeli displacement orders and attacks. The spokesman said: “That’s our humanitarian hub. Staff is dispatched from there to different parts of Gaza. That’s where our equipment is.…
Happy centenary to the fighter who refuses, even in death, to be diluted by the West and academia and whose contributions to the oppressed is ever-present during these times. 1979 copy of the Wretched of the Earth, Dar al-Tale’a in Beirut.
100 years ago today, Frantz Fanon was born. Martiniquais by birth, Algerian by struggle #Fanon100 was not only a key thinker of anti-imperialist struggles in Africa and the Global South, but also a revolutionary activist. "What matters is not to know the world but to change it"
Aid isn’t being blocked. It’s being ignored by the @UN . Right now, 950 aid trucks are waiting inside Gaza, fully loaded and ready for distribution. Israel facilitated their entry. So why are they still sitting there? The UN needs to stop pointing fingers and start doing its…

Yemeni President Mahdi al-Mashat today on the famine in Gaza:
Activists stormed the building of the Israeli Broadcasting Authority and called on Israeli media to report on the atrocities committed by the army in Gaza.
A view into how Israel treats Arab audiences: having the IDF's Arabic spokesman smirk as he watches a video on his phone of an Al Jazeera correspondent in Gaza amidst the starvation, going onto dismiss the scenes of famine as a "Hollywood production" that is "carefully staged."
فيلم اليوم من إنتاج هوليوود - فرع غزة، برعاية قناة الجزيرة @AJArabic وبدعم خاص من حماس الإرهابية: دراما مفبركة بطلها أنس الشريف @AnasAlSharif0 الذي ذرف دموع التماسيح في لقطة مدروسة بعناية... بطولة العالم في التزوير والكذب والافتراء مستمرة بلا توقف. وغزة؟ نعم، تُعاني… لكن من…

the classic argument "it's not happening but also you had it coming"
Release the hostages. Until then, starve away. (This is all a lie anyway. It amazes me that the media continues to regurgitate Muslim terror propaganda.)
Praise be to Allah who honored me today as I got engaged to the girl who will be my partner in both ease and hardship. Despite all the pain we are going through, hope always breaks through sorrow to bring light once again. I feel deeply ashamed in the face of the martyrs’…
IDF wants praise for not shooting any civilians for 40 seconds
When you look past the headlines and Hamas’ lies, the truth is clear: Israel is not at war with the people of Gaza. Today, many civilians advance toward the soldiers, the only order given to our troops is: do not engage, do not shoot. Watch the encounter:

See this bread. It alone costs $15 in Gaza after spending an interminable amount of time in a line with others who are starving. How long would this satisfy you for? A few hours? Could it satisfy you for an entire day? Could it satisfy you after spending days hungry before?
بضع رقائق من الخبز .. هذا ما استطعتُ الحصول عليه بعد وقتٍ من الانتظار في طابور الجوع. ثمنها؟ نحو 15 دولارًا — مقابل ما لا يكفي لإشباع طفلٍ جائع… فكيف ببقية العائلة؟ فكيف بمن لا يملك شيئًا ليدفعه أصلًا؟ فكيف بغالبية الشعب الذين لم يصل إليهم الخبز أصلًا؟ فكيف بمن يعيش تحت خيمةٍ…
Quoting @matthew_petti: "Every day we learn that the Arab states have leverage that they’re just not using for Gaza."
Saudi Arabia told the US that Syrian security forces should be allowed to deploy to the country's restive south despite Israeli objections, a US official told Middle East Eye pulse.ly/lluwjdlhkm
As I noted two years ago when Dems voted for Saudi “defensive” weapons, there is no such thing as supporting illegitimate military campaigns with “defensive weapons.” It makes no sense and we know this because no one who claims to do so supports giving Russia or Iran an iron dome
In Nov 2021, when the Biden WH announced it would sell weapons to Saudi Arabia it insisted it was okay because they were "defensive". A HRW report on Saudi deaths squads targeting Ethiopian migrants shows how those "defensive" training and arms were used. columnblog.com/p/biden-admini…

Under a potential deal, Bari Weiss would serve as an "ideological guide of sorts" at CBS News, according to Puck. (paywall) puck.news/was-colberts-c…
This "defensive" aid is what enables Israel to utilize this immense amount of "offensive" aid with impunity. Nonsense difference conjured up to avoid taking responsibility for aiding and abetting the genocide of the Palestinians, in both rhetoric and action.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to…
