reminder that the coward zionist Bernie Sanders has used the word "genocide" both for Russia's attempts to stop Ukraine's ethnic cleansing of the Donbas and proxy war of NATO encroachemnt, and about China's supposed treatment of the Uyghurs, but still has not done so for the disgusting livestreamed genocide happening in Occupied Palestine. I expect that when he finally stops defending zionism will be when he dies and then I will spit on his grave. also I want my donations back you scumbag

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine leader Marwan Abdel-Al to L'Humanité:

“The so-called two-state solution conference is not so much a peace initiative as it is a recycling of a political illusion that reality has surpassed. The conference, in format and timing, resembles an official funeral for a solution that no longer exists except in diplomatic statements. What is being presented today under the title of “two-state solution” does not constitute a project for liberation, but rather a permanent management of a colonial tragedy.

Europe, including France, may now theoretically recognize a Palestinian state, but in reality, it finances coexistence projects with the occupation, funded the war—being the mother of the nuclear bomb—and avoids any real measures against settlements, the siege, or stopping the genocide.

Palestinians do not need more words, but clear political action: recognition of a sovereign, independent state, the removal of the occupation, and an end to Western colonial partnerships with the "israeli" apartheid regime.

The real solution begins with changing the balance of power on the ground. Our people want an end to the occupation... not an international absolution.

Most Palestinians—especially the new generation—have come to consider this solution a political trap. How can one speak of “two states” when there are projects of annihilation, ethnic cleansing, annexation, and expansion, and there are more than 700,000 settlers in the West Bank?

Where is the state in the shadow of a wall that separates families, and with crossings managed at the whim of occupation soldiers?

We are not demanding a symbolic entity under "israeli" sovereignty; rather, we want real liberation, the right of return, and historical justice.

The majority of Palestinians, at home and in the diaspora, have come to see it as an illusion. How can we talk about "two states"? The issue has moved beyond symbolic recognition to a question of justice, the right of return, and the dismantling of the apartheid system.

The Palestine Liberation Organization is the product of a national experience and the foundation of Palestinian national action, and its pandemic stems from this basis.

[What is the alternative?] The alternative is the dismantling of the colonial system from its roots. The alternative is not a ready-made recipe, but a long liberatory path. It begins, however, with the recognition that Israel is not a "democratic" state but a colonial regime, as happened in South Africa. We do not reject the "two-state solution" because we are radicals, but because it is no longer viable.

The alternative is a single democratic state on the entire land, where all people are equal without religious or ethnic discrimination. Or, at the very least, a liberation framework that opens the door to all options, far from the logic of "peace in exchange for submission."

Palestine today is a mirror to the world: between international law and the force of arms, between the victim and propaganda. Standing with Palestine is a test of human conscience, not just a political stance. We do not want the colonial system to use the proposal of a two-state solution to whitewash its record or its inaction. This requires the French left to free itself from the pressure of the dominant imperialist media or the fear of moral blackmail. We expect the left to reclaim its radical language: to say that what is happening in Palestine is not a conflict, but settler-colonialism and systematic genocide. And to stand with the truth without a false equivalence between the murderer and the victim. There is no neutrality in the face of genocide.

We are not asking for emotional solidarity, but for political and moral commitment. Palestine today is not just the cause of a people being slaughtered, but a universal issue in which our humanity is being tested.

If Palestine falls, international standards and justice fall with it. From Paris to Gaza, the battle is one: against fascism and the new racism, and against the colonial memory that has not yet died.”

August 1, 2025.

The recent rants of Dmitry Medvedev, ex President and Prime Minister of Russia, and current deputy head of the security council. Medvedev has been Putin's right hand man since the 1990s, for over three decades, this is why what he says matters to an extent. Russia uses Medvedev's social media posts and ramblings to portray more controversial (and sometimes straight up outrageous) opinions, allowing Putin to avoid the flak, and allowing for these posts to be seperate from official government statements. A "good cop bad cop" strategy, if you will. Medvedev's not just a random shit poster, though you'd be forgiven for thinking that, given just how out there some of his statements are. Up until now, no one has taken what he's said completely seriously, because of the above. But that's changed.

Medvedev, July 15th, in response to Trump's press conference with NATO leader Rutte on Twitter:

Trump issued a theatrical ultimatum to the Kremlin. The world shuddered, expecting the consequences. Belligerent Europe was disappointed. Russia didn’t care.

The usual type of thing you'd expect from him. But Medvedev's tone changed abruptly two days later, July 17th, in a TASS interview. Turns out Russia did actually care, and Medvedev starts talking about pre-emptive strikes:

"We [Russia] need to act accordingly. To respond in full. And if necessary, launch preemptive strikes [against NATO]. What is happening today is a proxy war, but in essence it is a full-scale war (launches of Western missiles, satellite intelligence, etc.), sanctions packages, loud statements about the militarisation of Europe".

