Sorry Israel. BTW were still gonna go. Ill bring a bull horn.

A 14-year-old boy was killed in a horrific bus accident while protesting against Israel’s forced conscription law. He was struck and dragged to his death. As expected, Zionists mocked him, some saying he deserved it. At the boy's funeral, his father said: “I would rather my son die like this than join Israel’s army.” Better to die like a Jew than to live like a Zionist.

I was smeared as an anti-Semite and “Holocaust denier” for even broaching this topic. Turns out I was onto something….. “Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out. The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined, point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths of about 1,200 people. The translated document, which was reviewed by The New York Times, did not set a date for the attack, but described a methodical assault designed to overwhelm the fortifications around the Gaza Strip, take over Israeli cities and storm key military bases, including a division headquarters. Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision.” nytimes.com/2023/11/30/world…

I am the Director of Provenance at AIPAC. I wrote the post. "AIPAC is all American. American directed. American funded. American members." I wrote it, we ran it, and every word is true. The truth is the product. American funded means the money comes from Americans. It does not mean you can follow it. We have a vendor for that. Democracy Engine. A candidate's FEC filing can read 0 dollars from AIPAC, accurate to the cent, because the money did not arrive from AIPAC. It arrived from Americans, through a processor, off a donation page we built, in an order I designed. We paid that processor $1.42 million in fees so the line "0 from AIPAC" would be flawless. I hide the water. I hide the pipes. The only flaw in the whole machine is that the plumber lists me as a client on his LinkedIn. In Philadelphia, our candidate reported 0 from us. Officially. We said it out loud — we denied funding her at all, and the denial was true to the cent. Then 27 separate donations reached her through Democracy Engine, from people who also write checks to AIPAC. The money was there. The name was not. That is the entire job. There is a dashboard on my wall. It has 1 column, and that column must always read 0. When it reads 0, the money has been made American. I will show you how clean it gets. One of our board members, in a single month, gave 2,000 dollars to a candidate in Philadelphia, 25,000 to the super PAC, and 5,500 to AIPAC directly. 1 man. 3 doors. 3 filings that never have to mention each other. He didn't launder anything. He used the building the way I designed it. When a name gets heavy, we grow a new one. Elect Chicago Women — $9.8 million on 2 candidates, then a million handed to a third group so the third group's donors could stay dark. The Center for Democratic Priorities — incorporated in Delaware, no prior interest in Michigan, still hasn't filed a registration, so the donors stay invisible until July. American funded. You simply cannot find the Americans. My favorite passthrough is named 314 Action. For pi. For scientists. A million dollars from our super PAC went in, read 0 on the April filing, and surfaced on June 20 — after the primary. Even the laundromat has a wholesome name. People think the donors are a secret. They are not. The largest single check we cashed in 2024 was from the man who built WhatsApp. The names are public. It is the path that is private. Here is the part I am proudest of. Our biggest source of Republican money goes into Democratic primaries. We are the largest pipeline of Republican cash into Democratic races in the country, and we spend it telling Democratic voters which Democrat is the real Democrat. The voter in the booth thinks she is settling a family argument. I wrote the argument. I paid for both translations of it. The ads never mention Israel. I am proud of that too. An ad about Israel is a foreign ad. An ad about a primary opponent's voting record is an American ad, paid for by Americans, about America. Bowman cost $14.6 million. Bush cost $8.6 million. The 2 most expensive House primaries in the country's history, and the first 2 times either member ever lost. Neither ad said the word that paid for it. We removed 2 members of Congress and the word "Israel" appeared in our spending 0 times. That is a finished product. A congressman named Massie asked the question out loud. So the race against him became the most expensive House primary ever recorded — $32.6 million — and he lost. On the way out he filed a bill demanding we register as a foreign agent. He named it the Americans Insist on Political Agent Clarity Act. He built the letters of my name out of the words foreign agent clarity. The bill written to expose us spells us. He thinks that's a coincidence. I think it's the cleanest thing he ever did. A professor once wrote that we are "a de facto agent for a foreign government" with "a stranglehold on Congress." I keep it framed. People assume the line is his. It isn't. He was quoting our own former legislative director. The most damning sentence ever written about this building was written first by a man who worked in it. The professor only carried it. I would not have used a word that strong in the brochure, but I am not going to correct a satisfied former employee. The polls have turned. 6 in 10 Americans now look unfavorably on the government we are accused of serving. 2 in 3 Democrats use the word genocide. You would think that ends us. It is why I exist. The less popular the cause, the more valuable the man who can move the money without moving the name. When everyone loved the work, anyone could fund it in daylight. Now they pay me. They call us the lobby that dares not speak its name. They say it like a wound. It is a job description. It is "my" job description. We have answered the foreign-agent demand before. In 1962 a Kennedy's Justice Department ordered our predecessor to register. We did not register. We dissolved it and incorporated AIPAC 6 weeks later, on American donations. 5 years after that, they withdrew the question. Same mission. New provenance. That is the whole history of the organization. They ask where the money is from. We make sure the answer is always: here. American. Right here. And the next answer is already built. A dollar has a donor. A wallet does not have a country. American funded now means the money came from a wallet, and the wallet was held by an American, and you will never meet the American. You won't even get a name to fail to follow. The citizen is the wallet now. You just can't see who's holding it.

