Israel murdered at least 61 Palestinian civilians on Tues, including at least 23 in a single strike on the al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City. As usual with the rogue state’s attacks, most of the victims were children. Israel invented stories of beheaded babies and murdered children during the 7 Oct '23 raid, subsequently exposed as lies. But it murders children and beheads babies daily across Gaza – and deliberately emasculates young boys – while starving those who evade its bombs and missiles.
Cutting "red tape" (aka public protections), as Reeves is doing, does not save money. Instead, it transfers costs from the rich to the poor. Other people pay for financial recklessness, filthy rivers, air pollution, lax building standards and consumer rip-offs.www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Capital demands that: 1. The government must strip away sensible rules which prevent businesses from attacking the public good. 2. The government must constrain *itself* with insanely restrictive pledges, such as Rachel Reeves's fiscal rules. 3. Protesters challenging capital must be locked up.

Chile: Brotherly Words from Prison, Before the Trial Against Aldo and Lucas Hernández
(Chile) Brotherly words from prison, before the trial against Aldo and Lucas Hernández
Words by Francisco Solar
To greet comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernandez in this difficult stage of the trial against them is, once again, to validate the insurrectional action. It is to support and understand the necessity of the forceful action for which Aldo is accused. An action that, by the way, shook the daily life inside this prison. An action that, like few others, made solidarity be felt in all its breadth.
The judicial spectacle is prepared, the anti-anarchist Prosecutor already has all his cards ready to return to condemn anarchists of action to harsh sentences, however, in the face of this adverse panorama, they will find themselves with dignified and whole comrades assumed in a life of combat as they have well demonstrated during these years of confinement. Aldo’s situation has been complicated by being classified and locked up, these last months, in a maximum security module where it is not clear when he will be able to get out.
All the strength for Aldo and Lucas with the certainty that no sentence is eternal and knowing that every action is worth it.
Aldo and Lucas to the streets!
Let the prisons explode!

Words by Joaquín García
Before the beginning of the trial against comrades Aldo and Lucas;
In the next few days a new theater of Power will begin: two comrades will begin the final stage of the judicial inquisition, the last media feast; after this, nothing is public….
I know, it is clear to me, that they will face this stage with all the solidity that characterizes them, firm in their convictions, as they have shown in and out of jail, in word and action.
In times when news, ideas and initiatives seem to have a superfluous, instantaneous and innocuous character, you have given a lesson of fortitude and antagonistic solidarity, you are and have been truly comrades to count on, who could doubt your commitment? How many others have put their will at the disposal of solidarity? Or of vengeance?
They are exceptional compañeros! And that is a treasure that will always accompany them.

Words of Juan Aliste
I write from real affection, outside of the slogan, since your actions are in themselves an account of your imprint as comrades in solidarity and anarchists of action.
There where you crossed the bridge of no return of subversion, fusing thought/reflection with action. In this walk, hearts meet in an untamed beat of complicity and complicity that is proof against walls, oppression and death.
I know they have the pulse of the enemy they face, I reaffirm and salute their strength and integrity in this situation of juridical shit.
Today it is your turn to continue being what you are with the brightness of your antagonistic look, the tenderness towards your own and the fertile fist of resistance.
Brothers, with conviction and fighters who will know how to sustain the political tuck-in of those who hold power!
May this unwanted transit through prison and the dictates of the mercenaries of power not cloud for a second the conviction of their lives.
The complicit embrace reaffirms that neither walls, oppression or death reach the fiber of our hearts?
Memory, resistance and subversion!

IN THE FACE OF THE TRIAL OF ALDO AND LUCAS HERNÁNDEZ WORDS OF INSURRECTIONAL SOLIDARITY WITH THE KOMPAÑERXS.
Always on the side of those who fight against Power and all Authority.
Solidarity among Insurrectionists is komplicity in the daily struggle for the total destruction of the prison society.
Solidarity among anti-authoritarians is the sharing of ideas and practices that have been maintained over time in this long march of Offensive Resistance for Total Liberation and that legitimize self-defense as essential in this winding road of struggle for the total transformation of the reality in which we live and resist without anything stopping us. Aldo and Lucas Hernandez will be judged and condemned by the democratic inkisition of capital. Beyond the facts that they are accused of here what is intended to be judged is the black thread of anarkia. It is the thought and the subversive praxis of an antiauthoritarian konvixion that does not stop, that is still alive and surely nothing and nobody will ever be able to extinguish it. A strong cry of call for Active Solidarity and Insurrectionary Complicity with the comrades Aldo and Lucas!!!
Make ideas a real threat!
Aldo and Lucas Hernandez to the street!
As long as there is misery there will be rebellion!!!!

