BEING A “RADICAL” IS A MORAL IMPERATIVE WHEN OPPOSING GENOCIDE IS CLASSIFIED AS “RADICAL”

This New Protest Movement Is Driving Empire Managers Out Of Their Sadistic Minds, Which Means It’s Working And Must Continue.

The dumbest thing we’re asked to believe about Biden is that a politician who’s been an enthusiastic Zionist and virulent warmonger throughout his entire way-too-long political career privately has deep moral qualms about the genocide he’s been unconditionally supporting in Gaza.

Every time we listen to the song Hind’s Hall we get more disdainful of all the worthless, vapid celebrity artists who are refusing to step up and do something real for once in their pathetic lives.

Israel supporters are such psychopathic warmongers that they’re currently shrieking their lungs out at Biden for making a purely symbolic face-saving statement that he won’t give Israel the weapons to annihilate Rafah, despite the fact that he has already given Israel all the weapons it would need to annihilate Rafah.

The Washington Post reported the other day that “the Israeli military has enough weapons supplied by the U.S. and other partners to conduct the Rafah operation if it chooses to cast aside U.S. objections,” citing an anonymous senior official from the Biden administration. This has since been confirmed by the Israeli military, who says it has enough weapons to proceed with its planned Rafah invasion and that those plans will move forward.

A new poll from Data for Progress and Zeteo has found that a majority of Democrats believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and that the police crackdown against anti-genocide protesters is wrong, which kind of makes you wonder why they’re still identifying as Democrats. If Biden supporters believe Biden is guilty of genocide, what does that say about Biden supporters?

The New York Times has been given a Pulitzer for its scandalously discredited, notoriously biased and widely–mocked Gaza coverage. The Pulitzer Prize Awards Ceremony is literally just a bunch of propagandists giving each other trophies for being good at propaganda. Receiving one should be taken as an insult by anyone with a conscience.

House Democrats rescued Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday from Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene’s initiative to oust him over his support for the massive World War 3 spending bill. This was the first time in American history that a minority from either party has ever intervened to stop the majority party from removing their own speaker, because Democrats just love war that much.

And Republicans are even crazier, with GOP lawmakers promoting a bill to send college protesters to Gaza in the House and another separate bill in the Senate to have them put on a no-fly list as “terrorists”.

This new protest movement is driving empire managers out of their already crazy minds, which means it’s working and must continue. When opposing genocide is seen as radical, radicalism becomes a moral imperative.

To top it all off we’re still not out of the nuclear brinkmanship woods with Ukraine, and in fact it’s getting more dangerous.

Because of reckless comments from London approving the use of British weapons to attack Russian territory, Moscow has formally warned that if this happens it could directly attack British military installations in Ukraine.

Russia has also announced that it will be holding drills to simulate the use of tactical nukes in response to repeated assertions from French president Emmanuel Macron that sending NATO troops into Ukraine to fight Russia directly is an option that’s still on the table. Belarus, where nuclear weapons were recently deployed by Moscow, has announced that it will also be conducting drills to test its readiness for nuclear warfare.

Obviously direct hot warfare between NATO and Russia is an absolute nightmare scenario that must be avoided at all cost for the sake of every organism on this planet, and we are already way too close to it.

We’ve got to turn things around and stop this maniacal empire before it gets us all killed.

THE WORLD MIGHT BE SAVED BY GEN Z

There Are So Many Reasons To Feel Pessimistic, But Gen Z’s Fierce Opposition To The Gaza Genocide Is A Massive Reason To Have Hope For The Future.

Kids are taking over university campuses around the world for the noblest possible reason anyone could do such a thing in 2024. There are so many reasons to feel pessimistic, but Gen Z’s fierce opposition to the Gaza genocide is a massive reason to have hope for the future.

We talk all the time here about the need for a collective awakening in order to turn this disaster of a civilization around, but it could turn out that what ends up saving humankind is as mundane as a superior generation of humans emerging out of the information age and replacing inferior generations who’ve been far more indoctrinated by mass media propaganda.

Northeastern University brought in the police to break up a pro-Palestine demonstration, claiming antisemitic slurs and hate speech were being used by the demonstrators, but witnesses say it was actually pro-Israel counter-demonstrators who’d been shouting the antisemitic slogans, and a video confirms this. The pro-Israel agitators got some 100 demonstrators arrested by standing near them and shouting “Kill the Jews”, but they themselves were not arrested.

