  1. 1. No — Israel does not have the right to “defend itself” while it is the occupying power. Under international law, an occupying military force cannot claim “self-defense” against the very population it occupies. This is the position of: UN General Assembly International Court of Justice (ICJ) International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Dozens of UN Special Rapporteurs To call colonized, occupied people “terrorists” for resisting occupation is simply the modern language of empire. The type of language used by the "Human Animals" among us. Anyone who claim the European Jews who occupied Palestine under British Mandate of Palestine are exactly what Israel & Jews represent. The most Evil among humanity. The "Human Animals" that are a threat to humanity. 2. When Israel was created through UNGA Resolution 181 (1947), the UN partitioned the land into two states: A Jewish state on 55% of Mandatory Palestine. *UN looted the Arab lands for European Jews. The biggest "WRONG" in human history. An Arab state on 45%. . Everything beyond that 1947 designation — including: West Bank East Jerusalem Gaza’s borders The Golan Heights Lebanese territory (Shebaa Farms, Kfar Shuba hills) is occupied territory under international law, and Israel has no legal sovereignty there. So Israel has no right to “exist” or “defend itself” inside someone else’s land. 3. Israel does not have a blank cheque to “defend itself” while occupying land that does not belong to it. Its legal right (in the sense that UN owned Palestine Lands) was limited to the 1947 UN-designated territory—not to Lebanon, not to Gaza, not to the West Bank, and not to Syrian land. IT IS A FACT THAT Palestine existed long before Judaism, before the Covenant with Abraham AS, and long before the first Jew was born or Jew RELATED tribes emerged. **Note. Only 2 Tribes out of 12 are termed Jews. Balance 10 Tribes were not. Jews hunted and killed most of them. And the propaganda that “Jews = Bani Israel = modern Israel” is a historical distortion: A CONCOCTION, A POISONOUS COCKTAIL OF LIES. Bani Israel were the descendants of Jacob AS; Jews and today's Judaism (THE CURSE ON HUMANITY) appeared centuries later; and the modern State of EUROPEAN JEW Israel is neither of them. Those who support Israel today simply stand with a colonial project that has used war, displacement, and genocide before and after its creation — nothing more.
  2. It is not because “white people” as individuals are "cruel". It is because Western power systems — governments, elites, corporations, and militaries — are built on JEW'S CONTROL: FACT. The Jew's rule supreme. They see themselves as the Master of the Human Race with non-Jew human being their slaves. This is how they asserted their control over the world. Every single "War Machine" in Europe, USA, UK (The Collective West) ARE OWNED BY JEWS. Every single major Bank is owned by Jews. (The World's Financial system rotates within Jew's full control. THE SWIFT). Every major news outlet (The Media) is owned by Jews who controls the narrative. 25 Million Jews world wide NOW FULLY CONTROLS the 8 BILLION HUMAN POPULATION. TREAT IS AS MERE SLAVES. Colonial DNA The West did not become rich by “civilization” — it became rich by: colonizing and looting 90% of the world exterminating indigenous peoples stealing land under "Genocide Protocol"(Americas, Australia, Africa, Asia) controlling resources by looting and owning. enslaving millions Israel is the leading colonial template. The West sees it as a continuation of its own colonial worldview. Guilt + The Holocaust = Free Pass for Jews atrocities against humanity. After WWII, European governments (wanted to get Jews out of Europe), not protect them. **Was it this or Jews already control the Western Governments and needed to expand? Yes it is the fact. *Remember 'Pre - World Wars Jews' were able to take UK, USA and France to invade Ottoman Empire to conquer Middle East and loot Palestine for Jews. The Jews were the masters even then who formulated the invasion. The slaves of Jews did what Jews needed. They openly admitted: “Give the Jews a state in Palestine, not in Europe.” How Europe and USA did it: Britain supported Zionist militias long before 1948. **Jews funded the invasion of Ottoman Empire to settle down in Palestine. Germany and most of Europe funds Israel’s weapons to this day. The US calls Israel its “strategic ally” and funds every need of every single Jew/Israeli in The State of Israel at the cost of USA's economical bankrupcy. Their motive was self-interest, not morality. Palestinians paid the price for European crimes and Jew's whims. Israel Is the West’s Military Base in the Middle East. (A dual purpose self interest) LOOTING OF MIDDLE EAST OIL AND RESOURCES. Israel is not a “victim.” It is: The Master and Owner of the total West. A Western-backed Jew military fortress. The joint operations with the White West. It provides: EMPOWERS TOTAL SUPREMACY OF JEWS IN MIDDLE EAST. regional intelligence for the US & NATO a weapons testing ground using humans as 'lab rats'. a loyal anti-Arab, anti-Muslim outpost control over Middle Eastern geopolitics for Jews and Jew owned West. This is why the West funds it even during genocide. Protection of looted Oil & Sea Routes. The West needs the Middle East for: oil. Mostly looted like in Syria etc. trade routes naval bases countering China & Russia Militarized Israel helps EU, USA enforce Western dominance with all these countries following and under Israel's Leadership.
