🛑 Some reports have speculated a deal on prisoner exchange, meanwhile a Hamas official, Izzat al-Risheq, said:

“Details of a prisoner deal are not final yet. Every time we get close to a result, Netanyahu sabotages everything and delays the deal, lying to all parties.”

guessing this is what happened to the WaPo deal

I just want to say that this community is one of the best I've encountered online. The degree of wholesome effortposting to questions raised by others warms my heart.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel led a mega pro-Palestine march in Havana. Thousands marched in front of the U.S. Embassy calling for a ‘free Palestine’. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel & PM Manuel Marrero led the protests. The protesters marched nearly for 2 kms in front of the U.S. Embassy.

Common Cuba W. I love the flag in the crowd.

It's amazing to me that the Yemenis can just yoink ships in the Red Sea. Djibouti is right there. The American fleet is right there. Are the Americans just doing nothing, or are the Yemenis just running circles around them? Aren't the Israelis screaming at the Americans for not securing the sea routes? Those articles about American paralysis in the middle east - with attack after attack against American bases in Iraq and elsewhere - come to mind. But it's just so hard to fit that into my head. It's like the Hegemon just bricked all of a sudden and Ansarallah helped turn Gaza into a Suez Moment.

Reminder that pro-Israel demonstrations are not protests, they’re terror rallies. They are as much a protest as the Nuremberg Rallies were.

You can’t protest in support of the status quo.

Lebanese Christian actor Rodney Al-Haddad (@Rodney_961) requested Hezbollah say a Christian prayer when they fire at Israel “to feel like I am participating in the battle” and “for the Christian children of Gaza.” So Hezbollah did it.

In my experience, “teaching media literacy” in schools is almost always a poster explaining that you can only trust the New York Times and the Economist because reasons.

It would be good to have an actual media literacy course instead of whatever half-baked unexamined-ideology bomb “reliable sources” class that’s going to actually be implemented.

I remember that bizarre period of 2016 when liberals argued that Universal Healthcare and free public college were bad because they mostly benefitted white men.

Lol like clockwork, my conservative religiously anti-communist family is sending milei edited videos at my family chat. "He's very articulated" is one of the comments 😂 in the video he is blaming everything on socialists, how socialism is a disease, blablabla.

Funny thing is that the video is super edited like he says 4 words when it cuts to another quote. I wonder why!

Replaying my argument with my friend who watches D*stiny from a week ago over in my head and it’s really embarrassing how much psychotic shit I allowed to fly by me because I’m bad at rhetoric.

Bro really said “I bet you all of these people unironically cite that UN resolution that you can violently resist your oppressor” like my brother that is international law you are talking about, this is your rules-based order, do you hear yourself

“No one actually cares about the numbers, it’s just rhetorically useful” ???????????????? I did counter this one with the massive outpouring of citizens probably disagreeing with that but he was like “teens were already going to be pro-Palestine so saying the protests show that is naive”, that’s gibberish.

The whole time he kept trying to steer the conversation around my principles regarding “when is it ok to bomb a hospital” and every time I said “it’s not okay to bomb a hospital and if you do it and you feel you have to do it you deserve to live with the obvious consequences that should come with it (The Hague), there should be no exceptions to judging war criminality” he was like “no one would agree with you, that’s an insane ask, that’s unrealistic”

These motherfuckers are truly on the backfoot rhetorically. I’ve basically given up on convincing him in any way, shape, or form. Recently all I’ve been thinking about regarding that is “his opinion doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things when he’s very clearly outnumbered”

The Times of Isn'trael: In repeat of Mavi Marmara protest, 1,000 boats are reportedly set to leave Turkey for Gaza, Ashdod on Thursday

One thousand boats will reportedly gather in Turkey on Wednesday and head toward Gaza in an attempt to break the Israeli blockade and disrupt maritime trade coming into Israel.

According to the Turkish news website Haber7, the boats will carry 4,500 people from 40 countries, “including anti-Zionist Jews.” Three hundred and thirteen of the boats will be filled with Russian activists, and 104 will be filled with Spanish activists. Only 12 Turkish vessels will join the flotilla.

Volkan Okçu, one of the organizers of the protest, says that the flotilla is scheduled to leave Turkish coasts on Thursday and vowed it will “strictly follow international rules” and will not carry any weapons, so as not to give Israel any “excuse” to intervene. It is set to make a first stop in Cyprus before continuing toward the Israeli port of Ashdod. Some participants in the flotilla will also reportedly take their spouses and children with them.

Mucho basado. Blockade the fucks, close their ports.