On July 28th, when Trump announced a 10 day deadline for a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, Medvedev took to Twitter again:

Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10… He should remember 2 things:

1. Russia isn't Israel or even Iran.
2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don't go down the Sleepy Joe road!

And in response to Lindsey Graham:

It's not for you or Trump to dictate when to 'get at the peace table'. Negotiations will end when all the objectives of our military operation have been achieved. Work on America first, gramps!

Medvedev then took to his personal Telegram to issue a thinly veiled nuclear threat, with regards to a second strike this time:

About Trump's threats against me on his personal network Truth, which he banned from operating in our country

If some words of the former president of Russia cause such a nervous reaction from the whole so formidable president of the USA, it means that Russia is right in everything and will continue to go its way.

And about India and Russia's "dead economy" and "entering dangerous territory" - well, let him remember his favourite Walking Dead movies and how dangerous a non-existent "dead hand"😂 can be.

In reference to the Perimeter/Dead Hand nuclear weapons control system in Russia, designed to launch Russia's ICBMs even if all command centres are taken out, by detecting radiation from a first strike on Russia. It's speculated to be both operational in a semi automatic mode, where a commander must first activate/switch on the system, and after that it can operate in a fully automatic mode, operating without the need of human intervention to launch ICBMs. Medvedev could be hinting that the system is in high alert mode/operating fully automatically at the moment, or threatening to put it in such a mode.

Trump and the United States have, for the first time, chosen to take Medvedev seriously and at his word, and have publicly announced that two Ohio Class Ballistic Missile Submarines are currently patrolling with Russia in mind , via Trump on Truth Social.

Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Each Ohio Class SSBN can carry 24 Trident II SLBMs each, with either 8 high yield nuclear warheads (475kt W88) per Trident II, or 12 lower yield warheads (5-100kt W76, depending on variant) per Trident II. Under the NEW START treaty, the SSBNs were limited to 20 Trident IIs each, and averaged around 4 warheads per Trident II. But Russia withdrew NEW START in 2023, neither Russia or the United States are obligated to follow it as of now, and it's set to expire in February 2026. The submarines were likely already there beforehand, the US has 4 SSBNs on patrol at any time. Trump's statement just serves as a very public reminder. Russia is not the only country that can play this game in the media with thinly veiled nuclear threats, and mentioning pre-emptive and second strike capabilitiy, is what Trump is trying to say.

BREAKING: Permission granted for a full judicial review of the Home Secretary's decision to proscribe Palestine Action.

If the legal challenge is successful, the ban would be quashed and rendered unlawful.

This is a significant win against the state.

So the trade "deal" between the EU and the United States is naked capitulation, no doubt about it. America gets 15% tariffs on goods coming from the EU, the EU drops tariffs entirely on American goods like cars, and pledges to spend hundreds of billions on American weaponry (which it was already doing because of Trump's "5% of GDP" NATO push earlier in the year) and some other hundreds of billions on undefined "American investments." But surprise surprise, this "deal" was negotiated between Trump and von der Leyen, the ostensible "head" of the EU but not the head of any one nation state, and she basically just admitted that that $600 billion investment the "EU" is promising is just smoke and mirrors.

The European Union has admitted it doesn’t have the power to deliver on a promise to invest $600 billion in the United States economy, only hours after making the pledge at landmark trade talks in Scotland. That’s because the cash would come entirely from private sector investment over which Brussels has no authority, two EU officials said.

“It is not something that the EU as a public authority can guarantee. It is something which is based on the intentions of the private companies,” said one of the senior Commission officials. The Commission has not said it will introduce any incentives to ensure the private sector meets that $600 billion target, nor given a precise timeframe for the investment.

So basically, like the deal with Japan, the EU is "promising" to invest a shit ton of money but there's no mechanism to ensure or even outline that investment, and I would be shocked if it ends up investing even a fraction of that outside of the existing arms deals. Obviously a capitulation to their imperial overlords, but perhaps not as bad as the deal initially looked.

Why is the starvation of Gaza the pivotal point for these western liberal democracies and not the genocidal rhetoric, bombing, and annihilation beforehand?

Is it because the starvation is more apparent an act of sadism than simply immolating civilian population through bombings?

