#CombatantsForPeace: This Wednesday, August 20th, we invite you to join Dry Lands, Deep Courage: Co-Resisting Water #Apartheid in the #JordanValley — a conversation with Palestinian and Israeli CfP activists working together to defend the basic human right to water. This event is part of our summer campaign, Emergency Assistance, Shared Resistance. The conversation will be moderated by Eszter Koranyi, Israeli Executive Director of CfP. You’ll hear from the following speakers: (1/x) #WestBank
Elie Avidor – An Israeli engineer and former combatant, now working side-by-side with Palestinian shepherd communities in the Jordan Valley to protect them from settler violence and displacement. Jamil Qassas – Palestinian General Coordinator of CfP, a refugee whose family was displaced in 1948, and a steadfast leader of nonviolent resistance.
Iris Gur – An Israeli human rights advocate whose journey into peace activism began when her daughter was imprisoned for refusing mandatory military service. Sayel Jabareen – A Palestinian activist and Campaigns Manager for Combatants for Peace, leading nonviolent initiatives on the ground across the West Bank.
Together, these voices will bring you inside the daily reality of water apartheid, revealing how it shapes life in the Jordan Valley — and how communities are pushing back. They’ll also share clear, actionable ways you can stand in solidarity and advocate for justice for all. We hope to see you soon!
Iris Gur, an Israeli member from #CombatantsForPeace: "Last Friday my group, the Jordan valley activists, with 24hours shifts in protective presence, we went to a little community with children and elders for a night shift. One of the boys, 17 years old, was very afraid and asked her to look at the water tanks at night because they had just bought water: 'I am afraid: in another community settlers polluted the water tank" I know this boy for two years. I never saw him so afraid, so tired'"
The story of Iris Gur: "In 2017, my youngest daughter, Noa, told me she was refusing to serve in the army. My first reaction was to shout: “How dare you?” That was the beginning of a shared journey. Noa was imprisoned for four months in a military prison. While supporting her, I began my own journey to truly understand. I was labeled a “radical leftist,” and even now, I struggle to understand what is so radical about wanting freedom, justice, and safety for all people." cfpeace.org/personal-stories-1…
Edited the first post because not 100% sure if I got the quote correctly. Will share the youtube link the next days for the whole event once it's published.
"If I don't go, I will miss them. I go for myself. I am getting more than I am giving. There, I can feel hope. And we will hold it. As Jameel said: One day the occuption will be over.
I am a second generation from the holocaust. Maybe my kids will ask me one day: where were you? And i can say proudly: I was not silent. We do our best."

