There’s absolutely no excuse for continuing to babble about hostages and Hamas after the US and Israel said the goal is the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza. They told you what this is really about. They said it. With their face holes. They said it right to you. End of debate.

Astonishingly, given that more journalists have been killed by Israel in Gaza than in all other major wars of the past 100 years combined, Israel still ranks 112 out of 180 in the Press Freedom Index. Maybe the index doesn't count murdered journalists – when they're Palestinian.

It Was Never About Hostages. It Was Never About Hamas. There is absolutely no excuse for continuing to babble about hostages and Hamas after the US and Israel said the goal is the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza. They told you what this is really about. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/it-was-nev...

Being a liberal Israel supporter these days probably feels like being a defense attorney for an accused murderer who won't shut up about how much he loves murdering. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/its-an-awk...

The Democrats committed genocide. Now the Republicans are committing genocide. There you have it. Neither party is acceptable. Case closed. End of debate.

The Word “Bombing” Means Different Things Depending On Where It Happened Someone exploding a building full of pale-skinned English speakers is an earth-shaking tragedy, while someone exploding a building full of darker-skinned Arabic speakers is just Tuesday. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-word-b...

The US launched 65 airstrikes in 24 hours in Yemen, and then Trump's intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard tweeted, "President Trump IS the President of Peace. He is ending bloodshed across the world and will deliver lasting peace in the Middle East." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-presid...

Biden destroying Gaza and then Trump working to ethnically cleanse it is such a classic case of the jab-cross combo that Democrats and Republicans employ to advance the agendas of the empire. They don't just do evil things, they set up the other party to inflict new evils.

Tom Cotton Admits The US Doesn't Actually Care About Spreading Democracy Not very often you hear a US empire manager come right out and admit they only care about planetary hegemony and that their whole schtick about spreading freedom and democracy is a sham. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/tom-cotton...

Boycott the United States and its child-killing tyranny

The BBC News at Ten covered Netanyahu's visit to the White House at length and yet didn't mention once that he's wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. How's that possible?

Only 3% Of Jewish Israelis Think Trump's Ethnic Cleansing Plan For Gaza Is Immoral "Three percent. If that isn’t a sign of a morally diseased society, I don’t know what would be." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/only-3-of-...

The old president supported genocide. The new one supports ethnic cleansing. American democracy in action.

Never before has there been a clearer example of how both wings of the US War Party work in tandem to achieve the Empire’s goals. The Dems slaughter and level Gaza then the GOP ethnically cleanse those who survived, both pointing at each other in the Pantomime of Death it all is.

Nobody who's saying "Haha you idiots should have voted for Kamala to protect the Palestinians" has ever supported the Palestinians. These are all the same people who spent last year telling everyone to shut up about Gaza and stop opposing an active genocide. They can get fucked.

The Nonstop Military Operation Known As Israel Israel is demolishing residential buildings in the West Bank, burning homes in Lebanon and constructing military facilities in Syria, all while continuing to kill civilians in Gaza. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-nonsto...

To be clear, it's not some antisemitic conspiracy theory that US lawmakers voted to ban TikTok in order to shut down criticism of Israel among young people. They openly admitted that this was in fact what they were doing.

It's Not That Trump Is Good, It's That Biden Was Just That Bad www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/its-not-th...

To be clear, I don't particularly care that Elon Musk very clearly made Nazi salutes. We've just spent 15 months watching the US empire carry out a live-streamed genocide, and Elon Musk is one of the managers of that empire. Doing Nazi salutes just puts a wrapper on the product.

it happened to me: nancy pelosi bought stock in a company i worked at and it immediately doubled

Israel is under investigation by the International Court of Justice for committing genocide. Meanwhile, the Israeli general who oversaw the Gaza slaughter is welcomed by the UK Ministry of Defence. What war crimes does the MoD hope to learn from him? www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbb1...

31 Surefire Ways To Make Me Lose Interest In Your Thoughts About The World 1. Support Trump and the Republicans 2. Support Democrats 3. Ignore Gaza 4. Talk about “antisemitism” like it’s a major problem that needs to be urgently prioritized www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/31-surefir...

