The Progressive: Rats, Ruins, and the Theft of Tranquility

From Nour Abo Aisha in The Progressive magazine:

>As I walked along the shore, the same sea that offered me a temporary refuge felt like a silent witness to a collective grief that is only now beginning to surface. The women that I talked to in the camp aren’t just fighting rats. They are fighting the realization of everything we have lost. In these moments of relative quiet, the true weight of the damage becomes clear. It is not just in the rubble of our homes but in the exhausted eyes of mothers who, after surviving the bombs, now find themselves defending their children’s sleep against the ruins of a broken world.

The catastrophic impasse in Gaza is the new status quo

Gaza is paying the price for the failed U.S.-Israeli wars across the Middle East. As the countries have become mired in Lebanon and Iran, Gaza has faded into the background, and Palestinians' hopes of ending the genocide have faded as well.

Walter Masterson confronts Zionist Jews who are illegally selling Palestinian land

The funniest/saddest part about this whole video is that the Zionist are completely silent when Walter mentions that they are illegally selling Palestinian land in what looks to be New York City, USA, but when he mentions that Zionism, a fascist ideologies that promotes ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and anyone who disagrees with them, has nothing to do with Judaism they get outraged.

It just shows how deranged these people are and how their selective outrage can be dangerous.

Because if people who have no knowledge on Palestine sees this, they will ignore what Walter says in the beginning of the video and also get mad about Zionism being called out. Viewers will start to agree with these Zionist ideologies without doing any research. It’s like these Zionist are trained on how to act in public because they know that their reactions will influence the public. We seen this since October 7th.

We seen Palestinian homes constantly get stolen and children getting bombed. Sadly, nobody is doing anything about this. And also, here in America, for those who don’t know, these Zionist are also stealing American homes.

They are sadly not facing any consequences and we Americans are constantly paying for the price when we want nothing to do with the colonization and murder of innocent Palestinians. Because, sadly, like it or not, we are participants.

Watch: Is ICE using Israel’s playbook in the US?

Mondoweiss's editor-in-chief Yumna Patel, who spent years reporting on the Israeli occupation in the West Bank, returned to the U.S. and found the same violent system operating on American streets.

From the killings of Renee Good, Alex Peretti, and Ruben Ray Martinez to the abduction of children like Liam Conejo Ramos, the parallels between ICE and the Israeli military are not abstract. They are material. ICE uses Israeli spyware called Graphite, built by veterans of Israel's Unit 8200, to break into the phones of people in the United States. ICE has an office in Tel Aviv. The "shoot first, justify later" logic that killed 27-year-old Ahmad Erekat at an Israeli checkpoint in 2020 is the same logic being used to justify killings on American streets today.

This video traces the connections, from surveillance technology to the targeting of children, from the language of "domestic terrorism" to the architecture of checkpoints, prisons, and impunity — and makes the case that our oppression and our liberation are more intertwined than most Americans realize.