Whoever got this on video is a true hero. Now nobody can deny that this has been happening.

We keep seeing people expressing bafflement at the way Biden keeps alienating his base by shamelessly perpetuating the human butchery in Gaza. Doesn’t he care about getting re-elected?, they ask.

No, Biden does not care whether he gets re-elected, and neither do his empire manager handlers. What matters to them is advancing imperial interests in the middle east, not winning some pretend political puppet show that only exists to entertain and divert the common riff raff. They will happily lose the election and hand the genocidal baton off to Trump and his empire manager handlers who support all the same agendas as Biden’s.

Biden loses literally nothing of material relevance by being a one-term president, so there’d be no reason for him to step back from all the agreements he’s made with the inner workings of the empire to get him where he’s at now even if he wanted to.

One of the weirdest things happening right now is how empire managers and propagandists are claiming these campus protests are being fueled by foreign influence from evil regimes, even as the Israeli PM openly influences state governments to crack down on those protests.

If you’ve been shocked by the lies and propaganda your government and your media have been churning out about Gaza, it would probably be a good idea to take another look at what they’ve been telling you about Ukraine too. And Russia, China, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and Yemen while you’re at it.

The New York Times has a new Pentagon press release disguised as news reporting titled “A New Pacific Arsenal to Counter China,” subtitled “With missiles, submarines and alliances, the Biden administration has built a presence in the region to rein in Beijing’s expansionist goals.”

It’s exactly what it sounds like: it describes the American empire’s military encirclement of China, but frames it as a defensive action to counter “Beijing’s expansionist goals” rather than the extreme act of aggression and military expansionism that it actually is. If China started surrounding America with war machinery like this it would be World War Three instantaneously.

One of the dumbest things the imperial media ask us to believe is that the American empire is surrounding its #1 geopolitical rival with war machinery for defensive purposes, in response to “expansionist goals” by that rival who has zero war machinery anywhere near the United States.

So many of the awesome anti-imperialists we follow and admire got their start years ago supporting Palestinian rights. Israel-Palestine is like a gateway drug for anti-imperialism and anti-war activism for a lot of westerners, because the issue is so mainstream-adjacent due to the west’s intimacy with the Israeli state.

The Gaza genocide is going to give rise to a real antiwar movement in the west if the empire managers can’t find a way to stomp it out. Which is why they’re trying so hard to do exactly that — but their attempts thus far have been pathetic failures, and have only made things worse for them.

LEARN WHY THE AMERICAN REGIME & THE MEDIA ARE CALLING STUDENT PROTESTERS ANTISEMITES

One Reason They’ve Created A Controversy Over Student Protests Because They Want You To Think About Anything Other Than Israel’s Genocide In Gaza.

To understand the current headline-dominating furor over the protests taking place on college campuses against the war in Gaza, think about the death toll of each. As of the time of writing, more than thirty-four thousand Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza, almost certainly a massive undercount. On American campuses, that figure is zero.

It’s this cosmically vast discrepancy in terms of “harm” and “safety” that more than anything explains the absurd and ongoing freakout over college students protesting the war on Gaza — one that would be laughable if it weren’t so menacing.

Columbia University administrators have been hauled before Congress and pressured to crack down on faculty and students over their speech. The Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt has called for the National Guard to be sicced on protesters at Columbia — one of several figures to do so, including several American senators — knowing full well that the last time that happened, at Kent State in 1970, four students were killed. Supporters of Israel’s war, including the Israeli government itself, have hysterically labeled the protests — overwhelmingly comprised of students sitting in place and talking, sometimes dancing, often featuring large numbers of Jewish students — “terrorism,” “pogroms,” “riots,” and “mobs” seeking to destroy the country and that have led Jews to flee its borders.

One particularly histrionic war supporter has claimed in the Times of Israel that what’s happening on campuses “is 1938,” meaning Kristallnacht, when Nazis rampaged through Jewish neighborhoods lynching people and destroying homes, places of worship, and businesses. The result has been a wave of repression on campuses, with universities calling local police to arrest and detain their own students and faculty, many of them Jewish, for the crime of physically being on their own schools’ campuses, ending in-person classes, and barring them from physically returning, to the point of even erecting plywood barricades.

