Sky News Smears Greta Thunberg As A Nazi To Justify IDF Attack
Shortly before the IDF raided the Madleen, Sky News host Jonathan Samuels strongly implied that the ship deserved to be attacked because it is full of antisemites and Hamas supporters.

Offending Zionists Is Good, Actually
I can't believe it's 2025 and people are still worried about offending Zionists. Oh gosh I'd better issue an apology, I've upset the people who are cheerleading an active genocide. Better be careful how I word this or I might seem insensitive to people who think it's fine to bomb hospitals and burn children alive. Oh no I can't say that because if I do I'll be in hot water with the "intentionally starving civilians is good" crowd.

A Truth-Based Relationship With Reality Requires Courage
Ultimately it comes down to courage. Being brave enough to stare squarely at the horrors of Gaza. To face the harsh reality that we are ruled by monsters and our civilization is diseased. To bring our own inner darkness into the light of consciousness where it can be healed.

Epstein, Israel, ISIS, Palantir
There's no reason to take seriously anything Elon Musk says during a textbook case of narcissistic collapse, but for the record if anyone in Washington is likely to have been blackmailed by Epstein it's Donald John Trump.

Zen And The Art Of New York Times Headline Writing
It's amazing how creative these freaks get when they need to publicly exonerate Israel and its western allies of their crimes. The IDF commits a war crime and suddenly these stuffy mass media editors who've never created any art in their lives transform into poets, bending and twisting the English language to come up with lines that read more like Zen koans than reporting on an important news event.

This Is Israel
All those dead kids on your social media feed are the fruit of a tree whose seed was planted after the second world war. That tree has been bearing more and more fruit, and it will continue to for as long as it remains standing. Because that's just the kind of tree it is. The only kind of tree it ever could have been.

Israel's Backers Are Now Advocating The Assassination Of Greta Thunberg
US Senator Lindsay Graham has just tweeted an article titled “Greta Thunberg sets sail with Gaza flotilla that aims to break Israeli naval blockade,” adding the comment, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!”
Australian Zionist think tanker Arsen Ostrovsky somehow outdid Graham, tweeting “Oh look, the little jihadi Greta Thunberg is trying to get into Gaza, to show solidarity with Hamas. It would be so sad if something were to happen to her flotilla…”
There’s not a lot that can shock me about Israel and its supporters these days. But if you’d traveled back in time a few years ago it would be hard to explain to someone how we got to a timeline that includes Israel supporters openly advocating the assassination of Greta Thunberg.

We've seen multiple reports from doctors documenting Israeli forces actually entering hospitals they've attacked and destroying all the individual pieces of medical equipment in those facilities, one by one.

If This Is What Israel Does, Then Israel Shouldn't Exist
If what we are seeing in Gaza is what it means for Israel to exist, then it shouldn't.
People scream bloody murder when you say this, but it shouldn't be a controversial position. I'm not saying Jews shouldn't exist, I'm saying a genocidal apartheid state should not exist. A state is an artificial construct of the human mind, held together by human actions. If the actions we are witnessing in Gaza are the product of the artificial construct of the Israeli state, then that artificial construct should be dismantled, and those actions should cease.

Sorry If This Is Antisemitic But I Think It's Wrong To Burn Children Alive
srael is burning children alive in Gaza. And call me an antisemitic Jew-hating Nazi terrorist lover if you must, but I happen to believe that's wrong.
