The DNC Will Be Violent: 1968 Protests and NowI’m not really sure what the point of the DNC is this year since the only choice we have is Pro-Weapons to Israel, pro-cop city, pro-militarized border, pro-prison Kamala Harris. But the DNC is going to be held as a formality to confirm Kamala as the candidate. Because, hell yeah, Democracy for the win.While we on colonial outcasts would never tell you who to vote for, if you say you can’t protest Harris/Wolz and demand action against the war machine and the police state for fear of Trump, you’ve last the plot. You will most likely be losing your freedom of speech, assembly, and your right to bodily autonomy eventually either way.Aug 14, 202401:03:34Kursk Offensive: Ukraine's High-Stakes Gamble for Diplomatic LeverageSeven days ago the Ukrainian Army (AFU) initiated a surprise counter-offensive into the Russian region of Kursk along the northern border of Ukraine and initially captured over 350 square kilometers of territory, in what is the largest regional gain since the Kharkiv offensive nearly two years ago.It's going to be a blunder. The AFU is incredibly unlikely to achieve any of their strategic goals...Aug 13, 202401:02:13The Black Panthers and Revolution - With professor of history - Dr. Butch Warehttps://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcastsAs the genocide in Gaza rages on, the specter of a large scale regional kinetic conflict with millions of lives at stake looms over our heads and Israel beats the drums of war with Washington dancing to it, a question is starting to surface in many our conversations: are we entering WWIII?This is the prologue for our multipart series on revolution with history professor, Dr. Butch Ware.Follow Professor Butch Ware on instagram:https://www.instagram.com/butchware/We’ve had plenty of episodes on the military dynamics and postering in this region, the dangerous nature of Israel’s provocations poised to drag the United States into an all out war with Iran, Hezbollah, and Yemen that could lead us into a world war with China and Russia, but in this episode we propose an alternative possibility: WWIII gets canceled due to a scheduling conflict with a world wide revolution.We discuss the tangibility of revolution, why they fail, why they succeed, how it can be done right, why the Black Panthers are so important to the topic, how Islam plays an important part of global revolution, and most importantly: why we should be prioritizing Indigenous histories and social organization as a political direction as opposed to forms of governments birthed from white supremacy. We aim for this series to serve as a toolkit for potential leaders to use in forming their own ideas on getting this revolution popped off like a smoke grenade. #icj #antiimperialism #decolonize #ceasefire #uspolitics #israelhamaswar #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #breakingnews #internationalnews #warzoneclips #veteran #politicalnews #palestina #politics #political #internationalrelations #internationallaw #colonialoutcasts #counterterrorism #globalsecurity #iran #globalsecurity #ww3 #worldwar3 #middleeast #trump #internationalnews #warzoneclips #veteran #politicalnews #palestina #politics #political #internationalrelations #internationallaw #colonialoutcasts #counterterrorism #globalsecurityAug 07, 202401:29:35Inevitable Escalation: Nuclear Stealth Bomber Lands in Qatar - Operational Breakdown Aug. 6thCheck us out on Patreon for Exclusive Content: https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcastsIt is currently Monday night/Tuesday morning August 5th/6th and this is a speed post episode because this news cycle has been insane over the past few days. White nationalist riots in London, a contentious election in Venezuela, an apparent overthrow, at least temporarily, of the Bangladeshi Government, and the Iran/Israel tensions are escalating to a boiling point where a wider conflict that could engulf the region is more likely now than ever and this episode can become irrelevant at any moment. Aug 05, 202458:27Kill Lists and Escalation: What Actually Happened to Ismail Haniyeh?/colonialoutcastsSo Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran according the IRGC. Apparently Hamas has confirmed this saying that he "died as a result of a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran."A hollow victory, at best. The entire axis of resistance is bigger than any one leader, and the importance of this will be overstated by Israel and the western media. So yeah, a targeted political assassination in sovereign Iranian territory while they were actively engaged in ceasefire negotiations with Hamas’s political wing, lead by Haniyeh. Israel is a short-circuiting killing machine that only exports violence and the tools of repression. Jul 31, 202401:02:19Strike/CounterStrike - Will Israel and Houthis Escalate to Greater War?https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcastsWe’re going to get all military analysis with this Houthi/Israel drama that’s been heating up since Friday when a Houthi Suicide drone struck Tel-Aviv killing an ex-IDF sniper. It's not going to Escalate. Today we are joined by Jason of Generational News, his links in description, and he is coming out tom talk to us about Air Defense, since he was a field-grade Air Defense Artillery officer in the United States Army back in the day.

