    Palestinian American journalist Rami Khouri responds to the latest exchange of fire between Israel and Hezbollah and the drawn-out ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, which Khouri calls a “fictitious political dynamic” that is primarily used as diplomatic cover for Israel’s warfare. “The ceasefire talks should not be taken very seriously as an effort to bring about a ceasefire,” he says. “It’s pretty clear now that the ceasefire negotiations today are the equivalent of the so-called peace process in the bigger Arab-Israeli conflict over the last 40 years.”

      What they told Neanjahi was: _"Here´s 20 billion more, mountains of bombs and continued protection of your airspace by our fleet - also our congress will stand up and applaud your blatant lies 53 times in 60 minutes and we will protect everything you do in the UN."_

      - Shielding them from any UN action by dozens of vetoes.

      "it had been going on long before the 1973 Arab-Israeli War was a watershed for U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East. It forced the Nixon administration to realize that Arab frustration over Israel's unwillingness to withdraw from the territories it had occupied in 1967 could have major strategic consequences for the United States intentions toward its Middle East control and toward Russia... The war thus paved the way for Secretary of State Henry Kissinger’s “shuttle diplomacy”...
      For Nixon, such reasoning was reinforced by a desire to avoid a crisis in U.S.-Israeli relations before the 1972 presidential elections."

    The US keeps claiming progress has been made in talks for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, it keeps funding and arming Israel’s war machine against the people of Gaza, and it also helps Tel Aviv maintain and strengthen the all-out siege on the Palestinian territory.
    Now, alongside the everyday bombings, the weaponized starvation and the lack of medicine and necessities, Gazans face the threat of a Polio virus outbreak.

If we don't the genocide may continue under Trump it may not, but we will have signaled that AIPAC doesn't own our votes and if they line their paychecks they better start working for the voters.

      Easy solution: admit Israel is a failed experiment and disband it. They had 75 years to learn to live in peace with their neighbours but was too busy assassinating the people they didn't like, sanctioning and meddling in their neighbours politics to deserve any more chances. Anyone who moved there since 1948 is an immigrant - not a native. They should be funded to go back or to whichever country they want who will take them.

But I suppose you are closer to the camp that support hamas so you don't actually care for dead palestinians at a humanitarian level but rather want to use them to virtue signal online. Also "Israel said they wont deal with hamas" is a worthless talking point given that they were dealing with hamas prior to hamas withdrawing from the talks. But I suppose you just live in quotes rather than in the reality of what is actually taking place and will do whatever mental gymnastics necessary to support hamas.

For what it has cost the people of Gaza, Hamas should be out of power there. Gaza should apply to be an Egyptian or Jordanian territory and get on with reconstruction and building a decent life on their strip of waterfront property.

    1 of 2. This is how you always need to vote:*
    We must fully criticize and _always vote_ *against* (& less authoritarian than) both the Republican *and* Democratic Parties- including *Tim Walz, Kamala Harris,* AOC, all of the squad, Bernie Sanders, Edward Markey, Mark Pocan, the justice democrats, & all other democrats. Vote in every single election- at all levels. And also _endorse or anti-endorse,_ in all elections you can, for outside your voting jurisdiction.
    For _all_ public positions. And this same strategy applies against the one or more party-monopolies in _all_ countries worldwide.
    Real progressives will never be Democratic Members or Democratic loyalists. Never vote for _any_ Republican member or loyalist either.
    If no candidates for a position fit that bill:
    -Where _write-ins_ are permissible, always write-in an anti-authoritarian person;
    -Where write-ins aren’t permissible, always vote uncommitted or leave the ballot blank.
    This will continuously reduce the power of _all_ authoritarian parties in the party monopolies: Until our task is complete.
    Repeat strategy for all new authoritarian parties that emerge.

    Imagine being surrounded by seven aggressive bullies who have attacked you countless times, and knowing that the last time you were defenseless, it led to your near destruction. Now, consider that all these bullies have sworn to eliminate you, and you ask if it makes sense not to defend yourself. Israel, unlike these nations, has always extended a hand for peace, despite its limitations.
    In the Arab world, there are virtually no Jewish minorities left, while in Israel, there are many minorities with equal rights. The Palestinian leadership has openly vowed to dismantle our state, and yet, you support this aggression, blinded by your own biases. When the day comes that the Arab world lays down its arms, there will be peace. If Israel were to lay down its arms, it would face annihilation-this is the harsh reality that is often overlooked.
    We have no other place to go. We are a small minority living on our historical land. We sincerely wish for peace, but we are being backed into a corner. The hatred toward Jews started long before the occupation or any other issue. It's crucial to understand the complexities of this situation and recognize that the survival of our people is at stake.

    *2 of 2. This is how you always need to vote:*
    We must fully criticize and _always vote_ *against* (& less authoritarian than) both the Democratic *and* Republican Parties- including *Trump,* RFK Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, Rand Paul (He’s _no_ Ron Paul), Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Ron Johnson, and all other Republicans. Vote in every single election- at all levels. And also _endorse or anti-endorse,_ in all elections you can, for outside your voting jurisdiction.
    For _all_ public positions. And this same strategy applies against the same one or more party-monopolies in _all_ countries worldwide.
    Real libertarians will never be Republicans or Republican loyalists. Never vote for _any_ Democratic member or loyalist either.
    If no candidates for a position fit that bill:
    -Where _write-ins_ are permissible, always write-in an anti-authoritarian person;
    -Where write-ins aren’t permissible, always vote uncommitted or leave the ballot blank.
    This will continuously reduce the power of _all_ authoritarian parties in the party monopolies: Until our task is complete.
    Repeat strategy for all new authoritarian parties that emerge.

      @@anthonyweller3077 Always make sure you vote _less authoritarian_ than all Democratic and Republican party members. Even the Green Party is more authoritarian because they raise taxes for the military industrial complex and the prison industrial complex. Cornel West is the same here, don’t vote for him. And Bernie Sanders is even worse here, never vote for him.
      Taxes can never be raised- we need to instead focus on shifting money away from the military industrial complex and away from the prison industrial complex.
      This is the strategy for the working class, and would clearly be sanctioned by *Peter Kropotkin* himself.
