Israeli
settlers are taking over Palestinian land by creating "farming
outposts" with the goal of ethnically cleansing Palestinians. This
strategy complements the Israeli state's broader plans for annexing the West
Bank.

They’re Coming For Us: Media Censorship in the Age of Palestinian Genocide
Joshua Frank
Recall those
feverish days leading up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq when Colin Powell
presented his dubious evidence to the United Nations Security Council, claiming
Saddam Hussein possessed WMDs. The result of those bogus lies was The Iraq
Resolution, which authorized the use of force against the sovereign state, and
passed the Senate by a decisive 77-23 margin, with only 23 dissenting votes.
Support crossed party lines as Hillary Clinton and many other prominent
Democrats consistently reached into George W. Bush’s basket of lies, repeating
the neocons’ WMD propaganda. The New York Times, fulfilling its usual
perfunctory role, ran Judith Miller’s series of bogus articles parroting the
same falsehoods. Outrage grew, and we took to the streets as the U.S. invasion
loomed.
Diego Garcia: ethnically cleansed for US forever wars
Aidan J.
Simardone
As Trump
threatens war on Iran, Washington weaponizes Diego Garcia – a Chagos island in
the Indian Ocean built on ethnic cleansing, British colonialism, and military
adventurism.
A Message from Bernie Sanders
Sisters and
Brothers:
Under the
oligarchic and authoritarian regime of Donald Trump, we find ourselves living
in an unprecedented moment in modern American history. As a result, we’ve got
to respond in an unprecedented way.

‘They told my brother I was dead’: inside Israel’s psychological warfare against Palestinian prisoners
Shatha Hanaysha
Palestinian
prisoners in Israeli detention are subjected to conditions of torture,
starvation, and torment that are the worst they have been since 1967. My
brother has been imprisoned amid these conditions for over a year.

زندانی افکار
یکی بود یکی نبود، غیر از خدا هیچ کس نبود. در
زمانهای پیشین، و در شهر کوچکی سالها بود که مردم شهر از خشکسالی رنج میبردند، و زندگی
مردم شهر به دلیل وجود این خشکسالی بسیار دشوار شده بود. چون روزگار مردم این شهر از کشاورزی میگذشت، بدون
آب هیچ کار کشاورزی نمیتوانستند بکنند، چرا که هیچ دریائی، دریاچهای، جویباری در
این شهر نبود و دیگر چاههای شهر هم خشک شده بودند. نخست آذوقههائی را که در انبارهای
شهر باقی مانده بود بین مردم تقسیم کردند، و سپس درختها را بریدند و تقسیم کردند
و بعد هرچه گیاه بود، حتّی علفها را نیز تقسیم کردند. دیگر هیچ آذوقهای در شهر پیدا
نمیشد، چرا که مردم تمام آذوقهٔ شهر را خورده بودند و هر چه حیوان بود کشته بودند،
و حتّی سگ و گربههای این شهر هم نسلشان را برانداخته بودند.ا

Al-Sharqiya Cemetery, near Gaza City, is the largest cemetery in Gaza. It has been inaccessible since the genocide began and many fear it has been bulldozed and destroyed, along with the remains of our loved ones.

Iran Is Not Building a Nuclear Bomb: A Fact Sheet

“You know, it’s not a complicated formula,” U.S. President Donald Trump said. “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That’s all there is.” So, negotiations should be successful because Iran neither has, nor are they pursuing, a nuclear weapon.