Well, THE ICJ RULING CONFIRMS WHAT PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR 57 YEARS: Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal, a form of apartheid, and must end, says the U.N.’s high court at The Hague.While this is hopeful, bear in mind that the ruling does little to immediately change the lived reality for Palestinians.Jul 20, 202401:06:38Trump and Assassination Conspiracies: Was That Jason Bourne?Check us out on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcastsNeutralizing a shooter that gets off eight shots, kills a spectator, injures two more and hits a Former President in the head isn’t a win. There were egregious failures in coverage and protocol within law enforcement and the Secret Service at the Trump Rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.It should have been impossible for the 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks to gain access to a rooftop 400 feet from the podium and set up a sniper position in the most obvious vantage point imaginable.Jul 16, 202401:00:5975 Years of War: NATO SUMMIT a Shambles of Hypocrisyhttps://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcastsNATO: 75 years of endless war!

And by “glory days”, we mean a few months when cyber bullying Zionists was at its apex. No academic, geopolitical or refined analysis, just venting about the state of affairs and thinking out loud in typical East Coast/West Coast dad fashion. Pete hosts the TikTok live channel, Mindwarz, (@mindwarz) which he uses to bring in different perspectives and help those without an extensive knowledge base on Palestine understand the basic human elements surrounding the plight of Palestinians, the deception of world powers and the actions required of humanity as a whole to put an end to horror that is empire. This conversation, if nothing else, is a therapeutic ASMR session expressed in unfiltered dialogue on a range of topics including, but not limited to: the horror of the genocide, the hypocrisy of the west, “conspiracy theories”, Islam, Radical Islam, racism, solidarity with Palestine in the Latino community, anti-Semitism, revolution and every topic that will make a white liberal cringe.#jre #jreclips #politics #news #worldnews #uspolitics #war #veteran #latino #ww3 #wwiii #dads #war #podcast #apocalypse #america #4thofjuly #independencedayJul 01, 202403:04:15Flashpoint Lebanon: Word on the Street from 2006 and Nowhttps://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcastsSo, ThePentagonhas warned Israel against any "miscalculation" along its northern border with Lebanon, as fighting between the Israel Defense Forces and Hezbollah militia continues and Israeli leaders threaten to launch a full-scale cross-frontier incursion.But what what is the word on the street in Southern Lebanon? What is not being communicated by the Legacy Media? To answer those questions we have brought on two Lebanese dudes to talk about it.

Jun 23, 202452:16Cold World War III? Global Power Shift as Israel/Ukraine/Taiwan EscalatesWe're on Patreon now if you want extra content: https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcastsSo, the situation in Southern Lebanon and Northern Israel is escalating and Cyprus is getting dragged in. I personally don’t think a wider war will kick off this weekend, but Israel is no longer a rational actor. We’ve already talked about what that will look like if it happens in a previous episode so today we’re going to try something different. Let's start geopolitically micro and go macro. We’ll begin with this Israel/Hezbollah situation and bring Cyprus into it. We’ll use that as a demonstration of the US's political quagmire, expand and draw parallels to Ukraine which will most likely end in a frozen conflict and a Russian "ugly victory," then talk about the overall loss of US soft power to BRICS and discuss, if we have time, Saudi getting off the Petro Dollar. Jun 21, 202401:12:32The IDF "Tactical Pause" in Gaza Another Lie in a Litany of Lies w/ Zeena AqelCheck us out on Patreon for Exclusive Content: https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcastsThis "Tactical Pause" is a Farce. We've looked at it since Saturday. I don’t want to get into too much politics in this Episode, because we feel that it’s time to revisit what is happening to civilians on the ground in Gaza. So we’ve invited Zeena Aqel back on to do just that. You may know her, she’s a prominent Palestinian activist and Journalist, you can check her out on Social media linked below, and has many contacts on the ground. Thanks so much for coming on. Follow Zeena on instagram! https://www.instagram.com/zeenaaqel/Jun 19, 202456:04Israel Greenlights Assault on Lebanon/Did they Allow Oct.7th? Operational Breakdown: June 18th/19thHello and welcome to Colonial Outcasts and our spur of the moment breaking news Segment - Operational breakdown, where we look at IOF shenanigans from a military perspective.Why are we doing this ad hoc episode? Well, the battle plan for the invasion of Lebanon invasion was just approved, and a never-before-seen IDF document surfaced last night with startling new details of Hamas' operational plans to invade Israel; The report outlines Hamas orders to take between 200-250 Israelis hostage. Jun 19, 202454:00Complicit in All War Crimes - US Surveillance and Intelligence Above Gaza*We re-uploaded this episode with better audio thanks to Mohammed Kutkut, a Palestinian sound engineer from Gaza.