Here’s a similar (albeit much smaller) instance of forced migrant crossings by Belarus in 2021. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/lukashenko-tells-migrants-belarus-poland-border-he-wont-make-them-go-home-2021-11-26/ And another source suggesting this was orchestrated: -

These are from the New York Times. Hardly a bastion of far-right antisemitism. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/world/europe/migrants-surge-morocco-ceuta-spain.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share -

Israel has used the Holocaust card way too much to get away with heinous bullshit virtually no other country would get away with. The Holocaust was terrible but it doesn’t give a nation free rein to rewrite human rights, international law, factual evidence or just basic fucking history at will. Palestinians, Lebanese, Iranians etc are all suffering under their unhinged quest for regional hegemony and the creation of “Greater Israel” in complete violation of international law, human decency, or common sense. Just because your granddaddy was murdered in a Nazi gas chamber doesn’t now allow you to slaughter Muslims and destabilise nations across the planet because you think you now own that land despite not living there for 2000 years. Israel is factually a settler state engaged in ongoing displacement, massacres and ethnic cleansings of the native populations of those regions. Any unbiased reading of the situation leads to this conclusion. Humanity did away with warlords in 1945 but apparently the biggest victims of warlordism and nationalism didnt get the fucking memo. Israel has to go. This is beyond absurd. -

I’m no conspiracy theorist, but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Hell I was initially resistant but to the whole backlash against Israel after October 7 because I felt the situation was more complex than that. But at some point it becomes too obvious that all of this is real and Israelis really are that fucking unhinged, lol. You couldn’t write a more fucked-up country if you tried. Israel is a bloodthirsty settler state and they know it, the problem is they’re unwilling to admit this to themselves so they’d rather destroy everything else than own up to their own dark truths. In trying to create a safehaven for Jews they ended up creating their own nightmare. There’s no other words to describe all of this other than “fucked.” edit: Just to add to this, none of this adds up. There have been some migrant waves in Ceuta in the past but none as massive as this and none as spontaneous. Spain had been making moves to align with Algeria over Morocco very recently and the Moroccans and Israelis just announced a new partnership literally yesterday. Plus Morocco’s ties to MAGA, Zionism etc are well documented, this didnt just come out of the blue. Not to mention all the Israeli diplomats, journalists basically jumping for joy over the news (and the fact that they expressed hope this would happen YEARS ago) just makes all of this feel way more organised than just “some Moroccans really wanted to get to one walled-off city out of nowhere.” It’s the same bullshit Lukashenko or Erdogan pull when they want to punish Europe with migrants. It’s not unheard of. -

Here’s Netanyahu’s son in 2019 calling for Arabs to take over Spain and saying Spain should stop funding pro-Palestinian NGOs. This whole thread is a perverse goldmine. Zionism is a mental disease. https://x.com/YairNetanyahu/status/1132380560377167875?s=20 -

This is from Israel’s ambassador to the UN. The cause is clear. -

Criticising Spain for imperial holdovers is one thing, busing in 60,000 random civilians to cause chaos out of some hare-brained political stunt against a geopolitical rival to deflect from your own genocide is another thing entirely. Israel couldn’t give less of a fuck about Spanish cities in Morocco or anything else like that, they just want to punish Spain for not blindly allowing them to slaughter Palestinians with impunity. The very real human cost in terms of racism, destabilisation etc this stunt will cost doesn’t matter to these ghouls. They’d happily let the rest of the earth burn if it meant they got to cling onto their blood-soaked conquests for one day longer. They’re a rogue agent and will be forced to wake up to the fact they exist on illegitimate, ill-gotten Palestinian land one way or another. -

So I’m seeing reports that all of this was orchestrated by the Moroccan state on behalf of Israel, who are pissed that Spain has taken a hardline stance against Israel and their ethnic cleansing of Palestinians over the last couple of years. Now a bunch of Israeli accounts on Twitter are coming out of the woodworks calling for Spain to “decolonize” Ceuta and to give over half of their European land to Morocco as some sort of “gotcha” against Spain for their “hypocrisy.” Can’t the Israelis see how fucking insane this is? Trying to play into anti-imperialist rhetoric to score international brownie points whilst flattening Gaza, killing West Bank Palestinians and turning southern Lebanon and Iran into nightmare warzones is UTTERLY insane. Israel is a fucking rabid dog and needs to be put down for the sake of sanity to survive on this planet. What an utterly bankrupt, perverse, hypocritical and destructive malignant entity Israel is. Just an awful country in every sense of the word. These people are unhinged.

