Sobriety: a virtue for anarchists, but a vice for an FBI director.

Even alcoholism and incompetence are virtues in the right hands.

Palestinians are human beings, not a talking point. In just the last three years, the Israeli military has displaced millions of Palestinians over and over and murdered tens of thousands of Palestinian babies and small children. Statistically speaking, Israel is now far worse than South Africa was.

If you want more background on the situation, we have to go back to at least 1947:

"私達は、自らの草の根プロジェクトが、権力を握るいかなる政府とも違うと誰もが容易に分かるようにし、たとえ無能な扇動家が人々を街頭へと駆り立てようとも、自らの活動を拡大し、深化させ続けなければならない。私達が幾度となく――時には勇気によって、時には臆病さによって――学んできたように、最前線にいる方が安全* なのだ。"

We are blocking you for alleging—with zero evidence—that we are paid to raise these concerns. We are not paid by anyone. Making such a serious accusation groundlessly shows that you are not here to discuss in good faith.

Your account seems to exist solely to smear anti-Zionists. Are you paid?

Here, if you'd like more background on the Israeli government's behavior prior to 1978, here is a short thread for you:

"A Nuclear Superpower and a Dispossessed People" Facing prison time for solidarity actions, an anarchist from Jaffa speaks on the violence in Palestine, the Israeli judicial system, and how to support Palestinian prisoners.

We encourage everyone to heed the voices of Israeli anarchists who write about the ongoing violence against Palestinians:

And above all to listen to Palestinians about what they are going through:

Ya Ghazze Habibti—Gaza, My Love An anarchist from occupied Palestine makes the case for an anti-colonial understanding of the situation and explores what it means to act in solidarity with Palestinians.

And all of this occurred before May 14, 1948.

About 750,000 Palestinians—over 80% of the population living in what became the State of Israel—were expelled or fled. 13,000–16,000 people were killed.

The tragedies that have unfolded since then did not come out of nowhere.

Israelis began engaging in biological warfare in April and poisoned the water supplies of some towns and villages. In May, one such operation caused a typhoid epidemic in Acre.

Credible sources for all of these facts are available at the link in each post.

Massacres and expulsions continued, including at Deir Yassin (April 9, 1948).

Major Palestinian cities were depopulated, including Tiberias (April 18), Haifa (April 23), West Jerusalem's Palestinian Arab neighborhood (24 April), Acre (starting May 6), Safed (May 10), Jaffa (May 13), and more.

In early April 1948, the Israelis launched Plan Dalet, a large-scale offensive to capture land and empty it of Palestinian Arabs.[84] During the offensive, Israel captured and cleared land that the UN partition resolution had allocated to the Palestinians.

The partition plan's detractors considered it pro-Zionist, with 56% of the land allocated to the Jewish state, although the Palestinian Arab population was twice the Jewish population.

On November 29, 1947, the General Assembly passed Resolution 181 (II), the UN Partition Plan for Palestine. At the time, Arabs made up about two-thirds of the population and owned about 90% of the land; Jewish people made up less than a third of the population, owning about 7% of the land.

The Trump administration continues to hemorrhage personnel.

Before, they were at least forcibly united the way that mobsters are. Now they're just murderers who were led astray by a doddering old man who didn't have their backs, rightly hated by a whole society.

A screenshot reading "Netanyahu said Israeli troops would remain in southern Lebanon."

Israel has been bombing and occupying Lebanon for decades. They invaded in 1978 and 1982, occupied south Lebanon until 2000, then bombed Lebanon in 2006, 2023, and especially 2024. Then they signed a “ceasefire” with Hezbollah, which they violated at least 10,000 times.

If ICE agents were prosecuted for every extrajudicial threat, assault, and murder, the courts would be flooded for years.

But let's not let this single arrest warrant rehabilitate a "justice" system that chiefly serves to terrorize, abduct, and imprison people.

The solution is to abolish ICE.

A picture of the Monopoly Man running with a bag of money, with a red line through it to signify disapproval. You might even call it strong disapproval.

Does your boss work less than you but take home a bigger paycheck? Is someone flying around in a private jet at your expense? If they profit while you struggle to make ends meet, they’re not paying you the full value of your labor.

So if you need something in the workplace—take it. You earned it!