*In this Episode I’m joined by another veteran from the special operations community - a former US Airforce Combat Controller - to talk about US complicity in Israel’s disastrous campaign in Gaza from the perspective that the US Military, Three Letter Agencies, and perforce the Biden Administration know exactly what is happening on the ground. No investigations necessary. And we keep supporting them with money, weapons and intelligence support regardless of this incontrovertible fact. The blowback from the disastrous and ultimately self-destructive “hostage rescue” mission Israel launched this past Saturday, June 9th, is still coming in. There is a question of how much assistance the United States rendered the IDF in this operation - some wild and unsubstantiated rumors of US boots on the ground. There is absolutely no evidence of this, some IDF soldiers have American accents, granted, but that TikTok battlefield rumor is just that. IT’s also pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, because United States complicity in this massacre in particular and larger campaign of ethnic cleansing/Genocide in general, is both assured and inescapable.Jun 14, 202401:17:46Israel's Self-Destructive Hostage Rescue Operation/Massacre - June 10thThis weekend, according to the NYT - Israel Rescues Four hostages in a hostage in military operation - This is a fact, it’s in the active voice and the hostages are numbered. Then “Gaza officials Say Scores are killed.” Which is presented as hearsay, in the passive voice and they victims are not numbered. This is pretty egregious. The role of corporate and partisan media in the United States is not to inform but to manufacture consent for the whims of the ruling and political class. IT’s becoming apparent that we are some of the most heavily propagandized people on Earth. The easiest way to see that is to note how many think we're the good guys.I argue that The Hostage Rescue Operation conducted early Saturday morning will have far-reaching unintended consequences.Jun 10, 202401:06:58Chaos in Israel as US Staying Power Reaches Its Limits - June 7th/8thSo Netanyahu and his cabinet appear to have decided, or at least to be strongly entertaining the idea that they will attack Southern Lebanon. We are talking about an actual invasion with the presumed objective, if they have any defined objectives, of pushing Hezbollah back to the Litani River. What could possibly go wrong? In short, just about everything imaginable. In this episode we take this from a broader geopolitical standpoint which examines the challenge to US staying power in the context of the War in Ukraine, and the escalation over Taiwan.We're now on Patreon!

Well, we’re going to talk about how that is blazingly untrue and we’re going all the way back to 1947 to do it. Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, your semi-friendly neighborhood anti-Imperialist podcast, and hot-darn it! We just pulled some Top Secret documents from the depths of the national archives, declassified but still unseen, from 1947, in which the Joint Chiefs of Staff advised then president Harry Truman that partitioning Palestine and recognizing the state of Israel will screw US global interests over in the long run. And we wanted to highlight these memos, written by guys who your Dad would probably credit with winning World War II, in this episode because aren’t y’all absolutely sick of hearing ancient grey-haired politicians gas on about how Israel is America’s most important strategic ally in the Middle East? We are. Check us out on patreon for extra content! Jun 05, 202453:26Game Over For Netanyahu - Israel Isolated as US Compels CeasefireWelcome to Colonial Outcasts. This a ceasefire-related episode. It is currently Sunday June 2nd. Things are going to move fast so we’re going to keep it short-ish and jump right in. Elina Xenophontos, regular political analyst calling in from Cyprus, is here with us today. We’re going to talk about the Biden ceasefire proposal, Obama’s passive-voiced endorsem*nt of said proposal, Netanyahu’s seeming rejection of said proposal, and now soft-floated watercolor talk that the Israeli government might actually accept it. At 6:30 am Central Daylight Time NBC published that “An aide to Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahusaid Israel had agreed to the framework forPresident Joe Biden’splan to bring an end to the war inGaza, though he said it was “not a good deal.”Bidenannounced Fridaythat Israel had proposed a three-part plan that would ultimately lead to a complete cease-fire in theGaza Strip, as well as therelease of all hostageswho have been held there for the last eight