This thread will detail some of the changes made to the site in the past year, as well as our plans for the future.

New i2p Address
As requested by several users, and in accordance with our general ethos of encouraging online anonymity, leftychan now has an i2p address which can be found here:
http://leftychmxz3wczbd4add4atspbqevzrtwf2sjobm3waqosy2dbua.b32.i2p or http://leftychan.i2p/

Moderation Changes
* New spam filter - Thanks to the hard work of our dev and admin Zer0-, leftychan now has an effective countermeasure against the automatic bot spam that plagues alt-chans. Dubbed as the 'spam noticer', the implementation of this system has led to a dramatic fall in malicious advertisement threads being posted to the site.
* New mods & dev - In order to better cover european and asian timezones, two more mods have been voted onto the team. These are sindikat, who has previous moderation experience, and jon, who is also acting as a dev and has made many valuable contributions in this capacity.
* Removal of Zul - In line with the rule that if a mod is inactive for over 15 weeks their status as a mod is called into question, Zul was voted off the mod team.

Hello /leftypol/, we noticed an under-appreciation for the theory that upholds our political ideologies: As such, we have decided to revive the reading sticky! This thread will be dedicated to the sharing, discussing, and general banter about various leftist thinkers, theories, and political outlooks.

But, other than that, we believe there are other important reads that must be addressed, especially, for beginners and those just now getting into leftism.

Don't forget to check out >>>/edu/ for more reading and discussion!

Handala hacker group claims deep penetration of Mossad and Shin Bet facilities as unprecedented footage surfaces of spy chiefs’ homes
——
The Iranian hacker group Handala has obtained and released aerial surveillance of sensitive Israeli sites, including what it describes as Mossad facilities, residences of air force pilots, and homes of senior intelligence officials. A public statement from the group claims the material was gathered over months through operations conducted with the assistance of local collaborators inside the occupied territories:

"The videos and images you are now seeing are aerial footage captured by Handala operatives of top-secret Mossad headquarters, the homes of Israeli Air Force pilots, residences of senior Iran Desk officials within Mossad, homes of Shin Bet counter-terrorism managers, as well as the travel routes and daily movements of senior Zionist security and military officials," the statement read.

According to Handala, the footage maps not only locations but also movement patterns and daily routes of senior military and security figures, presenting it as evidence of sustained intelligence access and operational reach. It frames the release as a glimpse into capabilities behind recent undisclosed actions, suggesting a broader campaign that has so far remained largely in the shadows.
Handala also used the moment to issue a direct appeal to residents facing economic hardship, urging them to make contact through encrypted channels and join its network.

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
(largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 70,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

Italian workers' unions launched a massive general strike in October over the shipping of weapons through Italian ports which are being used in Israel's genocide, and launched another strike in November.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Israel unilaterally broke the ceasefire. In October 2025, another ceasefire and prisoner exchange was agreed upon in Gaza, and Israel has proceeded to kill over 300 Palestinians in Gaza since agreeing. Israel has also refused to allow the agreed-upon amount of aid into Gaza.

Israel attacked Iran utilizing a large number of assets embedded in Iran, killing multiple scientists and high ranking Iranian military officials, as well as targeting schools, hospitals, oil assets, and a TV station. Around one thousand Iranians were killed in Israel's strikes on civilian targets like residential buildings. Iran retaliated with a series of waves of missile and drone attacks which hit multiple Israeli military targets including IDF HQ, Mossad HQ, as well as an Israeli oil field. After an Iranian strike on Unit 8200, the number of online Zionist apologists conspicuously reduced for a while. The Israeli government, embarrassed by the damage to Tel Aviv, heavily censored footage and reporting of Iranian strikes on Israel, resulting in the Israeli police arresting journalists and citizens for filming sites of impact, while rich Israelis fled by boat due to the closure of Ben-Gurion airport. Iran began a crackdown on Israeli terror cells, finding and closing multiple Mossad-linked covert drone factories, as well as reportedly arresting groups of Afghan nationals involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.

The US launched airstrikes against multiple Iranian nuclear energy sites, followed by Iran retaliating with a strike on a US airbase in Qatar. A ceasefire between Israel and Iran has been in place since shortly after this, with expectations being that Israel intends to recouperate and try again with more direct US invoPost too long.

❗️Palestinian children's rights group shuts down amid sustained Israeli pressure

Defense for Children International - Palestine (DCIP) announced it has ceased operations after 35 years of documenting violations against Palestinian children, citing Israel’s targeted criminalization and restrictions on human rights organizations. The Ramallah-based charity said the increasingly hostile environment made it impossible to continue its work protecting minors affected by military operations and detention practices.

Founded in 1991, DCIP has long been a critical source for international organizations, journalists, and legal advocates, reporting on cases of torture, abuse, and administrative detention of Palestinian children and minors. Rights defenders warn that its closure leaves a major gap in independent monitoring amid ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises.

The announcement comes as Israel escalates legal and political pressure on Palestinian NGOs, including last year’s order forcing 37 organizations to shut down for refusing to comply with new restrictions on staff disclosure, raising broader concerns about the future of independent human rights documentation.

