Leo is kind of continuing the restoration of The Church's image that Francis started.

During the Gazan Genocide, he was pretty outspoken in terms of asking for peace, I believe even saying that Netanyahu should be investigated for crimes against humanity. There are photos of him praying outside security checkpoints in the West Bank. He also directed Vatican Intelligence (called "The Entity" and may or may not officially exist) to work towards thawing relations between the U.S. and Cuba and push for peace negotiations between FARC and Colombia IIRC.

Thing is, most of Francis' tenure came after the controversial reign of Pope Benedict XVI, who was hard right (I believe he earned the nickname "God's Mastiff") and so people were already more wary of The Church at that time. He also reigned during a comparatively less insane time in geopolitics.

Leo is taking over in the midst of pretty much unrestrained Trumpian psychosis. The chaos Trump brings to both domestic politics and international relations is way harder to ignore. And if you look at the "leaders" to be found in Europe, most give the impression of kind of tacit silence even as Trump's policies directly fuck them and the world at large over. At least in the Biden and Obama years there was a fig leaf of norms and liberal morals. Trump is mask off fascism. He'll say shit like "We're going to kill every Iranian and take their oil" and Europeans who'd spent years by now frothing at the mouth about "Russia's unjustified invasion of Ukraine" were mum, or they'd make mealy mouthed expressions of "concern", and with tears in their eyes they'd ruthlessly purge anyone from their parties that think what Israel is doing constitutes a Genocide.

Against that backdrop, The Catholic Church is arguably one of the only major institutions in the Western World to say "No no no, hold on, this is morally bankrupt and wrong. Stop it." Like liberals and SocDems often give a performance about caring about rights and freedom and shit, but most of them retreated to vague exclamations that the situation in Gaza is "complex" and how we can spend years talking about it and never get anywhere so let's just all be quietPost too long.

>even if they aren’t perfect we should still support them against repressive governments
I'd do so, when they nuance the origins of the contradictions in their states. As for now, the US is the main source of contradictions around the world. every other bourgeoisie government that is not part of the us empire has contradictions largely caused by the US. those communist parties want to solve those contradiction with class war? put the internal contradiction into context.

but they barely, if anything, do so. so in essence they exercise anti-dialectical-materialism, ergo, anti-communism.
I can put specific corruption cases, that resonates around these countries, where communists can be seen more like regime-change operatives but from the left, until the mask fells-off:
a communist party criticizes X bourgeoise government that has some nationalistic elements, the latter seeking for autonomous-sovereignty from the US neoliberal-imposed world-view (example: first thing al-ziolani does in Syria: privatize state-owned strategic industries). the critics comes, for example, from some corruption scheme. a corrupt individual takes a bunch of money, flees to Europe and the US, where he can't be touched. culprit for these communists: the state. real culprit? the brainwashing of the individuals that commit state treason and seek for eu/us capital hoarding, and capitalism dominance, cultural alienation and even their own (communist party) fault for not engaging more proactively with their own population.

I can tell you 100% that this case, though I stated 'it's specific' it repeats so much, it becomes a pattern, and basically defines what these communist parties have been doing, and frequently becomes the source of my rejection.

Donald Trump Has Given Iran a New Deadline, Again
In times of war, leaders tend to look towards the future’s history books as they compose their letters and speeches. Regret and stoicism; conviction and sorrow; grit and greatness: these are the themes that presidents and princes strive to capture with pithy eloquence as they prepare their populations for sacrifice. So too with Donald Trump on Easter Sunday. “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell,” he picked from the drafts, “JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” The inspirational coffee mugs produce themselves. Dubbing this coming Tuesday “Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one”, it’s far from the first time that Trump has threatened war crimes against Iran’s civilian infrastructure (and he’s already done more than a few too). On 21 March, Tehran was given 48 hours to allow ships through the Strait of Hormuz. By 23 March, it was five days. On the 26th, it became ten. On the 30th, it was ‘immediately’, which was rolled back to 48 hours this Saturday, then 48 hours again on Sunday. Trump may have promised to bomb Iran ‘back to the stone ages’ last week, but when it comes to statecraft, it appears Washington is already there. Because, as any child will tell you, the parental leap from “I really mean it” to “I really, really mean it this time” isn’t upwards, but downwards when it comes to authority.