months. It’s “time for this war to end,” Biden said. It wasn’t a plan that Israel proposed, but we’ll get into that. Jun 02, 202401:02:51The Mob-ssad and Israel's Ham-Fisted Attempt to Coerce the ICCWe will be discussing how Israel and the Mossad, excuse me - the Mob-ssad - have been spying on the international criminal court and threatening South African Ministers, but not in a sophisticated spy-agency James Bond villain type way. I’d say it was a mob way, like “I’ll make the South African Foreign Minister an offer she can’t refuse.” But according to these articles by the Guardian, Local Call, and +972 - the publications that broke this story - I’d say that Israeli conduct would actually be an insult to the mob. May 30, 202445:30Israel Strikes Refugee Camp in Rafah and Prepares to Designate UNRWA a Terrorist OrganizationLate Sunday night Israel carried out an airstrike on a refugee camp in southwest Gaza which has lead to the death of at least 45 Palestinians with at least 3x that in wounded, producing graphic images of non-contained tent fires and literally a decapitated toddler. The tent encampment was set alight - it being designed to house internally displaced Palestinian civilians. This is a developing situation. Israel has claimed responsibility for a strike in this area, which is, based on obvious battle damage assessments - twisted rebar, shattered concrete, splintered metal - the cause of this destruction. The IDF is of course looking in to it. This is separate from an event that happened earlier Sunday - Hamas shooting rockets out of Gaza into central Israel. Eight rockets, reportedly shot out of southern Gaza, East Rafah in a separate location from the camp. Still waiting for confirmation on where those rockets were actually shot from, but it’s a separate incident, at least militarily, from this refugee airstrike. More on that in a bit. The Strike took place in the Tel-Al Sultan Refugee camp in West Rafah. So just to be clear, the Tel-Al Sultan neighborhood is not part of the IDF’s new designated safe-zone, which by now we know doesn’t exist and can’t accommodate all the million plus displaced Palestinians, but this neighborhood also wasn’t on the evacuation list. The area where the strike took place was actually a designated stafezone as of two weeks ago. More on that as well. The IDF says they are aware of a fire that was started because of this strike and several civilians were harmed. The incident is under review. They assert that the targets of this strike were two senior Hamas commanders responsible for organizing resistance efforts in west bank. Also we’ll get into that because it makes no sense that West Bank operations would be coordinated through Gaza as opposed to Jordan or Syria. So that’s dumb on a very profound level. Hamas says they hold the US president and administration fully responsible for this massacre, the PA accuses the Israelis of deliberately targeting the tents. Israel will investigate, the US will say they’re waiting for the results of that investigation and that all civilian deaths are bad. Also, The Knesset is set to vote to designate Unwrap as a terrorist organization, and Egyptian and Israeli forces exchanged gunfire at the Rafah border crossing. One person is killed. May 27, 202448:59Project Gaza 2035, The War in Ukraine, and Taiwan: The West vs. The RestIn this new episode of Colonial Outcasts we to map out, and draw connections in a very basic way between two conflicts (Gaza/Ukraine) and a potential armed flashpoint (Taiwan), because, as people have begun to realize since October 7th, it’s all connected, man. Not in a conspiracy sort of way, but in a very run-of-the-mill Imperialist way - the most basic definition of which is the wikipedia one, which for our purposes is more than acceptable. Imperialism is the practice, theory or attitude of maintaining or extending power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism, employing both hard power and soft power. Imperialism focuses on establishing or maintaining hegemony and a more or less formal empire. Think of Hard power as military force and proxy wars, and soft power as diplomatic and economic pressure like treaties, sanctions etc. So, the US/Europe is fighting a proxy war in Ukraine in order to weaken Russia, which has spectacularly backfired. We are funding a disastrous campaign of genocide in Gaza which is Isolating both Israel and by extension the United States from the international community, and now the US is stoking tensions with China over Taiwan, which could turn into a military flashpoint. We are seeing an Empire in decline. It seems like US politicians still believe that America has the same staying power and power projection that we had in the early 90’s. But the working class is being depleted, rising levels of non-living wages and poverty are pervasive. We can’t afford another conflict, but the question is - can the American People people be deceived into fighting another war?