About a dozen far-right Israeli protesters have blocked the Latrun Interchange of Highway 1 in the occupied West Bank to stop trucks carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, Israeli media reports.

Germany finds roundabout way to commemorate the Wehrmacht and SS:

Germany is introducing a Veterans Day for the first time since its reunification. In a country that is very ambivalent about its armed forces, this is a sensation.

An estimated 1.6 million people packed Copacabana beach last night to see a free, 2.5 hour show by Madonna, who a drew a crowd that was 48 times larger than Jair Bolsonaro's recent anti-Supreme Court protest at the same location.

British Fire Brigades Union stay winning.

Unfortunately I have to inform you all that a certain zionist, known as "Tank Posting" on Twitter, is unfortunately still alive and is seen celebrating the IOF's entry into Rafah, comparing the destruction of the "I LOVE GAZA" monument with the famous video of the destruction of the swastika in Nuremberg in 1945.

However, there is still time. This little fuck is on active duty and from what appears the IOF not only eats shit in Gaza but his deployment may take him to face Hezbollah in the north. Not all is lost, he can still get reduced to nothing by Yasin 105 RPG, or later on, by Kornet ATGM.

Nothing but death and misery for all zionists around the world, especially those engaged in genocide directly.

Death to israel

Today marks the two year anniversary of the Israeli assassination of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, a United States citizen. The Biden administration dropped it's position of calling for investigation and prosecution, and failed to condemn the Israeli assault on Abu Akleh’s funeral in Jerusalem, wherein armed officers beat her pallbearers with batons. To date no one has been held accountable.

After 1.5 years of me, 72T and the other nerds here being in pain when looking at Ukraine-Russia War maps, Russian troops have finally crossed the northern section of the Ukraine-Russia border and have reactivated the Kharkov front. Multiple reports are now flowing in and all are saying the same things, Russian units have captured some of the border villages and the main Russian forces still haven't deployed yet. My short dumb megathread guy analysis says that the attack north of Kharkov is another 5D diversion tactic, but the thrust from the Vovchansk direction is the main one and it will be in the direction of the Kupiansk-Izium-Liman line.

Between campus protests in Europe, invasion of Rafah, the UN vote, and Eurovision shenanigans… it almost feels like this has been the worst few days for “controlling the narrative” on behalf of US and Israeli interests. I’m not suggesting some Israeli singer getting booed will stop a solitary bomb from dropping on Gaza… but narratives do matter. That’s why the US works so hard to control it.

Apparently LAPD unexpectedly ("unprovoked" is used to describe it) arrested the press and legal observers in a parking garage today, along with a mayoral candidate and a bunch of UCLA students. /r/ACAB thread

Slovenia Prepares to Recognize Palestine as a State

"Atrocities that we see in Gaza every day are inadmissible and have to stop," PM Golob said.

On Thursday, the government of Slovenia began the procedure of recognizing the State of Palestine to help end the violence in Gaza.

"Atrocities that we see in Gaza every day are inadmissible and have to stop," Prime Minister Robert Golob told a news conference following a government session.

Slovenia's government coalition, which is composed of three center-left parties, is united on the plan to recognize the State of Palestine, he said, adding that he hopes other countries will follow Slovenia.

The Slovenian government will send a formal request to the parliament to recognize the State of Palestine by June 13.

"I am pleased that the government has taken a decisive and irreversible step in the process of recognizing Palestine. Slovenia thus sends a clear message on the urgency of Middle East peace and a two-state solution," Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon said.

Over 100 students from Ljubljana University's Faculty of Social Sciences protested on the premises for the second day in a row on Thursday, calling on the university to issue a clear condemnation of the genocide in Gaza and end any cooperation with Israel's Bar Ilan University.

Slovenia, an incumbent non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, issued a joint statement with Spain, Malta and Ireland in late March saying that the countries stand ready to recognize the State of Palestine when "the circumstances are right".

"US offers Israel intel on Hamas leaders in exchange for limited Rafah op"

You have probably seen this ridiculous story in many places. I would like to discuss it because it reveals one of the major strategies of the psychological information warfare occurring at the moment.

According to ~~Washington~~ Bezos' Post:

Washington “is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group’s hidden tunnels.”