Meanwhile, what has been happening over in Gaza during this same week, as student protesters were being vilified and arrested for trying to make Israel’s military campaign in the territory end?

At Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, Palestinians have uncovered a series of mass graves that have revealed more than three hundred dead Palestinians and counting, some of them with their hands tied, while a different mass grave was dug up at the ruins of Al-Shifa hospital where nearly four hundred bodies were exhumed. At the same time, the famine Israel has deliberately engineered continues to spread as both UN aid workers and the EU’s top foreign policy official report there has been “very little significant change” in terms of humanitarian aid coming in and that its entry is still “being hindered” by Israel.

Earlier this week, an Israeli airstrike killed twenty-two people largely from one extended family as they slept, eighteen of them children. Before that, strikes on two homes killed nine people, including six kids, while a man lost his entire family, including his wife, kids, and grandkids, when Israel bombed his family home before that. And before that, five kids were among the eleven Palestinians killed by a spate of attacks on Rafah, meant to be the “safe zone” that 1.5 million displaced Palestinians have been corralled into.

At one point, fifty-four Palestinians were killed over one twenty-four-hour period, the same one in which Yale University had sixty people on its campus arrested because “the situation was no longer safe.” On the same day that the chair of Columbia’s board of trustees declared there was a “moral crisis on our campus” and called the behavior of protesters “unacceptable,” UNICEF’s spokesperson announced that two-thirds of all houses in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed by the Israeli military.

While the war’s cheerleaders and school administrators register their concern over the menace of students camping — or, even more horrifying, of their students being unable to hear chirping birds while listening to John Cage’s four-and-a-half-minute-long silent composition — UN experts last week warned Gaza may be the victim of “scholasticide,” with 80 percent of the territory’s schools damaged or destroyed. All the while, the “apocalyptic” Israeli plans to invade Rafah, in the words of one refugee agency head — and which even the American state department admits it’s not possible to safely evacuate — are set to happen “very soon,” even as Israeli forces continue bombing and shelling the famine-stricken north.

Keeping in mind this small sampling of the death and destruction going on in Gaza right now, any reasonable person might ask: How on Earth is it possible that anyone could be most concerned about some students sitting around in makeshift camps and occasionally saying some impolite or stupid things in American colleges?

To ask the question is to answer it. Over the past six months, Israel’s response to Hamas’s incursion in October has been so disproportionate, indiscriminate, and savage that the war and its backers have not only lost any moral high ground they might have had, they’ve lost the American public as a whole.

With the war now deeply unpopular, and only losing more hearts and minds every day as Americans watch the list of Israeli atrocities pile up and up, its supporters have decided their only recourse is to simply gin up a controversy to draw the media and politicians’ attention away from what has been widely declared a genocide in Gaza, while simultaneously making themselves, the supporters of this crime, out to be the real victims.

This is why we’ve now seen several unseemly, often embarrassing attempts by the war’s supporters to manufacture victimhood at the hands of the nonviolent protesters. Columbia professor Shai Davidai — criticized across the political spectrum for his alarm over watching an Islamic prayer — unsuccessfully tried to force an altercation with the very protesters he said were Nazis who made him fear for his life. One woman filmed herself walking into the middle of an encampment, declaring that she was Jewish and demanding “Doxx me,” only for no one to pay her the slightest attention. Another claimed she had been “stabbed in the eye,” only for video footage to show what had actually happened: a protester waving a Palestinian flag happened to poke her in the eye with the end of a flagstick as he walked past.

And it’s worked. The “stabbed in the eye” story has been uncritically reported far and wide. Outlets like the New York Times and CNN have made the campus protests front-page news, while comparatively burying reporting on the Israeli atrocities mentioned above. The political urgency around conditioning American aid to Israel has evaporated, as politicians instead call for alarming measures like siccing the National Guard on students (while throwing more military aid to Israel to carry out more atrocities).

As tends to happen when authorities respond heavy-handedly to protests, Columbia and others’ arrests of students is already backfiring, bringing them negative publicity and inspiring similar, larger, and more militant protests to spring up in solidarity and outrage. But as the campus standoffs take up more headlines, don’t forget what this is all really about: trying to get us to talk about something, anything, other than the ongoing mass murder in Gaza that the American regime could stop at any moment.
