The best approach to win US people over to the Palestinian cause is “to dismantle the idea of America in their minds… It is impossible to win over an American to our side without them opposing the idea of America.”
| Basel Al-Araj
Both the US and Cuba were founded upon settler colonialism, genocide of Indigenous peoples, and chattel slavery of abducted Africans. So why is US nationalism reactionary, while Cuban nationalism is revolutionary?
￭ Nationalism itself isn’t inherently reactionary or revolutionary — it depends on the context, whether it is an oppressor nation or an oppressed nation, whether it is in service of liberation or in service of imperialism and its national comprador class.
￭ Just like Israeli nationalism, US nationalism emerged as a settler identity built upon genocide.
￭ Martyred Palestinian revolutionary Basel Al-Araj argued that the Israeli occupation is “almost a carbon copy of America,” and the best approach to win US people over to the Palestinian cause is “to dismantle the idea of America in their minds… It is impossible to win over an American to our side without them opposing the idea of America.”

It’s great the NYT is covering the most important stories about the Maui fires, like the story of this settler tragically lost her Rolex watch!
Really important we center stories of ppl like her who work for luxury resorts responsible for the environmental destruction of Hawaii!
On Friday, Elicia Stratton searched desperately through the wreckage of her Lahaina home for the Rolex watch her parents gave her when she graduated college.
Suddenly, her fiancé pulled it from the ashes. “You found it!” she said, choking up. It was damaged but still legible.

Wow guys I finally made it, Antisemite of the Week 😍
Calla Walsh - at just 21 years old, this Boston native has gone from neighborhood politics to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with America’s enemies abroad, chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" on Iranian foreign soil.
Walsh began her political journey innocently enough, organizing youth volunteers for Senator Ed Markey’s 2020 reelection campaign in MA. But rather than becoming a model of civic engagement, Walsh took a hard-left turn.
She quickly rose through the ranks of fringe movements, becoming the youngest delegate at the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) convention in 2021. From there, her views hardened into outright extremism. Today, she is a leading voice for anti-Israel and anti-American movements, including:
• Palestine Action U.S. – a radical org using militant tactics and violence against Jewish-owned businesses
• BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) Movement – a global, antisemitic movement that pushes for economic isolation and warfare against Israel
• Boston Mapping Project - a website that publicly lists the names and addresses of Jewish institutions in MA
In October 2023, Walsh was arrested in Cambridge, MA, during a violent demonstration at Elbit Systems, an Israeli-owned defense company. She was charged with riot, sabotage, trespassing, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. This wasn't her first brush with the law, but rather, the result of an escalating pattern of dangerous behavior designed to intimidate, destroy, and destabilize.
Walsh has also tweeted her support of terror groups, stating "I love & support Hamas, PIJ, PFLP, Hezbollah, the Islamic Republic". Not long after, she posted "Even a million Al-Aqsa Floods (referring to Oct. 7) would not be sufficient punishment for the criminal zionist-amerikan regime".
Walsh's extremism isn’t limited to U.S. soil; this past week she traveled to Iran to attend and speak at the "International Memorial for the Media Martyrs of the Struggle against the Zionist Regime."
Broadcast on Iranian state TV (IRINN) on July 20, 2025 showed Walsh praising the regime’s missile attacks on Israel and warned of more violence to come. Her chilling words: "We all have a duty, when we go back to the countries we came from, to struggle against Zionism and imperialism. Glory to the martyrs. Glory to the Axis of Resistance. Death to America. Death to Israel."
Calla Walsh is not a peace activist - she is an American citizen radicalized into a vocal mouthpiece for hostile regimes. From promoting terror and defending dictatorships to targeting Jews and undermining America, her trajectory is clear: she’s gone from online hate to criminal vandalism to publicly aligning with America’s enemies abroad. Now, from Tehran, she’s urging others to follow in her footsteps.
This young woman’s ongoing actions warrant your attention @DHSgov @Sec_Noem

Anyone still saying the death toll is 40k is engaging in genocide denial
Genocide is defined not just by numbers but by intent. Israel has declared its aim to erase Palestinian life in Gaza. The scale is clear: 680,000 killed, 380,000 infants. A genocide overwhelmingly against children, erasing Palestinian life at its root.

No, the biggest problem is that the US is strangling Cuba with the most severe & prolonged unilateral sanctions in world history. Trump added 240 new sanctions against Cuba; Biden has upheld nearly every single one & continued to designate Cuba as a “State Sponsor of Terrorism.”
Cuba’s economy is in its worst state since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The biggest problem is the enduring reluctance of its rulers to allow the private sector to thrive: econ.st/3vpBoJp

Chris Smalls also traveled to Cuba two years ago to exchange with Cuban trade unions and speak out against the genocidal US blockade. He’s a real one. Shameful but not surprising that the vast majority of racist zionist trade unions are silent right now as he is tortured by IOF.
