Today, you'll be flooded with Israeli propaganda about "we're a true democracy, not an apartheid"
All of their talking points are copied from Apartheid South Africa's propaganda (watch👇)
Apartheid South Africa's Tricameral Parliament was 42% colored & Indian in 1983, after the regime allowed 2.8 million colored & 850,000 Indian citizens to vote (while excluding 22.7 million black South Africans). Colored representatives even held ministerial positions, but without portfolios (i.e. no real power).
This is just like Israel allowing 2 million Palestinian citizens to vote while excluding 6 million in the occupied territory & 8 million in exile. The less than 15% of Israel's Knesset that is Arab are excluded from power (both Netanyahu & the opposition parties refuse to form a government with Arab parties).
Apartheid South Africa had black policemen, soldiers, engineers, doctors, & professors whom they loved to show in propaganda videos to claim "we're a cosmopolitan society". But that was only a fig leaf to hide the disenfranchisement of the overwhelming majority of blacks.
Apartheid South Africa also claimed a God-given right to the land. They also screamed "we're facing an existential threat" & are "surrounded by enemies who want to destroy us".
They also bragged "we're the only democracy in Africa", "we have Western values", "we're the only industrialized state in Africa", "we're one of the 20 most developed states on earth"... It was still an Apartheid!
Don't fall for Israel's recycled apartheid propaganda!

Don't fall for the theater they are putting on with the elections in Israel. They will try to pin all the blame on Netanyahu, but the truth is that the entire nation is involved in this genocide.

This story is not getting enough attention, even though it is a dark portent of the political repression on the horizon all around the NATO bloc.
Five activists who damaged an Elbit Systems site in Ulm, Germany, are facing harsher treatment than the Reichsbürger, a far-right group accused of attempting to overthrow the German state by force. The two trials are being held in the same building.
The Ulm5 are held in a maximum-security prison, marched into the courtroom in handcuffs, and seated behind bulletproof glass two meters tall. On day one, the judge switched off the microphones of the defence’s legal team, and has since repeatedly refused to hear their evidence and expert witnesses, while rejecting a motion for an independent stenographer to keep a record of the proceedings. The only written record of the trial is the judge's.
Meanwhile, the Ulm5 all remain in prolonged detention — with stints in solitary confinement. The prosecution is seeking to argue that the attack was antisemitic in nature, as Elbit Systems is a “Jewish-owned company” and therefore the “baby killers” graffiti drawn by the activists amounts to blood libel.
The case sets a chilling precedent for any actions taken against German militarism, and no doubt forms part of a wider arc of repression that now extends from Britain to Italy. That is why the activists’ call for international solidarity and support is so urgent.
In a show-trial riddled with procedural irregularities, Germany is seeking to make an example of five activists who organized against the genocide in Gaza. buff.ly/i46zuHe

As the tide turns globally, I see the effort to pin the blame solely on Netanyahu. The strategy is to resurrect Israel's image in the process of toppling him. But genocide is not a one-man show; the whole system is culpable. Zionism must be abolished. There is no going back.

🇷🇸 “We owe our viewers an apology.”
A day after Serbia’s student-led movement defeated Aleksandar Vučić’s ruling party in a historic election, regional public broadcaster Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened Monday’s evening news with an extraordinary admission.
“For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly and failed to ask necessary questions. We owe our viewers an apology,” anchor Goran Eror said, reading a statement from RTV employees.
The broadcaster acknowledged years of one-sided, uncritical reporting. The editor-in-chief of its main television channel resigned the same day.

"University researchers built a satellite that tracks people from low Earth orbit and dispatches a 5 kg payload to within .1 meter of their position, traveling at Mach 25 to anywhere on Earth in under 5 minutes. They suggest it could be used to deliver greeting cards."
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

Colonization took away so much more than land and resources. It took away identity, tradition, rituals, language, names, history.

Do you remember the movie Lord of the Flies?
I remember only the premise, and the final scene.
That final scene reminds me so much of Israel's future.
Those boys were so sure of their power and impunity. Their world was what they believed and that belief was absolute...until the adults finally showed up, and the realization hit them that what they believed wasn't real. They'd created an alternate reality, a kind of bubble that suspended them between worlds. But the real world came at them fast and hard.
That's what is going to happen to Israelis who believe their own lies, who are drunk of their perceived invincibility, supremacy, and chosen-ness.