Why the doctors’ strike matters to all trade unionists
THE six-day strike by resident doctors in England, due to start after the Easter bank holiday weekend, raises issues that concern the whole labour movement. Doctors’ disputes are sometimes viewed at arm’s length by other trade unionists. The British Medical Association (BMA) remains outside the TUC. Doctors, unlike most NHS workers, are not part of Agenda for Change bargaining structures, which can reduce solidarity across the healthcare workforce, and their wages are relatively higher. Nor does every strike slogan — the threats to move to New Zealand for higher pay that featured on some junior doctors’ picket line placards last year, for instance — encourage sympathy from workers on lower pay with no such options.

And here we arrive at the confusion of critical theory. The reification of ideology. Let's pull up "vulgar" Karl Marx for reference, to set the record straight (bolded emphasis is mine):

The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, Chapter 1
>Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living. And just as they seem to be occupied with revolutionizing themselves and things, creating something that did not exist before, precisely in such epochs of revolutionary crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service, borrowing from them names, battle slogans, and costumes in order to present this new scene in world history in time-honored disguise and borrowed language. Thus Luther put on the mask of the Apostle Paul, the Revolution of 1789-1814 draped itself alternately in the guise of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, and the Revolution of 1848 knew nothing better to do than to parody, now 1789, now the revolutionary tradition of 1793-95.
[…]
>When we think about this conjuring up of the dead of world history, a salient difference reveals itself. Camille Desmoulins, Danton, Robespierre, St. Just, Napoleon, the heroes as well as the parties and the masses of the old French Revolution, performed the task of their time – that of unchaining and establishing modern bourgeois society – in Roman costumes and with Roman phrases.

>But unheroic though bourgeois society is, it nevertheless needed heroism, sacrifice, terror, civil war, and national wars to bring it into being.

It's really simple, it's not about stopping anything, it's about engaging in an incessant jihad against the imperialist bourgeois state. Activism is not "struggle". If the state attempts to violently thwart what you're doing, that means it's working. If your pathetic leftist organizations are planning logistics with the state, it's not a contribution of struggle, but the negation of said struggle. Overall it's not simply about stopping what goes on in Palestine, but fanning the flames of the incessant jihad. The Leftists in the USA just want to vote, not become an enemy of the bourgeois, so most them are bent on making sure this never happens, and they need to be removed, physically if need be. Violence and force is the language of political power. Have any of you ever read Mao? Marx is useless if you're not going to read the red book or the coming insurrection. If you're going to have parades for Palestine, you'd be better off just sitting home and fucking your waifu pillows. Any actual anti-imperialist demonstration looks like a low-scale war, not a parade. The American left actively attempts to de-mask agitators, and they should be confronted, they are zionist operatives. It's like people forgot historically, anarchists and maoists come for the heads of social democrats too, why, because they need to. Don't believe me go read up on the years of lead italy. Also go look at palestine's early liberation movement, before they could expand their struggle they targeted and removed non-militant Palestinian voices who stood for compromise with the colonial state. They hit more Palestinian collaborators than they did Israelis. Food for thought.

I've watched members of the CPUSA dive onto an American flag to smother the flame with their own bodies. Then I watched those same CPUSA members along with the whole alphabet soup of socialist federal‑agent orgs start violently pushing back Maoists and Anarchists, screaming, "NONVIOLENT! YOU'LL ISOLATE THE WORKERS! DON'T TOUCH THE FLAG, YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!". Be real brother, the Amerikkkan left would be the first to extinguish the flames and remove the barricades the moment things got serious for Palestine. They'd be shouting, "AGITATORS RIGHT HERE, OFFICER!" In fact, that's exactly how it's played out over the years. People occupied schools, bolted doors shut, masked up, clashed and then the Leftist NGOs showed up to kick the Anarchists and Maoists out and do the feds' counter‑insurgency for them. And you watched the Palestine movement get reduced to another DSA platform as a result, another anti-imperialist struggle that was reduced to bourgeoisie avenues of criticism and protest. This is what these people do. Pretty soon they'll be campaigning for Gavin's presidency, calling us wreckers and unrealistic for critiquing this.