🟢 Hamas:
—
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), value the popular movement and solidarity events with Palestinian prisoners in the "israeli" occupation prisons, in support of the legitimate rights of the prisoners, and in rejection and condemnation of the daily crimes and violations against them, the latest of which is the approval of the criminal law on the execution of prisoners.

We call upon the masses of our people and our nation, and the institutions supporting prisoners in the world, to intensify and strengthen all forms of popular movement and solidarity events.

Let the Palestinian Prisoner Day on April 17 be a national and global day to raise voices in support of Palestinian prisoners, to expose the crimes of the fascist occupation government against them, and to exert pressure by all means to overturn the criminal execution law.

Hungary’s longtime Prime Minister Viktor Orban has conceded defeat in the country’s parliamentary election after partial official results showed Peter Magyar’s Tisza party winning a landslide victory.

“Prime Minister Viktor Orban just called to congratulate us on our victory,” Magyar posted on social media Sunday, as his party stood at 52.49 percent and Orban’s Fidesz at 38.83 percent, with 53.45 percent of precincts counted.

From AJ yesterday:
The first cross-border strike inside Afghanistan since March came after a spate of attacks by the Pakistan Taliban.
Islamabad, Pakistan – The Pakistani military conducted air raids in neighbouring Afghanistan late on Tuesday night, targeting hideouts of the Pakistan Taliban, known by the acronym TTP, armed group in Paktika province, according to security officials.

While no official statement was issued by Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs or military media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), sources confirmed to Al Jazeera that the attacks took place in the Barmal district of Afghanistan, near Pakistan’s South Waziristan tribal district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The interim Afghan government, ruled by the Taliban, also confirmed the attacks but insisted that civilians had been targeted. The Taliban spokesperson’s office told Al Jazeera that at least 46 people, including women and children, were among those killed in air raids.

“The Pakistani side should understand that such arbitrary measures are not a solution to any problem,” Enayatullah Khowarazami, spokesperson for Afghanistan’s Defence Ministry, wrote on social media platform X. “The Islamic Emirate will not leave this cowardly act unanswered and considers the defense of its territory an inalienable right,” he added, referring to Afghanistan by the name given by the Taliban government.

The air raids, which were conducted for the second time this year, came just hours after Pakistan’s special representative for Afghanistan, Mohammad Sadi, met interim Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Kabul.

“Met Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi today. Held wide-ranging discussions. Agreed to work together to further strengthen bilateral cooperation and promote peace and progress in the region,” Sadiq posted on X.

Is this a serious question?
People loan eachother stuff without demanding interest all the time. You do it because someone asks for help and will pay you back in full. Socially, there are very obvious reasons to lend even without interest. Reducing or eliminating interest has also been a long-time goal of socialist and anarchist loan systems, it's not just a religious thing.

Where religion is concerned, though, there are several countries where it's illegal on religious grounds, including Iran.

Based Weeabooism.

Battle Royale director on experience as child during WW2: "I was working in a weapons factory that was a regular target for enemy bombing. During the raids, even though we were friends working together, the only thing we would be thinking of was self-preservation. We would try to get behind each other or beneath dead bodies to avoid the bombs. When the raid was over, we didn't really blame each other, but it made me understand about the limits of friendship. I also had to clean up all the dead bodies after the bombings. I'm sure those experiences have influenced the way I look at violence."

The Grayzone:

📍Six Palestine Action activists face a retrial after being acquitted in February following over a year in prison. If convicted, the six Palestine Action activists and 18 others will likely be sentenced as terrorists, facing long prison terms.

📍The jury has not been notified about the ‘terrorist’ designation, and the British media cannot report this information under a court order. Activists will also be prohibited from telling jurors how their efforts sought to impede the Gaza genocide.

📍The prosecution followed a meeting between government officials and counter-terror officers, where designating Palestine Action as terrorists was discussed. Those officials admitted the group’s activities were “mostly confined to criminal damage,” not terrorism.

📍By falsely alleging Palestine Action deliberately targeted people with violent acts, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper committed contempt of court – but a court order prohibits British media from reporting this. UK outlets are also barred from telling the public that Palestine Action’s lawyer, Rajiv Menon, faces contempt of court proceedings for reminding jurors of their rights.

📍Under normal circumstances, the defendants would face a maximum of four years if convicted, and serve less than half their sentences. Under the draconian terror designation — which jurors have not been notified of — the activists could spend as many as eight years in prison. Their release would have to be approved by a dedicated board for terror cases.

This explains why one of the newer action groups is named 'People Against Genocide'.

Good call. Creating a new page is very heavy friction, and having a frictionless suggestions feature allows discussion and indicates which pages there's priority interest in creating.

I wonder what the best ways are, without introducing unnecessary work or mess, or allowing vandalism.
The two ways which come to mind are:
1) On the search page, if you don't get any matches you like, press a button and it sends the request to the staff for us to process and add to a request page.
2) Have a regular wiki page for users to edit. That's a lot more friction but also more transparent.

Number 1 seems better.
