From Yemen's march in Sanaa on Friday: With firm official and popular resolve to impose the equation of "siege in response to siege," and with readiness that will not hesitate to confront any comprehensive escalation by the Saudi enemy..

Million-strong rally of "Siege with Siege and Escalation with Escalation"

I feel like the coming oil shortage isn't talked about loudly enough. America just dropped a 2000lb bomb on an Iranian residential building. There's no way they're going to open up the strait before there's major reprecussions in the states.

Larry Johnson has been saying for over a month now that the United States has about 70% of its refineries only able to process sour crude oil. The question is going to be whether the US is able to replace the west Asia's sour crude with North American and Venezuelan sour crude enough to provide for all the demands for diesel and aviation fuel. I seem to remember hearing a while back that Venezuelan oil is also so heavy that the US doesn't even necessarily have the facilities to process it all properly (it was either a Chevron or ExxonMobile executive who said this when Maduro was kidnapped), so it's still an open question whether this play at taking over Venezuela's resources to prepare for a protracted siege on west Asian oil was a wise strategy or not.

>“We have an intelligence unit tasked with analyzing information, and it concluded that there is Ukrainian interference in Iraq,” al-Aboudi said in a televised interview broadcast on Monday evening.
>“We arrested a small number of groups that carried out strikes inside Iraqi territory and targeted several installations. During questioning, they admitted that they were working for Ukraine,” he added.

This is getting a little ridiculous.

I mean about Ukraine striking an Iranian ship.

Guys this is a massively retarded question but why does russia need boots on the ground in Ukraine putting their men in danger when they could be using missiles, airplanes, drones and other remote firepower? They've demonstrated that they have the capability to penetrate air defenses, so why not sit at home and bomb their positions, their supply chains, their installations and assets?

Also, how is foreign ammunition and hardware even getting into Ukraine? It's the same question, can't they see this stuff come in from a satellite? Couldn't they bomb it before it's unpacked?

Because no war has ever been won with bombardment. While Russia's stated goal has been to demolish the Ukrainian military and its NATO materiel, eventually they do need to send troops in to bring the final end to the Kiev government.

Beirut MP calls out Israeli settler movement in southern Lebanon
Melhem Khalaf, a Greek Orthodox member of parliament from Beirut, says the repeated entry of Israeli settlers into Lebanese territories occupied by the Israeli army is “not a mere border incident, but a direct assault on Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and a dangerous attempt to impose a new reality by force”.

In a statement reported by the country’s National News Agency, Khalaf said the fact that civilians are involved “does not change the nature of these actions” backed by the Israeli forces.

Khalaf condemned the “aggressive actions” and called on the UN and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to take immediate action to stop the settlers (anon's note: good luck with that), officially document the incidents, and report them to the UN Security Council.

July 20:
Renowned Lebanese journalist Hassan Illaik has been summoned to Lebanese courts over his posts critiquing Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's war and siege on Yemen.

￭ The Lebanese investigative journalism platform Al-Mahatta, which Illaik works with, reported that he "received a call from the Mount Lebanon Information Branch summoning him to the branch's investigation division, based on a referral from Appellate Public Prosecutor Judge Ahmad al-Hajj. According to what Illaik wrote, it emerged that the summons is linked to two posts in which he criticized Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the siege imposed on the northern governorates of Yemen."

￭ Illaik has previously faced repression from the Lebanese government over his critiques of President Joseph Aoun's capitulation to the US and the Israeli occupation.

Lebanese Journalist Forced Into Hiding After Mocking MBS
Prominent Lebanese journalist Hasan Illaik has gone into hiding after a tweet mocking Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and criticizing Saudi Arabia's blockade of Yemen prompted Lebanon's public prosecutor to issue a warrant for his arrest. As Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra discuss, this is about far more than press censorship: this is Beirut's drive to normalize relations with Israel, sacrificing Lebanon's sovereignty and silencing dissent along the way.

Illaik, who was targeted earlier this year for criticizing Beirut's capitulation to Tel Aviv, says the prosecutor pursuing the case against him is a Saudi-backed political appointee. Reporting from Beirut, Khalek explains how the selective enforcement of censorship law and the shrinking space for free speech are reshaping Lebanon's political landscape, and how growing US, Israeli, and Saudi influence is narrowing the boundaries of what the Lebanese people can and can’t say about their — or any other — government.

Courtney Bonneau - Israeli forces have been bombing south Lebanon all morning.