Over 1,000 Israeli soldiers – some with dual nationality – have been referred to the International Criminal Court accused of war crimes. The Hind Rajab Foundation did the detective work, tracking the' online footprint of the soldiers' atrocities. More: www.palestinechronicle.com/war-crimes-h...

It’s not difficult really

This is the perfect time to roll this out from the archives of @caitoz.bsky.social

They're making that tiny strip of land in the corner even smaller. Now do you get it?

The Biden administration, which has been intimately complicit in the genocidal atrocities being perpetrated in Gaza for the last 15 months, has just determined that a genocide is being committed in Sudan. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-biden-...

The US wants Greenland for the same reason it’s burning families alive in Gaza: to control, extract, exploit and dominate. This is plain old US imperialism, nothing more, and anything that bolsters the US Empire is and always will be a huge net loss for humanity.

Israel isn't eradicating 'the terrorists'. It's turning Gaza into a wasteland, where no one who cares or tries to cling on to their humanity can survive. Where doctors do not exist, aid workers are a memory, and compassion a liability. My latest: www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/dr-h...

Israel: Hamas did mass rapes on October 7th! UN: Ok, can we come investigate? Israel: No, because then you’ll see all the rapes we’ve been doing to the Palestinians we keep hostage! (Seriously)

Some Thoughts On The Mystery Drones Since mid-November people have been sighting large drones all over the east coast of the United States, and what makes this so interesting is that the US government is claiming they don’t know anything about them. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/some-thoug...

If you’re not yet radicalised against the status quo in the West: what the fuck more do you need? Do you need someone to come burn a child alive in your living room? Will it take capitalism killing a loved one? How extreme must the horrors get before you reject this madness?

The truth shall set us free

Syria's torture chambers sound nearly as horrifying as Israel's rape and torture chambers.

Taliban In Afghanistan Bad, Al-Qaeda In Syria Good It’s pretty wild how the west went directly from “We need to occupy Afghanistan for two decades to prevent it from being taken over by the Taliban” to “Yay! Syria’s been taken over by al-Qaeda!” www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/taliban-in...

The governments of the US and UK are reviewing the designation of HTS as a terrorist organisation so we can “deepen our contact” with Syria’s new rulers. For context, the US did not remove Nelson Mandela from the terrorist watch list until 2008. www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/uk-reviewi...

Suddenly, after years of misrepresenting Hamas, western politicians and media are desperate to clarify – if only in Syria – the difference between jihadists and Islamic nationalists. My latest article can be read here: jonathancook.substack.com/p/the-day-th...

The BBC reminds us every time it mentions Hamas that it is 'designated a terrorist organisation by the British government'. HTS, the al-Qaeda rebranded conquerors of Damascus, are designated a terrorist organisation by Britain too. So why is the BBC not pointing that out?

Don't worry, I'm sure we know exactly what we're doing over there 👀

Another Nation Absorbed Into The Blob Of The Empire And now the imperial blob rolls on to absorb its next target, having grown one Syria-sized increment larger after spending years digesting that nation. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/another-na...

When the Oligarchs who own everything are telling you that it doesn’t matter who you vote for, because nothing fundamentally will change via electoral reform, believe them

I have learned a few things in my time on this earth. Not many, but a few. I have learned that western regime change interventionism is reliably disastrous, and that men like John Bolton and Bill Kristol are always on the wrong side of history when it comes to such matters.

Mighty convenient how Russia being tied up in Ukraine and Hezbollah being decapitated by Israel leaves Syria once again exposed to the longstanding regime change agendas of the same western empire who's been backing both of those proxy conflicts.

“The Rome Statute doesn’t apply to Israel, or the United States, or France, or Germany, or Great Britain, because it wasn’t conceived of to come after us.” — Lindsey Graham admits Int’l Law is a tool of Western supremacy that does not apply to the West

France really just made up its own version of international law for Israel. Only problem is you could apply this imaginary law to Putin, al-Bashir, and Min Aung Hlaing too. www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/france-has...

The US went from “Israel is committed to international law” to “international law does not apply to Israel or any of us for that matter” in less than a year. This is how hyper-normalisation works.

According to France, if war criminals refuse to sign up to the Rome Statute, as sitting heads of government, they cannot be arrested for their war crimes. Imagine undermining international law this badly, just to let Netanyahu off the hook. It could not be more grotesque.
