"Trump wants RICO charges [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations] against CODEPINK looked into, after D.C. restaurant protest"
"At the restaurant peace activists got surprisingly close to Trump and cabinet members" They shouted: “Free DC, free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our time” and got thrown out

Now Trump is planning revenge. He's using organised crime laws to suppress free speech. Desperate.

On how Israel loves to shoot itself in the foot. This is so absurd..
"The Israeli government has gone fully ballistic and threatened the funding of Israel’s own national film awards, the ‘Ophirs’, after a film about a Palestinian boy – The Sea – won the ‘Best Feature Film’ prize"
Just because it shows a bit of apartheid in it, and doesn't praise the IOF. The film is Hamas obviously.

On Wednesday, a Louisiana immigration judge’s order to deport Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil to either Syria or Algeria was made public.

The order by Judge Jamee Comans is a significant escalation of the Trump administration’s efforts to criminalize free speech and target opponents of the Gaza genocide for removal from the US...

The ruling is notable for its transparent political purpose. Trump administration immigration authorities are pursuing a vendetta against Khalil who has no criminal record and has steadfastly refused to be intimidated.

Israel is “falsifying claims” of Palestinian rape against Israelis on 7 October 2023 to “to justify a further genocide” in Gaza, a groundbreaking new report says.

Published by the Sexual Violence Prevention Association this week, the report documents how Israel is deploying “wartime rape propaganda” and the “weaponization of sexual violence as a tool of war” in Palestine.

The report deploys a framework the group has dubbed SORVO – Systemic Oppression, Reverse Victim and Offender: “a tactic employed by oppressive groups to weaponize sexual violence, and accusations thereof, to justify their oppression.”

Omny Miranda Martone, the report’s lead author, said, “I am seeing SORVO employed against Palestinians every single day. We cannot allow Israel and the US government to use sexual violence to justify genocide.”

The report details how Israel has created a false narrative of Palestinian rapists as a way to both cover up the reality that Israeli soldiers are raping Palestinian detainees and as a way to justify their genocide in Gaza.

Some observations from RT. I believe these are correct

"Trump’s slogan “peace through strength” has reached its purest form in Israel. The decades-old fiction of a two-state solution...has collapsed"
"Israel today calculates only in terms of force. Collateral damage and diplomatic fallout do not enter the equation"
"The moral argument that once shielded Israel is also eroding"

Communique from the Qassam Brigade, Hamas's military wing, addressed to Israel

"You are entering a harsh war of attrition that will cost you additional numbers of dead and prisoners. We have trained our fighters to place explosive devices inside the cabins of your vehicles, and your bulldozers will be prime targets for our fighters and a reason for increasing the number of prisoners we hold"
"...it is a jihad of victory or martyrdom"

"South African union SAFTU urges boycotts, divestment, and global solidarity, citing rising trade with Tel Aviv amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza"
"...SAFTU criticized what it called “double-speak” by South Africa and other BRICS members, pointing to rising trade with the Israeli occupation"

That's also true of many EU countries that say they recognise Palestine as a state, condemn genocide but keep trading with Israel. Which is it?

Israel army says it will use ‘unprecedented force’ in Gaza City and urges residents to leave

And none of the freaking "world" leaders are standing up to them except #Spain (kind of) and Brazil.

PS. September is almost over, what happened to all the assholes who said they would recognize "Palestine" in September?

I don't know if there is a better place to post this, but let's make this the biggest demonstration for Gaza in the history of Germany.

What was left of an Israeli military jeep after Palestinian resistance fighters blew it up, killing all 4 IOF war criminals on it.

This happened in Rafah, where Israel says it has full control of what is used to be Rafah city (it is all flattened to earth).

Fucking coward

#Pope Leo XIV has said on 18 Sept. that the #Vatican is not ready to label Israel’s campaign in Gaza #genocide, stressing that “officially, the Holy See does not believe that we can make any declaration at this time about that.”

“The word genocide is being thrown around more & more, There’s a very technical definition about what genocide might be, but more & more people are raising the issue.”
