There is something morbidly funny to me in the Zionist line that Yahya Sinwar "died like a dog." Basically just confessing that they regularly kill dogs using drone surveillance and tank shells.

It never looks quite good to compare the killing of your enemies to killing a dog, but if you're gonna use it it needs to be embarrassing for the victim and not your own side, like death by starvation or just plain execution.

"Israel" is trying to pass a bill to completely ban UNRWA. The bill will very likely be adopted.

All the analysts are saying that Israel's attack on Iran failed. They had 100 airplanes in the air.

Iranian air defense (with the help of Russia) is really good. Better than Israel's. And Iran also has better missiles as well!

Tim Walz Plays Crazy Taxi with AOC

I see Walz is going to get the very important Dreamcast Vote. Can't wait to see trump play Simpsons Road Rage now.

So what I'm getting from the latest elections (clarify if i missed anything) is that

• Georgia's generic regional post-soviet center-right big tent party kept its majority but also was possibly pulling nixon shit but also going up against an opposition that desperately wants to pull another color revolution with a little cia moolah, too much of a mess for me to sort out
• LDP got fucked as we all know, afaik it'll be succeeded by a coalition between the half-dozen center-left parties and center-right libertarian Osakans
• Bulgaria elected basically the exact same parliament as last time, the bitter rivalries the three identical center-right parties and their justified reluctance to team up with the four fascist parties means they're gonna have to do this again in a few months, one must imagine sisyphus happy etc
• Despite the loss of their most hitlerite faction, the lithuanian succdems are able to keep their coalition with two(?!) agrarian conservative succdem parties
• Demsocs seem likely to win the Uruguayan presidency but we've gotta wait another month for the second round
• Uzbekistan had elections too but all the parties were on good enough terms with their own generic regional post-soviet center-right big tent party for no one to care

One of these structures, known as Taleghan 2, has been previously linked to Iran’s nuclear programme by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)

BBC Verify has identified what appears to be damage to a storage unit at the Abadan Oil Refinery based in the south-western province of Khuzestan.

Apparently Israel did (kinda sorta, but not really) strike oil and nuclear sites? Seems kinda like an "I'm not touching you" thing, with minor targets being chosen to avoid serious implications.

Really cool article about student resistance organizing written by a Palestinian former political prisoner about martyr-scholar-fighter Jihad Mughniyeh.

Between Two Fields: Jihad Mughniyeh, the Student Fighter by Fairouz Salameh

Excerpt:

The university was a necessity for him, and his perception of its role is clear in his statement: “There is an abundance of weapons, but the problem is in the person who will stand behind it; the battle today is a battle of minds, weapons, and technology. If we are not educated, who will carry the weapon? Who will develop this weapon and who will develop and keep up with technology? And who will represent the resistance in conferences and on media platforms? As resistance and liberation movements, we need individuals from various fields, just like those who fight with weapons on the front, so being in university is part of my mission in the liberation movement I belong to, whether the Islamic Resistance or others.”

Mughniyeh embodied the unity of words and actions, living out the principles he espoused. His call for “educated people who work” was not mere rhetoric; he led by example, excelling both in his studies and in resistance activities. He frequently reminded his peers, “I’m not telling you what you should do, but what we all must do. And I’ll be the first among you to do it.” This consistency set Mughniyeh apart and drew others to him, as his relationships were built on a foundation of fraternal camaraderie.

Mughniyeh built his relationships on a solid foundation of trust and honesty, building enduring bonds rather than passing acquaintanceships during a temporary stage. He dedicated most of his time to students, engaging with them both on and off campus, during and after class hours. His goal was to forge a sustained movement rather than just an administrative framework for student activism. While many of his university peers were solely focused on academic pursuits, Mughniyeh centered his efforts on the resistance cause, particularly the Palestinian struggle. Palestine was a constant theme in every gathering or discussion he held with his peers. During a 2011 session with students, as Mughniyeh mourned his father with tears, he realized he was mourning in the wrong way. He understood that true mourning and loyalty were not expressed through grief alone, but through actual fieldwork, of which he saw student activism as one of its noblest forms. Mughniyeh often shared this personal story with his fellow students, using it to strengthen their connection with those who had become martyrs, whether they had a direct relationship to them or not. His message was clear: honoring the martyrs meant activating their role within the resistance movement for which the martyrs had made these sacrifices.

Death to America

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/26/dozens-killed-by-paramilitary-rsf-in-sudans-gezira-aid-groups-say

Dozens of civilians have been killed and thousands displaced in Sudan’s Gezira state, aid groups said, after several days of attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has been battling the army for more than a year. In an interview with The AP on Friday, Chaiban said the war has created “one of the most acute crises in living memory” with more than 14 million people forced to flee their homes, plunging Sudan into the world’s largest displacement crisis.“ We’ve never in a generation seen these types of numbers,” he said. About 25.6 million people – more than half of Sudan’s population – are expected to face acute hunger this year due to the conflict.

The west's favorite 1 party state that had to become a 2 party state since 2009 has now been forced to become a 3 party state

Denmark’s Air Force is unable to meet NATO's demand for troop transport due to a shortage of operational EH101 helicopters, and has seen itself forced to prioritize domestic search-and-rescue missions instead. With outdated equipment and maintenance delays due to parts shortages, Denmark can barely sustain its own search-and-rescue capabilities, let alone fulfill ever-increasinsing NATO demands. Major General Jan Dam has highlighted the strain on the Air Force, stressing the difficulty in maintaining even minimal operations with the aging fleet.
