New term learned today - Lehava.

From here -> https://scheerpost.com/2026/07/01/israel-is-an-apartheid-state-and-its-weird-marriage-laws-show-us-how/

There are even groups like Lehava – Israel’s version of the Ku Klux Klan – that go around beating up Palestinians caught anywhere near the Jewish neighbourhoods of Jerusalem and terrorising any young Jewish women suspected of being romantically involved with a Palestinian. Lehava hold noisy and disruptive protests to shame the odd Jewish woman who converts and marries a Palestinian citizen.

All of this happens with a quiet wink from the authorities. The current police minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, has long been a patron of the fascist, Jewish supremacist thugs of Lehava.

Breaching capitalism’s digital fortress.

I think this extends not just to the 'Left' per se, but really for all people essentially.

We are called upon to take possession of the tools of our age, since just as Marx and Engels transformed the economic and philosophical sciences of their time from tools that justified the existing order into a theoretical and practical weapon in the hands of the working class, the left today is called upon to be an active and programming force in this arena. We must move from the position of the “passive user” subject to the terms of capitalist platforms, to the position of the “alternative producer” who puts forward a technology that is communal, open, and liberated.

 

Now here's a podcast worth listening to.

This one is Episode 3.

Let me tell you something about people who go around waving flags of Israel.

They support an ideology - Zionism - that advocates for the destruction of brown people.

They are bigots.

They are bullies.

They are racist.

They are thieves.

They support murderers.

They support destruction.

They don't support open and honest debates or discussions.

They fuel hatred, racial and religious supremacy to justify the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. This means the destroying of the people who lived there centuries before they took over.

But the worst part is, when confronted with the facts and evidence that support all this, instead of acknowledging this, or trying to respond, they can't. Instead they deflect and project their own hatred on others (the anti-Semite one in particular is quite the trope they use; ironic since many of the Israeli Jews who live there aren't actually Semites).

Sounds a lot like what happened here in North America with the Indigenous people here, and then the Black people brought in as slaves.

They are psychopaths supporting criminal and murderous activities. The fact is, there is no reasoning or debating or even discussing such a subject.

Sadly - like the US Empire - they are a cancer feeding on the host. And they will do so until all are destroyed.

I fear that's what will happen to the Palestinians. And it's a really bad sign for all of humanity.

Because if we cannot save one group of people from doing all these things to another group, how are we going to collectively save ourselves from the coming Ecocide?

Here's but one example -> https://climateandcapitalism.com/2026/06/24/the-worlds-heatwaves-are-a-global-health-emergency/

The weekend work went pretty well.

Couple of minor hiccups, but ultimately we prevailed and got a lot of work done.

Other than a couple of 'likes' from 'leadership' via their mobile phones, it drew no attention otherwise.

Nor surprising.

Even in ecological catastrophe, hand it to the rich and powerful to continue kicking people when down.

Washington’s crippling sanctions on Venezuela remain in place despite one of the country’s worst-ever natural disasters, Brett Wilkins reports.

Here we go again - another Saturday of work.

Keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't go over.