  3. Humanity Cannot Survive Western Ideology in Its Current Form** The West taught its citizens for centuries that: they are morally superior, their violence is justified, their interests override others’ rights, some humans matter and others do not. This is not “civilization.” This is systemic barbarism covered with PR slogans. To protect humanity, the world must: expose the lies, disarm the propaganda, rehabilitate the conditioned minds, and ensure the next generation grows up free from digital indoctrination. Only then can humanity breathe without fearing Western bombs, Western sanctions, or Western fabricated narratives. The era of Western mental colonialism must end — or the world’s suffering will never stop. 1. The Core Problem: Western Civilization Never Evolved — It Only Rebranded Its Barbarism From colonial conquests to Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and now Gaza, the West has maintained one consistent operating system: Invade, pillage, extract, justify, repeat. These countries were built on genocide, slavery, and the belief that they are morally entitled to dominate the planet. Nothing changed. Only the marketing improved. The colonial flag was replaced with “democracy,” “human rights,” “counterterrorism,” and “rules-based order” — all meaningless slogans masking the same violence. 2. The Western Public Is Not Innocent — It Is Manufactured The Western citizen is not born cruel; they are engineered into it. The Machinery: Propaganda schools Sanitized history Racist mythology Militarized entertainment Algorithmic brainwashing 24/7 media conditioning Digital addiction beginning in childhood This produces a population that can: watch genocide in Gaza and call it “self-defense,” cheer for bombing nations they can’t locate on a map, dehumanize entire populations on command, and blindly follow whichever colonial flag is raised next. The world is not dealing with “misinformed” people. The world is dealing with systematically conditioned colonial minds. 3. Why the West Needs De-Brainwashing — Now A brainwashed society is dangerous not only to itself, but to the rest of humanity. The Western world behaves like: A self-appointed global police A resource extraction mafia A military cartel led by the United States NATO as enforcers UK and France as aging colonial parasites Gaza exposed this entire structure in raw daylight. The moral mask is gone. All that remains is brutality with a press release. Unless Western populations are de-programmed, the cycle of invasion and plunder will continue — justified by new excuses, new slogans, new lies. 4. Children: The Last Line of Defense Modern Western children are raised by: TikTok YouTube Predatory algorithms Corporations Zionist-owned media structures Parents are not parenting. Screens are parenting. The result: Zero emotional regulation Zero empathy Zero attention span Zero capacity to challenge propaganda A society built on digital zombification cannot produce ethical adults. Thus, protecting children from the predatory information ecosystem is the only way to stop the next generation from becoming worse than the current one. 5. Adults: Radicalized Beyond Awareness Western adults have lived their entire lives inside an information cage. Trying to de-brainwash them requires: breaking their identity, destroying the propaganda they believe is “truth,” exposing the violence they supported, showing them the full HD reality of what Western bombs do to human beings. This is not “education reform.” This is psychological decolonization. It will be painful. Most will resist. But without it, global peace is impossible. 6. The De-Brainwashing Plan: Aggressive and Unapologetic 1. Rip the Mythology Apart Force Western nations to confront: their colonial massacres, their coups, their stolen resources, their genocides, their fabricated wars. No sugarcoating. No “balanced debate.” Just the raw truth. 2. Criminalize Propaganda Regulate media monopolies. Expose government influence operations. Ban military-funded entertainment propaganda. 3. Algorithmic Disarmament Break the digital brainwashing machines: Make algorithms transparent. Block child-targeted psychological manipulation. Remove political and military propaganda from children’s platforms. 4. Mass Psychological Rehabilitation Programmes Not optional. Mandatory. Using: cognitive dissonance exposure, empathy shock, uncensored war reality footage, dehumanization reversal, and structured group rehumanization sessions. 5. Global Accountability Tribunals Just like the world forced Germany to face its crimes, the world must now force: USA UK France NATO states to confront and answer for post-WW2 atrocities, from Vietnam to Iraq to Libya to Gaza. Only through legal and moral consequences can any society truly change. 7. The Global Reality: The West Will Not Change Voluntarily The West only reforms when: It loses power, or Its lies lose their effect. Both are happening now: Global South rising Multipolar world emerging Western propaganda losing reach Gaza breaking the moral façade Youth rejecting colonial narratives This moment must be seized. De-brainwashing the West is not an act of mercy — it is an act of global self-defense.