What confuses me about Tate is how he seems to believe he could get away with rape, sex trafficking, violent abuse etc for years without any sort of repercussion whatsoever. Now that he’s been caught and feeling the consequences of his own actions he’s acting like the biggest bitch ever. What gives? Is it entitlement? Ignorance? I can’t say I’m not happy this moron is finally behind bars but the amount of whining this sentient turd is doing baffles me. -

Man, as someone of Greek background this movie is gonna be so ass. Not because the movie itself will be bad (I’m not gonna see it so idk how it’ll be artistically) but because it’s gonna convince a whole bunch of people that Odysseus and Penelope were a bunch of rich WASPs from New England and not the swarthy Mediterranean people they historically were. Greeks (and Turks, and Lebanese etc) have historically been treated poorly in the West and the lack of inclusion in a movie based off our own myths is gonna do a lot to erase us from the public consciousness. It’s like, the white guys love our history but then pretend we don’t exist, which one is it? -

I think my biggest problem with America is that it wants to be an empire without any of the responsibility. Usually empires use resources from other countries to provide for their population back at home (think of the grain dole in Ancient Rome), but America can’t even bring itself to give its own citizens healthcare. Then look at foreign policy. It’s true all empires engage in various forms of massacres, wars of conquests etc from time to time, but more often then not they will then try to provide laws, infrastructure etc to their conquered provinces (even if only out of an attempt to display their own superiority.) When the British conquered India, for instance, they built railways, public offices, etc. Compare this to America in Iraq and Afghanistan for instance, where the Americans seemed to be content with letting the countries fall to chaos outside of a few “green zones” in the capital cities. Then there’s the issue of refusing to integrate conquered populations - say what you will about the British for instance, but they let Indians get educated in Britain, serve in their military, etc. Compare this to how Americans, even after invading Iraq and Afghanistan, still saw these people are “subhuman terrorists” they wanted nothing to do with, whilst effectively being in control of those countries. When America withdrew from Afghanistan in 2022 hundreds (if not thousands) of friendly Afghan citizens who helped the western nations were left behind (often at great risk to their safety), and calls to bring them over to the US itself were rejected for not wanting to bring more “brown people” into their country. If you want global influence, that comes with global responsibility, which America seems both unable and unwilling to accept. I feel like people would be a lot less harsh if America seemed to genuinely be interested in at least attempting to uplift other countries (as well as their own), but the track record over the past several decades has soured too many people on this. That’s my take anyway. -

Are you still in Syria? How do you think Syria is doing after the civil war? Are you hopeful for the future or more sceptic? I’m really interested in how your country is doing -

@Leo Gura yeah, I think it basically comes down to economics. Even just your average middle class American or Brit is living a lifestyle that would be in the top 1% of most third world countries, so in that situation it’s basically inevitable that people from those countries will do anything that they can to try and have a chance at their life. If you’re a young engineering student from Senegal for instance, are you going to put up with rampant corruption, pollution, crime, unemployment etc in your home country, or are you going to take a shot at earning 50x more than you ever could by moving to the West, even if you have to put up with shitty pay, racism, long work hours, etc? Realistically the only way to reduce global migration is to reduce global inequality, but that takes a degree of foresight and cooperation that most politicians and business people aren’t prepared to do. Not to mention, like you said, rich countries like having poor immigrants come in and do the backbreaking labour they’re not prepared to do themselves, even if it ends up changing the culture / demographics overtime. Obviously there’s more to it than that (enclaves vs assimilation, religious tensions, etc) but so long as the economic factor isn’t addressed all the other points are just superficial grievances IMO. Wealth and security is the primary driver for so much of human activity. -

Can we just reset the entire internet at this point? It’s so tiring having everything treat you like a digital serf for the data dukes to lord over. It’s insanely anti-democratic and dehumanising and just straight up shit to deal with. -

Don’t you guys like the opposite sex? lol. I was speaking about this with my therapist recently and it kinda occurred to me so much of modern gender discourse seems to just boil down to someone feeling emotionally detached from the other gender. As if love, dating, relationships etc are just transactions one person gets from another and there’s no real way to fundamentally humanise or care about the other person. Aw man. Now I just made myself depressed. It’s not that bad guys lol we can get along 😢 -

I’ve heard about this too. It’s freaking weird to say the least. Weren’t all of them involved in the US nuclear program to some degree? The fact that we have nuclear scientists of all people going missing is cause for concern -

You sound like a chatgpt bot bro, try and engage with these ideas critically instead of just repeating stuff you saw on Instagram
