The Dahiyeh Doctrine is the IDF's strategy of bombing residential areas, not for tactical reasons, but to put political pressure on people they don't like. It was named for the Dahiyeh area in south Beirut, which is one of the residential areas the IDF bombed in 2006 and is also currently bombing.

Won't anyone think of the poor sadistic child-shooting mass-murderers and rapists of the apartheid occupation force.

The title of this article is "I Saw the Bodies of Children: Moral Injury and Mental Strain Breaking IDF Soldiers."

Haaretz is considered a 'left-wing' newspaper in Israel.

The Iranian negotiating team has not arrived in the Pakistani capital Islamabad and has no plans to attend peace talks with the US until Israel stops bombing Lebanon, Iran’s Fars News Agency reported, citing a knowledgeable source.

Liberals lining up to condemn "Netanyahu" bombing Lebanon, like he is the only problem and not the whole apartheid state. Now they're invoking him in the same breaths as Putin and Trump, as if removing three men from power will somehow solve everything.

Today marks 78 years since the massacre of Deir Yassin, an atrocity that came to define the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 to establish the state of Israel on stolen Palestinian land.

israel is run by expansionist fascists who (correctly) see a lasting peace as the death of their cause, & they'll do anything to avoid it. it is so invested in domestic US politics because it can't afford a president who is willing to cut off aid or weapons. israel needs a forever war

This is so unbelievably unhinged and dangerous.

Israeli media is claiming, in essence, that entire Muslim communities in the United States, like Dearborn, are nothing but "nodes" set up by Iranian spies.

This is Islamophobia. It will lead to pogroms. Fuck this.

There's been another wave of Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon over the last two hours, most of them north of the Litani river, far from the fighting between the IDF and Hezbollah in the south.

If you wonder why students protested loudly under Biden but aren’t as visible under Trump, it’s because they thought they had some margin of safety to speak on campus then. Even before Trump 2.0, they learned administrators and political leaders were willing to harm them instead. So here we are.

And compounding this is the fact that campus administrators are historically central targets of student organizing—in the Gaza protests, demands were often campus-specific.

When the administration clamps down on you, then bends the knee to the fascists, the dynamics of protest change dramatically.

We allow investment in US and Israeli arms manufacturers. Stop that.

We let universities crack down on peaceful student protestors. Cut their funding.

We give tax breaks to tech companies that power IDF targeting systems. Maybe fucking don't idk.

If you still support Israel at the point where they're destabilizing the entire planet so they can do multiple genocides you're completely lost

Some days it's hard to keep up the revolutionary optimism, but there are still victories. This week, Washington became the first US state to divest from all companies on the BDS shortlist.

An entire family, of Syrian refugees, displaced by the civil war, all killed in Israel’s assault on Beirut. Mercy of their souls.

Difficult to describe how unusual it is for @icrc.org to speak publicly like this.

"Heavy explosive weapons with wide-area effects struck densely populated urban areas, including the capital Beirut, without effective advance warnings."

To be clear, Israel has no reliable way to verify who their airstrikes in Beirut are killing, because the IDF is still stuck 100km away in south Lebanon *where they are fighting Hezbollah*

Today has been one of the most violent Israeli assaults on Lebanon in decades

and Trump called it a ‘separate skirmish’

I will never forgive the US for voting for this lunatic a 2nd time