  4. Out of the continuous brainwashing of American public, this is just one incident. How this was made possible? only because Jews own USA. How the Jews incessantly hammered the idea of a catastrophic event, how Jews themselves conducted 9/11 and got America to invade 7 Muslim countries and took over the remaining of West Bank and Gaza for the Jews and Israel. The Pillage of Palestine. The series of continuous events. 1979: Mossad founder Isser Harel allegedly predicts Islamic terror attack on NYC’s tallest buildings. (The Twin Towers). 1979: Netanyahu organizes the first major international anti-terrorism conference. (The looting of Palestine) 1986–1990s: Netanyahu publishes works preparing ideological foundations for a global “War on Terror.” (The looting of Palestine) 1996: Richard Perle’s “Clean Break” advises Netanyahu to restructure the Middle East through pressure and fragmentation. 1997: Perle, Wolfowitz, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc., gather under PNAC to push for U.S. supremacy and Middle East regime change. 2000: PNAC’s “Rebuilding America’s Defenses” states transformation will be slow “without a new Pearl Harbor.” 2001: PNAC members enter the White House. (The Jews got elected by American Public into White House to wage wars and plunder) 9/11 occurs nine months later. (The Dancing Jews) The U.S. begins wars exactly in the theaters outlined by “Clean Break” and PNAC.
  5. The Facts. For 2,500 years, the land of Palestine has witnessed bloodshed because one group "Jews" claims exclusive ownership of God’s covenant NOT THE ISRAELITES — a covenant they, THE JEWS did not originate, and one that never gave them the right to dispossess others. Even their own texts contradict their modern claim: They wrote that Jacob wrestled with God and won — later edited to fight “an angel.”. A brazen lie that belittles the Almighty Creator. Jacob was then named Israel, meaning “one who struggles with God.” This name belonged to a family of 12 tribes, THE 12 SONS OF JACOB AND THEIR DESCENDENTS, not to one tribe — and certainly not to a modern political movement. Now here is the historical reality: The vast majority of today’s Jews are not descended from ancient inhabitants of Palestine or the Israelites (The 12sons of Jacob) They lived for centuries in Europe, Russia, the Americas, and the UK, not in Palestine. Their migration into Palestine began only about 100 years ago, under colonial sponsorship, not divine command. Summary: The Most Notable Declarations Before 1920, the major Zionist declarations were: Alkalai’s writings (1830s–50s) Kalischer’s proto-Zionism (1836–62) Moses Hess “Rome and Jerusalem” (1862) Jewish settlement movements (1870s–1880s) Ḥovevei Zion (1881–1897) Baltimore Jewish Conference (1899) Basel Congress — Zionist Program (1897) Herzl’s Der Judenstaat (1896) After 1920, the British & Americans signed on: 9. Balfour Declaration (1917) 10. San Remo (1920) 11. League of Nations Mandate (1922) 12. US Congressional Approval (1922) The Covenant never authorized foreign populations to invade, expel, or replace the native people. Modern Zionists claim an ancient covenant but act with the same colonial patterns seen in: European settlers in the Americas Apartheid South Africa India under the British Any empire claiming “God gave us this land” A covenant cannot be used as a weapon of dispossession. Truth: God’s promise to Abraham was never a license for ethnic cleansing. The land was never promised to a European nationalist movement formed in the 19th century. The covenant was with all tribes of Israel, not with modern political Zionism. The tragedy of Palestine today is not divine destiny — it is the result of modern colonialism wrapped in ancient scripture.
