Fuck Israel

🚨 According to the Sinai Foundation, Egyptian authorities have begun the construction of a "security buffer zone" surrounded by high walls to receive Palestinians from Gaza in the event of a mass exodus.

This news comes as Palestinians in Rafah have documented the construction of walls on the border in recent weeks.

The Sinai Foundation revealed that the construction works in eastern Sinai aim to establish a "security area" along the border with the Gaza Strip, intending to host refugees from Gaza in the event of an exodus.

Two local contractors stated that the construction works were awarded to local companies by subcontract from the Sons of Sinai Construction and Building Company, owned by businessman Ibrahim Al-Arjani, who is close to the Sisi regime. Arjani also profits heavily from extortion of Gazans at the Rafah border crossing. The Sisi regime and its intelligence apparatus own a majority stake in the Organi Group, which includes the Hala company that profits from the Rafah crossing.

The project aims to establish an area surrounded by 7-meter high walls, after clearing the rubble of the original residents' homes destroyed during the so-called "war on terror," which Arjani also significantly oversaw operations of.

In fact, Al-Arjani's mercenaries, the "Knights of Haitham" militia, are heavily overseeing security in the construction area.

The project is expected to be done within ten days, with the work being carried out under the supervision of the Engineering Authority of the Egyptian Armed Forces and in the presence of a heavy security detail.

Two days ago, the Sinai Foundation published a report with photo evidence showing the beginning of construction at a very rapid pace, amid significant security tightening. A 7 meter wall was documented south of Rafah heading towards the Mediterranean Sea.

Researcher Mohannad Sabri noted, "These are serious indications that Egypt might be preparing to accept and allow the displacement of Gaza's population to Sinai, in coordination with 'israel' and the United States."

Egypt steps up security on border as Israeli offensive in Gaza nears

CAIRO, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Egypt has sent about 40 tanks and armoured personnel carriers to northeastern Sinai within the past two weeks as part of a series of measures to bolster security on its border with Gaza, two Egyptian security sources said. The deployment took place ahead of the expansion of Israeli military operations around Gaza's southern city of Rafah, where much of its population has sought safety, sharpening Egyptian fears that Palestinians could be forced en masse out of the enclave.

This is akin to firefighters preventing people from getting out of a burning building, how can Egypt be so heartless? Egypt is forcing innocent Palestinian women and children to remain trapped in a war zone rather than helping them escape to the safety of the Sinai Peninsula.

Some say that if Palestinians leave Gaza, they will never be allowed to return. Would you say the same to a family being forced to remain in the path of a hurricane? How about allowing the people who are in immediate danger to make that decision? Or would you rather see more innocent Palestinian women and children die in order to make some kind of point?

Israel announces its Gaza endgame: Ethnic cleansing as ‘humanitarianism’

Israeli leaders, from PM Benjamin Netanyahu and FM Eli Cohen on down, have repeatedly made it clear since October 7 that they intend to ethnically cleanse Gaza. No matter how many times they say it, people still refuse to believe them. Capitalizing on this, Israel is now presenting ethnic cleansing as “humanitarian option.” In my latest for Mondoweiss, I explain what they’re doing and how the…

HOW ZIONISTS REACHED TO THE DEATH OF AARON BUSHNELL

[royalberryriku]

Jews deserve love so I'm gonna side eye this since Zionism wasn't mentioned. The political movement of Zionism is the problem, not Jews or Judaism.

This all being said, it is also important that we all, as those who aren't being starved, murdered or imprisoned in this genocide stay informed and, yes, that does mean being aware and actually seeing what is happening and thinking about why it's happening. I understand being overwhelmed and I understand the emotional toll that takes. However, if we are not actively having our safety and welfare harmed to the same extent as Palestinians are currently with being bombed every single day and not having enough food or medicine to know if they'll see tomorrow, I think being supportive and present is the least we can do. Solidarity to our Jewish brothers and sisters, but we all have to do our part as we show solidarity to our Palestinian brothers and sisters too.

Many suffer due to the decades long siege on Gaza and the West Bank and the consequences of it; antisemetism (specifically the collective blaming of all anti-Zionist Jews for the Zionist colonialist project) and Islamophobia (collectively blaming all Muslims for the suffering of Jews, which is pushed by the anti Muslim and anti Arab propaganda that labels all middle eastern people as "terrorists"). I understand that is exhausting, so yes, if Jews AND Muslims and Arabs need to rest and a reminder they're loved? Yeah. We should say it. We just can't forget that it's not just Jews, but the Palestinians who are bearing the brunt of the far right Israeli government's Zionism and aggression.

Division of the shared struggle of Palestinians and Jews caused by Zionists is reductive. What we need to push for is solidarity for a problem caused by a common enemy; Zionism/ imperialism and western intervention. Which, yeah, is precisely why I want Jews to remember they're loved, but also that staying educated and informed is so so important. Zionism is dependent on propaganda and raising children in western ideals of colonial expansion ("the culture of surrounding nations needs to be fixed and erased for the greater good" or "because those around us are so savage and evidently are so sexist and homophobic and bad we have to fix them" or "Arabs colonised Jews so the Arabs need to die" are often used to try and create a target out of groups that are actually really progressive and/or not at fault for what the Romans did to the ancient Kingdom of Israel, but are labelled as evil by the west due to how they're in the way of resources and advantageous areas). If you've ever heard of the US's "cop cities", I'd compare Israel, a place built on Zionism, as one of those. The way it pushes militarisation is very similar and essentially teaches Jews to fight or die from a threat that is actually not even there until it's made to be there; Palestinian resistance groups that then prove all their worst fears when they resist after previous attacks by the IDF.