We should be asking a few questions:

1. Where is Washington getting this "valuable intelligence"? Did they pull it out of the air? No, this is an implicit admission of what we already knew and many of us have been saying for months. US troops are on the ground in Gaza right now and they have been part of the campaign in many different ways. Remember when Tasnim revealed 5,000 US soldiers were involved in the initial invasion of Gaza? I do.

2. If Washington actually had this intelligence to find Yahya al-Sinwar and Mohamed al-Deif, don't you think they would have already acted upon it? The US needs Sinwar eliminated in order to implement their "New Middle East." Other leaders in Hamas have shown willingness to co-operate and co-ordinate with Qatar to sabotage the liberation project. It was the Yahya Sinwar faction that reclaimed Hamas after that betrayal at the start of the war on Syria and re-oriented it to what it is today. What kinds of intelligence could they actually have anyways?

3. Does Washington actually want "israel" to so-called "hold back" in Rafah? It seems the answer is no. The 20+billion dollars given to the zionist entity last month reveals far more than any words being said. The "pier" being constructed in Gaza reveals the US is All-In on this nazi project. This whole narrative that the US is reigning in the "israeli extreme right" is dedicated to the natsec state plot of eventually building the "two-state solution" after Netanyahu is removed from office following the end of this war.

Conclusions:

Stop listening to what the US and "israeli" politicians and their mouthpieces are saying. Everything is a misdirection scheme that aims to make the United States seem innocent, to promote future normalization schemes, and to distance criticism of the US government. The "good cop bad cop" routine. Anthony Blinken was in "tel aviv" just before this operation on Rafah began. Remember what every Axis of Resistance leader has emphasized: The US is involved at every level in this war of annihilation and it making all of the strategic decisions while "israel" is merely its tool.

This principle is important to build a broad-based internationalist coalition of forces dedicated to saving our planet from the 4th Reich known as the United States of America. We cannot be distracted thinking the problem is the zionist lobbies and Netanyahu and the israeli "right wing". (In my opinion, Netanyahu basically has as much power as Zelensky at this point.)

The United States of America as an economic/political/military institution is the enemy of almost all human beings on earth. This is our point of unity.

Friends just keep doubling down on voting for Joe Biden in the fall. I must accept that I am surrounded by fascists who don’t care about genocide

It’s crazy to me that western leaders are still insisting that Ukraine get favorable terms and will join NATO. They know that’s the red line and trigger for the whole war, they know that giving up on that is strategic defeat. Russia is in no rush, they can keep the war they are winning going as long as the west refuses to give up on Ukrainian NATO membership. They can’t join NATO while they are in an ongoing war cause that would cause instant WW3 and is useless as deference since Russia wasn’t deterred, so why ever end the war? Even after other objectives have been secured like buffer zones, securing all annexed Russian oblasts, denazification, end of shelling (especially of Donetsk and Belgorod); Crimean land bridge, water and rail lines, etc. if Ukraine won’t fold then Russia can and should just keep them on simmer.

This is talked about so little in the west, at least in public. It’s the elephant in the room that they are all talking around in their articles and cope. They will have to give in to Russian demands

I am here to remind everyone of Bangladesh and their relations with "Israel". Well, first they have none. Second it gets funnier because in 1971, during the Bangladesh War of Liberation, "Israel" stated that they supported the Provisional Government of Bangladesh against Pakistan. And then, when Bangladesh gained independence in 1972, "Israel" was among the first nations (if not even THE first) to recognize Bangladesh. However, Bangladesh quickly rejected this recognition calling it not acceptable, basically telling "Israel" to "fuck off and die and shove your recognition up your ass", then Bangladesh recognized the Palestinian state and has maintained this position ever since.

All passports issued in Bangladesh read: "This passport is valid for all countries in the world except Israel", something I find extremely funny. By 2021, however, Bangladesh was forced to erase this text from their passport but this has only happened on the e-passports, printed ones still have it.

I wish everyone was a bit more like Bangladesh.