  6. Newsweek 'Death to Israel' Displayed Across Chicago After Hackers Change Billboards Story by Marie Boran • 10h • Several electronic billboards in Chicago were hacked on Wednesday to display messages such as "Death to Israel" and implicated popular YouTuber MrBeast. The billboards, located in the suburb of Northbrook, began displaying the offensive messages around 5:30 p.m. Commuters were confronted with slogans like "Death to Israel" and "F*** Israel," both set against the backdrop of a Palestinian flag. The messages remained visible for at least an hour before being taken down around 7 p.m. The billboards included the text "Paid for by MrBeast LLC," referencing the YouTuber whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson. At least one billboard included an image of his face beside the text. In a statement to Fox 32 Chicago, a spokesperson for MrBeast said that neither he nor his company had any involvement in the hack and wanted the content removed straight away: "MrBeast did not pay for this billboard and after being made aware of its existence, we contacted our attorneys and the authorities about how to have it immediately removed." Congressman Brad Schneider, who represents Illinois' 10th District, was among the first to respond. "This disgusting, intimidating display has no place in the 10th District, or anywhere in America," he told Fox 32 Chicago. "Notable that this sign is located in a community with a large Jewish population, in close proximity to a Jewish day school, at the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot," added Schneider who contacted local police and the billboard company, Outfront Media, to demand immediate action and an investigation into how the messages were posted. Outfront Media confirmed that the billboards were hacked. By 7 p.m., the company had taken the signs down and shut off the displays entirely. In a statement, it said, "We are aware of this incident. The copy has been removed and the situation is being investigated." A stock photo of blank billboard advertising on a highway. Hacked billboards in Chicago temporarily displayed antisemitic messages on Wednesday, October 16. Nur Kayat/Getty Images© Nur Kayat/Getty Images The Village of Northbrook and local organizations condemned the incident, as reported by Fox 32 Chicago. "The Northbrook Village Board unequivocally condemns antisemitism and all acts of hate speech. We stand together with the Jewish community, family members, friends, and neighbors. Northbrook is an inclusive community and welcomes all," the village's statement said. Both Northbrook police and the media company are now investigating the source of the hack, and it remains unclear who was behind the attack. No individual hacker or hacker group has come forward yet to claim the billboards. The name MrBeast may have been included as part of an attempt by hackers to capitalize on the YouTuber's history of buying up billboards for campaigns; in 2018, MrBeast purchased multiple billboards to promote fellow YouTuber PewDiePie during his subscriber race against Bollywood channel T-Series. The YouTuber has been in the spotlight in recent days after accusations surfaced that he allegedly profited over $10 million by promoting and then dumping several altcoins, including SuperFarmDAO's token. Blockchain investigator SomaXBT raised concerns, claiming MrBeast invested in low-cap crypto projects, promoted them to his vast audience, and later sold off his shares, causing token prices to plummet. While there's no indication of illegal activity, this has sparked ethical debates within the cryptocurrency community about the implications of such actions.
  7. Salamun 'alaykum, we hear a lot about Islamic unity, so I ask: What should unity be based upon and with whom is it possible? Allah ta'ala says: 5:2 وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلْبرِّ وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَلاَ تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَانِ ٢ And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. ___ And: 3:104 وَلْتَكُن مِّنْكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنْكَرِ وَأُوْلَـٰئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ١٠٤ And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful. ___ So Islamic unity should be based upon enjoying all that is good and cooperation in righteousness / piety and opposing all froms of evil, corruption and oppression. As such unity is not possible with people, who do not see any need for a change and who think that oppression and oppressors should not be opposed. What is the point of unity with a people, who argue for the oppressors or at least accept the status quo and this in clear opposition to the Book of Allah ta'ala by following the footsteps of the wrongdoers of those from the nations before us?!: 5:79 كَانُواْ لاَ يَتَنَاهَوْنَ عَن مُّنكَرٍ فَعَلُوهُ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُواْ يَفْعَلُونَ ٧٩ They used not to prevent one another from wrongdoing that they did. How wretched was that which they were doing. ___ Their state is similar to that of those who lack true faith and are in fact in doubt. So depending on them leads only to increase in confusion and chaos: 9:47 لَوْ خَرَجُواْ فِيكُم مَّا زَادُوكُمْ إِلاَّ خَبَالاً ولأَوْضَعُواْ خِلاَلَكُمْ يَبْغُونَكُمُ ٱلْفِتْنَةَ وَفِيكُمْ سَمَّاعُونَ لَهُمْ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِٱلظَّالِمِينَ ٤٧ Had they gone forth with you, they would not have increased you except in confusion, and they would have been active among you, seeking [to cause] you fitnah [i.e., chaos and dissension]. And among you are avid listeners to them. And Allāh is Knowing of the wrongdoers. ___
  8. Salamun 'alaykum, our brothers and sisters are getting slaughtered left and right and all some people can do is to show hatred towards other Muslims due to some differences in their school of thought. The issue doesn't even stop here! Some of these people are happy that the oppressors have killed Muslims that they disagree with! Let no one try to fool himself! Allah ta'ala is the Most Just and your secterian ideas will not lead to your salvation, but rather to the opposite! And if someone says "but look what they did in Syria and Iraq", then the answer is: And did you forget what people from the opposing side did there?! Or is it that you're blind to your own faults and only see the faults of one side? 5:8 يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُونُوا۟ قَوَّٰمِينَ لِلَّهِ شُهَدَآءَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۖ وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَـَٔانُ قَوْمٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا۟ ۚ ٱعْدِلُوا۟ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ٨ O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allāh, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allāh; indeed, Allāh is [fully] Aware of what you do. ___
  9. Urgent Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “I tell the Turks that Istanbul will soon become the capital of the Jews. All you have to do is wait for the surprise.” There is no middle ground in the path of creation of Greater Israel by the Zionist today. Israel will keep on taking what ever it wants as the USA, UK, UN and EU fully backs Israel. The difference this time is Israel will exterminate the existing humanity in these lands so that none can come back later to claim the lands.