Last night, they conducted another massive civilian home and infrastructure detonation in the town of Haddatha. This is an act of genocide.

Genocide is defined under Article Il of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention as any act committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. One of the five acts is “deliberately imposing destructive life conditions.”

More than 65 towns and villages in Lebanon are still under Israeli occupation and are undergoing daily illegal civilian home and infrastructure demolition.

If you complain about women freely switching partners, why should it be okay for men?

Mutiny in Sde Teiman: Israeli soldiers clash with commander, abandon their base
Israeli media reported that Israeli soldiers have abandoned their base in Sde Teiman and headed home after clashing with the battalion commander.

Dozens of soldiers belonging to the Givati Brigade laid down their weapons and abandoned the base.

For the record, this is basically nothing. It's over a commander smashing Givati Brigade's "pugim" insignia/signs, and unrelated to the campaign of torture and rape carried out at the notorious Sde Teiman prison camp.

🔴 The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine mourned the great revolutionary internationalist fighter Kozo Okamoto (Ahmad Al-Yabani), one of the heroes of the legendary "Al-Lydd" airport operation, who passed away on Thursday, 23/07/2026, in Beirut at the age of 78 following a life of struggle alongside the Palestinian cause. Born in Japan in 1947, Okamoto mastered multiple languages and joined the Japanese Red Army, carrying out the 30/05/1972 "Al-Lydd" airport operation in coordination with the PFLP, which shook the "israeli" entity. He subsequently endured thirteen years in occupation prisons, mostly in solitary confinement, before his release in the 1985 prisoner exchange deal and eventual political asylum in Lebanon in 2000.

The PFLP emphasized that Okamoto was a genuine member of the revolutionary Palestinian body and a symbol of true internationalism who remained steadfast until his last breath, pledging to continue the struggle until the liberation of all Palestine from the river to the sea with Al-Quds as its capital.

Deir Yassin: A brutal massacre carried out by zionist death squads in 1948 indelibly etched into the collective consciousness of all Palestinians, carried out on April 9th, 1948.
Deir Yassin is why we resist—to reclaim our stolen village and avenge the blood of our martyrs. Throughout the storied history of Palestinian resistance, heroes vowed revenge in the name of Deir Yassin: resistance fighters killed 77 zionists in an operation four days after the 1948 massacre, the Deir Yassin Unit of Arab resistance fighters carried out an operation that killed 40 settlers under the command of martyr Dalal Al-Mughrabi in 1978, and the Deir Yassin Operation of 1972 was an internationalist feat of anti-imperialist resistance that shook the world.

The Deir Yassin Operation was launched on May 30th 1972. Three Japanese comrades—Bassem, Salah, and Ahmed—joined forces with five Palestinian comrades to strike the zionist entity at its heart. Their real names were Tsuyoshi Okudaira, Yasuke Yasuda, and Kozo Okamoto, and they were members of the Japanese Red Army, which received weapons, training, and finances from the PFLP. They had trained in Lebanon, and all were students: Bassem of architecture, Salah of electrical engineering, Ahmed of botany, and all of revolution.

Their location of choice was the so-called "Lod Airport" (now "Ben-Gurion Airport") in occupied Al-Lydd. Known as quiet men, they quietly arrived from Paris at 10 PM, waited for their luggage—violin cases loaded with weapons, ammunition, and explosives—and carried out their revolutionary duty. By the time they were done with their operation, 26 zionists were left dead on the ground and 80 were wounded. Five Palestinian comrades fired outside the airport in support. Bassem was martyred after he ran out of ammunition, Salah blew himself up in a revolutionary act, and Ahmed (Kozo) went on to become a revolutionary icon after spending 13 years in solitary confinement in the zionist prisons.

In interrogation, Kozo declared that the operation was part of the global revolution against zionism and imperialism. He and the masterful tactician Dr. Wadie Haddad had planned it. In the attached video, PFLP founder Bassam Abu Sharif claims the operation on behalf of the PFLP, stating that it is a continuation of the PFLP's line of "attacking the enemy whPost too long.

AryJeay - Hamas, in a statement, says it is willing to discuss heavy weapons only after:

• Israel fully ends the war
• withdraws from Gaza
• completes the 1st ceasefire phase
• allows reconstruction and international protection forces
• dismantles Israel-backed militias
• guarantees Palestinian self-determination and statehood.