>IDF diverts forces from Lebanon invasion to W. Bank to control Jewish violence against Palestinians
This is the first time that in the middle of a critical invasion - in this case against Hezbollah in Lebanon - IDF soldiers were diverted to what is viewed as a less dangerous front.

In a stunning move mid-war, the IDF on Monday announced that it is diverting forces from the invasion of Lebanon to the West Bank to rein in Jewish violence against Palestinians in recent weeks.

In the past, there were times when the critical northern and southern fronts were quiet, and more soldiers were sent to Judea and Samaria to bring Palestinian terror under control.

However, this is the first time during a critical invasion – in this case, against Hezbollah in Lebanon – that IDF soldiers were diverted to what is viewed as a less dangerous front in the West Bank. This is because Jewish violence against Palestinians has hit such large volumes that IDF Central Command Chief Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth did not believe he had sufficient forces to restore order.

According to IDF sources, the decision required special approval from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

To obtain approval, multiple IDF commanders based in Judea and Samaria pleaded with Netanyahu to grant them more manpower to handle the large-scale problem.

>Martin Luther probably didn't think that by denouncing the Catholic Church for selling indulgences that he'd be inviting an endless horde of prosperity gospel scammers to sell fake bibles with Trump's face on them. Or maybe he did, idunno.

There's a kind of irony in Martin Luther's life where after he formalized a schism with the Catholic Church, after he declared that Scripture Alone should be the basis of Christian faith, you have all of these different Protestant Sects spring up precisely because of the interpretations they developed reading Scripture, and Luther's response was broadly "No, wait, you're wrong!" He naively thought, to some degree, that if everyone just read the Bible they'd come to the same conclusions as Martin Luther.

While Luther broke what was at the time the ultimate taboo of denying the Catholic Church's spiritual authority, he himself was horrified by groups that came after like the Anabaptists. Denying the authority of the Papacy was one thing, but he still felt an affinity for infant Baptism deep in his soul, and even if the Baptists justified themselves with his own arguments, he couldn't accept their conclusions.

It's like how when the French Revolution started, you actually had crowds in Paris greet King Louis as "The King of a Free People", even though they were directly rebelling against his authority. After that first step, the door was opened to cutting aristocrats heads off.

So from what I've been told of the traditional story, when the Prophet Muhammad was dying he was asked who should inherit the mantle of leadership of the community. According to Shia traditions he declared his son-in-law Ali to be his heir but the Ummah (Muslim Community) waited until after he died and held a vote on who their leader should be, settling on the Caliph Abu-Bakr, who was Muhammad's father-in-law and closest friend.

Again, speaking as a Catholic, it reminds me of how the Catholic Church holds that whoever is given the Bishopric of Rome is the heir of St. Peter and given authority over the wider Church, whereas the Protestants hold that Peter's authority is not inherited and, in some traditions, was never even located in Rome in the First PlaPost too long.

Reuters: Washington presses for Syria's role against Hezbollah
The United States has encouraged the Syrian interim government to send troops to eastern Lebanon to help disarm Hezbollah, informed sources told Reuters. But Damascus remains hesitant, fearing it could drag it into a regional conflict and exacerbate sectarian tensions.
According to sources, this proposal was first made last year in talks between American and Syrian officials, but was reiterated as tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran increased.
Sources said that the interim government, although carefully considering this option, is inclined to avoid any direct military intervention inside Lebanese territory. This risk increases the possibility of Iranian attacks, and internal influences that could lead to instability, especially in predominantly Shiite areas.
A senior Syrian official said that Damascus, in coordination with its Arab allies, prefers to stay out of the conflict and limit itself to defensive measures. The official explained that the military forces sent to the border with Lebanon a few weeks ago are aimed at maintaining internal security and border control.
On the other hand, Lebanon stated that there are no indications of a Syrian intervention plan and added that coordination with Damascus is limited only to border security issues and conflict prevention.
Although no final decision has been made, sources indicated that, if a direct war breaks out between the Lebanese state and Hezbollah, the option of intervention remains on the table.