For anyone who missed it: last night there were riots in the city centre of Dublin following the stabbing of children outside of a school during the day. The far right assumed that the attacker was an immigrant and began burning buses, trams, police cars and destroying and looting shops. From what I could tell, it was loosely organised and was mostly oppurtunists and fascists looking for an opportunity to attack people. Supposedly the attacker was an immigrant, but had been made an Irish citizen 20 years ago. He was subdued by a Brazilian immigrant. Police were very slow to respond to the rioters, despite them always being organised and showing force whenever a left wing gathering is happening. Group chats were leaked (the veracity of them is unclear), with one particular group chat called "kill all immigrants", and a voice message sent by the owner of the group chat telling people to go out on the streets and kill any immigrants they see.

Supposedly no one was seriously injured during the riots. This shows the serious threat of the far right in Ireland which, while previously extremely small, has been growing rapidly over the past five years. The neoliberal parties in power, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, have done nothing to oppose the growth of these fascists, and instead handed them a silver platter to base their anti-immigrant platform on, that being the housing crisis in Ireland. Fascists have grown more popular mainly due to their insistence that the housing shortage is because of immigrant invasions, white replacement etc, instead of pointing their fingers at the landlords and investors who hoard homes.

On a personal note, its been a kick in the backside for me to get back into organising. My mental health has been atrocious lately so I've been inactive in my org, but clearly no one has the luxury to take breaks anymore.

BREAKING: South Africa’s parliament has just voted to close the Israeli embassy.

where are all the Afrikaners who converted to Judaism to do apartheid 2.0 going to go for their passports now??

It's genuinely fascinating how the BBC has been reporting on the genocide so far, they keep surprising me. This is how they're reporting on South Africa closing the Israeli embassy:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-67482681

The headline reads "Israel recalls its ambassador from South Africa". That South Africa closed Israel's embassy is not mentioned until the fourth paragraph.

The BBC is so bad. It's not like it was even in 2020, it's become so so so bad.

The Argentine election has reminded me why so many in Central America admire Putin and politicians like him. He's a right-winger who's perceived as being a nationalist putting his country first without kissing up to the US or Europe. Many of our right-wingers seem to despise their own country and do everything they can to please the US and EU, often holding second homes in Miami or Madrid.

It's a reason Bukele is annoyingly popular. He postures himself as someone who doesn't let the US control him even though a closer look shows that it's a dubious claim.

Family Remembers ‘Cherished’ Christian Music Teacher, 84, Shot and Left to Die in Gaza Street Amid Israel-Hamas War

When war broke out in Gaza following the horrific surprise attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, Elham, who lived in West Gaza's al-Rimal neighborhood, sought refuge in churches, including Saint Porphyrios, the enclave's largest and oldest Christian house of worship.

When an Israeli airstrike hit the 860-year-old Greek Orthodox church, killing 18 Christian Palestinians, Elham survived the bombing. According to her family, which said another member died in the strike, Elham then moved to the Holy Family Catholic Church in search of safety

But when she grew restless and decided to walk home last week, Elham was shot in the leg without warning [by an Israeli sniper], her family said.

"She fell and she couldn't move so she called relatives back at the church and they panicked and then they called her neighbors to see if they could see her," Hammam said.

"They said everybody can see her, she's out in the open," her nephew continued, "but no one is able to go get her because of the snipers in the area." Elham bled out on the street for days before dying, Hammam said, adding that no ambulance, no aid worker, no one who could help was able to get to her due to fighting in the area.

🚨🇾🇪 Yemeni Armed Forces: — In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Based on religious, national, and ethical responsibilities, considering the "israeli"-American brutal aggression that the Gaza Strip is undergoing, including daily massacres and genocide, in response to the demands of our Yemeni people and the free nations, and in support of our oppressed people in Gaza.

The Yemeni Armed Forces declare that they will target all types of the following ships:

1. Ships carrying the flag of the zionist entity.
2. Ships operated by "israeli" companies.
3. Ships owned by "israeli" companies.

Furthermore, the Yemeni Armed Forces urge all countries of the world to:

• A. Withdraw their citizens working as part of these ships' crews.
• B. Avoid shipping on these ships or dealing with them.
• C. Inform your ships to stay away from these ships.

And Allah is a witness to what we say.

Scott Ritter: Hamas Winning Battle for Gaza

While the ceasefire, negotiated between Israel and Hamas by Qatar, was mutually agreed between the two parties, let no one be fooled into thinking this was anything less than a victory for Hamas. Israel had taken a very aggressive position that, given its stated objective of destroying Hamas as an organization, it would not agree to a ceasefire under any conditions. Hamas, on the other hand, had made one of its primary objectives in initiating the current round of fighting with Israel the release of Palestinian prisoners, and in particular women and children, held by Israel. Seen in this light, the ceasefire represents an important victory for Hamas, and a humiliating defeat for Israel.