Report suggests arms still flow from Canada to Israel despite denials

Edit:

Link to the report itself. Plus some highlights:

While former Foreign Affairs Minister Joly and Prime Minister Trudeau, as well as current Prime Minister Mark Carney have repeatedly insisted that Canada has restricted arms exports to Israel, this report uncovers:

47 shipments with detailed commercial shipping records uncovered from manufacturers in Canada selling military-related components to Israeli weapons companies between October 2023 and July 2025;

421,070 bullets exported to Israel since the Gaza assault began, including one shipment in April 2025 alone containing 175,000 bullets;

Three shipments of cartridges from a General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS) facility in Repentigny, Quebec, including one that occurred nine days after the then-Foreign Affairs Minister publicly pledged that Canada would block munitions exports from the same Quebec company to the Israeli military;

391 shipments including bullets, military equipment, weapons parts, aircraft components, and communication devices exported from Canada to Israel between October 2023 and June 2025, according to data from the Israeli Tax Authority (ITA) - representing only a portion of total exports;

Shipments from seven Canadian cities destined primarily for Israel’s largest weapons company Elbit Systems and its subsidiaries, along with other Israeli defence firms including Elta Systems, WaldyTech, Snunit Aviation and NIRON Systems;

Around 100 international flights transporting Canadian components to Israel – 64 of them commercial passenger flights where military cargo was loaded beneath civilian travelers on routes through Frankfurt, Paris, New York, Abu Dhabi, and New Delhi.

The Russian Tsars did a great deal that was bad. They robbed and enslaved the people. They waged wars and seized territories in the interests of landowners. But they did one thing that was good – they amassed an enormous state, all the way to Kamchatka. We have inherited that state. And, for the first time, we, the Bolsheviks, have consolidated and strengthened that state as a united and indivisible state, not in the interests of the landowners and the capitalists, but for the benefit of the workers, of all the peoples that make up that state. We have united the state in such a way that if any part were isolated from the common socialist state, it would not only inflict harm on the latter but would be unable to exist independently and would inevitably fall under foreign subjugation.

~ Stalin, The Diary of Georgi Dimitrov, 1933-1949

Mark Carney says Canada will recognize Palestine as a country only if they hold Hamas-less elections by the end of 2026 and completely demilitarize. I would compare this to apartheid bantustans but at least those didn’t have half their de jure territory blocked off from them by their overlords

Things are great for the US economy at the moment:

"May’s estimated 144,000 net gain [in jobs] was revised down by 125,000 to 19,000; and June’s preliminary tally of 147,000 was slashed by 133,000 to 14,000, according to data released Friday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics ... the meager job gains in June were the weakest since December 2020, the last time the labor market had monthly job losses. The pace of job creation seen so far this year is the weakest in decades, outside of recessions ... Health care and social assistance, which added 73,300 jobs, accounted for the entirety of [July]’s gains."

I'm sure the big beautiful bill's cuts to health care and social services will make things even better

Starmer says UK will recognize Palestinian state unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire

Kid Starver might have satiated his hunger for staring at starving kids

So why are multiple countries, including Qatar (where much of Hamas' civil leadership is currently located), Egypt, the UK, France and other EU member states suddenly putting out statements or making UN statements about recognising a Palestinian Authority led Palestine State, with Gaza demilitirised and Hamas surrendering all power?

I think it's because of the latest Israeli ultimatum, according to Israeli sources. These sources have said that if Hamas do not sign the "60 day ceasefire", Israel will formally annex parts of Gaza, speculated to be the so called "buffer zone" first, followed by the rest of Gaza if no agreement is reached. The Israeli plan is obviously supported by the United States, if the US didn't come up with it themselves. There's speculated to be a 48 hour countdown on this, which started at 14:00 UTC, July 29th. It's currently 01:00 UTC, July 31st, so 35 hours have passed. This means that Israel, if they're going to follow through on this, will have to announce the plan sometime on July 31st. This would explain all the statements on recognising a Palestinian state sans Hamas that have come out over the past days, both a last ditch effort to pressure Hamas into signing the 60 day ceasefire/surrender (especially in the case of Qatar) to avoid the formal annexation being triggered, and as a way for some western European countries to wash their hands clean of the potential upcoming formal annexation of Gaza, as they won't officially recognise it.

I could obviously be very wrong here, this is speculation. But the timeline is very coincidental. It also lines up with the September 2025 part of the Palestinian recognition. If a 60 day ceasefire is signed on July 31st, it would last until 29 September.

Why is a formal annexation different from current and previous Israeli military occupation? To reverse/undo annexation, two thirds of the Israeli parliament must vote in favour of it's reversal (80/120 seats) or a national referendum must vote in favour of reversal, according to past precedent. The military or Netanyahu can't just decide to withdraw if annexation goes forward, any withdrawal or reversal will require large political alignment.

Instead the people of Gaza are subjected to another layer of humiliation. Its truly endless the layers of depravity of the us-israeli.
