I Dare A Reporter To Ask 47 If He Knows What Samoud Means

Still recovering from flu so this is just to say that hearing 47 call for ethnic cleansing and development of Gaza's "phenomenal" waterfront real estate begs the question: does he know about samoud? 

The past 16 months of genocide have underscored the steadfastness of Palestinians, on display in myriad forms in the video linked above.

But imperial managers are clueless. They think resumption of shipping 500 pound bombs will accomplish what bombing has never accomplished; samoud always rises from the rubble. Always has, and always will.

On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated. “I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” he tells reporters. ”We just clean out that whole thing.”

 

Slaughter continues in the West Bank, and many are speculating that 47's ceasefire deal with Netanyahu included giving Israel the green light for subduing and annexing that occupied territory.

Ramallah, January 26, 2025—Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian toddler near Jenin last night. Laila Mohammad Ayman Khatib, two, was shot and killed by Israeli forces around 8:30 p.m. on January 25 while she was in the living room in her family’s home in the Palestinian town of Muthallath Al-Shuhada.

Meanwhile the international campaign to punish journalists for sharing news from Palestine continues.  Because repression -- if it's brutal enough -- will collapse their resolve to tell the truth, right? Wrong!

From Kevin Gosztola writing in The Dissenter:

Swiss police in Zurich arrested Palestinian American author and journalist Ali Abunimah on January 25 in order to block him from delivering a lecture at an event organized by the Palestine Committee of Zurich. 

Abunimah, who works at Electronic Intifada, will not be intimidated by these gestapo tactics. 

That's my message for today: be steadfast like a Palestinian!

It's the least we can do for the children.
