More than 3,000 Israelis have signed an open letter urging "global pressure on Israel to force an immediate ceasefire." The signatories say they are motivated by patriotic duty to stop the country's war crimes in Gaza and beyond, but say the lack of sanctions from other countries has allowed Israel to continue to pursue war, abandon the hostages still held in Gaza, ignore domestic opposition and persecute Palestinian citizens of Israel without real cost.

"Unfortunately, the majority of Israelis support the continuation of the war and massacres, and a change from within is not currently feasible. The state of Israel is on a suicidal path and sows destruction and devastation that increase day by day," reads the letter. For more, we speak with Neve Gordon, professor of international law and human rights at Queen Mary University of London, one of the signatories of the open letter, who says international powers including allies like the United States need to "put their leg down and say enough is enough." We also speak with him about Israel's well-documented history of using Palestinians as human shields, including in its current war on Gaza.

I saw this horrible footage recently of leslie feinberg giving a speech about solidarity 10+ years ago with these brotherhood-sphere organizers on stage in the immediate background and they keep openly laughing at the speech and telling leslie to wrap it up. Imagine sharing the stage with that much fragile masculinity, theyre so uncomfortable to be seen with their own ally that they keep breaking poise to disavow the cringe theyre experiencing by trying to make leslie stop talking

That shits so highschool

Don't use Drones

As Washington pushes to expand its drone warfare in Africa, hundreds have gathered in front of the White House to protest the “robotic killing machines” slaughtering thousands across the globe. Organized by the ANSWER coalition, the movement is calling on the administration to stop the use of drones on foreign soil. The coalition urges its members to stop the US government as it “functions as a death squad government, permitting the president and military leaders to create secret ‘kill lists’ of people who have been selected for assassination.”

Following the urban riots of the summer of 1967, Attorney General Clark ordered FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to create the “Ghetto Informant Program” (GIP), a program of informants that surveilled “Black Extremists,” with at least 67 informants in the Black Panther Party. Laying the ground for COINTELPRO through forming both the Interdivisional Information Unit and the GIP, Clark became a peace activist in 1970. When the La Riva-Becker faction in the WWP formalized as the PSL, the PSL was able to take control of the A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition and continued to claim Clark as a progressive hero who endorsed and participated in their work. PSL’s Brian Becker hosted the recently cancelled show Loud & Clear with John Kiriakou, who resigned from the CIA in 2004 after years of combating communist militants in Greece and recruiting agents to spy for the United States. Their show often platforms former CIA and federal agents, including Ray McGovern and William Binney. Many of these individuals are vocally critical of the US military, some even whistleblowers, though having spent decades of their lives clandestinely serving the interests of US imperialism. More concerning is Becker’s decision to platform countless outright reactionaries, including Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, Alexander Mercouris, the Editor-in-Chief of The Duran, a far-right news and opinion site, Kevork Almassian, neo-fascist and member of the German Center for Eurasian Studies, and Mark Sleboda, associate and translator of Third Positionist Aleksandr Dugin.

Though Becker’s show is not official PSL media, Becker is a member of the Central Committee and, with Gloria La Riva, PSL’s most prominent public member. Collaborating with known reactionaries, anti-communists, and war criminals cannot be excused, especially from leaders of a so called communist party. For the party line to have always tolerated such opportunism reveals a rotten reactionary core that cannot be made revolutionary. — Against the Party for “Socialism” and Liberation: Proletarian Feminism is the Weapon to Smash Revisionism!

Extinction Rebellion is one of those things like Kony 2012 or A.N.S.W.E.R. that came out of nowhere so hard it's clearly a project of some standing organization but it probably won't matter in the end

Someone was trying to describe how “Save the Children“ worked in relation to qanon and they didn’t quite come up with “front group.“  Came very close to descriptions of A.N.S.W.E.R. i’ve heard too.

Song of the Day

So... I was out && about tonight. However, I remembered about the song. On my drive back from an eventful night, I wanted tonight’s protest song to be from a very underrated band from California, Armenian band: System of a Down. I will share with you that when this album came out, Bush was out declaring war on Al Qaeda. I think it’s bullshit && I won’t get into the nitty-gritty; however, “Boom”, was a song that hit me with how war is not a cry for fighting the establishment, rather, it’s a way to control others && demonstrate power. I protested the Bush war during HS. I was involved with A.N.S.W.E.R. && walked out of class && marched down to LA City Hall. Anyhow.... enjoy!