The Cradle: Yemen’s strategic escalation into the Mediterranean

The Yemeni “circle of fire” – its maritime reach – now encompasses the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Indian Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea. On land, Sanaa’s focus is on impacting Israel’s geographic depth, particularly its southern regions which abut the Red Sea. In multiple speeches, Ansarallah leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi has emphasized Yemen’s staggering advances in military capabilities, both quantitatively and qualitatively. These advancements are made possible by various factors, most notably the real-world testing of their arsenal. Recent broadcasts showcased a distant suicide drone targeting a ship in the Red Sea, equipped with a camera on its nose. Additionally, there has been significant Yemeni progress in the use of winged and ballistic missiles: according to military analysts, for the first time in history, anti-ship ballistic missiles were deployed against seaborne vessels, a qualitative advancement in Ansarallah’s military bag of tricks.

[...] Since early April, various European naval commanders have thrown their hands up in full public view. Jerome Henry, commander of France’s Aquitaine-class FREMM frigate Alsace – deployed in the Red Sea for 71 straight days – said on 11 April that his ship had depleted its entire combat arsenal, and while it would head to port to replenish those munitions, would return to face an impossible mission: "We didn’t necessarily expect this level of threat. There was an uninhibited violence that was quite surprising and very significant. [The Yemenis] do not hesitate to use drones that fly at water level, to explode them on commercial ships, and to fire ballistic missiles."

[...] Yemeni Brigadier-General Shamsan points out that the US defense system failures, and growing risks faced by the anti-Yemen naval coalitions, have “forced it and its allies to withdraw more than 18 ships from the theater of operations, as the number of American ships that left reached 10, while eight ships belonging to European tools left.”

Shamsan says the rapid development of Sanaa’s military capabilities during the ongoing war has positioned Yemen as a pivotal player not only regionally but globally, owing to its strategic position overseeing one of the world’s most crucial maritime passages. As Ansarallah’s phase four operations commence in the Mediterranean Sea, Shamsan declares that Yemen has now effectively implemented a maritime blockade and economic stranglehold on Israel, which heavily relies on sea routes for the vast majority of its imports. This blockade, in turn, represents a significant leverage point against both Tel Aviv and its western allies, which have failed to protect their interests in the Red Sea or counteract Sanaa’s embargo on ships entering the ports of the occupation state.

Far from being a mere political and military backwater, Yemen has demonstrated far-reaching military capabilities and impressive strategic planning that has confounded the world’s greatest naval powers. Sanaa’s formidable maneuvers in West Asian maritime zones have catapulted it to the forefront of the region’s Axis of Resistance as the member most capable of influencing global maritime security and regional stability. As the US and its allies rally around their newly constructed “aid pier” on Gaza’s Mediterranean coastline to, as many suspect, consolidate the area as a future site for US military operations and protect Israel’s oil and gas platforms, Yemen is emerging as a frontline adversary in that far-flung theater.

Western navies are complete paper tigers.

Bernie is running for re-election. I guess he doesn't want the tail end of his legacy to be "supported a genocide" so he needs another term to make people forget.

Russia appears to have taken more land in the past 48 hours than Ukraine took during the entire summer offensive.

Note the dashed arrows indicate where Russia has not yet attacked - presumably, they want to do as much fighting outside the city as possible.

Moscow Warns It Will Strike UK Military Targets If British Weapons Are Used in Attacks on Russia

Russia has warned the UK that it could target British military installations and equipment in “Ukraine and beyond” if Ukrainian forces use British-provided weapons to strike Russian territory.

Russia made the warning directly to the British ambassador in Moscow, who was summonsed in response to UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron saying Ukraine has the “right” to use British weapons in attacks on Russia.

“Any British military facilities and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond could be a response to Ukrainian strikes with the use of British weapons on the territory of Russia,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

“The ambassador was called upon to reflect on the inevitable catastrophic consequences of such hostile steps by London and to immediately refute the belligerent provocative statements of the head of the Foreign Office in the most decisive and unequivocal way,” the ministry said.

London has been providing Ukraine with Storm Shadow missiles, which have a range of up to 155 miles. Earlier this year, the UK confirmed it had a “small number” of troops inside Ukraine, and a German military leak revealed British troops “on the ground” in Ukraine are helping Ukrainian forces fire the Storm Shadow missiles.

The NATO missile supply and targeting support for Ukraine has always risked a major escalation of the war. But as the conflict has dragged on, the US, Britain, and other NATO countries have increased their involvement in the war despite the risk of provoking a direct confrontation between the Western alliance and Russia, which could quickly turn nuclear.

Do something funny, Iran. These cowards are too scared to fight someone their own size.