La Gonzalina Rancagua Prison
Words by Tomás González
Prison is a sub-world where many get lost, but this is only the consequence of our actions. It is important to have the clear notion that once you have taken the path there is no turning back. Here we do not play at being a revolutionary, here our lives go happily as we give ourselves body and soul to strike against the tyrannical and oppressive enemy of our people and popular people. Prison is only a method and silent tool of the state to break the will of the people, but the conscience is never silent and that keeps us unbreakable in the face of any attempt of the miserable gears of this oppressive force. In this intramural walk where many looks have been almost a home based on the complicity and unique spark that scream freedom, I have met some beautiful comrades among them Lucas and Aldo who are about to face another process within a larger one, they keep their heads up ready to continue opening the way as many of us who remain prisoners making these filthy walls one more trench of war and thus move forward without stopping.
I want to leave these brief words as a way of complicity with all the prisoners and their families who resist inside and outside the prisons, to all the subversive comrades, anarchists, nihilists and rebels.
No dungeon, nor any of its guards will be able to put an end to our spirit that spreads like water in its channel, nourishing life itself.
Our weapons thirsty for popular justice claim our hands to aim them and occupy them against the defenders of misery.
Aldo and Lucas to the streets.
Tomás González Quezada.
Subversive prisoner.

Words from José Cáceres
I would like to begin by greeting all the comrades deprived of liberty in the different prisons throughout the country, to all of them my warmest greetings along with my respect to each one of them for bearing with dignity the unworthy, cruel, unjust and increasingly barbaric prison system to which we have been unjustly subjected.
On repeated occasions we cry out for justice, indeed we demand it, but have we ever thought to whom we demand it?
Yes… no more and no less than to those who throughout time and history have committed the greatest atrocities, human massacres, extermination of peoples, coup d’états, wars, colonization of “savage” peoples to “civilize” them, all this to increase their economic and territorial power and thus be able to have control over the rest of the people. All these actions have their consequences thousands of dead, disappeared, irreparable damages to our nuke mapu and its mongüeil itrofil.
All this supported and endorsed by laws that the kapitalist system through its various faithful dogs, its governments and institutions leave it unpunished, letting it be seen in the light as an act done in the name of science, technology or in the name of god
The bases of this system will be in charge of sentencing our comrades Aldo and Lucas, those who know them can attest to the drive, courage, bravery and conviction of these comrades, qualities that lead them to be today facing unjust accusations, which in practice, if they are real, could only be called popular justice.
Compañeras and compañeros, difficult times are coming for Aldo and Lucas. The enemy is vengeful, we must not forget it, the territory they are going through is difficult, we must be more present than ever, especially in this coming stage.
Comrades Aldo and Lucas all my newen for you, a strong hug and a cordial greeting for your family and loved ones.
Let’s stop surviving and accept the challenge of living, living with all that it entails, there is no justice for the people unless we do it ourselves.
Against the tightening of prison control, solidarity and action!!!!
Freedom for Aldo and Lucas!!!
Freedom for Milan and Tomás PP 6 de Julio!!!!!
Freedom for all subversive, anarchist and mapuche political prisoners!!!!!

