Firestorms in Israel

Huge forest fires in Israel. So-called ‘firestorms’ are raging all across Israel, with much of the country experiencing strong winds with velocities up to 110 km/h, reportedly a ‘highly unusual’ event per Israeli media.

All ‘Independence Day’ events and gatherings are canceled across Israel due to the firestorms. Israeli tanks and military bases are burning in the firestorm. The firestorm has reached an Israeli military base in Central Israel, with soldiers reportedly trapped inside their barracks and possibly being burnt alive.

Israeli Channel 14: Some of Israel’s highways are completely shut down due to the firestorm. ‘There are dozens of fires burning across the country, and not a single one of them is located in an Arab area’

Israeli Fire Commissioner: ‘The firestorm is spreading at a significant rate. Winds are expected to worsen, and the fires will become more severe the next 24 hours’ Not a single one in the West Bank or any Arab community inside Israel. A massive sandstorm has started to appear in the Israeli Negev desert

Israel: ‘International aid and firefighting teams will not start working until tomorrow’ Israel has requested international assistance to combat the ongoing fires, reaching out to Cyprus, Croatia, Greece, and Italy for support.

Petro is also an ex-guerrilla member btw. He was a member of the 19th of April Movement (which followed the ideology of Rojismo and Democratic Socialism).

The US mass deported MS13 and other Salvadoran gangs in the late 80s / early 90s after the Salvadoran civil war and overwhelmed the newly formed government.

The ARENA government also delayed the creation of a police force for a year, and when it was actually ready, the police force was nothing more than the same military working as a death squad for the state. Without the police militias, there was basically no opposition to organized crime. The FMLN screwed up the chance they had in power by being dumb SocDem (even if they meant well), and I believe the last FMLN president recently died in exile.

the noodle anime is real, human-made

Hundreds of officers belonging to the UAE-backed ‘Yemeni National Resistance’ have defected to Ansarallah (the Houthis), and gathered in the capital Sanaa for briefing. These officers defected from the UAE-backed ‘Yemeni National Resistance’, their territory is on Yemen’s Western Coast

They are led by General Tareq Saleh, nephew of the late President Ali Abdullah Saleh, the former Houthi ally that defected to the side of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in 2017. It seems almost all of their high command have defected.

Israel used to participate in the AFC and Asian Games (they played against other US puppet regimes like Iran, South Vietnam, South Korea and Taiwan). But during the early 1970’s they were expelled.

Israel was part of the Asian Games Federation and participated in the games from 1954 through 1974. In 1981 the Asian Games Federation was organized as the Olympic Council of Asia and for political reasons Israel was excluded. Following this, in 1982, it was voted on to permanently ban Israel from the Asian Games.

Israel was kicked out of the Asian Games and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for political reasons, primarily due to the opposition of Arab nations and other countries in Asia. Israel participated in the Asian Games from 1954 to 1974. After a vote in 1974, Israel was expelled from the AFC, a decision driven by political tensions with Arab nations. Israel eventually joined the European Football Union (UEFA) in 1994.

Let me make this clear, anti imperialism is when a country the west doesn’t like invades another country. Russia invading “Ukraine” is anti imperialism, China invading “Taiwan” is anti imperialism, the German reich and the ussr invading “Poland” during the 30s is anti imperialism

/leftypol/ is a leftist political board which was originally founded as an 8chan board in 2014 by imageboard users seeking refuge from the reactionaries that were taking over their home boards (particularly 4chan’s /lit/). Its users are known for their dislike of identity politics and everything liberal. Memes originating from /leftypol/ have been of profound influence on the online left, giving us classics such as Porky, Nazbol Gang (and the X GANG meme in general), and political catgirls.

While working with Ian Watson on the story for A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Kubrick asked Watson for a pre-print copy of his Warhammer 40,000 tie-in novel Inquisitor. Watson quotes Kubrick as saying, “Who knows, Ian? Maybe this is my next movie?”

I wonder if this is the Junta trying to appeal to the more socially conservative areas of society. Juntas and military leaders, whether left-wing or right-wing, tend to have reactionary brainworms because of how reactionary the military schools and organizations are.

Chavez mostly ignored homophobia in Venezuela, and even within the PSUV. I don’t think he was a homophobe, but he didn’t do much to prevent homophobia from happening. At least Maduro seems better in that regard, even if Maduro has ties to Christian groups, he also seems to have improved the lives of LGBTQ+ people, and even openly supported same-sex marriage.

Nicolás Maduro assures in Salvados that the issue of equal marriage “has not been debated yet” although he assures that he believes “that everybody can get married whether homosexual or heterosexual” and has committed with Jordi Évole to take the issue of same-sex marriage to the Constituent Assembly. On the decriminalization of abortion he did not want to pronounce himself as it is “a delicate issue”.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Thursday asked the country’s National Assembly to discuss same-sex marriage during its next term beginning in January, citing Pope Francis’ comments this week supporting civil unions for same-sex couples.

The Pope’s comments were the clearest language yet he has used on the rights of gay people. Gay marriage is not currently legal in heavily Roman Catholic Venezuela, despite laws or court decisions in other South American countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Colombia legalizing same-sex marriage. “I have friends and acquaintances who are very happy with what the Pope said yesterday,” Maduro said at an event with leaders of his ruling Socialist Party
