Wouldn’t be the first time the US arms both the Kurds and who they’re fighting again in order to destabilize the region

To be fair, this administration’s CIA is likely far less competent now that it’s filled with loyalists, like every other department now

They aren’t simply ‘happy to see’ like some kind of observer, they are actively co-opting genuine protests for their own ends, at the expense of the Iranian people.

I’m all for Iranian people plotting their own course

The problem is that the US/Israel isn’t and will do everything they can to plot their own course instead

Both can be true, it’s annoying some people can’t understand that

I shouldn’t be difficult to understand that the Iranian people have legitimate grievances and support their right to demand change, while also understanding that US and Israeli forces are doing whatever they can to co-opt the protests for their own foreign policy goal

You can’t ‘both sides’ 76 years of Apartheid and genocide. It’s as ridiculous as ‘both sides’-ing the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

I think you’re a Zionist

UN Report Details Vast, Systemic Torture of Palestinians in Israeli Detention

“Welcome to Hell” is a report on the abuse and inhuman treatment of Palestinians held in Israeli custody since 7 October 2023. B’Tselem collected testimonies from 55 Palestinians held during that time and released, almost all with no charges. Their testimonies reveal the outcomes of the rushed transformation of more than a dozen Israeli prison facilities, military and civilian, into a network of camps dedicated to the abuse of inmates as a matter of policy. Facilities in which every inmate is deliberately subjected to harsh, relentless pain and suffering operate as de-facto torture camps.

Yemen is peak anti-colonialism. Which unfortunately comes with religious conservatism as a reaction against colonial forces. Fanon discusses this at length in the context of Algeria.

Gaza Holocaust Foundation

As you said, Israel will kill Palestinians or any Arab they find convenient regardless.

For those in the crosshairs, opposition to genocide is not optional. Yemen has a very long history of fighting imperialist ambitions, they are one of the few with genuine solidarity that dare to take direct action to end the genocide and Zionist colonialism

Israel is a deeply fascist society at it’s core

Even then, a standing military is key to sovereignty

It’s an L for Iran in respect to killed military commanders and civilian toll, but an ever greater L to Israel because they not only failed the goal of regime change (if anything, made it more difficult by bombing Iranian civilians) but also experienced a breakdown in their defense capabilities and got bombarded for 12 days, breaking the facade that Israel is unable to experience repercussions for their violent aggressions

I hope to see more of these kinds of attempts to break the genocidal blockade

With this ‘deal’ Israel would no doubt continue it’s genocidal campaign after 7 days once the hostages are out. And once they are, they would certainly ramp it up even more than the current death and starvation campaign is

Israeli strikes killed six Palestinian guards protecting aid trucks on Friday, as they were being attacked by looters, in what appears to be the latest coordination between the army and local gangs.

According to Anadolu Agency, the six were killed and others wounded in Deir al-Balah while attempting to “secure the arrival of aid trucks to international organisation warehouses in the city”.

Armed individuals began attacking the aid trucks to loot the supplies, local media reported. As security forces tried to repel the assailants and safeguard the aid, Israeli warplanes launched strikes in the area.

Civilians were also targeted during the intense bombardment. Ambulance crews responding to rescue the wounded and retrieve the bodies of the dead reportedly came under fire as well.

The media office said targeted personnel were “performing purely humanitarian tasks,” including securing two trucks carrying essential medicines and medical supplies destined for hospitals in affected areas.

“It’s a complete crime and reveals the true intentions of the Israeli occupation to disrupt the flow of humanitarian and medical aid and create a state of chaos and anarchy.”

The media office added that such attacks are further proof of the Israeli army’s role in enabling the looting of humanitarian aid and essential supplies, stating it aims “to ensure they do not reach their beneficiaries by targeting those who organise and ensure their safe passage”.

The gangs are aided by Israel

Israel is aiding criminal gangs in Rafah, some of who are affiliated with the Islamic State (IS), to loot humanitarian aid under military protection, sources in Gaza, including civil society leaders, police officials, and a UN official, have told The New Arab.

While refusing to intervene against these armed criminals, Israeli forces are opening fire against local policemen attempting to prevent the looting.

• How Israel is aiding armed gangs in Gaza to sow societal collapse

Israel has not presented specific evidence for its claim that Hamas is diverting U.N. aid, and its recent targeted killings of Gaza police commanders safeguarding truck convoys have made it “virtually impossible” to distribute the goods safely, a top U.S. envoy said in rare public criticism of Israel.
