We already know how the Israel/Palestine conflict will end. The cO2 that is already in the atmosphere is scientifically guaranteed to render the entire Middle East uninhabitable in 50-100 years.
The ONLY open question is how many people will be killed fighting over it before then.

Going Green Pary (again) so that, in 100 years when billions are dead from cascading ecological failure, it will be categorically not my fault.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

One of the biggest friction points in regards to Israel & "Zionism" is that for most older Jews & Millennials, especially, "Zionist" in the mouths of Gentiles is just a dogwhistle for "Jews," while for many of the younger crowds of Jews & Gentiles it's if anything a synonym for "evangelical."

And I'm not fighting a strawman here, it's a zombie horde - there's a whole cohort of Resistance social media types who will tell you that *the* crime of the civilian in Israel and/or Israeli citizen abroad is that they call themselves Israeli and that they hold Israeli citizenship.

This is the very definition of a rogue, self-harming, unprovoked attack.
Instead of taking the W of Assad's ouster & working to get relations with Syria's new leadership- which has studiously sought to avoid conflict- off to a mutually beneficial start, Israel bombs Damascus.

Destabilising Syria’s new government absolutely serves Putin’s interests.
But it most assuredly does not help Israel weaken Hezbollah, Hamas & Iran or protect its long-term interests as @arashtehran.bsky.social rightly recognises.
Extremely self-harming, unprovoked belligerence.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order.

The best part of constantly predicting disaster is celebrating when you get proven wrong.

Israeli journalist: "It's the same deal as in May! But Netanyahu's stubbornness prevented a deal then."
As a deal is hopefully happening (though what's needed is a PERMANENT ceasefire), keep this in mind.
This could've happened months ago. Instead, more Palestinians and more hostages died.

The complete mental breakdown people will have at the concept of being opposed to violence against civilians is fascinating.
But I have to imagine I won’t find you in any comment sections condemning militant anti-fascists and claiming that they were partially responsible for the Holocaust.
You are holding Palestinians to a standard that no other victims of genocide have been or should have been held to. Ask yourself why

Donald Trump says it is an “absolute necessity” for the United States to annex Greenland.
“For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.”

Three days ago, Amnesty released a statement on the research into the Hamas-led 7 October attack.
The evidence they have indicates "deliberate targeting" of civilians as the core of the 7th October attack.