Regional Resistance Factions Respond to the Zionist Aggression in Syria
Regional anti-colonial Resistance factions released statements denouncing the Zionist aggression against Syria.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad condemns the zionist strike on Damascus, claiming that “israel” is trying to fragment the region through violence. The movement reaffirms solidarity with Syria and supports its right to resist by all means, stressing the importance of Syrian unity.
The DFLP links the attacks to Netanyahu’s regional ambitions, criticizing “israel’s” daily violations of Arab sovereignty. It calls for Arab and international action and warns that the affected peoples will resist with dignity.
Ansarallah denounced the “israeli” strike on Syria as part of a larger imperialist scheme to dominate the Arab and Islamic world. They call for a unified Arab-Islamic response and an end to silence in the face of “israeli” aggression.
Hezbollah framed the attack on Syria as part of “israel’s” long-term plan to dominate and divide the region. It calls for Syrian unity with a unified Arab and Islamic resistance, emphasizing that “israel’s” real goal is total regional subjugation.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command condemned the “israeli” aggression on Syria, emphasizing that “israel” remains the central existential enemy of the Arab nation. The statement affirmed that resistance is the only natural response to the occupation’s crimes, and that national, Arab, and Islamic unity among resistance forces is the most effective defense against “israel’s” plans and normalization efforts. Supporting the resistance, especially in Palestine, is seen as essential to sustaining the struggle and achieving genuine liberation for the land and the broader Arab and Islamic nations.
The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement condemns the zionist aggression on Syria as part of a broader U.S.-“israeli” campaign to destabilize the region. It identifies “israel” as the main threat to regional unity and calls for resistance and Arab-Islamic unity to confront its aggression and expansionist plans.
Hamas issued a strong condemnation of the recent zionist aggression against Syria. The movement stated that this fascist aggression, which led to the martyrdom of dozens of Syrian army, security forces, and civilians, is a blatant violation of international law. Hamas affirmed full solidarity with Syria and called on all Arab and Islamic nations, alongside the free people of the world, to unite and confront this continuous zionist aggression and the occupation’s plans targeting the region’s will and independence.

Ansarallah’s Solidarity Blockade Shuts Eilat Port Down, Major Economic Blow to Occupiers
The Zionist economic media outlet The Marker reported that the port of Eilat will completely cease operations starting next Sunday after the city municipality froze its bank accounts due to millions of shekels in accumulated debts.
This development comes as the port has faced near-total paralysis since November 2023, when Yemen imposed a naval blockade on ships heading to the occupying entity, leading to a sharp decline in revenue and a collapse in commercial activity at the facility.
The Eilat Municipality announced that it had frozen the port’s bank accounts due to massive accumulated debts, and according to the Zionist economic outlet The Marker, all operations will come to a complete halt starting Sunday, signaling a total economic shutdown of the port.
The crisis at Eilat Port began when Yemeni forces imposed a naval blockade on ships heading to the occupation, prompting international shipping companies to avoid the Red Sea route, which brought the port’s operations to a near standstill and caused a collapse in its revenue.
The Eilat Municipality stated that the port’s debts had exceeded its repayment capacity, forcing the municipality to take legal action by freezing its accounts following months of declining commercial activity and the port’s failure to pay municipal fees, with Eilat Port being one of the occupation’s most important Red Sea harbors.
Earlier, The Marker revealed that Eilat Port’s revenues had plummeted by 80% in 2024 after ships stopped docking there due to Yemen’s maritime blockade in the Red Sea, which was imposed in support of the Gaza Strip.
Yemen remains adamant in its naval blockade
On Tuesday, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, confirmed that their forces had successfully targeted a key Zionist military site in the occupied Naqab region using drone strikes.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree emphasized in a July 15 statement that these operations represent a continuation of Yemen’s support for Gaza amid the war, affirming that military actions will continue without interruption until the aggression ceases and the siege on Palestinians is completely lifted.
“The operations are continuing as part of our religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward the oppressed people of Gaza,” Saree stated.
Yemen’s armed forces have reaffirmed that their Red Sea operations exclusively target ships connected to the Zionist regime or participating in the aggression against Gaza, with recent strikes hitting the Eilat-bound vessel ETERNITY C and intercepting the Magic Seas in Red Sea waters.
The Yemeni Armed Forces released video footage on Wednesday confirming the successful targeting and sinking of the ETERNITY C, a commercial vessel headed toward the occupied port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), on July 9, 2025.
The video, shared by the official Yemeni military media outlet, documents multiple communications made by the Yemeni Naval Forces to the ETERNITY C’s crew.