October 7th wasn't the first and it won't be the last as long as Israel antagonizes the countries and people around it until an attack happens. Which, again, is exactly why it's so important for Jews to know what sort of system Israel is and that getting far far away from that system is important for Jews and their literal safety. That's what I mean by a shared struggle, because so much of the antisemetism we're seeing? That's not from pro Palestinian protesters or the Palestinians themselves who are scared (rightfully so) of an attack from Jews who could be Zionists, that's from the conflating for Zionism (again, something that's been used to justify terrorist attacks towards surrounding groups of civilians for over 76+ years if we're only asking about Israel and not even the militias before it). And it is that system and that ideology that is to blame for the Palestinians' suffering.

I know I rambled a lot here and, honestly, there's so much to this that it's hard to summarise. But it's important; Jews aren't our enemies and are fellow victims ofa Zionism. Yes, Zionism began as an ideology centring Judaism that was then merged with western ideals of imperialism. No, that doesn't make it antisemetic to criticise as it is still a far right extremist ideology that calls for the establishment of an ethno-state using methods copied from Germany and actively has killed Jews in that westernised political pursuit, even before the establishment of modern Israel.

To every Jewish person:

I hope you are remembering to take care of yourselves.

I hope you are eating well. Staying hydrated. Getting plenty of rest.

I hope you are remembering to take a break from everything. Turn off social media and the news and find some joy.

I hope you remember how strong your people are and how far they have come.

I hope that you remember that you are also strong. Being strong doesn't mean you have to face everything alone.

I hope you look at the sky once a day and find beauty there.

I hope you remember to sing.

I hope you remember how much you are loved. Every single one of us is a gift. We will do what we do best and continue on.

Another cognitive issue for Biden

CSPAN. (2024, feb 8). ‘President Biden Delivers Remarks on Special Counsel’s Report’. At a recent ‘scripted’ speech, covered by CSPAN, of Joe Biden talking about the end of the classified document fiasco that found he had no wrongdoing, he quickly returned to the podium for a ‘non scripted’ response to reporter’s question on hostages in the war on Gaza strip. President of Mexico? Wait……

Egypt reinforces Rafah border with Gaza

ALBAWABA - Egypt reinforced a massive border between it and Gaza that extends 60 ft below to take “unprecedented measures” and prevent any kind of penetration from the Palestinian side according to an associated press citing an Egyptian official.

The reinforcement came amid several humanitarian aid parties called for Egyptian officials to open Egypt's border for the people of Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli aggression as it has taken the lives of more than 23,000 Palestinians since October 7. Israel was planning the possibility of displacing Gazans to Sinai, Egypt before the border was reinforced and armed amid the accelerated bombing and aggression on the strip holding approximately two million residents inside of it.

Why won't Egypt allow innocent Palestinians, especially women and children, to leave Gaza while a brutal war is going on there?

Palestinian women and children are being killed because they are forced to remain in a war zone. At least until the war between Hamas and Israel is over, innocent Palestinians who choose to seek safety outside of Gaza should be allowed to do so.

Yesterday I saw on the news about the hostage situation and there was this man, don’t remember if he was Israeli or Palestinian but that doesn’t matter, and he said if he died in this conflict then he would be seen as a martyr by his people or something. And that sentence just got under my skin, like that what’s happening right now is something honorable? This war isn’t anything but a meaningless slaughter on both sides! There is no honor in killing innocent people who didn’t ask for this! What does the Hamas think they will accomplish with their acts of cruelty? That the Israeli government will stop their prosecutions of Palestinian citizens? No. Their crimes will just make them think that they’re justified in their way of thinking! That they’re all rabid dogs that needs to be put down! Is that what they want? They are just as bad as the monsters they say the Israeli are.

And to the people of Israel I have this to say: What would the Jews, who were killed in the holocaust and those who survived but who have lost their entire families to the gas chambers and firing squads, have to say about this? What would they say if they saw you treating the Palestinians the same way the Nazi did with them? Do you think that they would proud or would they be ashamed of you? Both sides have faced genocides of their people. Both sides worship the same god but call him by different names. Both sides have seen acts of violence be committed against their people just because they were different and people wanted someone to blame for their problems! So why did this happen? Why is it still happening? Why do they treat each other like countless others before have treated them? We might never know the answer, but I can say this for certain: There is no heroes and villains in this story. It’s just meaningless slaughter.

Plan to force Palestinians to Sinai yet another Biden disaster

Plans surfaced in Israel to forcibly transfer Palestinians from Gaza to the Sinai. During his recent trip to the region, Antony Blinken explored that possibility, as well as also potentially transferring some to Jordan. It was quickly evident that Egyptian and Jordanian leaders understood how disastrous this would be for their own interests. But the fact that Biden and Blinken even considered it…