  10. The Nation Follow 8.6K Followers Black Liberation and Palestinian Liberation Are Interconnected Opinion by Nina Turner,Rashida Tlaib Activism / We must come together to fight for justice at home and around the world, write Nina Turner and Rashida Tlaib. Nina Turner and Rashida Tlaib From Detroit to Cleveland to Gaza, and everywhere in between, we must fight for a world built on equal rights, freedom from oppression, and human dignity for all people. In the words of civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” The collective liberation of oppressed people everywhere is intertwined, and we must come together to fight for justice at home and around the world. In this spirit, it has been deeply inspiring to see organizations focused on Black liberation, from the NAACP to the Council of Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to The King Center, embrace the cause of Palestinian human rights. All of these groups have called for a cease-fire in Gaza—and recently, the NAACP, the nation’s leading civil rights organization, went a step further, urging the Biden administration to stop weapons shipments to Israel. This courageous declaration by the NAACP is the latest example of the shared struggle for Black and Palestinian liberation. When we come together in solidarity to build a multi-racial, cross-faith, multi-generational movement, we realize our power to bend the arc of the moral universe. Just as our civil rights leaders who came before us did, we all have a moral responsibility to speak out against injustice everywhere and dismantle systemic racism, white supremacy, and all systems of oppression. We also have to unite because our struggles are so interconnected; for instance, according to US Census Bureau estimates, the poverty rate is 33.8 percent in Detroit and 31.8 percent in Cleveland—two of the highest rates among America’s largest cities. In a country that wastes trillions of dollars on war while continuing to defund our social safety net, we know that poverty is a policy choice. Our communities often wonder why elected officials are not addressing this crisis with the urgency it deserves. When we look at our politicians’ indifference to the suffering here in America, we can understand their indifference to the atrocities we are witnessing unfold every day in Gaza. If our elected leaders can see what is happening in the communities they claim to represent, where people sleep on the streets and children drink contaminated water; if they can see babies in America going to bed hungry, and not act, it’s no surprise that they can also ignore the starving babies in Gaza. If our elected leaders will stand by and allow American police to brutalize Black and brown people in our communities, it makes sense that they also excuse the Israeli forces that train many of them. Ad So how can we change this? Despite being built to uphold white supremacy and maintain the status quo, our government has always been an institution that responds to external pressure. During the height of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and ’60s, there was clarity among activists about the need to realize Black liberation and force public policy to protect Black lives. The powerful in Washington didn’t just wake up one day and decide to end Jim Crow. The people forced the passage of civil rights legislation by marching, boycotting, and leading civil disobedience, relentlessly fighting for clear policy demands until they were passed by Congress and signed into law by the president. We must have the courage to raise our collective voice again on the frontlines of justice. Just as we march in defense of Black lives and against police brutality in our own country, we now march for Palestinian lives, demanding that our own government stop funding genocide. Unfortunately, the three major evils the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. warned of—racism, poverty, and war—are still raging and are all linked. Since October, Israeli forces have killed more than 37,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including over 15,000 children, and more than 85,000 people have been injured. They have killed at least 548 Palestinians, including more than 135 children, in the West Bank. The consensus of the international community is clear: The Israeli government is committing crimes against humanity that not only constitute the crime of apartheid, or racist oppression and segregation, but also violate the Genocide Convention and international law. South Africa, after defeating US-backed apartheid, has now become a voice for Palestinians at the International Court of Justice to stop this genocide, highlighting the need for communities seeking justice to come together in solidarity.