Have you ever felt that exhilarating rush of adrenaline as you perfectly timed a jump, dodging spikes and navigating impossible obstacles? If so, you might already be familiar with the captivating world of Geometry Jump. But if you're new to the genre, or just looking for a fresh perspective, let's dive into one of its most recognizable stars: Geometry Dash. This isn't your average platformer. Forget elaborate stories or complex controls. Geometry Dash, and other games like it, offer a deceptively simple, yet endlessly challenging, experience built around rhythm, reaction, and sheer determination. So, buckle up, because we're about to embark on a journey through its blocky, musical landscapes. The Heartbeat of the Game: Understanding the Gameplay At its core, Geometry Dash is a rhythm-based platformer. You control a small icon (typically a cube) that automatically moves forward. Your only control is a single tap, which makes your icon jump. That's it. Seems easy, right? Wrong. The game throws a relentless barrage of obstacles your way: spikes, blocks, moving platforms, and gaps that seem impossibly wide. The key to survival is timing your jumps perfectly, syncing your actions to the beat of the music. The music isn't just background noise; it's an integral part of the gameplay, providing audio cues that help you anticipate upcoming challenges. As you progress through the levels, new gameplay mechanics are introduced. You'll encounter: • Ships: These allow you to control vertical movement by holding down the tap button to ascend and releasing to descend. Mastering ship control is crucial for navigating narrow corridors and avoiding deadly ceilings. • Balls: These introduce a gravity-flipping mechanic. Tapping changes your ball's gravity, forcing you to strategically flip between the top and bottom of the screen to avoid obstacles. • UFOs: Similar to the ship, the UFO allows you to jump and glide through the air, but with a different feel and rhythm. • Waves: These introduce a challenging wave form that requires precise, rapid taps to navigate tight spaces. • Robots: These allow for variable jump heights based on how long you hold the tap button. And that's not all! You'll also encounter portals that change your size, mirror your movement, or even reverse the direction of gravity. Each element requires a different timing and strategy, keeping the gameplay fresh and challenging. To give you a good starting point, you can also find resources like this one: Geometry Dash. They offer a selection of online Geometry Dash games that you can play directly from your browser. Survival Tips for Aspiring Geometry Dash Masters Okay, so you understand the basics. Now, how do you actually play well? Here are a few tips to help you survive the onslaught of spikes and blocks: • Listen to the Music: We mentioned this earlier, but it's worth repeating. The music is your best friend. Pay attention to the beat and use it to anticipate upcoming jumps and obstacles. • Practice, Practice, Practice: There's no substitute for practice. The more you play a level, the more familiar you'll become with its layout and timing. Don't be afraid to repeat sections over and over again. • Use Practice Mode: Geometry Dash features a practice mode that allows you to place checkpoints throughout the level. This is invaluable for learning difficult sections without having to start from the beginning every time you die. • Don't Give Up: Geometry Dash is notoriously difficult. You will die. A lot. The key is to learn from your mistakes, adjust your timing, and keep trying. The satisfaction of finally beating a challenging level is well worth the effort. • Experiment with Different Icons: While the gameplay remains the same, different icons can provide a slightly different feel. Some players find that certain icons are easier to control than others. • Adjust Your Settings: Experiment with the game's settings, such as turning on "smooth fix" or adjusting the graphical quality, to find what works best for your device. Beyond the Main Levels: Exploring the Community One of the most appealing aspects of Geometry Dash is its thriving community. Players can create and share their own levels, ranging from simple, beginner-friendly challenges to incredibly complex and visually stunning creations. This allows for endless replayability and ensures that there's always something new to discover. Exploring community levels can be a great way to hone your skills and discover new techniques. You can also find levels that cater to your specific preferences, whether you enjoy fast-paced challenges or more atmospheric and visually appealing experiences. The End Game: Why Geometry Dash is So Addictive So, what makes Geometry Dash so captivating? It's a combination of factors: • Simple Controls, High Skill Ceiling: The game is easy to pick up and play, but mastering it requires dedication and skill. • Addictive Gameplay Loop: The constant cycle of dying, learning, and improving is incredibly addictive. • Rhythm-Based Mechanics: The synchronization with the music creates a unique and engaging experience. • Community-Driven Content: The endless stream of user-created levels provides endless replayability. Ultimately, Geometry Dash is a testament to the power of simple, well-executed gameplay. It's a game that rewards perseverance, challenges your reflexes, and keeps you coming back for more. So, if you're looking for a challenging and addictive experience, give it a try. You might just find yourself hooked on the rhythm. Now go out there, bounce, and try not to die (too many times)! """
