Chip in to help Andrey the Settler raise $2K for a new phone!
Andrey has been released. He has a bunch of trumped up bullshit charges and has to go back for another interrogation. They stole his phone. Otherwise he’s fine.

One of the only countries Martyr Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei ever visited outside of Iran was North Korea, accurately known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). What is the history of the Iran-DPRK strategic relationship, given their shared objectives of resisting imperialist siege and establishing deterrence against the US? By @CallaWalsh

إبقاء اللبنانيين في حالة ترقّب دائم للحرب هو بحدّ ذاته هدف إسرائيلي. فالانشغال المستمر بسؤال "متى ستندلع الحرب؟" وما يرافقه من قلق وضغط نفسي، يساهم في تعطيل العودة إلى الحياة الطبيعية، ويُبقي اللبنانيين في حالة من عدم الاستقرار، حتى في الفترات التي لا تشهد مواجهات عسكرية واسعة. وهذا يُساهم في التصويب الدائم والمستمر على المقاومة وتحميلها مسؤولية ما تقوم به اسرائيل. والحقيقة أن لا أحد يعرف موعد التصعيد سوى الجهة التي تمتلك قرار إطلاقه. أما كل ما يُقال خارج هذه الدائرة، فيبقى في إطار التقديرات والتحليلات التي قد تصيب وقد تخطئ. لذلك، من الضروري التمييز بين المعلومات المؤكدة والتوقعات، وعدم التعامل مع كل تحليل أو تسريب باعتباره إعلانًا عن حرب وشيكة. الثابت أن المنطقة بأسرها لا تزال تعيش تداعيات دوامة الحرب المستمرة منذ 7 تشرين الأول 2023، من دون ظهور مؤشرات جدّية إلى تسويات قريبة في ساحات الصراع المختلفة. وهذا يعني أن احتمالات التصعيد ستبقى قائمة، لكن استمرار احتمالات الحرب لا يعني بالضرورة اقتراب موعدها. أما في ما يتعلق بلبنان، فلا يبدو، وفق المعطيات المتاحة، أن لنتنياهو مصلحة انتخابية واضحة في الذهاب إلى تصعيد واسع قبل الانتخابات الإسرائيلية. فالحرب على لبنان قد تعيد مستوطنات الشمال إلى دائرة الاستهداف، وتُجدّد أزمة الأمن والنزوح لدى سكانها، وهو ما قد يتحوّل إلى عبء انتخابي على نتنياهو، خصوصًا إذا عجز عن تحقيق نتائج سريعة وحاسمة. في المقابل، تشير قراءة المواقف الإسرائيلية والأميركية إلى أن الساحة الإيرانية قد تكون الأقرب إلى جولة جديدة من التصعيد. وبتقديري، بينما يتّفق ترامب ونتنياهو على مبدأ التصعيد نفسه، إلا أنهما يختلفان حول توقيته. فقد يجد نتنياهو مصلحة في خوض جولة جديدة مع إيران قبل الانتخابات الإسرائيلية، خاصة اذا امتلك معلومات وتقدير حول الأهداف المُمكن تحقيقها، فيما قد يفضّل ترامب تأجيلها إلى ما بعد الانتخابات النصفية الأميركية، تجنّبًا لتداعياتها المحتملة على أسعار الطاقة والاقتصاد الأميركي والمزاج الانتخابي. في المحصّلة، المطلوب هو التعامل مع احتمالات الحرب بجدّية ووعي، من دون الوقوع في فخّ الترقّب الدائم الذي يجعل التهديد بالحرب يحقق بعض أهدافها قبل أن تبدأ. فإسرائيل لا تحتاج دائمًا إلى إطلاق النار لإرباك خصومها، أحيانًا يكفي أن تجعلهم يعيشون كل يوم كما لو أن الحرب ستبدأ غدًا.

🤯 A Cuban citizen just converted a Soviet-era "Fiat-Polski" into an electric vehicle. The U.S. fuel blockade is not only causing hours-long blackouts; it has also drastically affected transportation. This video shows how innovation is also an act of resistance against U.S. aggression. #CubaIsNotAThreat, the blockade is!

Why do you invest NYC pension funds in Elbit Systems?
I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank. The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

Every time you tap your card on the New York City subway, that fare feeds a weapons contractor. ■ Cubic Corporation built and runs OMNY, the MTA's contactless payment system. Its military division has collected billions in Pentagon contracts, including Palantir collabs and funding for F-35 training simulators: the same aircraft the Israeli occupation uses in its genocide in Gaza. ■ OMNY links your transit movements to your name, address, date of birth, and photo. Cubic's own documents describe that data as material for "monetization schemes," and the privacy policy permits sharing it with law enforcement indefinitely. ■ Last week, activists in Brooklyn drilled through OMNY hardware at Church Avenue station, opened the gates, and painted over surveillance cameras. They named the target precisely: unaffordable fares, racist surveillance policing, and the military company behind the tap-to-pay system itself.