Sign Up King said that “a nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” Since 1948, the US has approved more than $141 billion in weapons to the Israeli government as it continues to carry out ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Just imagine what $141 billion invested in our communities could do instead. By one estimate, it would take about $177 billion to lift every American out of poverty. Why is it that our country always has enough money to bomb people, but never enough to provide people with health care, housing, and enough food to feed their families? Year after year elected officials tell us that there is no money to invest in our communities, universal healthcare, or reparations, only to turn around and pass yet another record-breaking military budget—this year it topped $886 billion—and send tens of billions more of our tax dollars to Israel to fund this death and destruction. Ad Policy freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: "thenation_incontent_1", slotId: "thenation_incontent_66706b8580d75", targeting:{ tn_ptype: 'landing', tn_pos: 'leaderboard_2', tn_loc:'atf' } }); It is past time to end the billions of dollars of funding we send to the Israeli government and to demand human dignity for all people. We must join together as a multiracial, multifaith, multigenerational coalition for change. King reminds us, “True peace is not merely the absence of tension, it is the presence of justice.” The path forward to a just and lasting peace for Palestinians and Israelis must include ending the genocide in Gaza, lifting the blockade, facilitating the release of hostages and arbitrarily detained Palestinians, ending the occupation, and dismantling the racist apartheid system. It is only then that Palestinians and Israelis can peacefully coexist in their homeland with equal rights, safety, and freedom. The movement that forces our government to stop funding endless war is the same movement demanding universal healthcare, housing for all, reparations, and clean air and water. The same students, teachers, labor leaders, and community activists who are organizing for a permanent cease-fire are also organizing for the liberation of all people, including Black liberation. This moment calls for uncompromising moral clarity. History will remember those who took a stand to demand that our government invests in life, not death. This is that movement, and we are those people.
  11. Al Jazeera Follow 25.8K Followers Across the Western world, public opinion on Palestine is finally shifting Opinion by Othman Moqbel • 12h • 4 min read For a very long time, many in the Western world have not engaged at all with the issues stemming from the occupation of Palestine. The occupation was in the news, every year or so, for a day or two, and then it would go again. It was too “complicated”, those who knew about the context – on either side – were too passionate. So many opted to remain neutral. Many more believed the smears against the Palestinian people. However, the scale and severity of brutality that has defined the past six months of conflict has put an end to the widespread apathy towards the suffering of the Palestinian people. The wall-to-wall media coverage, thanks to fearless reporting from organisations like Al Jazeera and Palestinian journalists on the ground, has opened people’s eyes to the reality of people in Gaza, and the rest of Palestine, have had to endure for generations. At Action For Humanity, one of the leading NGOs working in Gaza and influencing policymakers in the United Kingdom, we have commissioned polling by YouGov and found that 56 percent of the UK are now in favour of halting arms exports to Israel. Only 17 percent are against and the rest are unsure. This is huge. We have been polling the public on conflicts like Syria and Yemen for years and never have the UK public not just been so aware of a conflict, but also feel so passionately about it.

And it’s worth noting this survey was conducted before the April 1 killing of World Central Kitchen aid workers – an atrocity which has horrified the world, even the UK and US governments. We now anticipate, due to the widespread condemnation of this event, that the number of people who realise what horrors are being committed and want no part of it, is higher. Other polling by YouGov has shown that, the longer this war on Gaza goes on, the more people are likely to support a ceasefire (from 59 percent in November to 66 percent in February), are more likely to think the attack on Gaza is not justified (from 44 percent in November to 45 percent in February) and are more likely to want peace talks (61 percent in November to 66 percent in February). And this is a pattern we are seeing all across the Western world. In the United States, the biggest backer of Israel on the global stage, it is not just the administration in the White House that is struggling to attempt to justify the accelerating civilian death toll, the public too are showing disapproval. A CBS/YouGov poll found that in October 47 percent – almost half- of the US supported sending weapons to Israel, this month the number has plummeted to just 32 percent – less than a third, and that support for a ceasefire is growing. We believe that this is the case across the West and now that the overwhelming majority of the Western public are becoming more and more aware of the crimes against humanity that are being committed in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem, the more people are completely appalled. And even those who once felt the huge civilian death toll in Gaza were justified and realising in increasing numbers that nothing on this earth can justify what is happening. However, sadly, the politicians of Western governments are completely out of step with their public’s mood. Not only is this morally reprehensible, but it is politically shortsighted. The year 2024 has been called “the year of elections”, with at least 49 percent of the world voting at some point this year, politicians who do not realise their publics want them to stop facilitating and supporting human rights abuses in Gaza, face electoral defeat – even if they refuse to face their conscience. Here in the UK, the Labour Party, which many believe will form the next government, have also been behind the public’s growing demand to stop arming Israel – even though our polling found that a huge 71 percent of those who intended to vote Labour at the next election believe the UK government should stop funding Israel. For decades, Western states were able to support abuses against Palestinians with impunity due to public ignorance on the issue – due to people not paying attention to what’s happening, and buying into lies. This is now over, and the horrific way Israel conducted its war on Gaza is the reason why. Humanity, in all its forms, everywhere, is fundamentally good. Most humans, at their core, believe in peace and justice. They know that murdering innocents is wrong. Now the world is paying attention to Gaza, everyone can see what an unnatural, horrendous reality Palestinians are forced to endure, and they want no more of it.

