Enemy occupier knows that if it accepts a ceasefire with the resistance intact, it will rightly be seen as a defeat. Yet there is no victory it can win. So it is continuing to bomb and kill for no purpose and with no strategic goal except to save face. Israel has already lost.
Israel excels at killing children and destroying buildings, but its psychotic massacres wins it no political or strategic gains. It only exposes itself more to the world as the illegitimate, criminal, time-limited entity that it is. We'll see the end of this colonial horror show.
A colonial, apartheid entity sustained only by the sadistic, violent denial of the basic rights of the indigenous majority population has no "right to exist." That indigenous majority has every right to resist and struggle for liberation.
I guarantee you that even after 73 years of Nakba, you won't find any Palestinian outside the defeatist, collaborationist circles of Mahmoud Abbas who believes that the Zionist colonial regime is permanent and cannot be defeated.
Israel bombed the Associated Press because it can't cause any significant damage to the capacities of the resistance. Regime leaders and generals know it, but they lie to their own people and the world that they are making "military" gains. They are not.
The next stop for @Netanyahu, @gantzbe and any world leaders who aid and abet their crimes must be @IntlCrimCourt. These criminals must be pariahs and every people and country in the world must close its doors to them.

Lol Netanyahu just called the building where the Associated Press and a bunch of other international news agencies had their offices a "terror tower."
The war criminal Netanyahu referred to some Palestinian citizens of Israel as "murderous Arab gangs" but to Jews who carry out lynchings as "Jews" who "take the law into their own hands." That tells you all you need to know about this racist.
So apparently according to Netanyahu, Palestinian citizens of Israel deserve to be lynched, but these lynchings should be carried out by the state and its "law," not by individual Jews.
New paper from spooky Israeli think tank @ReutGroup says US struggle for Black lives/rights is a threat to Jews (whom it falsely equates with Zionists), because Jews aren't allowed to support anti-Palestinian racism and still call themselves "progressive"
This is not the first time Israel and its lobby target Black activism as a "threat" to be either co-opted and destroyed. I've written about this before: electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
It's also significant that Israel is intensifying its attack on US Black struggle at precisely the time major "progressives" like @AOC, @AyannaPressley, @JamaalBowmanNY and others are abjectly pandering to the Israel lobby:
Once again Israel’s electorate is divided between the racist far right and the racist far-far right.
My expert prediction is that Israel’s next government will be a finely balanced coalition bringing together the far-right racists and the far-right racists, possibly with far-right racist support from outside. This will depend on which faction the far-right racists decide to back
Keep your eye in particular on the far-right racists, as veteran Israel watchers know they are the kingmakers.
If China does something badly –> China BAD AND SCARY
If China does something well –> China STILL BAD AND SCARY
After 9/11, Western regimes and their lackey media set to work propagandizing their populations against Muslims. Today they are in overdrive propagandizing their populations against China, Russia. Western politics are the policy of envy, xenophobia and permanent fear-mongering.
Remember that American liberals spent the past year berating Trump for not invoking the Defense Production Act, exactly the kind of measure that is denounced as "authoritarian" when China successfully mobilizes productive resources to fight the pandemic.
CNN is referring to what happened yesterday as a "domestic terror attack." But it just sounds so unserious, and as ever when "terrorism" is invoked by the establishment, it’s mostly a way to avoid hard, systemic questions about how and why we're here.
Chest-beating from Democrats about Our Great Republic and Democracy is just so hollow to me. The mob who ransacked @SpeakerPelosi’s office can never come close to the national and global looting by the corporations and war industry that Democrats and Republicans all loyally serve
Riots/protests are framed as An Attack On Our Democracy and Representatives. But who believes that Congress actually represents anyone but the rich and powerful? They can't even give people healthcare and cut them a decent check in the middle of an once in a century pandemic!
Having only emerged as something resembling a democracy in the 1960s, when formal apartheid was lifted, America’s short lived experiment may be coming to an end.
“Democracy” is supposed to peacefully manage conflicts over economic resources. The reason it’s seen to be “breaking down” is that it doesn’t fulfill that function: No matter who you vote for wealth continues its relentless concentration in fewer and fewer hands.
“Democracy” without economic democracy is just theater and eventually ends up producing the backlash and revolts we see everywhere. The same will happen in the EU as unaccountable apparatchiks beholden only to lobbyists for the rich and powerful consolidate their power.
