Here's a quote from Chairman Gonzalo , leader of the Partido Comunista del Peru , until his passing in 2021 :
The bourgeoisie was once a revolutionary class, but it has already become historically obsolete and it is wildly clawing and hissing as wounded beasts do . This rabid behavior is the price of it's destruction . It feels itself sinking it knows itself to be unburied carrion , but although it's grave is already open and waiting , it resists it's burial at the hands of the proletariat . This last monster engendered by the bourgeoisie , imperialism , the oppressor of the world's people , must be swept off the face of the earth together with revisionism and world reaction . Our role , the role of the proletariat and the people , is to bury it . It is the necessary task in our historical perspective . We must always have this absolute conviction--we shall smash the bourgeoisie and bury imperialism ! Imperialism and all it's partners and running dogs .
The european union and the western powers are all complicit in what is going on with both Gaza and Iran . They're either silent ( with some exceptions ) , or they say that the genocide happening is actually self-defense .
There are tens of thousands of citizens of these countries who do oppose their country's foreign policy , but as usual, the " elected representatives of the people " don't want to listen , the elitist motherfuckers . Always on the side of injustice and profit . Fight back .
‘Chief of All Cowards’: Amnesty Slams EU as Spain Pushes to Review Israel Agreement
Amnesty blasts EU as Spain, Ireland, Slovenia push to review Israel agreement over Gaza, Lebanon, and death penalty law.
Key Developments
Amnesty accuses EU of complicity and failure to uphold international law.
Spain, Ireland, Slovenia request EU review of association agreement with Israel.
EU divisions persist, blocking consensus on suspension of agreement.
Amnesty: EU ‘Chief of All Cowards’
Amnesty International has sharply criticized the European Union’s stance toward Israel, accusing it of failing to uphold its own principles and enabling violations of international law.
Secretary-General Agnès Callamard described the bloc as “the chief of all cowards,” saying it has failed to apply consistent standards in addressing alleged violations by Israel.
“They failed to hold on to the values at the heart of the European project. They failed to stop the military transfers to a genocidal government,” she said in a statement.
Callamard added that the EU’s inaction represents “the most damning indictment” of its leadership and commitment to international law.
EU States Push to Review Israel Agreement
Amid this criticism, Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia have called on the European Union to discuss suspending its association agreement with Israel, citing concerns over human rights violations and escalating regional tensions.
In a joint letter sent on April 17 to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, the three countries urged that the issue be placed on the agenda of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg, European media reported.
Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said the request reflects growing concern over developments in Gaza and Lebanon, as well as Israeli policies that the three states say violate international law.
The letter highlighted the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, where continued ceasefire violations and an Israeli-imposed siege have further deepened the crisis.
It also raised alarm over a recently introduced Israeli law that would impose the death penalty exclusively on Palestinians convicted in Israeli military courts.
The three countries said such measures “contravene human rights and violate international law and international humanitarian law.”
Albares said, “I expect every European country to uphold what the International Court of Justice and the UN say on human rights and the defense of international law. Anything different would be a defeat for the European Union.”
‘No Broad Consensus’
Despite Spain’s push, there is currently no consensus within the European Union to suspend the agreement.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez renewed calls to break the EU-Israel association agreement following a political gathering in Spain, accusing Israel of violating international law and the terms of the accord.
However, diplomats told Euronews that EU member states are expected to push back against the proposal during the foreign ministers’ meeting.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas acknowledged that a unified position among member states would be required to move forward, while noting that “there is no broad consensus” at present.
Countries such as Germany and Italy have not shifted their positions. The Italian government said it would take a “serious and balanced approach,” stressing that any decision should not harm Israeli civilians.
Other states support further discussion but do not expect an immediate outcome.
A proposal by the European Commission to partially suspend the agreement, including its trade component, has also stalled due to similar divisions, with key member states blocking the required majority.
Deep Divisions Stall Action
The EU-Israel Association Agreement, signed in 1995, governs trade and cooperation and conditions the partnership on respect for human rights.
Yet internal divisions continue to prevent action.
More than one million European citizens have called for suspension through a cross-border petition, but this has not translated into political consensus.
At the same time, discussions continue over possible sanctions targeting Israeli settlers in the West Bank. While most EU countries support such measures, opposition from Hungary has delayed their adoption.
Kallas said that “settler crimes need to be punished,” suggesting the issue may be revisited depending on political shifts within member states.
Not a ton of people know this , but Scottish band Big Country are one of my favourites of all time . The poetic lyrics , dramatic soaring guitars , it hits me right in the heart , or at least their first four records did . Here's Just A Shadow , from their second album , Steeltown . Simply beautiful .
It's not enough that the fascist state of israel has killed over 72,000 people in Gaza , or that they intend to completely cleanse the area of Palestinians , they are now killing the people bringing aid to the bombed out area , in the vain hopes of trying to save lives . There will be no repercussions from the west , as fascist israel is supported by many imperialist countries . There is blood on many hands , including kkkanada's .
‘Outraged’: UNICEF Says Israel Killed Water Workers, Forcing Halt to Vital Gaza Aid
UNICEF says Israeli fire killed water truck drivers in Gaza, forcing suspension of critical aid operations supplying hundreds of thousands.