The interim government blamed its own members, militants and ISIS for the Sweida massacres.
The National Committee of Inquiry into the Suwayda Incidents, which was convened last July, blamed members of government forces, irregular armed groups, and ISIS gangs for the massacres in the province that resulted in the deaths of more than 1,700 people, including nearly 300 executions..

In a press conference today, the committee alleged that some members of government forces, irregular armed groups, ISIS gangs, and civilians participated in the Sweida massacres and stated that it has compiled a list of their names to present to the Attorney General..

The interim government's Minister of Justice also announced that the committee's final report had been received and that his ministry would immediately take the necessary legal measures..Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>but what exactly do you expect them to do, get into shootouts with the police?

How exactly do you arrive at that from the situations I described? If your organizations don't have the ability to spread or support the building of the skills and tactics that keep people safe from police violence, and surveillance, then your organization has no business organizing, or maintaining a dominating presence at any events.

For starts, every organization needs to shun anyone that engages in anything like this,

>> I've seen members of the PSL, CPUSA, every organization in the alphabet, accuse people of being anarchists for throwing tear gas canisters back or putting up barricades to avoid police charging in

>>Given their lack of firearms training and tactical experience

This is what happens when you have Marxists in 2011 who got squeamish at anarchists even suggesting hey, mask up, police surveillance is real, and even if you are not guilty they will use your presence to potentially incriminate you. How do we expect them to have developed tactics and lifestyles they denounce and disassociate from? This is my exact point. The left in USA have no tactical knowledge at all, because they refuse to learn and exclaim "anarchist" or "infiltrator!" anytime they come across those who are skilled and knowledgeable in such fields. My entire point is all Marxists in the USA need to agree with American anarchist tactics, because in reality, they aren't tactics that simply belong to anarchists. That's only the case in the USA, and this is only true because the American left have very liberal praxis. Anywhere else Marxists do not believe in compliance as the police to beat them over the heads. The reality is, many Marxists have this idea that these tactics are off-putting for "real working-class Americans" which is down-right false. These tactics steadily growing over the years is why leftist ideas have grown. It's not like some party suddenly pushed these ideas, no, it was organizing, and agitators closely associated with these types of tacticians that brought these things about. Does the CIA, when trying to undermine power in another nation, build a non-disruptive, passive movement? I think when it comes to tactics, and praxis, MPost too long.

>>Translated to normal speech - cliques should dominate organizations with no accountability. This is the reality that has been seen and critiqued ad nauseam in anarchist spaces already.

This is the reality that has been seen and critiqued ad nauseam in every single leftist space. If you've been around, and in a lot of organizations of varying degrees you would know cliques forming is a constant challenge, the committee is often a mask word for clique in the way some of them actually function.

The theory of distributed vanguard does not sit as proposed political structure or a new form of state power, nor a informal hierarchy of cliques, with alternative government waiting to be instituted. This misreads entirely. The framework describes organizational intelligence already emerging in practice from material conditions, not blueprint for future socialist state institution. It is analysis of how coordination already functions in successful decentralized movements, systematized for learning and replication, not call for new political form to be established with this said model.

Lets head to Post-1969 Republican movement; after security failures there was no centralized command between Belfast, Derry, South Armagh, yet certain nodes set tone through demonstrated success; Belfast's military operations, Derry's civil resistance, South Armagh's territorial control - all things that also lead a mass network of varying republican groups and individuals who were engaged in acts. Leadership outside of the top, or political wing was not elected or appointed but emerged from practice alone. Which node delivered results, which developed effective tactics, which maintained security under pressure. Other nodes adapted, adopted, or ignored based on their own assessment and conditions. This is not militant democracy or hierarchy in formal sense but distributed recognition; leadership as influence rather than command, as temporary pattern rather than stable position. You see "cliques" and recoils because your imaginary remains trapped in liberal categories; accountability requires visibility, legitimacy requires procedure, coordination requires hierarchy or its absence.

