The Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces are trying to crush the resistance in Jenin Refugee Camp.
Instead of protecting its people, the PA is using US and EU funds to enforce the Israeli occupation. 🧵

For the past three weeks, PA security forces have been clashing with resistance fighters in Jenin Refugee Camp while Israeli forces carry out similar operations across the West Bank.

The operation in Jenin involved several PA fighters using Jordanian-made armored vehicles, which were supplied in 2023 as part of a US plan to strengthen the capabilities of the forces confronting the Palestinian resistance groups in Jenin and Nablus.

134 years ago today, the US military massacred around 300 Native American men, women, and children in the Wounded Knee Massacre. By the time the shooting stopped a few hours later, there were bodies strewn everywhere, including those of babies and women. Read on. 🧵

On December 28, 1890, the US Cavalry’s 7th Regiment forced approximately 300 members of the Lakota Sioux to set up camp near Wounded Knee Creek in Dakota Territory. Their intent was to disarm the group and arrest Chief Big Foot, who was gravely ill at the time.

The following day, as most of the Lakota had surrendered their weapons, a tense disagreement escalated into a horrific massacre. US forces opened fire, killing as many as 300 Lakota men, women, and children.

Mao was born on December 26, 1893, to a peasant family in Hunan Province and later became a teacher. He was strongly influenced by the Xinhai Revolution of 1911, which overthrew the emperor, and by the May Fourth Movement against the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. 🧵

Mao moved to Beijing, where he became a library assistant at Peking University. Already influenced by anti-imperialism and Chinese nationalism, he became a Marxist during this period. He attended the founding of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in July 1921.

Mao was elected to the party committee in 1923 and moved to Shanghai. In 1927, Kuomintang (KMT) forces slaughtered communists in the Shanghai massacre. This massacre was one of many that led to a civil war between the Communists and Nationalists.

Al Jazeera is a key soft power tool for Qatar and U.S. imperialism, playing a crucial role in advancing their foreign and regional policies in the Middle East. The network shapes narratives internationally, aligning them with U.S.-led Western interests in the region. Read on. 🧵

The Al-Jazeera (AJ) Media Network, funded by the Qatari government, is a key tool of soft power for Qatar’s foreign policy. The ruling al-Thani family has invested billions in reshaping Qatar’s reputation from being a pro-US emirate hosting the largest US military base in the Middle East—used in attacks on Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Afghanistan—to a reliable source of news that challenges official narratives.

AJ has avoided covering Qatar’s rulers with the same scrutiny it applies to other governments. It promoted Qatar’s role as a diplomatic mediator in regional conflicts while downplaying US influence and control, as seen in Doha’s decision to expel Hamas leadership and the US request for the Qatari PM to moderate AJ’s rhetoric on Gaza.

Happy Birthday to socialist revolutionary Thomas Sankara! Read on to find out what he accomplished and how a coup, with suspected US and French connections, devastated the country he shaped. 🧵

At just 33 years old, Thomas Sankara rose to the presidency of Burkina Faso with a daring coup. His leadership was cut short after only four years with an assassination believed to have been backed by the US and France. Despite this abrupt end, Sankara’s time in office brought radical change.

Sankara launched a nationwide literacy campaign, driving the literacy rate from 13% in 1983 to 73% by 1987. He also redistributed land from feudal landlords, giving it to the peasants. His revolution extended into public health, where 2.5 million children were vaccinated against meningitis, yellow fever, and measles.
