Descripción

Long before the watermelon became a coded symbol of resistance, Palestine was known for its oranges, until Zionism took that too.This is the story of the forgotten story of Jaffa oranges, once a global export proudly grown by Palestinian farmers until Israel kept the fruit, kept the label, and built a national brand off of stolen labor, stolen soil, and a vanished people.Even symbols of life and sustenance get repackaged by settler colonialism. Today, the watermelon fills that role, sharing the same colors as the Palestinian flag — immediately recognizable to anyone who knows what’s being silenced. Knowing that history means knowing how deep the theft goes. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.

Epstein Class Wants To Cut Healthcare To Pay For Iran War

Right now the Epstein Class is openly discussing cutting federal healthcare spending to help fund as much as $200 billion for the expanding war effort against Iran. The war itself is already burning through money at a staggering pace, with estimates hitting around $1 billion per day. These people hate you and want you dead so they can fulfill their biblical prophecy by blowing up the Middle East. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.

Why Does Ritchie Torres Talk About Israel 3,320% More Than Poverty?

You’d think Ritchie Torress, a congressman from the Bronx, one of the poorest districts in the country, might spend his time fighting poverty or housing insecurity. Instead, he talks about Israel 99% of the time. That’s not even really an exaggeration. Ritchie Torress doesn’t answer at all to his constituents, instead his main concern is being a PR agent for the Zionist regime while families in his own district go hungry. This is what occupation by proxy looks like. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.

AIPAC Millionaire Ritchie Torres Sent the Capitol Police After Me

In May, after pressing Torres over his alignment with AIPAC money, the response wasn’t an argument or denial… Capitol Police were called. That escalation tells you exactly where the real power sits. When elected officials are backed by wealthy lobby-linked donors, accountability gets reframed as a security threat. Foreign policy consensus is guarded not just with talking points, but with force when necessary. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.
