Houston Texans Player Aziz Al-Shaair continued writing the names of children slaughtered in Gaza on the strips of his face during games in the NFL 2026 season, insisting on his position despite repeated warnings and fines from league management. Good on him!

Shame on the NFL shilling for Israel! It’s disgusting!

If everyone was principled as Aziz, the world would be heaven.

Free Palestine!

An Israeli occupation strike hit her family’s home while she slept, and she screamed as her mother burned to death in front of her. Her father was killed at the start of the genocide. Maryam is now an orphan, and her grandmother is all she has left. In this clip, the speaker asks what she did to deserve this, and says she survived only to bear witness against a world that has watched Gaza for three years and done nothing: witness to its betrayal, and to its silence. The Israeli occupation army has killed nearly 22,000 children in Gaza. “Speak up,” he says. “See us.”

Israeli Fascist Superiority Are Most Jews STILL Zionist? One Year Later

"Based on the latest polling evidence, little has fundamentally changed. While favorability toward Israel and approval of its conduct have shifted somewhat, overall support for Israel—particularly its status as a "Jewish state"—remains nearly unchanged, with the vast majority of Jews continuing to back the Zionist project, even as they express reservations about its current government.

So one must ask: given the facts presented here—nearly three years into a genocide carried out by the “Jewish state,” by Jews, for Jews, at the expense of non-Jews, with the overwhelming support of Jews worldwide—why does the Western “pro-Palestine” movement spend so much time and energy doing free PR for Jews? Why go so far as to lie on their behalf about what they actually believe? The Western left loves to talk about "centring voices." Well, this is what they've said. So why speak over them?"

War Crimes All of Shuja’iyya is now under the full control of the Israeli occupation army. Since Sunday, Israeli occupation forces have been pushing the Yellow Line west through one of Gaza City’s largest neighbourhoods, dragging the yellow concrete blocks forward at night until they sit right beside the tents

In parts of western Shuja’iyya, the blocks are now just 10 metres from Salah Al-Din Street. Families woke to heavy gunfire from military vehicles and quadcopters aimed at their tents, and hundreds have fled in the dark with nowhere to go and not even a tent waiting for them. “It destroyed everything,” the man filming says, “and turned this area into fire and rubble on whoever remained.” This morning, the occupation also moved the line forward in neighbouring Al-Tuffah, along the same road. Palestinian researchers say the Yellow Line now confines Gaza’s population to about 40 percent of the Strip, and a year into the ceasefire, that space shrinks every few nights.

History & Culture You guys definitely know how much I hate zionist historical revisionism

16 Upvotes
  1. Israeli Zionists always talk about the ceding of the Sinai Peninsula as if it was some altruistic, peace-loving initiative from Israel coming from the purely good hearts of Israelis, though more accurately, the USA and USSR pressured Israel to step down, plus Israel didn't want to go into much deeper bullshit with one of the biggest and strongest Arab countries for it plus USA gave them a very good incentive (military, financial, technological aid) to give up the Sinai peninsula so it had very little reason to keep it at that point.
  2. The Six-Day War wasn't the David vs. Goliath situation Zionists very much like to tell you it is. First of all, Egypt, one of the strongest Arab countries at that time, was operationally unready for the war because of the Yemen quagmire it had not long before the war against Israel. Second of all, Syria was a paper tiger; it had undergone multiple violent and destabilizing political coups and had governance instability in the years leading up to 1967, and its military was designed more to crush internal threats rather than to fight outside threats. Third of all, Jordan was dragged into the war unprepared and with highly compromised security, it's leaders admitted it was a mistake to rely on other Arab nations. Yes, Arab states had an advantage in raw armament numbers, but they were largely disorganised and unprepared; while the USSR shipped them advanced equipment, their troops lacked the technical training to maintain or effectively operate this advanced hardware. On the other hand, Pissrael, like the cocksucking entity it is, got its equipment and military training from its sugar daddies, I mean- loyal allies, with France being the biggest anchor for the war at that time, as every single combat aircraft during the war was French-made. It was armed with the absolute pinnacle of Western military technology and spent over a decade mastering them for its genocidal ambitions, just like true fascists do, you know? On the other hand, the Arabs were working around with newish and unfamiliar Soviet weapon imports because they had less time in total to figure out the best use of them. So yeah, it totally wasn't a David vs. Goliath scenario if you ask any sane person educated on the subject.
  3. The Six-Day War wasn't a war where Israel was wrongfully victimised, hated, and attacked for no reason by Arab neighbours. Israel was provoking border skirmishes on its northern border with Syria; it needed a pretext for its expansionist policies, so it easily found one. Syria, normally and reasonably, fired on the tractors in the Golan Heights, and Israel reacted disproportionately like any warmongering terrorist state would. Even Moshe Dayan, who served as Israel’s Chief of Staff in the 1950s and Defense Minister during the 1967 Six-Day War admitted that at least 80 percent of the border clashes with Syria were deliberately provoked by Israel.

This is what pisses me off most about the historical revisionism of Israeli-supporting Western media and Israeli media. Palestinians were totally justified in rejecting the shitty border proposals during the partition; long-standing Christian and Arab communities understandably didn't want to wake up with an oppressive, land-hungry ethnostate near them, with a population that barely considers them human but rather as mere obstacles/human animals that get in their way during their plunder of the "promised" land. Bibi always likes to tell us that Palestinians always rejected peace proposals because they supposedly fetishized death and destruction, not because they were subjugated and terrorised on their own land and always given unfair proposals. I needed to get this off my chest because the grave injustices were perpetually in my head every day these recent months, as I got more exposed to raw images on sites of amputated and starving toddlers, grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, and mothers, all thanks to the world's most demonic army. Thank you for reading this. I try my best to get informed. Love and support from Moldova; I completely sympathise. Hopefully my country's government can recognize Palestine soon. 🇲🇩 ❤️ 🇵🇸