#warinukraine #warinukraine2024 #taiwannews #chinataiwan #chinataiwanconflict #israelpalestinenewsupdates #israelhamaswar #militaryindustrialcomplex #icj #antiimperialism #decolonize #ceasefire #uspolitics #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #breakingnews #internationalnews #warzoneclips #veteran #politicalnews #palestina #politics #political #internationalrelations #internationallaw #colonialoutcasts #counterterrorism #globalsecurityMay 26, 202401:13:46ICC Arrest Warrants and the Decline of Rules-Based OrderThe ICC is a Western institution that has often been used to advance Western foreign policy objectives, such as the issuing of an arrest warrant against the President of Russia, premised on unsubstantiated and limited evidence.The impact of such a decision is thus politically emblematic as a Western institution, after 7 months of a genocide and the most gruesome war we have seen this century, has been coerced to issue arrest warrants against a key Western ally.The arrest warrant does three things:1) It is a futile attempt to salvage the declining reputation of the Western "international rules-based order."2) Undermines the current Israeli establishment.3) Exhibits the mounting tensions between Israel and the U.S.The fact that an arrest warrant has now been issued against senior Israeli officials, alongside the ongoing ICJ trial, places all the more pressure on the U.S and its unwavering support for Israel.It further highlights the U.S's desire to get rid of Netanyahu and as such, to revamp Israel's image by placing a new "moderate" political regime in power.Cover art by: https://www.instagram.com/rickyisolation/#icj #antiimperialism #decolonize #ceasefire #uspolitics #israelhamaswar #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #breakingnews #internationalnews #warzoneclips #veteran #politicalnews #palestina #politics #political #internationalrelations #internationallaw #colonialoutcasts #counterterrorism #globalsecurityMay 21, 202401:05:21The New Israeli Civil War: The US Choice Between Israel and the UN So the basic premise of this discussion, as I see it, will be - The UN General Assembly wants to vote to potentially recognize a Palestinian State, which Israel desperately does not want. The US supports Israel unconditionally thus far, but if the UN, which is essentially a US construct which gives America geo-political legitimacy and influence around the globe, votes to recognize Palestine - the United States will finally have to choose between its two children. To back Israel no matter what and damage the legitimacy and marginal effectiveness of the UN, or compel Israel to comply with the creation of a Palestinian State, which could lead to massive civil strife in Israel and lead to its inevitable colonial dissolution.

So it is currently May 14th, Israel’s Independence Day. And there’s a whole mess of contention about its long-term, existential survival. Will domestic fury and fierce civil strife cumber all the parts of Israel Proper?Israel does have a polarizing civil unrest problem on its hands, and statistics like “60 percent of Israelis believe the IDF isn’t using enough force in Gaza” give us outsiders that mistaken impression that Israeli society is a monolithic violent colonial entity, instead of a multipolar violent colonial entity that is incidentally experiencing a period of unprecedented socio-cultural fragmentation. So... eventual civil war? This is Part 1.

We conducted a brief interview with a PR spokesperson for the Pomona Divest Apartheid, a resilient on-campus pro-Palestinian movement that has only grown more determined and larger in student numbers and support despite the administration's heavy handed initial approach against its own students (and traditions) using local law enforcement as its mercenaries. Their message is simple: their college has no business investing in any entity that supports a genocide.Show them love and support via the links below:https://www.instagram.com/pomonadivestapartheidhttps://twitter.com/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login=%2FPomonaDfAhttps://linktr.ee/pomonadivestapartheidhttps://t.me/s/PDfASolidarityEncampmenthttps://docs.google.com/document/d/15p-PeTkXC0170GF2RHjCWVzYFcfLgyo1wPuAa_PT7g8/edit#Pomona #southerncalifornia #California #columbiauniversity #ucla #uspolitics #universityoftexas #emoryuniversity #stopcopcity #decolonize #antiimperialism #globalaffairs #ceasefire #foreignaffairs #humanrights #israelhamaswar #militaryindustrialcomplex #vietnam #vietnambacklash #antiwarmovement #endwar #ceasefire #ceasefirenow🇵🇸 #militaryindustrialcomplex #blackrock #vanguard #haliburton #boeing #genraldynamics #raytheon #merchantsofdeath #aipac #veteran #veteransforpeace #humanrightswatch #savethechildren #ccr #icj #icc #warcrimes #amnestyinternationalMay 12, 202422:34Mounting Israel/US Tensions Over Rafah Assault, ICC Rumors, and Egypt's Predicament: May 8thOn this episode of our coverage and analysis of Israel's Rafah assault, we examine the geo-political factors influencing the changing US policy towards Israel and the mounting international pressure to halt this misguided military action.

