Who has a 'right to exist, depends a lot on the who.
Especially if that 'who' is actually a 'what', and not actually a sapient person.
Case in point -> https://mondoweiss.net/2026/07/no-israel-does-not-have-a-right-to-exist-quite-the-contrary-actually/
Israel’s record is clear. It was founded on the breach of two peremptory (jus cogens) norms: the right to self-determination of the people of the land, and the rule on the non-acquisition of territory by force, as well as on the two highest crimes in international law: genocide and aggression.
Since then, it has refused the return of refugees and their compensation, and has continuously expanded its unlawful evictions, land theft, and colonization.
The United Nations and every major international human rights organization have concluded that the Israeli regime is guilty of apartheid and racial segregation, unlawful occupation, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.
The regime is now on trial for genocide at the ICJ, charges that the Court has found plausible enough to issue a series of preliminary orders (all of which the regime has ignored).
And the same Court has found the regime guilty of unlawful occupation, the forced denial of self-determination, the unlawful acquisition of territory by force, war crimes, apartheid, and racial segregation.
And the International Criminal Court has indicted the regime’s leaders for crimes against humanity.
For the full eighty years of its existence, the Israeli regime has held the distinction of being in breach of the highest number of UN resolutions and ICJ decisions of any country on the planet.
Today, the regime is unlawfully occupying Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, attacking Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, and beyond, and perpetrating genocide in Palestine.
It has carried out assassinations across the region and has admitted to (indeed, bragged about) transnational terrorist attacks with booby-trapped pagers in Lebanon
Judged against the imperatives of international law, Israel is, in the strictest sense of the term, a rogue regime, illegitimate in its founding, and devoid of all legitimacy in its conduct ever since.
To declare that such a regime has a “right to exist” is an affront to generations of its victims, to international law, and to human decency itself. And the threat that it poses extends far beyond Palestine.
The Israeli regime is driven by a deeply racist and fundamentally violent ideology. It is armed with advanced technologies of surveillance and death, holds powerful conventional weaponry, and possesses stockpiles of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.
It has declared policies mandating the mass murder of civilians (the Dahiya Doctrine), the killing of its own citizens (the Hannibal Directive), and the potential nuclear destruction of the world (the Samson Option).
Its spies are active in countries around the globe, and its proxies are actively engaged in corrupting governments and institutions across the West.
Does such a regime have a “right to exist?” No.
In fact, dismantling such a regime and its replacement with a free Palestine with equal rights for all is not only a legal requirement, but also an existential imperative for all of humanity.

Is the US Empire's rich and powerful afraid of one man?
Apparently so, given the lengths went to here -
P.S. Max Blumenthal is a fucking hero in a day and age of cowards.

Why exactly was one man a threat to the US Empire?
Yes he was black.
Yes it was the late 1960's.
But was really going on?

In case you missed it - the so-called "The Anti-Defamation League" was NEVER a civil-rights organization.
Quite the opposite in many respects.
They have always been - at minimum - shills for US Empire.

Reminder - in capitalism, labor and unions are frowned upon by employers.
The reason is simple - unions are the only effective defense against exploitation by employers in capitalism.
Like my late father said, if companies actually knew how to treat people, there's be no need for unions.

Quote of the day -
We must not allow ourselves to grow desensitized to the reality of what our tax dollars could be funding instead of the spread of surveillance, destruction, and devastation. And we must make it clear that we will never mistake the roar of engines overhead for the promise of peace, whether that is abroad or here.
Every dollar spent on one of these performative fighter jet overpasses is a dollar stolen from our communities. The budget is a clear reflection of what the country values, and right now, our budget says we value genocide, destruction, and the theater of war over the substance of peace and the actual betterment of our communities, our country.
The America and Freedom 250 celebrations ask us to reflect on what our nation stands for, a nation started by genocide, carried out by slavery, fueled by exploitation, and exposing how militarism, racism, and fascism are on full display. Why do we spend trillions to destroy and destabilize the world, while spending pennies on investments to make our own communities actually safe?

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/

Euro-centric settler-colonialists always stick together, don't they?
I mean, that's one of the basic tenets of white supremacy. It's origins are religious in nature, but based ultimately on hatred.
Think I'm delusional?
In this context, Israel has long maintained strong relations with the Republika Srpska. Cvijanović met with Netanyahu in a diplomatic setting without Bosnian flags, prompting the Bosnian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue a formal note of protest. The visit sparked outrage in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with critics warning that Cvijanović was aligning with an entity accused of war crimes and promoting islamophobic narratives.
This concern was linked to Sa’ar’s remarks about the “need to safeguard Christian minorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina,” as well as Cvijanović’s speech at the JNS Summit. There, she praised Israel for building “democracy” in the region and called for intelligence sharing and “strengthening security partnerships.”