  14. Palestine Chile to open embassy in Palestine, says President By Al Mayadeen English Source: Agencies 23 Dec 2022 18:39 1 Shares The pro-Palestine stance in Chile takes to new heights, with President Boric announcing that he would open up an embassy in occupied Palestine. Chilean President Gabriel Boric gives a speech during a cultural event in Santiago, Chile, March 13, 2022 (Reuters) Chile is planning to open an embassy in occupied Palestine as Santiago seeks to demand that international law be respected, as per President Gabriel Boric. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry welcomed Boric's decision to open the embassy after Chilean Foreign Minister Antonia Urrejola confirmed the plan on Thursday. Urrejola, however, said there was no timeline for the process, noting that his country would still recognize both occupied Palestine and the Israeli occupation. The decision itself came on Wednesday evening, with Boric announcing it before Chilean Palestinians who are part of the large Palestinian community in Santiago. "We are going to raise our official representation in Palestine from having a charge d’affaires. Now we are going to open an embassy," Boric said after noting that he was "taking a risk [saying] this". Al-Quds responded to this, with the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates "strongly commend[ing] the move." "Affirms the principled position of Chile and its president in support of international law and the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state," Al-Quds said. The Latin American country has a history of supporting Palestine, already having a representative office in Palestine, which was established in 1998 in Ramallah, the occupied West Bank. In 2011 as well, Chile recognized Palestine as a state and supported its admission into UNESCO. Boric's move was done with the aim of giving Palestinians the representation they deserve, according to the President, though he did not specify where the embassy would be opened exactly. The uncertainty about where the embassy would be located is due to former US President Donald Trump, who caused a diplomatic crisis for Palestine after he recognized the Palestinian capital, occupied Al-Quds, as the capital of "Israel", prompting the location of embassies to be a contentious subject for various states. This comes months after Boric refused to accept the credentials of newly-inaugurated Israeli ambassador Gil Artzyeli, citing the Israeli occupation forces' murder of a young Palestinian teen in the occupied West Bank. Artzyelli was already at the Chilean presidential palace for his planned meeting with Boric when Chilean Foreign Minister Antonia Urrejola informed him that his credentials would not be accepted that day and that the ceremony would be postponed until next month. A day before the Israeli-perpetrated Sabra and Shatila massacre turned 40, the Israeli ambassador played the victim card, saying that though the incident was "quite uncomfortable. Being an Israeli and as a Jew, my people have undergone worse things in the last 4,000 years." Read next: An Everlasting Trauma: Sabra and Shatila by the Hours Boric's BDS and resistance Chilean President Gabriel Boric has long been an outspoken advocate of the Palestinian cause against the Israeli occupation. Boric once called "Israel" a "murderous state" during his presidential campaign, voicing support for bills calling for boycotting goods, services, and products from Israeli settlements. He responded in 2019 to the Chilean Jewish community sending him a jar of honey for Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) by saying he "appreciate[d] the gesture" but "they could have asked Israel to return illegally occupied Palestinian territory." His anti-Israeli stance has made him unpopular among Zionist groups in Chile but garnered him a lot of support from leftists and pro-Palestine advocates, especially Chile's 350,000-strong Palestinian diaspora.

  15. isnt tomorrow al quds day in Iran? Viva Palestine!!!!!
  16. From the looks of it, it seems like this was an organic, grassroot-level outburst which the anti-Gulf monarchy faction of the Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad seem to have decided to join at the spur of the moment. More interesting is the Saudi monarchy's reaction, and here Bandar bin Sultan is explicitly denouncing the Palestinian cause and not so secretly declaring that the Saudis (and the other oil monarchies) may try to impose the Abraham Accord on the Palestinians through strong-arming the P.A. Looks like the selling out is finally official. I am not amazed at all; this is after all a logical conclusion of what has been happening all these decades. What took me by surprise, however, is the candor.