It’s operationally impossible, Israel has no achievable goals, the resistance is still active in the north, but sometimes I forget that every decision Israel makes is in its own worst interest and its only agenda is genocide and ethnic cleansing at all costs. Its absolute insanity, but let’s breakdown the major developments and what they mean going forward.

They demand divestment from Israel. The level of state violence they have endured at the hands of police has not been seen since the Vietnam Backlash. In this Episode we discuss the Imperial Boomerang, or the thesis that governments that develop repressive techniques to control colonial territories will eventually deploy those same techniques domestically against their own citizens.Our struggles are connected, keep pushing. May 01, 202401:21:11Why Does Iran Not Want to Escalate? A Discussion on BRICS and Belt and Road: Episode 18Last night Israel launched its response to Iran, and as anticipated, in the words of National Security Minister Ben Gvir “It was Weak.” Israel and the collective West’s non-0existent response to Iran, as well as Iran’s master class deterrence policy, clearly exhibits the historic proportions of the global re-alignment of power that is occurring.After Decades of of provoking Iran via copious assassinations against key members of it military and scientific communities, Iran’s calculated response on the 14th of April marks the rising power of the BRICS Bloc, and the slow but inevitable demise of Western hegemony. Once Again, the role of China and Russia in this historical shift cannot be understated. 2024 shall be the year that defines our collective futures. Thanks Elina for writing this awesome description.And to better understand the dynamics of that future, join us on Colonial Outcasts to discuss what is BRICS, China’s Belt and Road Initiative, and how these are influencing Iran’s deterrence policy and the West’s floundering with this Mumbai to Europe New Silk Road project that’s supposedly supposed to run through Gaza.

In this episode we focus on Germany as American college campuses erupt in protest because of its symbolic importance. Germany has a lot of "sins of the father" dynamics going on which places it ideologically in support of Israel unconditionally. The central question is if this authoritarian crackdown can ever be checked. We have invited Helen Fares, a Syrian/German journalist (or Syrian living in Germany) on to discuss this shocking intractability of the German Government and people.

In this episode of Operational Breakdown, we look at Iran's telegraphed yet effective and measured response to Israel's bombing of its Consulate in Damascus. We also talk about the logic of Deterrance, which is an important pillar of geo-political analysis. #israelpalestineconflict #ceasefire #decolonize #antiimperialism #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #israelhamaswar #counterterrorism #militaryindustrialcomplex #militaryintelligence #militaryintervention #uspolitics #bidenvstrump #independentjournalism #militaryhistory #veteran #veteransforpeaceApr 16, 202401:05:12Israeli Strike on Damascus Consulate and the Iranian Response: Operational Breakdown, April 10thOn April 1st, Israel took the unprecedented action of leveling an Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria. Embassies and diplomatic buildings have historically enjoyed international protection since they are recognized as sovereign territory. So, how will Iran respond to this attack on its own soil? They are being calculated, and not rushing a hasty response. Here we break it down through the lens of a very irresponsible article in Time Magazine. #israelpalestineconflict #ceasefire #decolonize #antiimperialism #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #israelhamaswar #counterterrorism #militaryindustrialcomplex #militaryintelligence #militaryintervention #uspolitics #bidenvstrump #independentjournalism #militaryhistory #veteran #veteransforpeaceApr 10, 202401:09:18Israel’s Onslaught on Gaza and the Sri-Lankan Genocide, Drawing Parallels - Episode 16Weaponized starvation, bombing safe zones, the destruction of infrastructure including hospitals, libraries, schools… Using white phosphorous on people… sound familiar?