One of the reasons Israel eschewed a ceasefire was that it was confident that the offensive operation it had launched into northern Gaza was going to neutralize Hamas as a military threat, and that any ceasefire, regardless of the humanitarian justification, would only buy time for a defeated Hamas enemy to rest, refit, and regroup. That Israel signed on to a ceasefire is the surest sign yet that all is not well with the Israeli offensive against Hamas.

This outcome should not have come as a surprise to anyone. When Hamas launched its October 7 attack on Israel, it initiated a plan years in the making. The meticulous attention to detail that was evident in the Hamas operation underscored the reality that Hamas had been studying the Israeli intelligence and military forces arrayed against it, uncovering weaknesses that were subsequently exploited. The Hamas action represented more than sound tactical and operational planning and execution—it was a masterpiece in strategic conceptualization as well.

One of the main reasons behind the Israeli defeat on October 7 was the fact that the Israeli government was convinced that Hamas would never attack, regardless of what the intelligence analysts charged with watching Hamas activity in Gaza were saying. This failure of imagination came about by Hamas having identified the political goals and objectives of Israel (the nullification of Hamas as a resistance organization by undertaking a policy built on “buying” Hamas through an expanded program of work permits issued by Israel for Palestinians living in Gaza.) By playing along with the work permit program, Hamas lulled the Israeli leadership into complacency, allowing Hamas' preparations for their attack to be carried out in plain view.

...

Hamas knows that it cannot engage Israel in a classic force-on-force encounter. Instead, the goal was to lure Israeli forces into Gaza, and then subject these forces to an endless series of hit-and-run attacks by small teams of Hamas fighters who would emerge from their underground lairs, attack a vulnerable Israeli force, and then disappear back underground. In short, to subject the Israeli military to what is the equivalent of a death by a thousand cuts.

And it worked. While Israeli forces have been able to penetrate into the less urbanized areas of the northern Gaza strip, taking advantage of the mobility and firepower of its armored troops, the progress is illusory, as Hamas forces harry the Israelis continuously, using deadly tandem-warhead rockets to disable or destroy Israeli vehicles, killing scores of Israeli soldiers and wounding hundreds more. While Israel has been reticent in releasing the figures of armored vehicles lost in this fashion, Hamas claims the number is in the hundreds. Hamas' claims are bolstered by the fact that Israel has halted the sale of older Merkava 3 tanks, and instead has organized their inventory of these vehicles into new reserve armor battalions to make up for the heavy losses being sustained in both Gaza and along the northern border with Lebanon, where Hezbollah forces are engaged in a deadly war of attrition with Israel in operations designed to support Hamas in Gaza.

...

While Israel may have been able to garner the support of the international community in the aftermath of the October 7 attack by Hamas, its gross overreaction has instead turned world public opinion against it—something Hamas was counting on. Today, Israel is increasingly isolated, losing support not only in the so-called Global South, but also in traditional strongholds of pro-Israeli sentiment in the US, UK, and Europe. This isolation, combined with the kind of political pressure Israel is unaccustomed to receiving, helped contribute to the Netanyahu government’s acquiescence regarding the ceasefire and subsequent prisoner exchange.

Whether the ceasefire will hold or not remains to be seen. So, too, the question of turning the ceasefire into a lasting cessation of hostilities remains an open question. But one thing is certain—having declared that victory is defined by Hamas’ total defeat, the Israelis have set the stage for a Hamas victory, something Hamas achieves simply by surviving.

But Hamas is doing more than surviving — it is winning. Having fought the Israel Defense Forces to a standstill on the battlefield, Hamas has seen every one of its strategic objectives in this conflict reach fruition. The world is actively articulating the absolute necessity of a two-state solution as a prerequisite for a lasting peace in the region. Palestinians held prisoner by Israel are being exchanged for the Israelis Hamas took hostage. And the Islamic world is united in condemning Israel’s desecration of the Al Aqsa Mosque.

None of these issues were on the table on October 6. That they are being addressed now is testament to the success Hamas enjoyed on October 7, and in the days and weeks that followed, as Israeli forces were defeated by a combination of Hamas' tenacity and their own predilection for indiscriminate violence against civilians. Far from being eliminated as a military and political force, Hamas has emerged as perhaps the most relevant voice and authority when it comes to defending the interests of the Palestinian people.

I do also want to apologize here for previous statements I made a month or so ago about how prisoner-swaps are kinda meaningless because Israel can just arrest a bunch more Palestinians. While that is true, it ignores that at least some of these prisoners are very important. A few of the current higher-ups of Hamas, including its current head, came from these prisoner swaps in the past.