They will speak of our “resilience.”
They will praise our “vital role in the economy.”
They will hand microphones to a few so-called “successful” women and
They will distribute branded T-shirts, buckets, and packets of hybrid seeds.
But we say: No!

Nesrin Abdullah: The Kurdish people have decided to resist in Kobani.
Nesrin Abdullah, commander of the Women's Defense Units (YPJ), held a press conference via Zoom with international press and journalists to assess the latest situation in Kobani. Participating from Kobani, Nesrin Abdullah evaluated the increasing attacks in Kobani and Rojava, the severity of the humanitarian situation, and the risks of potential new interventions.

Nesrin Abdullah, referring to the difficult period the people of Rojava and Kobani are going through, said:
“I am in Kobani. Everyone knows, we are going through a difficult period. Rojava and the Kurdish people are going through a very difficult time. A difficult period is being experienced throughout Syria. These attacks are not only directed at the Kurdish people, but also at the dreams of democracy, justice, and freedom of all the people of Syria. Now we are facing an even more serious situation. A very difficult period is being experienced in Rojava, Cizîr, and Kobani. Afrin and Serêkaniyê are already under Turkish occupation, and the situation there is even worse. In this process, as the Kurdish people, we are under political, military, and moral attacks. These attacks have deeply affected the hope for a common life in Syria. The struggle we have been waging since 2011 has been for a dignified life in Syria where everyone can live, where democracy is established, and where all differences coexist peacefully with their identities, beliefs, and histories. A dirty political game is being played. Our friends are defending our people in every field.”

<A HUMANITARIAN DISASTER COULD OCCUR IN KOBANÊ.
Nesrin Abdullah, reporting that attacks have intensified via Kobanê, said:
“Kobanê is a small geographical area. Geographically, it is isolated from Cizîr. That's why they are attacking it, basing their calculations on this. This city, which is not receiving support, is seen as an opportunity by the enemy and has become a target for attacks. The front is currently in Sirrîn, and the clashes are very intense. The distance between Sirrîn and Kobanê is 30 kilometers. There are many villages along this line. The people, fearing a massacre, have abandoned their villages and taken refuge in the center of Kobanê. This influx will lead to serious humanitarian problems.”

is douglas murray a israeli asset?
YES

>The truth that Douglas Murray doesn’t want you to know is that he is directly an Israeli asset.

>This isn’t journalism; we’re talking about people who claim to be independent critical thinkers offering their services as assets of a foreign power. So much so that he received an award from the Israeli president for services in propaganda to Israel during the genocide in Gaza. Douglas Murray was gushing with pride when he said it brings him great joy to align with Israel.

>While Murray has recently become more vociferous in his support for the genocidal Israel, his relationship is far from new. Over a decade ago, in 2014, at the time of a genocidal onslaught against Gaza, Douglas Murray rallied around to provide his services to Israel.

>In a leak of emails from Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations at the time, Ron Prozner, it has been revealed that Douglas Murray was drafting speeches for this Israeli government figure. In the email, Douglas Murray wrote to Ron Prozner, “Dear Ron, very good to speak earlier. I am pasting in here my first draft ideas. It’s probably slightly long and I’ve put in some more diplomatic things than needed, but I think I’ve got all the points discussed. The title of the email was draft and it included a speech for Ron Prosner to deliver at the United…”
Nations are defending Israel and its activities in Gaza. In his speech, Douglas Murray even used the following phrasing: “We Israelis have learned to live with the realities around us.
We know who we are. Does Douglas Murray, the alleged British patriot, know who he is? He’s an asset of a foreign power.”

>There are more sickening emails sent from Douglas Murray to Israel’s ambassador at the UN. In these emails, he praises Prosna’s work and goes to great lengths to prove his loyalty to Israel. He boasts about his involvement in a fundraising campaign for Israeli military occupation forces with an organisation previously exposed here at Doubledown News, the Association for the Well-being of Israel Soldiers. This charity actively aids Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza by supporting Israeli soldiers.

