Don't watch that video of the Al-Jazeera journalist being informed his family was killed. It showed up on my twitter feed while I was looking for something else, and I made the mistake of playing it.

Don't.

I've always wondered, since Mecca is such a... well... mecca is it like super commercialized, or do they still try to keep it a bit reverent.

The Saudis have specifically and deliberately destroyed shrines and holy gravesites in Mecca and built condos over them. The money is secondary, mostly it's Wahhabist anti-idol worship fanaticism

As a distant anglophone westerner, Ukraine has played the English-language P.R. game perfectly, and Israel seems entirely incapable of not coming off as insane, genocidal psychopathic crybullies.

I've been reading Gaza stuff on a local Irish messageboard, and there are posters there who I know to be fairly elderly, pretty conservative and accepting of general media narratives, who have gone from being pro--Israel a week ago, to saying they are behaving like genocidal lunatics today.

i mean the biggest difference there is that Ukraine is fighting a war on its own territory. regardless of whether Ukrainians would like to burn Russian towns to the ground and massacre their inhabitants, they don’t have the ability to do that and aren’t likely to anytime soon. it’s easier for western readers to blow off the occasional bloodthirsty comment as loose talk from a country fighting a desperate defensive war.

Israel is so much more able to inflict damage on Gaza than hamas is able to inflict damage on Israel that the difference is really noticeable and stark even to Westoids. when Israel says stuff like “the Palestinians are animals, not deserving of mercy” it’s accompanied by pictures of annihilated kindergartens and hospitals. it’s not just angry talk, they’re literally doing a genocide currently!

Sisi mobilizing a whole rear end tank division is a little hopeful at least. If you wanted to do something for deterrence or domestic consumption there are cheaper things to do. Though my Egyptian comrades do say that the mood on the streets is apocalyptic and the Egyptian Army is pissed as hell that Sisi brushed off Israel shelling them.

the journalist whose family was murdered by israel has put out a statement on twitter:-

We chose our path, our will and our faith remained, and we hope that God will provide us with determination"

dissent from the imperial line is tolerated as long as it's contained and futile

any outcry against the machinery that looks like it might result in popular mobilization is destroyed without mercy; the more threatened the elite feel, the lower the bar gets for "might result"

your political views that were allowed as quaint progressive eccentricities and affectations yesterday will become prison sentences tomorrow

anybody who didn't realize this about the system we're living in was and quite possibly still is lying to themselves about the nature of that system

Didn't Egypt have two coups and neither of them affected the deal to help Israel keep Gaza blockaded in the slightest?

I assume we're paying off anybody who's somebody over there to keep this going. I know Egypt doesn't have the resources to deal with a flood of refugees, but you'd think they could defy Israel on the blockade if they wanted to.

All this prime real estate but wait theres all these historical and religiously important sites
would be nice if I had a religious authority to support me bulldozing it all.



And they built a Mega shrine to capitalism that overshadows the kaabah.

They have a billion+ people who all wish to one day perform the hajj and theyre going to milk it.
