A quotation from Terry Pratchett
Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest and then I will murmur agreement, not actually say anything. I am not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard ...
But no one said anything. The cowards, each man thought.
Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author

🌊 China Launches Amphibious Assault Drills in South China Sea
China’s People’s Liberation Army launched large-scale amphibious assault drills in the South China Sea on June 27 under the Eastern Theater Command.
Training included air-cushion landing craft operations, live-fire wave assaults, and ship-to-shore maneuvers under “complex conditions,” according to footage released on social media.
The exercises follow recent Australia–UK freedom of navigation operations in the region and are viewed as a clear signal of China’s expanding capability to conduct offshore amphibious landings far from its home coast.

The reason that the United States Empire throws its resources toward indoctrinating people into believing that socialism and communism are nemeses, is not because the U.S. cares about people being oppressed.
The U.S. does that itself and is at the forefront of oppressing people around the world.
It is because socialism and communism are direct threats to capitalist colonialism, which is the system that the U.S. uses to oppress. Empire cannot exist if it cannot oppress.
Explore every possibility that Empire told you not to.
The Supreme Court enables fascism. America is in deep trouble.

Record numbers expected at march despite Hungary’s leader saying those attending will face ‘legal consequences’Ashifa Kassam (The Guardian)
Quoting Dr. Ruchama Marton: “We didn’t want to negotiate with them because we didn’t want to establish borders, and unofficially we wanted to expand them.”
Dr. Ruchama Marton, founder of Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, was a direct witness to war crimes in 1956 that influenced her lifelong documentation of Israel’s systematic violations of international law and human rights. In her book’s afterword (written after October 7): “Without a shadow of doubt, genocide is taking place in Gaza now… war crimes and genocide. These are words but it’s also true.”
At age 19, Dr. Ruchama Marton served as a soldier in the IDF’s Givati Brigade 54th Battalion during the 1956 Suez War, where she witnessed Israeli reserve soldiers executing Egyptian prisoners of war who had surrendered - thirsty, barefoot men who came down from the dunes. This traumatic experience left her unable to eat or sleep, requiring medical leave, and when she returned home, no one would listen to her account of what she had witnessed. The experience completely shattered her belief in #Zionism and concepts like “the most moral army in the world,” marking a definitive break from the ideology on which she was raised and setting her on a lifelong path of documenting Israeli war crimes and human rights violations.
Dr. Marton rejects #Zionism as an inherently violent and exclusionary ideology, viewing its “hard core” as creating “a land clean of Arabs.” She argues that Zionism’s trajectory from its beginnings was predictable and unjust, contrasting current force-based thinking with the peaceful coexistence she witnessed in pre-1948 Palestine, where her grandmother could safely walk through Palestinian neighborhoods. She dismisses concepts like “the most moral army in the world” as propaganda clichés and criticizes even the Zionist left for maintaining belief in Israel’s fundamental righteousness, arguing that contemporary Israeli society has become systematically racist and unwilling to consider alternatives to domination over Palestinians.
# Contextualizing Palestinian rejection of the partition of their homeland
Dr. Marton challenges the narrative that Palestinian rejection of the 1947 partition plan was unreasonable or the primary cause of the conflict. When confronted with the argument that Palestinians have consistently refused compromises, she responds: “Only they refused, we never refused, right? If you divide the world into two parts and see only one part, you can’t understand.”
Marton contextualizes Palestinian rejection by noting that under the partition plan, “they received 22% of the whole that they had. The British were against them and so was the rest of the world.” She argues that Palestinians “were never smart, but were we smart?” and points out that Israel benefited from “a lot of foreign money and weapons, mainly American and not only, which gave us the possibility of force and more force.”
Marton rejects the framing that portrays only Palestinian rejection as problematic, stating “They refused and we refused. We refused to negotiate with them because we didn’t want to establish borders, and unofficially we wanted to expand them.” She argues that American diplomatic, financial, and military support enabled Israel’s force-based approach, making the conflict’s trajectory less about Palestinian intransigence and more about the power imbalance that allowed Israel to avoid genuine compromise while pursuing territorial expansion.
