We don't need to rescue western civilization from outside forces, we need to rescue ourselves from western civilization. Reading by Tim Foley.

Israelis who say "the Arabs hate us because of our religion" are as self-evidently moronic as the Americans who said "they hate us for our freedom". In both cases the answer is no, dipshit, they hate you because of the horrific things to do to them. Reading by Tim Foley.

4. In what way would it benefit Iran to orchestrate antisemitic attacks in Australia? 5. In what way would it benefit Iran to "undermine social cohesion and sow discord" in Australia? 6. Please explain how orchestrating antisemitic attacks in Australia would advance Iranian interests more than the interests of some other state, like, say, just for example, Israel? Reading by Tim Foley.

They simply look at the actions of October 7 from the prism of their own experience as a comfortable western suburbanite on the other side of the world and think, “I would never conduct such an attack; I am much too virtuous and compassionate.” No you’re just too comfortable and coddled, and you’re too much of an emotional infant to consciously put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Reading by Tim...

The truth is that this is a propaganda narrative which has been debunked by some of the most pro-Israel, pro-establishment sources you can imagine. Reading by Tim Foley.

They claimed that Israel has a phenomenally low civilian-to-combatant casualty ratio, then Israel's own data proved that civilians comprise the vast majority of those killed by the IDF. They denied that Israel is starving Gaza, then the IPC came out with a report saying that Israel is starving Gaza. They tried to claim that the skeletal children we're seeing in Gaza looked that way because of pre-...

When a nation keeps having to publish denials that it is intentionally starving civilians, you can safely assume it's because that nation is intentionally starving civilians. If you saw someone on social media loudly denying the latest allegations that they are a child molester over and over again for two years, you probably wouldn't let them babysit your kids. Reading by Tim Foley.

The most important thing to make clear here is that anyone who suggests that Israel's onslaught in Gaza has anything whatsoever to do with hostages is either ignorant or lying. Reading by Tim Foley.

Zionism means exactly what we see before us today. Genocide. Ethnic cleansing. Apartheid. Nonstop violence and abuse. That's what Zionism means. And anti-Zionism means opposing these things. Reading by Tim Foley.

Things are so fucked up that the only way to get wounded Palestinian children in and out of the United States for medical treatment these days would be to disguise them as Israeli pedophiles. Reading by Tim Foley.

It's so revealing how Israelis keep begging Trump to end the killing in Gaza, because they understand that the US president has the power to force Israel to stop. It seems like Israelis understand this far better than Americans do. Reading by Tim Foley.

Do as much as you can to make the world a better place, and be content with your efforts regardless of whether or not they are successful. You’ll never be able to save the world single-handedly no matter what you can do; all you can do is make one person’s worth of effort. Make peace with that. Reading by Tim Foley.

The most culturally consequential fictional fantasy land ever authored is not Oz or Narnia or Middle Earth, but the liberal Zionist creation of Alternate Reality Israel. Reading by Tim Foley.

Probably goes without saying, but if Israel was on the side of truth and morality it would not have a military unit dedicated to manipulating the public narrative about actions which normal people would see as extremely evil. Reading by Tim Foley.

Stop platforming Israeli government officials and professional genocide apologists. Stop asking them what they think. Stop presenting their lies and manipulations as news stories. Stop asking them if they agree with their critics. Stop doing it. Stop. Reading by Tim Foley.

This isn't sad, it's enraging. And it deserves a response of unmitigated forceful aggression. Reading by Tim Foley.

During a speech in South Carolina, US Senator Lindsey Graham warned that God will "pull the plug" on Americans if they stop supporting Israel. Reading by Tim Foley.

The truth is that Palestinians will never be free as long as Israel exists as the hypermilitaristic racist settler-colonialist state that it is. Reading by Tim Foley.

Palestine is the moral issue of our time for the same reason if you saw someone in your family torturing another member of your family to death, it would be the most urgent matter happening in your life at that moment. You'd have other problems in your life, but that would come first. Reading by Tim Foley.

The IDF is of course claiming that al-Sharif was Hamas, because that's what they always do. They've been murdering a historically unprecedented number of journalists and defending their systematic effort to blind the world to their actions in Gaza by claiming that every journalist they kill is Hamas. The journalists are Hamas, the hospitals are Hamas, the UN is Hamas, the peace activists are Hamas...

Their goal is never to communicate or to have a conversation, it's to advance the information interests of a genocidal apartheid state. Reading by Tim Foley.

A note to future generations for historical record: Every pundit, politician and reporter of our time who claims they didn't know what was happening in Gaza is lying. They knew what was happening. They knew Israel was telling lies. They knew about everything. They had access to the same information as all the rest of us. We watched them make excuses and ignore indisputable facts every step of the...

This genocide is one nonstop insult to our intelligence. It's actually degrading at this point. The lies Israel and its supporters have to pretend to believe are getting so ridiculous that supporting Israel is now an act of public humiliation and self-debasement. Reading by Tim Foley.

It's not okay to be a grown adult with internet access in August 2025 and still believe that what we are seeing in Gaza is not a genocide. It's not okay to be a grown adult with internet access in August 2025 and still believe this mass atrocity is about self-defense. It's not okay to be a grown adult with internet access in August 2025 and still believe that people in Gaza are not being deliberat...