The other day I made this post about how we could flood the Utah hotline to report trans bathroom usage with false reports, and now Utah is reporting that the hotline is nearly unusable because of all of the false reports lol

The onslaught has led the state official tasked by law with managing the tip line, the Utah auditor, John Dougall, to bemoan getting stuck with the cumbersome task of filtering through fake complaints while also facing backlash for enforcing a law he had no role in passing.

“No auditor goes into auditing so they can be the bathroom monitors,” Dougall said on Tuesday. “I think there were much better ways for the legislature to go about addressing their concerns, rather than this ham-handed approach.”

In the week since it launched, the online tip line already has received more than 10,000 submissions, none of which seem legitimate, he said.

Folks, direct action gets the goods

The auditor’s office has encountered many reports that Dougall described as “total nonsense”, and others that he said appear credible at first glance and take much longer to filter out. His staff had spent the last week sorting through thousands of well-crafted complaints citing fake names or locations.

Now is a great time to remind everybody to keep sending in false reports (via this site) that sound legitimate and make this hotline unusable.

Union theological seminary, which is housed on Columbia's campus and a partner of Columbia but has separate endowments, has officially divested. They had been working towards this since November 2023. Some may know Union as where Cornell West has taught.

The Eurovision has released an official explanation for why the illegal zionist entity is allowed in the contest while Russia is not.

The Eurovision makes a song and dance about how the contest is "apolitical" and how it is "not a contest between governments". They claim that while Russian broadcasters were suspended for "persistent breaches of membership obligations and the violation of public service values", the zionist broadcaster has been a member for more than 60 years.

To underline their moral cowardice they state that their decision to ignore the ongoing genocide and allow a zionist entry is aligned with many other international organisations like sport unions who allow zionist participation.

It is a bullshit explanation that puts a fig leaf on their blatant loyalty to western imperialism, but at least that is the explanation they give.

In a further example of how petty universities are getting (while turning blind eyes to Zionist hate) I offer this from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland Ohio:

CWRU has a 'spirit wall' where students are encouraged to express themselves with paint, chalk, fliers and more.

Students opposing the genocide in Palestine and organising against it used this wall, with great support from others, and completely within the published policy available on the university website.

The university decided they were going to have contractors go in and paint over the entire wall to remove the pro-Palestine messages.

Students stood in front of the wall so that the work couldn't be done and demanded to know why the university was removing pro-Palestine messages when it had never done previously.

So university staff ordered the contractors to paint over the students.

The university later finished respraying the wall and it was immeadiately covered in graffiti by Zionists calling the students "terrorists". It remains up.

On Saturday morning, a group of protesters arrived at Yle's Helsinki office to demand that Yle withdraw from Eurovision because Israel is participating in the competition.

Israel's participation has attracted strong criticism , as Israel is waging a war in the Palestinian territory of Gaza.

In the press release, the protesters say that Israel will get a platform to polish its own image in Eurovision.

Excerpt from an insightful interview with Palestinian communist Khaled Barakat

As for Palestine’s geopolitical significance, Barakat highlighted that “Palestine signifies the balance of power” both regionally and globally. “Everything related to Palestine is by default related to the Zionist entity as well. So if there is a war, then everybody gets affected, and the effects are immediately felt worldwide, but particularly in our region, in West Asia, which is a very important area in determining the global system,” he explained.

Based on their position towards Palestine, Barakat divided the West Asian countries into three groups: countries like Turkey and Qatar that have close relations with the US and the NATO, which are trying to push the Palestinian resistance into accepting a two-state solution or to extract concessions; the camp comprising Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt that is directly collaborating with the Zionist entity to the detriment of the Palestinian cause; and countries like Iran and Syria and entities like Hezbollah, Ansarallah, Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units, etc., that are openly backing the Palestinian resistance. “These three camps actually exist globally, not just in our region,” he pointed out. “In the fight that is happening in Gaza, you have a Global South pushing for Gaza’s victory because it is pushing for its own victory, while the Western imperialist powers are supporting Israel because they are supporting their own interests. So this fight is not just between Palestinians and Israelis, instead it is two international camps that are actually in this conflict in a time when a new world order is needed. People cannot go on living with the United States determining the fate of the world, and a multipolar system is being born.”