Boss of degrading sex-trade ring in Dubai's glamour districts unmasked by BBC

Charles Mwesigwa, who says he is a former London bus driver, told our undercover reporter he could provide women for a sex party at a starting price of $1,000 (£740), adding that many can do "pretty much everything" clients want them to.

Rumours of wild sex parties in the UAE emirate have circulated for years. The hashtag #Dubaiportapotty, which has been viewed more than 450 million times on TikTok, links to parodies and speculative exposés of women accused of being money-hungry influencers secretly funding their lifestyles by fulfilling the most excessive of sexual requests.

Our BBC World Service investigation was told the reality is even darker.

Young Ugandan women told us they had not expected to have to undertake sex work for Mr Mwesigwa. In some cases, they believed they were travelling to the UAE to work in places like supermarkets or hotels.

At least one of Mr Mwesigwa's clients regularly asks to defecate on the women, according to "Mia", whose name we have changed to protect her identity, and who says she was trapped by Mr Mwesigwa's network.

We have also discovered that two women linked to Mr Mwesigwa have died, having fallen from high-rise apartments. Although their deaths were ruled as suicides, their friends and family feel the police should have investigated further.

The short answer is that it's too soon to say.

The long answer is that the powers which subjugate Palestine and commit genocide there, and which subjugate Lebanon, Syria, Libya, and Iraq for the sake of uninterrupted genocide… also run the U.S., U.K., and EU. People in these places will find that allowing things to continue this way is not in their interests - "Israel" is a testing ground for, and global backer of, tyrannical state repression, destructive psyops, surveillance, and all kinds of nasty things like that… in addition to being a massive recipient of free stuff, an especially heinous situation for the U.S. which lacks public healthcare, welfare, & higher education. Trying to formulate what is going on as a distant spectacle is the wrong approach, because what we've witnessed is a result of global ethnosupremacist hegemony, and its impacts are felt even in the "first world."

In America, ICE abducts students off the street for "wrong think" about Palestine, the government intervenes to give TikTok to Larry Ellison, states suppress boycotts and education about Palestine, students are defamed and mass-arrested for opposing genocide. This is the tip of the iceberg in the U.S.
In the UK, grannies with signs are arrested for ""terrorism"" for holding placards saying they oppose genocide and support a group which periodically spraypaints weapons of war with discouraging messages. In Germany, protesters are battered by police, and large numbers of Jews are arrested, and have their assets seized by the German state for "anti-semitism" because they criticized the Zionist Entity.

If this is where it ends, then it isn't the fault of Yahya Sinwar. It's our fault for not intervening effectively to stop this tyranny even to save ourselves. By all means, this should be a tenuous situation - if we allow it to continue, then that is our failing. We are in an era of mask off Fascism (or "neoliberalism" or Zionist Imperialism or whatever you want to call it), and it necessitates things which are not easy or pleasant in response. There is little evidence that things will not continue to intensify again in western Asia, and the liberation of the "west" will be of great benefit to the middle east.

Hamas says it moves living Israeli captives to 3 handover locations
A Hamas source tells Al Jazeera the Palestinian group has moved the captives to locations in Gaza in preparation for their handovers.

The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a Hamas delegation will meet the International Committee of the Red Cross tonight to agree on a mechanism for handing over the abductees, adding that the process will be carried out at three locations.

Hamas is in intensive contact with the mediating countries to refine the list of Palestinian prisoners to be released. Mediators are still working to reach a final prisoner list despite Israel’s rejection of several names, the source said.

Israeli media commented on the spread of Hamas elements in the Gaza Strip: The movement has survived as an organization and authority.
Israeli figures and media outlets confirmed the failure of the war on the Gaza Strip, noting that Hamas has held firm as an authority and organization.

Avi Issacharoff, an expert on Palestinian affairs at the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, told Israel's Channel 12 that "the number one goal set by the Israeli government two years ago, namely the overthrow of Hamas, has not been achieved." He added that "Hamas has held on as the authority in Gaza."