Tennessee at the center of far-right assault on Black voting rights
https://liberationnews.org/tennessee-at-the-center-of-far-right-assault-on-black-voting-rights/
... we have never won any of our rights by sitting around and waiting for politicians or courts to save us. Our power comes from collective struggle. To fight back against these anti-democratic attacks, we cannot despair. Neither can we merely vote harder in a system that was not designed to reflect the interests of working-class, and especially Black people, in the South. Instead, we must organize.
The Civil Rights Revolution that won the Voting Rights Act was nothing short of a Second Reconstruction. As the far-right tries to roll back these gains, we know that it will take a Third Reconstruction — a Socialist Reconstruction — to win the lives we deserve, once and for all.
This should surprise no one really, as it's the same state where the KKK was founded -
On December 24, 1865, a group of former Confederate soldiers established what would become the first chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in Pulaski, Tennessee.

Quote of the day - 06-23-2026.
Israelis, intoxicated by the fantasy of being the chosen people, do not have friends. They do not have allies. They have those they use and those they slaughter.

Another brown child killed, and no one cares.
Israeli soldiers shot seven-year-old Rayyan Abu al-Ajeen in his father’s arms and mocked his father’s pleas as he cried for his dying son. The father says they were in the part of Gaza designated as “safe” for civilians during the “ceasefire.”
The real legacy of events like Juneteenth, are a reminder that white supremacy and racism are systemic, not individual nor collective.
They are basic functions of the system, and always have been.

A victory for independent media in India.
Don't take my word for it -
On Wednesday, a single judge bench of the Delhi High Court quashed the cases filed by Delhi police’s Economic Offences’ Wing (EOW) and the country’s Directorate of Enforcement (ED) agency handling issues related to economic fraud, claiming their continuation was “nothing but a gross abuse of the process of law.”
The judge, Neena Bansal Krishna, further observed that the ED proceedings were “not only mala fide, but also an arbitrary attack and abuse of powers on the free and impartial journalism of NewsClick and Prabir Purkayastha.”

The Epstein class - the center of the US Empire.

Human life.
Most people live in this imaginary world of believed mental constructs that offer up all sorts of reasons to feel anxious and afraid and hostile and ashamed. And then clever manipulators use those feelings to get us consenting to wars and injustices and all the self-destructive human behavior we see before us today. And that’s why everything’s as messed up as it is.The world as it actually exists could not be more different from the world our thoughts describe. Life experienced lucidly is as different from life filtered through thought as any two things could possibly be.The human organism can function perfectly fine without nonstop mental chatter. Thought can be nothing more than a useful tool that gets picked up when it’s needed and set down when it’s not, with attention resting in the profound wondrousness of the senses instead of mental babbling about made-up nonsense throughout the day.It can take some work to undo all the interior dysfunction and come to this level of clarity, but it’s not nearly as much work as we’re already exerting in continuously turning the wheels of our insanity and keeping all these fictional worlds happening inside our heads. Bringing clarity to our inner processes and awakening to reality is actually the easy path. It’s just so much more peaceful and enjoyable.
The true face of genocide - is killing with one simply because they exist.
In this case, a 7-month old child - Sam Abu Haikal.
Because he was brown. Because his parents were brown. Because they - along with all the other Palestinians - represent a threat to US Imperialism/Capitalism/Settler-Colonialism, and so on.
Israeli soldiers shot and killed this Palestinian baby in the West Bank
Sam Abu Haikal was riding in his parents' car through Hebron when Israeli soldiers opened fire. His mother is in intensive care, and his father, wounded in the hand, buried him alone the next morning. He was only seven months old.
And yet, here in America, people are completely (or nearly completely) delusional, self-absorbed, and too caught up in all the perpetual propaganda to really understand.
This is what holds all of us back.

The US and Israel militaries becoming one and the same - can't make this shit up.
And I thought it was hard to keep up with reality or the Dubya years.
https://www.mintpressnews.com/ndaa-new-u-s-bill-will-fuse-israel-and-u-s-militaries-into-one/290951/
Section 224 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) proposes to join the two forces together at the hip, laying the groundwork for extensive cooperation into “seemingly every manner of U.S.-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation,” according to the Institute for Responsible Statecraft.This includes the research, development, and production of modern, hi-tech arms, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, drones, directed energy, cyber, and autonomous weapons systems. It would compel the United States to integrate Israeli arms and technologies into its defense supply chain, and fuse the countries’ data capturing and storage facilities together, meaning that Israel could have access to essentially all the U.S. military’s data.The bill also requires the creation of a new position within the Department of Defense: an executive agent whose role is to coordinate cooperation and integration between the two parties.In essence, then, it would dramatically change the relationship between the two states, from one where Washington supplies Tel Aviv with money, weapons, and diplomatic support, to a situation where the two are fundamentally intertwined.

This time it'll be a little longer than normal. We'll see how well things go. After all, it does apparently keep me employed.