The only solution out of this humanity self destruction mode would be revolution, but since capitalism corrupted the majority of the population, this is not likely to happen… And this unfortunately is not pessimism, it’s just realism.
Even if you yourself don’t believe everything is culture war, there are people who do – and they hate you and everything you believe in and have way more money and influence and personality disorders than you RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:q763i…
the key point is Finland and Sweden weren't part of NATO until after Russia invaded. Russia had neutral neighbors but with the coup in Ukraine and the fighting in the Donbas and the training and weapons going in, that was changing. they felt they had to respond to a hostile power setting up in their border. I wonder if any peace agreement might include Finland and Sweden leaving NATO too. It really needs to be disbanded or we leave it.
or we give Russia NATO membership. The most frustrating aspect is that we had them defeated in the 90s, we could have made them our biggest ally and maintained a unipolar grip on the world. This is why I shout about the evils of the neocons and how their 30+ year hold of the country has brought about the fall of the empire.
Max Blumenthal has been a fixture in dissident left circles for maybe a decade. I constantly forget that your understanding of "the left" might be extremely limited, so you think we're either MSDNC or Libs of TikTok. I guess that's exactly what corporate media and lots of conservative alt media wants you to think.
The Left in my mind: -Anyone who believes things like systemic racism are real -Anyone who wears a mask in 2025 -Believes governments can fix cultural and social issues through regulation -conflates scientist with science and thus objective -Thinks of nationalism as having a negative connotation -Believes diversity is our greatest strength -Either has or believes septum piercings are cool/attractive -Values Justice over Liberty
I remember NA being freaked out about walking by people who were vaxed, thinking it might cause reproductive issues. I'm sure no conservative conspiracy people wear masks.
isn't the pro life movement for regulation to deal with a cultural/social issue?
Well, I understand not wanting to continue a tedious thread, but there are certainly less snide and divisive ways to do it. Still, he had some very solid responses that you dodged with that comment.
@wjmaggos After the constant juvenile whining you bring to every unrelated thread I'm in, you don't really deserve an explanation as to why your show was removed from the NA stream anymore. But I'll throw you a bone.
For YEARS, I defended running CWR in the playlist against a VERY vocal, and yes, largely conservative audience. NAS was never supposed to be overtly partisan; we wanted a counterpoint to the m5m narrative from interesting and thoughtful voices. These tended to skew righward because with the media bias, most left-leaning shows were just echoing m5m talking points. A few shows like CWR and Briney brought original ideas, so against the vocal will of the more partisan trolls, they stayed in the playlist.
Eventually, though, I was instructed (by someone higher-up than me) to remove CWR. Not because of your politics, but because of your production quality.
If, at any point, you had simply asked me, I would have told you this, and offered pointers how to bring up the quality. But instead you chose to assume ("falsely", to borrow an m5m dogwhistle) that I had some sort of vendetta, and that was the only explanation. I compartmentalize my personal opinions from any professiinal duties. And I don't abuse power for personal grudges. That you think I have so little integrity to do so is the part that really hurt.
You have not once come to me in anything resembling a civil manner askjng if there was anything you could do to re-earn the slot. You have merely sniped and whined and questioned my judgment and impugned my integrity.
And still you cry about the incivility in the world whenever someone gets sick of your bullshit.
damnit, I wrote that and then you confused the post USSR history.
we tried to bring in Russia in the 90s but as subservient to us and our economic interests. like we always do. and their people didn't like the economics of that and elected Putin to restore more self determination. less market fundamentalism.
you merged Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
there is no world govt so you get big players being bullies. it's natural. we bully. that won't stop till the UN is strong/structured to do so.

L’Ukraine offre un contrat d’armement de 100 milliards de dollars à Trump pour obtenir des garanties de sécurité (archivé) – Financial Times, 19 août 2025
L’Ukraine a promis d’acheter 100 milliards de dollars d’armes américaines financées par l’Europe dans le but d’obtenir des garanties américaines pour sa sécurité après un accord de paix avec la Russie, selon un document consulté par le Financial Times.
Alexander G. Rubio @AlexanderGRubi2 – 2:22 UTC * 19 août 2025
Le plan est que les États-Unis vendent des armes aux Européens, qui les fourniront ensuite à Kiev. Cependant, les États-Unis n’ont pas les armes à vendre, les Européens n’ont pas l’argent pour les acheter et Kiev n’a pas les soldats pour les utiliser. A part ça, c’est un plan infaillible.
[Poutine] a noté que ces personnes ont « exécuté avec plaisir tout ordre du président à Washington sous Biden » mais “se sont embrouillées lorsque Trump a soudainement remporté” les élections de novembre.
« Ils n’aiment tout simplement pas Trump, ils l’ont activement combattu, se sont ingérés dans la vie politique, dans les élections américaines. Trump a des idées différentes sur ce qui est bon et ce qui est mauvais, y compris en matière de politique de genre et sur d’autres sujets, et ils n’aiment pas ça« , a déclaré Poutine. […]
« Je vous assure que Trump, avec son caractère et sa persévérance, rétablira l’ordre assez rapidement. Et tous, vous verrez, bientôt tous se tiendront aux pieds du maître et remueront doucement la queue« , a soutenu Poutine.