“At the same time, the United States must accept the fact today that the world is changing and its empire is shrinking, it is getting weak,” he continued. “We are going to witness more and more internal crises in the United States, and Palestine would have a lot to do with that.” As an example of this, he highlighted the pro-Palestine student protests in several US universities. “Those who think that the battle in Gaza will remain in Gaza, that is not going to happen… Those who support the Palestinian people are actually playing a major role today worldwide, in geopolitics, while those who are not supporting Palestine are actually on the sidelines.”

Unrwa closes East Jerusalem compound after attacks

head of the UN's largest aid agency in Gaza says he is temporarily closing its headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem after a number of attacks.

Philippe Lazzarini said "Israeli residents" twice set fire to the compound's perimeter on Thursday evening.

There were no casualties but the fire "caused extensive damage to the outdoor areas," he wrote on social media.

"Once again, the lives of UN staff were at a serious risk."

Our director with the help of other staff had to put out the fire themselves as it took the Israeli fire extinguishers and police a while before they turned up," he added.

There was no immediate response from the Israeli authorities.

Mr Lazzarini also posted a video of what he said was a "crowd accompanied by armed men" who were chanting "burn down the United Nations". This video has not been verified by the BBC.

He said it was the second time this week the compound has come under attack, and it would not be reopened until "proper security is restored

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is back in the hospital with a rare skin infection. The doctors announced that the antibiotics are working, but he's being transferred from Manaus to a hospital in Brasilia today.

John Bachtell, previous National Chairperson (Revisionist version of General Secretary) of CPUSA, member of their national committee (revisionist version of Central Committee), and president of Long View Publishing Co., the publisher of People's World (The mouthpiece of CPUSA that puts out articles so bad they stopped printing physical copies so as to avoid having them used as toilet paper.), one of the few public faces of the right-opportunist anti-communist rot that has killed CPUSA and reanimated its corpse into a DNC sheepdog, turboshitlib extraordinare, and coincidentally has worked personally with former President Obama back in the day with his senatorial campaign as some kind of precinct coordination officer.

This is someone in CPUSA's leadership who openly pushes the party to support the Democratic party and calls any third party candidate a running-dog for 'fascist' trump, (and we know for a fact he'd call PSL anti-democratic and 'progressive', if it wasn't for the fact that he'd face greater backlash) as I've previously quoted before...

Third-party candidates prevented both Democrats and Republicans from surpassing 50% in 2016, playing a key role in Trump’s victory. Therefore, another GOP scheme is to siphon off votes from Democrats by flooding the zone with third-party candidates or supporting those that develop independently in order to widen division, play on concerns about Biden’s age, and tap disappointment with the policy promises that Biden and the Democrats haven’t been able to fulfill.

In 2024, the GOP and MAGA are excited by the “No Labels” Party, the Democratic primary challenge of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and the Green Party candidacy of Cornel West. They see all of these campaigns as opportunities to disrupt the election, divide the anti-MAGA majority, and undercut the progressive voter mobilization needed to defeat fascism.

So anyways, now that I've riled you up, allow me to drop the feather to break the proverbial camel's back.

John Bachtell says "I condemn Hamas" because of some video showing some dude getting his ass beat because he was stealing phones, food, solar cells, etc. from refugees and got caught. (link to proof)

Zero investigation into the image and he immediately begins to push pro-fascist talking points.

And if that's not disgusting enough, not much later he begins posting in support for the Georgian color revolution thats happening right now

Good fucking luck actually having your social fascist and class traitor leadership willingly relinquish power - and thats assuming you can actually vote them out to begin with - any members of CPUSA here. You'd literally have better luck trying to learn as much as you can and getting as many resources as you can then bailing for an actual communist party.

Edit: I also forgot to mention he's unironically repeats nazi propaganda and is a banderite

David Cameron made a statement recently where he said British weapons could be used by Ukraine against Russia.

Russia summoned the ambassadors of Britain and France to a 30minute meeting. They then exited the building in total silence.

Later, the Russian foreign ministry said:

A strong protest was expressed to the British Ambassador in connection with Foreign Minister Cameron’s statement about Kiev’s right to strike Russia with British weapons.

The ambassador was warned that the response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons on Russian territory could be any British military facilities and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond, the Russian Foreign Ministry reports.