Issacharoff added that under the ceasefire, "Hamas militants are in the streets, deployed with their weapons, covering their faces with masks to prevent identification, wearing body armor, and demonstrating effective governance." "Hamas as an authority has held its own, and this is the reality we live in today," Issacharoff said.

In the same context, Israeli journalist and author Haim Levinson said: "Hamas has endured as an organization, and this is a proven fact. The organization remained organized from the ground up, with disciplined soldiers, and it did not collapse over two difficult years ."

Reserve Major General Yitzhak Brick confirmed in an interview with Israel News 24 that US President Donald Trump saved Israel from itself at the last minute, describing it as a "miracle."

He added, "Anyone who is talking today about continuing the war in Gaza, I want to remind you of what Eyal Zamir (Chief of Staff) said, and I said this before him: a death trap," noting that "the Israeli army was unable to defeat Hamas."

Brik pointed out that "the army cannot release the prisoners by force of arms, and we will lose hundreds of people," stressing, "We have lost the world and we will lose Israel's ability to confront the threats growing around us."

Availing myself of this opportunity, I am going to make our stand towards the relations with the ROK clearer.

We have no reason to sit together with it and will do nothing together with it.

I make clear that we will not deal with it at all.

In fact, we and the ROK have existed in the international community as two states over the last scores of years.

It is a stark reality that the two most hostile states on earth, two belligerent states, have been in acute confrontation on the Korean peninsula.

It was Syngman Rhee, the first president of the ROK, and his clique that rigged up a separate government on one half of the Korean peninsula in stubborn opposition to the aspirations of all the fellow countrymen to get rid of the tragedy of division imposed by foreign forces and live and develop independently on one territory.

In the first Constitution of the ROK fabricated and promulgated in July 1948, Syngman Rhee stipulated that “the territory of the ROK covers the Korean peninsula and its attached islands,” thus codifying its inborn nature which is the most hostile to our state.

So the guy from that video who was shot in the head just died his family have announced.

Boniface Kariuki: Nairobi hawker who was shot in the head by police is dead
Boniface Kariuki, the hawker who was shot by police in the head in Nairobi during protests on June 17, 2025, is dead, the family has said.

The family spokesperson Emily Wanjira confirmed to NTV that Kariuki died on Monday.

Kariuki, a mask vendor, was shot in the head at point-blank range by a police officer during the protests that turned violent as the protesters engaged police officers in day-long running battles.

The demonstration was part of a growing call for justice for Albert Ojwang, the teacher and blogger who was taken from his home in Homa Bay and killed in police custody in Nairobi.

Kariuki has undergone two surgeries at Kenyatta National Hospital where he is admitted in ICU.

Protests are heating up in Kenya. a shooting yesterday and roaming armed gangs:
Kenya protesters clash with men wielding clubs
Kenyan protesters have clashed with club-carrying young men, believed to be loyal to the government, in the centre of the capital, Nairobi.
The demonstration, held in the wake of the death in custody 10 days ago of blogger and teacher Albert Ojwang, was called to demand the sacking of a top police officer.
Police initially said that Mr Ojwang died of self-inflicted wounds, but were forced to retract the statement after an autopsy found that it was likely he died after being assaulted. Two policemen have been arrested in connection with the death.

The protest comes amid simmering tension ahead of next week's first anniversary of the storming of parliament by demonstrators.
Earlier on Tuesday, there were pockets of violence in the capital's central business district when groups of young men riding motorbikes, armed with whips and clubs, attacked protesters.
Videos show the men - described locally as "goons" - seemingly working side-by-side with police, who fired teargas to try and disrupt the demonstrations.
The police have denied any link saying that it has "noted a group of goons armed with crude weapons, in today's protests… The service takes great exception and does not condone such unlawful groupings."

>Why the death of a blogger has put Kenya's police on trial
A vendor was shot during Tuesday's demonstration, sparking renewed outrage from Kenyans who accuse police of using excessive force against protesters.
Boniface Kariuki was reportedly selling masks when a uniformed police officer fired a bullet at close range, critically injuring him.
His father, John Kariuki, told local media that the bullet went through his head, just above the ear.