‘Heinous crime’: Gaza’s Health Ministry denounces Israeli attack on hospital’s warehouses
Gaza’s Health Ministry has condemned what it calls a “heinous crime” by Israeli forces in Deir el-Balah, saying the attack early this morning targeted “medicine warehouses” belonging to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, completely destroying two of them.

“The destructive force of the missiles used resulted in the complete destruction of two out of four warehouses at the targeted site, in addition to causing severe and extensive damage to two other warehouses,” said the ministry.

It said the attack also damaged the hospital’s outpatient clinic facility and caused the loss of “vital quantities of medical supplies and consumables”.

The ministry urged the international community, UN agencies, and rights groups “to intervene immediately and urgently to halt these attacks and provide immediate protection for medical institutions and personnel”.

A Federal Court Has Granted Discovery In Journalist Max Blumenthal’s Lawsuit Against The Head Of The DHS

The federal court found that Blumentha’s Fourth Amendment rights were violated through the Department of Homeland Security’s seizure of his electronic devices.

Upon landing at Dulles International AirPort, the The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal was detained, following pressure from Zionist influencers who were angered that he attended Ayatollah Khamenei’s Funeral in Iran. The funeral was the largest in recorded human history.

The seizure of Blumenthal’s electronic devices has been widely condemned as an attack on freedom of the press & free speech.

>Has the US become more powerful in spite of its defeat by Iran?
I think a couple things are going on. First, the US (and its "greatest ally") is scrambling to apply as much pressure as possible and expand its power and grip. It's doing this because it, firstly, wants to continue the war with Iran with even less opposition from other countries' leaders than it already has, and, secondly, hopes to destroy China after that if it can manage to do so. It knows that doing these things is not so easy, and it wants as much support, even from the appearance of UN consent, as it can get. The US wants to either dominate the UN even more completely, even on a level of what is allowed to be said by UN staff, than it already does, or just dismantle it entirely (which is what the "Board of Peace" is for) because it's still somehow not enough of a US dictatorship as they want it to be. It also wants to show that it can still bully countries, because this can be used to intimidate those who are not yet fully bullied by giving a suggestion of greater power than the US necessarily has. This kind of power reflects real leverage, but its expression is also somewhat illusory; most countries don't lobby this hard to fuck with UNGA votes to begin with, and if China wanted to do something like this, they probably could, but they generally don't.

Secondly, I think it's premature to dismiss that the US's power may have increased; for the time being, the US has more-or-less successfully subjugated all of Latin America except for Cuba and Nicaragua. Bolivia is fighting it, but their government, obviously, is now yankee occupied. Canada, once a long-time trading partner of Cuba, has fully caved to US pressure and backed away from doing so, effectively becoming a partner in the criminal economic war against Cuba. These are all conditions which demand steadfast material opposition, and I think that this has to be understood very well by people who are opposed to the crimes of the American state. While it may be true that the US government is behaving erratically and grasping at anything it can grab out of paranoia about the unipolar world dictatorship being overturned, it does this because this can help facilitate its goals - it's not enough to just say "oh, they're scared because the empire is collapsing" and call it a day.

Tere Felipe (Cuba) - erhaps it’s irresponsible to write this. But it’s an idea that’s been swirling around in my mind for a while; I’ve even discussed it with my family on several occasions. If Venezuela had stood up to the United States, maybe the world would be living a very different story from the one we’re living today.

Perhaps, if Venezuela had resisted without hesitation, the conflict between Iran and the United States wouldn’t have erupted afterward. I’m one of those who believes that when a nation stands firm, no matter how small or vulnerable it may seem in the face of power, it forces the empire to measure its steps before lunging at an adversary that could end up costing it far more. Maybe that missile would never have fallen on an Iranian school. Maybe the United States wouldn’t be genocidally strangling my people today, nor would we be witnessing this new McCarthyism, this rehashed witch hunt, this systematic persecution against those who simply inconvenience the Empire.

What happened on that third of January set a precedent that Washington knew how to capitalize on, because it was allowed to, because it felt the impunity of acting without consequences. And it acted. If Venezuela had resisted, it’s likely we would have lost our heroes too, but it wouldn’t have been in vain, as I fear it was.

And now, seeing these images, I can’t contain a deep contempt. I don’t want the world to end up feeling for my country the same thing I feel today when I look at them. I don’t want us to be remembered as the people who surrendered without a fight.

That’s why we must win. We must fight. There’s no other option possible. So we never have to carry the humiliation of having been cowards.
