Gaza WILL Get Worse Under Trump. It'll Also Get Worse Under Harris by Caitlin Johnstone and Tim Foley

CNN says an IDF soldier has suffered trauma because he had to run over too many Palestinians with his D9 armored bulldozer. Says he can’t eat meat anymore because he had to drive over so much human meat (he actually called it “meat”) and it reminds him of all the blood and guts and bones and tissue that would come squirting out when he ran over them. Reading by Tim Foley.

When the Holocaust returned it came denouncing anti-semitism and wearing a Star of David. It was never going to look how we were expecting. It wasn’t going to show up in its old familiar costume with the bent cross and the tiny mustache, blaming all the problems on the Jews. It had to look different. If it didn’t look different, we never would have let it in the door. Reading by Tim Foley.

We Really Are The Bad Guys And This Really Is The Evil Empire "It can be nice to live in the western world, but the western world is not nice. Ours is the most savage and thuggish civilization on this planet, and it’s not even close." Reading by Tim Foley.

Israeli forces found and killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by accident while they were just randomly destroying parts of Gaza, and then they methodically targeted and killed four water engineers on purpose.

If this was a real thing with real teeth and not an incredibly cynical eleventh-hour election ploy, it would have happened a full year ago. Reading by Tim Foley.

Nothing illustrates the malfeasance of the mass media like the vast disparity between how they’re covering the killing of four 19 year-old IDF soldiers by Hezbollah versus their complete lack of interest in a 19 year-old hospital patient who was burned alive by the IDF in Gaza. Reading by Tim Foley.

Israel's permanent national security doctrine is basically "We can have peace tomorrow if we just kill a few more people today." But it's always today. Tomorrow never comes. Reading by Tim Foley.

If there's one thing this past year has made clear, it's that opposing the foreign abuses of the western empire is the most important task you can undertake if you care about truth, justice, and human rights. Reading by Tim Foley.

This was never about freeing hostages. It was never about getting rid of Hamas. It was never about Israel's "right to defend itself". It was never about mass rapes, beheaded babies, or babies cooked in ovens. It was always about stealing land from the indigenous people of Palestine. Reading by Tim Foley.

Things are so, so bad in the middle east right now, and from the looks of things they’re about to get a whole lot worse. Reading by Tim Foley.

I'll condemn Hamas as soon as you can tell me what the Palestinians should do instead besides lay down and die. Produce a coherent plan for Palestinian liberation that (A) doesn't involve violence, (B) would be effective, (C) is just, and (D) isn't naive or moronic. Then talk to me. Reading by Tim Foley.