  17. I just want to ask a quick question, now there are many protests happening in the United States for Palestine. I usually avoid going to protests even the one for Iraq last year I just stayed home. Do you guys think its best to not go and stay home? what are your thoughts on this?
  18. Will prevail when Imam Mahdi ((عليه السلام)) and Prophet Jesus ((عليه السلام)) returns. For the most part, the Palestinians have been brain washed by the salafi’s to the extent that a large percentage of Isis fighters when they were caught were from Palestine and then Chechnya then Tunisia and then Saudi Arabia. I think you and the other guy that I’ve heard of are the only Palestinian Shia’s that exists. The rest are either “Sunni” or “Christian” in short yous are rare gem.
  19. As salamu alaykum I hope everyone is in the best of health Insha’Allah during these crazy times. I’m a 18 year old Palestinian and Egyptian born Muslim and a new “revert” from ahlul Sunnah to the Ahlul Bayt school of thought. I was wondering if anyone had any good book recommendations about Islamic history and good source books. Growing up Islamic history wasn’t emphasised so I’m kinda a newbie to in depth context and sources sourrounding the context of when surahs/ ayas were revealed, I.e Surah al Tawbah, or hadiths/ history surrounding the martyrdom of Hussain as. I don’t know if this is related but also if anyone has any recommendations for mosques in London and also mosques that possibly offer lessons that would be great too. Jazak’Allah everyone.
  20. Watching Trump/Netanyahu's live 'Middle East peace plan; what's been dubbed 'The Deal of the century' which is more like the Steal of the century. It looks like they're out on a picnic. The 'deal' itself is pretty delusional to say the least. The ridiculous list detailing it will soon hit news outlets along with the Palestinians' response.
  21. I think this should be a must read for everybody on this ShatChat
  22. The UN's Internarional Criminal Court ICC Prosecuter believes that 'war crimes have been been or are being committed' in Palestine and intends to investigate. Israel has claimed that the ICC has no jurisdiction in such matters because Palestine is not a sovereign state. SubhanAllah at the level of arrogance. https://news.un.org/en/story/2019/12/1054121 I'm not one to support Aljazeera, but I found the following coverage on this issue interesting.
  23. How accurate is the following statement by the Government of Canada 'Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness' regarding Hizbullah??? Please help, thanks. https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/ntnl-scrt/cntr-trrrsm/lstd-ntts/crrnt-lstd-ntts-en.aspx#30 Hizballah Also known as Hizbullah, Hizbollah, Hezbollah, Hezballah, Hizbullah, The Party of God, Islamic Jihad (Islamic Holy War), Islamic Jihad Organization, Islamic Resistance, Islamic Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine, Ansar al-Allah (Followers of God/Partisans of God/God's Helpers), Ansarollah (Followers of God/Partisans of God/God's Helpers), Ansar Allah (Followers of God/Partisans of God/God's Helpers), Al-Muqawamah al-Islamiyyah (Islamic Resistance), Organization of the Oppressed, Organization of the Oppressed on Earth, Revolutionary Justice Organization, Organization of Right Against Wrong and Followers of the Prophet Muhammed. Description One of the most technically capable terrorist groups in the world, Hizballah is a radical Shia group ideologically inspired by the Iranian revolution. Its goals are the liberation of Jerusalem, the destruction of Israel, and, ultimately, the establishment of a revolutionary Shia Islamic state in Lebanon, modelled after Iran. Formed in 1982 in response to Israel's invasion of Lebanon, Hizballah carried out some of the most infamous terror attacks of the Lebanese civil war, such as the suicide bombings of the barracks of United States Marines and French paratroopers in Beirut, as well as the hijacking of TWA Flight 847. While all other Lebanese militias disarmed at the end of Lebanon's civil war in 1990, Hizballah continued to fight, waging a guerilla war against Israeli troops stationed in southern Lebanon. Following Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000, Hizballah attacks against Israeli forces continued, concentrated on the disputed Shebaa Farms area. In 2006, Hizballah provoked Israel's invasion of Lebanon by kidnapping two Israeli soldiers and killing 8 others. On January 3, 2018, Hizballah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah announced that the group was working "to obtain all kinds of weapons that would enable it to achieve victory in the next war." Date listed 2002-12-10 Date reviewed 2018-11-21 EDIT: Also, any thoughts or feelings on Canada's statement?
  24. Time to Break the Silence on Palestine An op-ed article in the New York Times against Israel and it's policies against the Palestinians. the article is okay; the surprising part is that it is an OP-ED in NY Times.