C’est au-delà de la parodie : non seulement l’UE ne fait pratiquement rien pour échapper au racket de protection qu’elle subit de la part des États-Unis, mais elle est maintenant censée payer pour celui de l’Ukraine…
D’autant plus absurde si l’on considère que l’expansion de l’OTAN – l’institutionnalisation de ce racket de protection – a été le principal catalyseur de ce conflit.

There is nothing off the table anymore And there doesn’t seem to be a bottom floor ‘It can’t happen here’ is something that we’ll never say again Because you know it can It’s really happening
There is nothing off the table anymore And the men in boots are marching past your door Will you yell things out the window? Will you wave a little sign? Will you fight them? Will you join them? Will you hide & close the blinds?
There is nothing off the table anymore It’s bit too much like 1934 If you ever wondered what you’d do if you had lived back then Congratufuckinlations It’s happening again
But possibility swings both ways At the risk of sounding silly There might be some better days ahead If they can dig a hole We can make a hill
There is nothing off the table anymore And the ship that brought us burns upon the shore When we talked about apocalypse not being an event But kinda more a process This is what we meant
There’s nothing off the table anymore (When things start to fall apart) You may be lonely angry sad & scared & bored (& you’re feeling helpless, help) Well there’s important work to do & all you really have is time (try to help somebody else) Some of the work is legal, some of it is crimes
There’s nothing off the table anymore (When they try to cramp your style) When the field is gone nobody’s keeping score The empire has no power, everyone has hit the showers (You can get more with a smile) & in the field instead of lawn a thousand different flowers (& a gun than just a smile)
But possibility swings both ways At the risk of sounding silly There might be some better days ahead If they can dig a hole We can make a hill

1 of 2 Y'all please pray for us all today! Joshua is flying from Kansas City to Hawaii today! He has friends there he has known online for years (inc. a girl), and he is going to stay with them and acclimate and try to find a job, he says. He's 20, but he was homeschooled and has never gone anywhere alone before, beyond riding his bike to the store to buy a soda!
2 of 2 We need God to be with us all. Nicole is driving him to the KC airport, and Paul is with her, but he doesn't drive. I am staying here with Nathan. It's a 3 1/2 hour drive, and likely the time at the airport will be long and hard, so that they won't be home until tonight. Pray for safety for Nicole and Paul in the drive, and keep praying for Joshua as he "jumps off the cliff" into adult life.
He is smart and was taught well, but remembering myself at that age is fear inducing, and remembering his father's decision making at that age is also. But he has lots of prayer, so I have hope.
@DianaSez. I traveled beetween NY and Taipei and beyond when I was 19. The most important thing I learned is that what parents don't know cant hurt them.

I need like, one fucking liberal to stand up and say "the Liberal politicians I've supported are anti-speech and equally responsible for creating the gestapo forces that Trump had readily available to him on *Day 1* of his administration".
One of them.
There are no arguments against the above statement that don't rely on rank partisanship and ideological extremism. ~*BOTH*~ parties are anti-speech and pro-police state.
The only difference is *who they target* and *how flagrant they are*.
BTW - neither party is even remotely interested in listening to voters on this issue. Democrats *threw away the most important election in US history* because they were so deeply uninterested in listening to speech they disagreed with.
I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but we're lucky that Trump won: neoliberal fascism under Harris or her successor would have been a lot smoother, a lot slower, a lot more durable and a lot harder to burn to ash.
You know better-- they weren't merely "disinterested", they're actively hostile and deliberately sabotaging their own base.
There's no luck involved. What you describe under Harris is absolutely and already the plan for the next Democratic administration, which the current administration is designed to soften us up for.
"Democrats only attacked and imprisoned a few people for saying stuff they don't like, though!" is a response, but it's a smoothbrained and infantile response that misunderstands the nature of tyranny.

(AI) Citrus greening disease, also known as Huanglongbing (HLB), is a devastating bacterial disease caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus and primarily spread by the Asian citrus psyllid, a small insect that feeds on citrus leaves and transmits the bacteria. This disease has severely impacted orange orchards globally, particularly in Florida, where it was first detected in 2005 and has since led to a 74% reduction in citrus production.
