Laith Marouf takes Asier Herranz, Basque revolutionary patriot, to visit the site where Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was martyred in the largest recorded attack to assassinate one individual.Free Palestine TV (FPTV’s Substack)
On May 2025, 53,000 #Palestinians had been killed by Israeli attacks, according to health authorities in Gaza, a toll that included combatants and civilians. Fighters named (8900) in the Israeli military intelligence database accounted for just 17% of the total, which indicates that 83% of the dead were civilians.
That apparent ratio of civilians to combatants among the dead is extremely high for modern warfare, even compared with conflicts notorious for indiscriminate killing, including the Syrian and Sudanese civil wars.
Many #genocide scholars, lawyers and #humanrights activists, including Israeli academics and campaign groups, say Israel is committing genocide in #Gaza, citing the mass killing of civilians and imposed #starvation.

« Son parcours est urbanistique : de la spéculation immobilière à la maison de campagne. Des cabanes à lapins de Pompidou à la somptueuse résidence secondaire. Le profit fait sur la ville est réinvesti (partiellement) à la campagne. (Comme la bourgeoisie d’argent l’a toujours fait depuis le Moyen Age).
Trois moments « socio-culturels » de cette spéculation.
D’abord, la désertification des campagnes : envoyer les paysans et les habitants des petits bourgs travailler dans les grandes villes et dans la banlieue parisienne (et expédier aussi les travailleurs de Paris dans la banlieue). Puis, alors, racheter à vil prix terres et maisons. Enfin, par la loi sur les plus-values, empêcher d’autres parvenus, trop tard parvenus, de faire ces spéculations. (Le hippie se situe, lui aussi, dans cette mouvance. Comme un charognard, il s’installe dans la misère rurale. De la désertification, il fait un décor bucolique. De la restauration archaïque et artisanale – au noir – une source de revenus). Liquidation de la Vieille France, réinvestissement des profits de l’industrie et du commerce, bucolisme écologisant ; triple dimension de la résidence secondaire qui entrelace les acquis de la technocratisation et les rêveries champêtres des arrivistes et parvenus.
Autant l’implantation des usages mondains de la civilisation capitaliste témoigne d’un arrivisme sauvage, d’un narcissisme vulgaire, d’une libido arrogante, autant la maîtrise de toutes les techniques et de tous les moments de la consommation mondaine témoigne de la convivialité.
C’est le moment de la halte. Du repos. La maison de campagne était nécessaire à la consommation mondaine. On aime se reposer auprès d’un bon feu de bois. Après la promiscuité libidinale des marginalités mondaines, la campagne sauvage. Les autochtones, ça change quand même des têtes du cosmopolitisme de l’industrie du loisir. Et puis, à la maison de campagne, il y a aussi tout ce qu’il faut. On peut, entre intimes, à l’occasion, s’y éclater encore, tranquillement.
Ayant usé et abusé de toutes les animations, prêt à repartir vers de nouveaux rivages, le nouveau bourgeois se repose ensa maison de campagne, relais et pivot de sa prodigieuse migration mondaine (reflet inversé de la migration du travailleur rural qu’il a délogé). »

_Five Myths About the History of Political Thought_
A lecture by historian Ralph Raico that debunks common misconceptions about classical liberalism and modern political ideologies.
Raico challenges the idea that the French Enlightenment and figures like Rousseau were central to liberalism's development, argues against viewing John Stuart Mill as an indispensable liberal theorist, and contends that constitutionalism is not a guaranteed solution for liberty.
He also suggests that classical liberalism does not inherently oppose the concept of class conflict or exploitation, a view often attributed to Marxism.
In detail:
1. The Enlightenment and Rousseau were central to liberalism:
Raico argues that the French Enlightenment and Rousseau, far from being central to liberalism's development, may have been detrimental to it.
2. John Stuart Mill was an essential 19th-century liberal theorist:
Raico views Mill as a "disaster" for liberalism.
3. Liberalism opposes class conflict:
The myth that liberalism frowns upon class conflict and exploitation is challenged, as Raico suggests this idea is not exclusively Marxist.
4. Constitutionalism will save us:
Raico expresses skepticism that constitutionalism alone can secure liberty.
5. Americans have a proper understanding of liberalism:
Raico suggests the term "liberal" has been distorted in the US, with the left claiming ownership and applying it to ideologies like social democracy.
Key Themes:
Radical Roots of Liberalism: The lecture reclaims the radical origins of liberalism, which stood for individual freedom and a self-regulating society without state interference.
Challenge to Conventional Narratives: Raico's lecture, informed by his work The Struggle for Liberty, challenges standard historical interpretations of classical liberalism.
Critique of Progressive Interpretations: Raico's perspective contrasts with the "progressive liberalism" that has become more dominant in contemporary discourse.

Hola chikis!
Hace tiempo que llevo dándole vueltas a una idea que me gustaría compartir y llevar acabo para apoyar a las personas trans al respecto de lo que está pasando con la transfobia y en particular con J. K. Rowling, quien está financiando este movimiento.
Llevo siendo fan de Harry Potter desde los 9-10 años y en todo este tiempo he comprado y me han regalado todo tipo de merch de la saga, asi que cuando me enteré de que JK estaba financiando proyectos transfobos y en contra del colectivo LGBTIQ+ me sentí fatal por haber permitido que todo ese dinero fuese destinado a algo de lo que estoy completamente en contra. Me reconozco como persona queer desde los 13 años asi que me dolió especialmente por eso, asi que decidí que no volvería a comprar más cosas de Harry Potter e intento que no me las regalen.
Entonces, cuando hace poco J. K. Rowling financió con dinero obtenido de Harry Potter una campaña transfoba que llevó a la retirada de derechos de personas trans de Reino Unido, se me ocurrió que algo que podía hacer para aportar mi pequeño grano de arena era donar dinero a asociaciones trans, ¿y que mejor manera de hacerlo que vendiendo las cosas de Harry Potter que ya no quiera y donar todo el dinero que obtenga? Sería justicia poética, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que la mayoría de fans son personas LGBTIQ+
Creo que es una manera de contrarrestar, al menos un poco, el daño que J. K. Rowling está haciendo con los beneficios de su obra. Harry Potter, por si mismo, no tiene la culpa de lo que está pasando, pero los beneficios que genera a su autora si.
Me gustaría organizar algo con esta idea, algo que pueda llegar a mas gente, algo colaborativo con asocis y que sirva para apoyar a la gente trans, que sepan que no están soles y que deje claro que les fans de Harry Potter no estamos conformes con esto
Nunca he hecho algo así, por lo que me vendria genial ayuda. Si te interesa participar o ayudar comenta y hablamos!

Figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence database indicate five out of six Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza have been civilians, an extreme rate of slaughter rarely matched in recent decades of warfare.
As of May, 19 months into the war, Israeli intelligence officials listed 8,900 named fighters from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as dead or “probably dead”, a joint investigation by the Guardian, the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call has found.
At that time 53,000 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli attacks, according to health authorities in Gaza, a toll that included combatants and civilians. Fighters named in the Israeli military intelligence database accounted for just 17% of the total, which indicates that 83% of the dead were civilians.
