In 2013, the CIA began a secret program known as Operation Timber Sycamore to arm and train Syrian religious extremists in an attempt to overthrow the secular government of Assad; costing the US hundreds of billions of dollars and the lives of hundreds of thousands of Syrians 🇸🇾

The Israeli occupation destroying an entire neighborhood in the middle of Gaza City.

James Baldwin in 1969: "When any white man in the world says, give me liberty or give me death, the entire white world applauds. When a black man says exactly the same thing, he is judged a criminal and treated like one."

On April 1, 1948, David Ben-Gurion wrote in his journal about “the development of science and speeding up its application in warfare.” A month and a half later, he wrote about “biological materials” that were purchased for $2,000. Only now, 74 years later, has a connection between these two entries come to light.

The disturbing story behind them was recently uncovered by historian Benny Morris and historian and Israel Prize laureate Benjamin Z. Kedar following extensive archival research. Evidently, the excerpts from the diary of the man who would become Israel’s first prime minister are traces of his involvement in a secret operation to poison the drinking water of Arab communities during the War of Independence.

David Graeber, while visiting Palestine, heard about stories of Israeli intelligence spiking the tea of Palestinian women in hair salons. Then they took the women, undressed them, and took nude photos of them to use for blackmail. This was confirmed to be true by former agents.

In 2015 the North net appropriated from the South 12 billion tons of embodied raw material equivalents, 822 million hectares of embodied land, 21 exajoules of embodied energy, and 188 million person-years of embodied labour, worth $10.8 trillion in Northern prices – enough to end extreme poverty 70 times over.

The South’s losses outstrip their aid receipts by a factor of 30 and unequal exchange is a major driver of underdevelopment and global inequality.

Drain from the South is worth over $10 trillion per year, in Northern prices.

In 1921, The newspaper Filastin wrote “we are Palestinians first and Arabs second.” (Filastin 3 September 1921)

“The term "Palestine" first appeared in the 5th century BCE when the Ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote of a "district of Syria, called Palaistinê" between Phoenicia and Egypt in The Histories.”