Key Developments
UNICEF says it is “outraged” by killing of water truck drivers.
Attack targets key water distribution point serving Gaza City.
UNICEF suspends operations due to security concerns, demands investigation and accountability.
Israeli Fire Kills Aid Workers
UNICEF said it is “outraged” after Israeli fire killed two drivers contracted to deliver clean water to families in Gaza.
In a statement issued on Friday, the agency confirmed that the men were killed at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza during routine water delivery work.
Two others were injured in the same incident.
The Mansoura site is the only operational truck filling point connected to the Mekorot water supply line serving Gaza City.
According to UNICEF, the facility is used multiple times daily to support water deliveries to hundreds of thousands of people, including children.
The agency stressed that the attack occurred during standard operations, with no changes in routes or procedures.
Operations Suspended
Following the incident, UNICEF said contractors have been instructed to suspend activities at the site until security conditions improve.
The suspension threatens access to clean water for large segments of the population already facing severe shortages.
UNICEF called on Israeli authorities to immediately investigate the incident and ensure full accountability.
“Humanitarian workers, essential service providers, and civilian infrastructure, including critical water facilities, must never be targeted,” the agency said.
It emphasized that the protection of civilians and aid workers is a legal obligation under international humanitarian law.
The attack comes amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where access to water, healthcare, and basic services remains severely restricted.
UNICEF warned that the incident endangers vital operations that sustain daily life for hundreds of thousands of civilians.
Mao said this in 1958 , but it is still relevant today :
U.S. imperialism invaded China's territory of Taiwan and has occupied it for the past nine years. A short while ago it sent its armed forces to invade and occupy Lebanon. The United States has set up hundreds of military bases in many countries all over the world. China's territory of Taiwan, Lebanon and all military bases of the United States on foreign soil are so many nooses round the neck of U.S. imperialism. The nooses have been fashioned by the Americans themselves and by nobody else, and it is they themselves who have put these nooses round their own necks, handing the ends of the ropes to the Chinese people, the peoples of the Arab countries and all the peoples of the world who love peace and oppose aggression. The longer the U.S. aggressors remain in those places, the tighter the nooses round their necks will become.
Speech at the Supreme State Conference (September 8, 1958).
They lose everywhere they go . They are ALWAYS the aggressor , and feel they have the moral authority to decide who gets nuclear weapons and who doesn't . Meanwhile , their ally , the fascist state of israel , gets away with genocide and get to call it self-defense . They have taken on more than they can handle , and it will end in humiliation for the richest and most powerful country on earth .
They are not indestructible .
Hezbollah Repels Israeli Invasion in Southern Lebanon
Lebanese resistance party Hezbollah continues to defeat the Zionist invasion in southern Lebanon as losing Israeli forces resort to civilian massacres in violation of the April 7 ceasefire.
Israel invaded Lebanon on March 2 as part of the US-Israel genocidal campaign against Iran and resistance forces in the region. Fighting on the ground has been restricted to the proximity of Israeli outposts in Lebanon as the Israeli Defense Forces fail to make any significant ground.
The April 7 two-week ceasefire between Iran and the US-Israel forbade any further attacks in the region, including Lebanon. Despite this, Israel has continued its massacres in Lebanon. Israel murdered over 250 people and injured hundreds more after carpet bombing civilian areas on April 8, the deadliest day of the war.
The US and Israel have retroactively lied about the conditions of the ceasefire, claiming that Lebanon was not included despite the Pakistani mediators explicitly stating that it was. Hezbollah adhered to the ceasefire until the Israeli attacks resumed.

Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz said in late March that a security zone up to the Litani River would be created. Israeli forces have been unable to seize control of the river thus far, only reaching the south-east tip, which already connected with a pre-existing Israeli outpost.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir reportedly claimed at a late March security cabinet meeting that the “IDF is going to collapse in on itself” due to a severe manpower shortage as it is stretched thin across its wars of aggression in Iran, Gaza, the West Bank, and southern Lebanon.
Contrary to Zamir’s claims that “Hezbollah is sustaining significant damage,” Hezbollah carried out 1309 operations against the invasion in March—with roughly half the operations taking place in Lebanon and the other half in Israel—and shows no signs of slowing down.
Since the start of the war, Hezbollah reports destroying 136 Israeli Merkava tanks, striking Israeli command centers with drones and rockets, and hitting two Israeli military vessels with explosives. Inside and outside Lebanon, Hezbollah inflicted over 350 casualties on the Zionists throughout March while carrying out an average of 42 operations per day.
The Zionist military reports Hezbollah has fired around 3,000 missiles and other projectiles since the start of the war from an area in southern Lebanon that the sell-out Lebanese government had previously claimed to have disarmed, showing the anti-imperialist force to have a much higher operational activity than expected by the Zionists.
The comprador Lebanese government and the Zionist entity are meeting on April 14 for direct negotiations for the first time since 1983. The Lebanese government is seeking a ceasefire, while Israel is pressing for the disarmament of Hezbollah after being defeated by the resistance force once again.
