"'If I die, I want a loud death. I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.'"

The Guardian · ‘If I die, I want a loud death’: Gaza photojournalist killed by Israeli airstrikeBy Hannah Ellis-Petersen

"We bypass politicians and go straight to the aggressors. This takes two forms. The first is about slowing the pace of the violence and making it harder for #Israel to carry out its aims. [...] The second form of disruption is focused on the Israeli economy."

"Few things serve the ideological architecture of the Palestinian Authority more than this: the image of a massacre in Gaza, unfolding in the realm of resistance, set against the image of shoppers strolling through a mall in Ramallah. A split-screen reality, where sovereignty is no longer measured by liberation, but by the illusion of normalcy — by the ability to consume, to manage, to keep calm."

Mondoweiss · Palestinian elites threw a huge party for the opening of a megamall in Ramallah — as bombs ripped through GazaThe festive inauguration of Ramallah’s Icon Mall as the Gaza genocide continues shows that Palestinian elites are not simply indifferent, but shameless. Yet, many who do feel shame act as if it is the only remaining way to politically engage.

A study on racism in Israel that is racist itself. Classic.

A tactic of Zionism has long been to refer to Palestinian citizens of Israel - who make up 20% of the population yet live under Jim Crow-like conditions - as generic "Arabs," thereby denying that population's historic and ongoing connection to the land that is now called Israel.

But even a racist study on racism still finds racism when hatred is the norm:

"About two-thirds of Jewish and Arab teenagers in Israel seek better relations, and about one-third believe that this noble goal is within reach, even if 51 percent of Jewish youths report high levels of hatred toward Arabs."

"The US massacred civilians in Yemen with repeated strikes on a Hodeidah fuel port on Wednesday night, killing some 17 workers in the first bombing and five medical workers in the second “double tap” attack.

They’re not even trying to disguise this as a strike on a military target; CENTCOM’s sole justification was that “The objective of these strikes was to degrade the economic source of power of the Houthis,” saying that “Despite the Foreign Terrorist Designation that went into effect on 05 April, ships have continued to supply fuel via the port of Ras Isa.”

They’re not even claiming the port was a “Houthi stronghold” or some shit; their sole claim is that Washington decreed Ansar Allah are terrorists, so they have a right to massacre civilians while destroying critical civilian infrastructure.

Israel’s actions in Gaza are shredding norms all over the place."

If you're anti US empire and a nerd like myself, you'll like this one. Plenty of detailed information and anecdotes on the CIA, US military, US foreign policy, the Mossad, Iran... The special guest is the CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou. He's awesome. Hope you enjoy it too.