Amazing community note. My argument is that drug trafficking is real but subordinate to states and imperialism, omnipotent “cartels” are myths, and the term “cartel” itself was invented by the DEA and US officials. Community note: the DEA says cartels are real
Drug cartels do not exist

Full statement: BREAKING: Palestine Action defy Trump's terror ban and target the Manhattan branch of Capital One Bank, who help bankroll Elbit Systems. Multiple windows were broken at the site at 249 East 86th Street, New York City, NY 10028. The bank was sprayed, both inside and out, with symbolic blood-red paint, representing the Palestinian blood spilled by Israel. Graffiti instructed Capital One to "Drop Elbit!". The entrance doors to the branch were locked by the actionists, effectively shutting it down for the day. Capital One are one of the six banks responsible for a loan of $545 million to Elbit, who provide the Israeli military with over 85% of their killer drone fleet, and 80% of their land-based weaponry and equipment. In a statement, the actionists said: "We will no longer allow this country, and the companies that plague it, to be involved in the genocide of the Palestinian people without answering for their crimes. There is only one future, with a free Palestine. Join us and make it so." Join an underground workshop to shut Elbit Systems of America down: palestineaction.org/us

Former Palestine Action US political prisoners have been subpoenaed by the FBI and US Department of Justice for a federal grand jury, likely “to testify against Fergie Chambers," according to an exclusive report by Wyatt Reed (@wyattreed13) for The Grayzone (@thegrayzonenews). ■ "Subpoenas obtained by this outlet show the US Department of Justice is seeking to compel statements from two pro-Palestine activists, Sophie Ross and Bridget Shergalis. The pair previously pled guilty to minor charges and were sentenced to 60 days" for participating in a direct action against the Elbit Systems factory in Merrimack, New Hampshire, according to The Grayzone. ■ "While it’s unclear who the ultimate target of the grand jury investigation is, circumstantial evidence strongly suggests the FBI is seeking to compel witnesses to testify against Fergie Chambers, a wealthy American activist who donated millions to projects across the Middle East, including bakeries and healthcare facilities in Gaza and a prominent soccer team in Tunisia. Chambers has been jailed in Spain for over three months thanks to a pending US extradition order citing extremely dubious charges of financing terrorism and accusations that he played a role in the anti-Elbit action in Merrimack," The Grayzone noted.

The targeting of Fergie Chambers, the Merrimack 4, Masar Badil and others represents a futile attempt to suppress the uncompromising resistance at the heart of the Palestinian struggle for liberation and return. Our response must be to plant our feet and never retreat.
US DOJ is targeting two members of the Merrimack 4 in a federal grand jury subpoena to testify on the 2023 direct action against an Elbit factory in NH. “Circumstantial evidence strongly suggests the FBI is seeking to compel witnesses to testify against Fergie Chambers.”

Is this the new LARP? American politicians flying to the West Bank to cosplay as defenders of Palestinians while supporting the very institutions that make settler violence possible in the first place? Brad Lander, we didn’t need you to fly to Palestine and get into a scuffle with settlers to prove you’re an ally. We needed you to stop investing our money in Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, while it profited from the genocide of our people. We needed you to stop proudly identifying as a Zionist while condemning Palestinian resistance. Palestinians don’t need your performative solidarity. We need you to stop supporting our oppressors. And those who stand with Palestine cannot allow these gestures to buy our trust, erase politicians’ records, or earn them our votes. A photo op in the West Bank does not absolve anyone of their complicity. Our standards for solidarity with Palestinian liberation cannot be lowered just because politicians have learned how to perform it.
I'm in the West Bank this week as part of the “Protect the Harvest” coalition along with @israelispeaceny, @ucpinpalestine & Protect the Harvest, which is bringing people together from around the world to help Palestinian farmers harvest olives in the face of state-sanctioned settler terrorism. Our goals for the trip are to help protect the olive harvest — and to shed a light on the reality of the occupation. To ensure that international solidarity goes beyond the harvest, to become a sustained commitment to protecting Palestinian communities from settler violence, forced displacement, and the ongoing threats to their right to remain on their land. And, speedily and in our day, to secure human rights, safety, equality & freedom for both Palestinians and Israelis. Thankfully, our corner of today's harvest was peaceful and successful. But violence unfortunately is never far away. We’ll keep you posted on our efforts this week, especially the stories we hear from Palestinians on the ground. Protect the Harvest.

Hace un par de años, Radwan nos recibió a mi esposa y a mí en la casa de su familia, cerca de la frontera con la Palestina ocupada; allí también tuve el placer de conocer a sus padres. Es triste pensar que este bello lugar —fruto de muchos años de esfuerzo— ya no existe, reducido a escombros por una entidad terrorista que pretende borrar los poblados del sur del Líbano junto con su gente. Pero encuentro consuelo al saber que, al final, los invasores fracasarán y serán expulsados ​​por los nativos, quienes reconstruirán una vez más. De eso no tengan la menor duda.
Two days ago, the Israeli army blew up the family home of journalist Radwan Mortada in Bint Jbeil The terrorist demolition of Radwan's home comes as his film exposing the players behind Israel's pager attack becomes the most viewed documentary in recent history at Al Jazeera