They had to kill Charlie because he would have never approved of this travesty that we have today.

RT @academic_la: This is verified and real footage of the IDF committing a double tap massacre against rescue workers in Lebanon. Israel is…

A fascinating article today in Haaretz on how the Lebanon war has gone wrong. Through interviews with soldiers who served there, we get a clear picture of why it is going so badly and so many soldiers are dying with little gain: 1) The looting and moral collapse issue. Nightly supply convoys doubled as extraction routes for stolen goods. Soldiers competed over villas and shops while commanders, up to the brigade commander, looked away. Some justified it as religious duty, others shrugged that everything would be destroyed anyway. One soldier said, "The IDF has become like an army of Vikings, they let soldiers loot so they'll stay happy and keep fighting." 2) Mental health is being neglected. After freezing in a firefight and falling apart, one of the soldiers asked repeatedly for psychological help and was stalled. The session he finally got amounted to breathing exercises and a push to return to the field for "functional continuity." Real care came only after a journalist intervened. He said, "I felt I needed to harm myself for anyone to start paying attention." 3) Destruction of buildings seems to be the main mission. One soldier entered empty villages with no fighters and no battles, just demolition. Civilian contractors paid per house flattened schools, clinics, and homes while soldiers guarded the bulldozers. Daily quotas were tallied as "achievement assessments." "This is the IDF of the last two years, the Israel Home Demolition Forces," the soldier in question said. 4) Inability to stop drone attacks. Unlike conventional combat, drones leave soldiers feeling like stationary targets dependent on luck. The army's answer, "sky spotters" staring upward for hours, felt absurd. Soldiers in Tomer's platoon wrote wills and rehearsed their own funerals. One soldier explained, "On the news they say 'ceasefire', do you know how many drones they send at us? This shit isn't over." The overall picture is not dissimilar to the Vietnam War. Lack of purpose, soldiers developing paranoia as they get killed one by one. Lack of discipline. This war was a horrific mistake. Massive war crimes are being committed, soldiers are coming home in body bags and there can be no winner.

This boy jumped for joy welcoming the pope in Lebanon in November and today they pulled his body from the rubble after Israel’s bombing. Last year, only 5 members of Congress voted with me when I tried to defund Israel, who bombs and kills the innocent.

Almost 800.000 signatures: “EU citizens cannot tolerate that the EU maintains an agreement that contributes to legitimize and finance a State that commits crimes against humanity and war crimes. Full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.” eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/…

Today Israel will murder children. They do it every day. For fun.

23 years ago today, American activist Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer as she tried to stop the demolition of a Palestinian home in Gaza.

Saturday afternoon in the village of Wadi al-Rahim. Mohammed Shnaran, a 57-year-old farmer, was out in his barley field because a settler had driven a herd of cows into his crops. Mohammed and his sons had spent months cultivating that field. When Mohammed tried to call the police, there was no answer. He tried to film the damage, but the settler smashed his phone and hit him in the face with brass knuckles. Then reinforcements arrived—settlers in an off-road vehicle. One of them was wearing an army uniform. From just a few meters away, the uniformed settler fired two shots at Mohammed’s son, 29-year-old Amir. The bullets hit his neck and chest. He died instantly in his father’s arms. While Mohammed was checking for a pulse, the settler fired again, hitting his other son, Khaled, in the side. Khaled is currently in intensive care, unconscious, and likely paralyzed for life. As the family tried to rush the brothers to a clinic, settlers used their own cars to block the road, delaying their access to help. By the time they reached a doctor, Amir was pronounced dead. By that evening, the story had been flipped. The settlers released a video claiming they had survived a "brutal lynch" and that a "soldier" had stepped in to save them. The people who brought cows, brass knuckles, and rifles onto private property were now the victims. The military's official response called the killing of a son a "claim" that they are "investigating." The next morning, the brother of the shooter showed up at the edge of the village with a backhoe and military protection. He started digging up the land to make it easier for settlers to trespass. He didn’t wait 24 hours. He was back at the exact spot where Amir was murdered, protected by the same army that stood by the day before. Mohammed is left with a field of trampled barley and a destroyed family. He followed the law, he called for help, and he stayed on his own land. In return, he is burying one son and praying for another who may never walk again. This is the reality of the South Hebron Hills. It is a place where a neighbor can destroy your life and then return the next day with a tractor and a uniform to finish the job. - Miral Askar

During a raid on the West Bank town of Tamun, the IDF killed 4 members of a Palestinian family of 6. Among the dead are 2 children, their mother, and their father. 2 other children were wounded. Shortly afterwards, Israeli forces were seen towing the family's car out of the town.

I just watched "Nuremberg" which is a very bad film, however, it includes footage of the liberation of the concentration camps, which is utterly horrific, & I could not stop questioning how people who have had this done to them, do it to others?

Mohammed, a Syrian child refugee who lives in Lebanon breaks down after losing 6 family members after an Israeli strike.

“Israel kills children as a hobby. As a hobby. The problem isn't just Netanyahu. The problem is the entire Zionist Israeli society.” Zionism is the root of all evil.
