I still remember reading a very interesting hypothesis proposing that Mark’s Gospel was an allegorical commentary on Jerusalem’s destruction. I have this image in my head of a Greek Jew sitting in his (or her) house, penning his work, blissfully unaware of the overwhelming influence that it would have on the world for millennia, before he vanished into the mists of time without leaving a trace—other than perhaps a child or two. If only it were technologically possible to observe events in the distant past; we’ll probably never who exactly authored these Gospels or what their intentions were. Sigh… I’m rambling now, though.

Have you already watched this documentary? I highly recommend it—I was surprised to learn that early Christianity had a protofeminist sect.

Thanks for wasting our time.

Which live stream? This one?

What a load of crap. Moscow wants to prevent Ukraine from joining the NATO. Nobody is going to Russify Ukraine beyond replacing its current government with one that is more pro-Russian. Get over yourself.

ممنونم.

Ceremonial monarchies are part of the upper classes, and they should vanish for that reason alone.

Finally, the Palestinians and their annoying settler siblings can live on equal terms!

Herzlians: ‘Nobody will ever understand what it’s like to have your own city bombarded by heartless terrorists.’

Of course, the Herzlian ambassador insisted that the Islamic Rep. of Iran was targeting civilians. Nobody commented on the fact that somebody had the ingenious idea to build these military facilities ridiculously close to civilian structures.

Hamas was obviously using them as human shields. Get with the programme.

Considering how unhappy apartheid officials were with Washington announcing a 17% tariff on their régime, I find that unlikely.

Trump has told Reuters in a phone interview that it was unclear if Iran still has a nuclear program following Israeli strikes on the country.

Trump said [that] the U.S. still has nuclear talks planned with Iran on Sunday, but that he is not sure if they will still take place. He said [that] it was not too late for Iran to make a deal.

“I tried to save Iran humiliation and death,” Trump said.

He said [that] he is not concerned about a regional war breaking out as a result of Israel’s strikes.

Me too, thanks.

I still remember how yesteryear I was replaying Conflict: The Middle East Political Simulator while listening to Al Jazeera, and afterwards I assembled this image as a snarky comment on the Islamic Rep. of Iran launching drones at the occupation. At the time, I did not seriously believe that the Islamic Rep. of Iran was going to invade the occupation, only devastate the IOF. Now? An invasion doesn’t sound that unlikely. Maybe Tehran will limit itself to mere bombardments, but at this point, who knows.

All that I can say with certainty is that I’m mad at how this entire situation has been a waste of everything. A huge waste of Palestinian lives, a waste of the effort and other resources that went into their neighborhoods, a waste of their precious history, a waste of their time, a waste of our planet, and it is all because of this settler-colonial project that never needed to happen.

Benjamin Netanyahu I wanna beat the shit out of you.

Only a handful of Italians lived in Gubba and Afodo. The colonial presence was overwhelmingly represented by Ethiopians and Eritreans. They would have been very glad to keep on with their customary eating and drinking habits. Yet they were provided with European foods and drinks at an enormous cost.

Chaos & Cruelty: Trump Deploys Thousands of Soldiers to Put Down Anti-ICE Protests in Los Angeles

On Tuesday, Democracy Now interviewed Jean Guerrero, author of a book about Stephen Miller and Trump’s immigration agenda aptly titled Hatemonger. The segment first quotes LA mayor Karen Bass talking about the situation in LA: “We didn’t need the National Guard. Why on Earth? What are they going to do? … So, they need marines on top of it? I don’t understand that. That’s why I feel like we are part of an experiment that we did not ask to be a part of.”

Guerrero highlights the way the community in LA is coming together across traditional lines of division: “...people of all races and backgrounds are putting their bodies on the line to protect their friends, their neighbors, their family members from these arrests… I spoke to… white grandmothers, who are going out to protect people that they love and who they’re afraid could be picked up by ICE. I spoke to Latinas who are, you know, afraid of being racially profiled and arrested because of the indiscriminate nature of these arrests, but they are nevertheless putting their bodies on the line, because they’re citizens and they believe in using their privilege to defend the people that they care about.”

Anyone who has a phone and witnesses an ICE action can help by documenting that action: “The administration is ramping up deportations to a never-before-seen level, which means that they are more visible than ever. They used to happen in the shadows. Now people can see it happening everywhere. And people are taking out their phones… as a result, these deportations, these arrests are becoming much harder to misrepresent, and this is a threat to the narrative that Trump and Stephen Miller have spent years putting out there.”

I’ve seen first-person clips of October 2023 atrocities attributed to Hamas.

Do you have any idea if those are real or not? Given how self-incriminating those would be, I find it odd that Hamas would upload those videos.
