5. Hamas’ Vision for Ending the War - The root cause is the occupation, which must end under international law. - The first step must be an immediate halt to the aggression. - Borders must open for aid and reconstruction. - A comprehensive prisoner swap must follow.

4. Rejecting Surrender Hamdan dismissed calls – even from some Arab voices – that Hamas should “face reality” and step back, saying realism does not mean surrendering to facts imposed by the occupier. He accused Israel of trying to dominate the region and threaten multiple Arab states…

3. On Global Recognition & Next Steps Asked about Western recognition of a Palestinian state despite Gaza’s devastation, Hamdan said recognition is a step in the right direction but insufficient alone. It must be followed by: ▪️International measures compelling Israel to respect Palestinian rights…

2. On Disarmament Demands Hamdan rejected the idea that Hamas might disarm: “The talk of giving up weapons is not on the table.” He argued that surrendering arms would mean surrendering the philosophy of resistance — exactly what colonial powers have always wanted.

🧵 THREAD | Senior Hamas Official Osama Hamdan Interviewed by Al Jazeera (September 21, 2025) 1. On Negotiations & Trust in Mediators Hamdan said the Israeli attack on Hamas’ negotiating team in Doha proved “this enemy is treacherous and aggressive, and cannot be trusted for even one moment.”

We are going to have to fight hard for a world in which human creativity still matters.

In addition to comparing all Palestinians (not Hamas, but all Palestinians) to Nazis, the Israeli ambassador to the US is spreading the "great replacement" conspiracy. And while he may hope it remains focused on Muslims, lots of people on the right will hear "great replacement" and think "Jews."

It's notable that when AOC compared Trump's family separation facilities at the US southern border to concentration camps in 2019, the ADL criticized her for supposedly trivializing the Shoah. My guess is they will not speak up against this. Holocaust comparisons for me, not for thee.

Of course, even if it were only focused on Muslims, spreading the "great replacement" conspiracy would be wrong. But the fact that the Israeli right can fail to realize how dangerous this conspiracy theory is to diaspora Jews is a sign of how blinkered they've become by ethnonationalism.

"A bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus."

The annoying leftie posters were right, 'Dubai is just a normal fun holiday destination' really was a warning sign of fascism all along

When people talk about the "Israeli left" they tend to talk about Meretz or Labor, aka the Democrats, ran by a guy who opposes Palestinian self determination, or Standing Together, a Israeli Jewish group most comparable to DSA except unlike DSA it doesn't have a single elected member of parliament.

The largest left wing party in Israel is a majority Arab party

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

If you want to understand this Trump administration's rampant corruption ... you have to go back to Eric Adams, and how they made the case against him disappear. I got a bunch of new details on this deep dive for @nytimes.com ... www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

So criminal he should be arrested, not criminal enough to even consider no longer being a customer of his products

This is the vibe I wish to bring to the function.

Oh so it IS an occupation huh

this is bad for all the data privacy and freedom of information reasons many have already noted but it's going to be fun to watch it fail!

America is already complicit in Netanyahu’s campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza, and now Trump wants to send him $6.4B more in offensive weapons. Our priority should be ending the war and returning the hostages  — not funneling MORE taxpayer dollars to Netanyahu to bomb starving Gaza.

this charlie kirk deification is some of the weirdest shit i have ever seen

Charlie Kirk warns that Haitian migrants “will become your masters” if Trump loses the election Kirk: “There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama, and they will become your masters.” Written by Media Matters Staff 09/27/24 3:48 PM EDT web.archive.org/web/20240927...

two weeks later, over on Truth Social

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

there is a point here i want to amplify. the free speech defenders of the mainstream seem to have no awareness that actual free speech is often more fractious and destabilizing than civil and respectful. a society where speech is genuinely free isn’t the deferential space they want it to be.

Trump and Vance’s contradictory messages on these killings: 1: Our glorious military carried out hyper-precise attacks on dastardly drug smugglers. 2: If you’re an innocent fisherman, watch out because we might kill you by mistake!

The most elemental form of coercion is detention. Did we forget this? Detention is the ENEMY and the OPPOSITE of due process. The most obvious axiom that we deliberately ignore

It broke the sacred rule to not quote him or actually show him saying anything lmao

It’s true that you’re probably not going to convert someone by roundly humiliating them for being a moron - but you’ll convert a lot of people who may have silently agreed in a totally permissive environment, but do not want to end up similarly labeled a moron.

It’s the culture of total ideological permissiveness that got us here - the idea that everyone has a completely unrestricted right to endorse ideas that are stupid beyond belief, and that if you make them feel like an idiot for acting like an idiot, you’re the problem. No. We need MORE judgement.

I agree it’s good to convert voters. The thing that DC Dems can’t seem to get into their thick skulls is that kumbaya listening sessions convert no one. What converts people is creating a social penalty for stupid beliefs and ideas

Race-neutral affirmative action programs that genuinely attempt to help the most disadvantaged people often end up designed around criteria that clearly correlate with race, because it turns out that a lot of disadvantage flows from race, not class

I don’t know if they could have, but I know they could have pulled out all the stops to try. Impossible to imagine that, e.g., Trump would ever laugh off the sale of a media company to a political opponent

Dems were very proud to demonstrate their savvy by telling anyone who would listen “Twitter isn’t real life,” which, in addition to being a severe underestimation of its role, became the conventional wisdom largely because of pundits repeating it ON TWITTER. Which should have been a clue!

Before we go down the usual “what could have Dems done,” there were national security avenues to review the sale - Chris Murphy tried to do it, after the fact! It’s very clear that Dems mostly just didn’t care - they told reporters as much through the entire saga.

This is why it was completely insane for Dems to laugh off the Twitter purchase. We created a forum with practically every single political and media elite all in the same room together hearing the same things, and then we turned it over to a far-right oligarch

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

Apparently the reason that the FBI didn’t go after Homan once he’d taken the alleged bribe is that bribery requires an official act, and at the time he had no official role. So they were planning to wait and see what he did once he got into office. They could have charged him for conspiracy though.

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet
