Defending genocide is doing genocide. Spreading Israel’s genocidal propaganda without challenging it is doing genocide.

To make it plain, there simply is no genocide without the propaganda required to justify it, to create public buy-in.

Everyone who defended genocide propaganda is accountable.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

He blocked me on my former account because I said there was no verifiable evidence of “Hamas mass rapes.” To be fair, a lot of people did.

I think Netanyahu is terrible and the attacks on Gaza have gone way too far. I also think people like you have cheapened the word "genocide" and toss it around so recklessly that there is no upside in engaging in discussion.

See what he’s doing here? Beware, you’re going to see a lot of this shit in the coming days: the conflation of the colonizers and the colonized, of the perpetrators and victims of genocide. Insidious—a beer summit of genocide denial. A flattening of the “daily experiences” of killers & killed.

Abusing the right to protest by using the right to protest by protesting.

there's no such thing as "abusing a right" either you have rights or you don't

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.

Image text:

Broadview Shrinks Protest Safety Zones

The following statement can be attributed to Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson:

“The protests at the ICE facility on Saturday night degenerated into chaos. There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad. Broadview didn’t choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it’s here. And so are Broadview residents. There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest. Too many are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home. Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.

Therefore, I have issued a new executive order, in consultation with the Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff, that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street.

There will no longer be a designated protest safety zone at 2000 South 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore.

Additionally, it has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street. This new
measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.

As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protesters’ free and – peaceful – speech against the outrageous injustices and deplorable unprovoked chemical arms attacks by ICE agents against American citizens, journalists, and ministers that put Broadview police and firefighters in harms’ way.

Nevertheless, my first priority is to defend public safety and the residents who live here and people who work here. They deserve stability, safety, and respect, a quality of life that is currently being denied to them. They deserve the love and kindness that they expect by being Broadview residents.”

How genocide happened, and will continue...

THE NATIONAL
THE NEWSPAPER THAT SUPPORTS AN INDEPENDENT SCOTLAND
HOW GENOCIDE HAPPENED
"No Arab will remain in Gaza"
"No-one must inhabit this land if it is not the Jewish people"
"Israel should make Gaza look like Auschwitz museum"
"I am for war crimes, I don't care if I'm criticised"
"Aid trucks continue to enter Gaza... enough!"
"We are too humanitarian. We have to burn Gaza now"
"It's not Hamas that should be eliminated. Raze Gaza"
"Without hunger and thirst among the Gazan population, we will not succeed in recruiting collaborators"
"It is an entire nation out there that is responsible. It's not true, this rhetoric about civilians not being involved"
FOUR-PAGE SPECIAL REPORT
As Israel continues to deny genocide in Gaza after the ceasefire, we publish the damning words - from the country's own prime minister, press and more - that show how atrocity came to pass

When Biden violated US law to give Israel a thirty day deadline to comply with a series of steps in October 2024 I was assured by many people on here that he was finally going to impose consequences. Anyway Israel didn't comply with a single step and Blinken claimed they were in compliance anyway.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.
