OPTIMISM

 It's important to stay optimistic in the face of all of the death and destruction rained down on the people of the world by the imperialist powers , including the kkkanadian government , or at the very least they're helping the others do it .

Checking other news sources is a great way to get facts , and not accepting the ruling powers' definitions of " terrorists " versus " freedom fighters is important also . Fuck the bougie motherfuckers .

What it takes to win

From May 12 to May 16, the Lebanese liberation organization Hezbollah reported that its fighters destroyed a new Zionist barracks that contained artillery, bulldozers and other vehicles located in a southern Lebanese town.

The Israeli state killed hundreds of people to assassinate Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah in 2024, but millions are inspired to fight to liberate Lebanon. May 2026.

Hezbollah destroyed all the vehicles and equipment in the barracks and then attacked the remaining soldiers directly with drones. In a different town, Hezbollah did the same thing, destroying Israeli tanks and vehicles and attacking Israeli troops with drones and artillery. (Resistance News Network, May 22)

Hezbollah has been waging such attacks almost daily since March 2, when they resumed fighting after Israel continued to violate the ceasefire agreed to earlier.

On May 24, Lebanese Resistance and Liberation Day, the new Secretary General of Hezbollah Sheikh Naim Qassem said that Hezbollah refuses to disarm and will defend the people of Lebanon even when the government is unwilling to do it: “The weapons will remain in our hands until the Lebanese state is able to perform its duty. What is happening in the south is the beginning of the demise of ‘Israel.’” (RNN, May 24)

Hundreds of Israelis, displaced from Kiryat Shmona, a northern Israeli town on the border with Lebanon, are refusing to return to the settlement. This is despite financial incentives offered by the Israeli government. What’s stopping them is the Israeli military’s ongoing fighting with Hezbollah. (Israeli Channel 12, May 25)

Moshe Davidovich, head of the Israeli Mateh Asher Regional Council in the western Galilee and chairman of the Northern Conflict Zone Forum, told Israeli media that Hezbollah must be defeated or the northern Zionist settlements would cease to exist. (The Cradle, May 24)

To better understand this, consider what happened in September 2024, when the Israelis assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

To kill that one leader, the Israeli forces leveled at least four large buildings in a residential section of Beirut, killing hundreds of people living in them. Nasrallah died among his colleagues and his family. There had previously been a series of deadly bombings of Beirut and its environs prior to the assassination, killing over 800 people and injuring at least 5,000.

In this process aimed at eliminating the Lebanese resistance, the Israelis murdered many other Hezbollah leaders. On Sept. 17, 2024, Israel detonated hundreds of pagers used by Hezbollah party members, wounding dozens of people, mostly civilians, and revealing shocking intelligence penetration.

At the time, many believed that it would be difficult for the Lebanese resistance, that is, Hezbollah, to recover from this blow. Wikipedia has an entry saying some thought it was the end of the resistance.

In retrospect, however, as reported on May 24 in The Cradle: “The steadfastness of fighters on the border fighting a fight to the death provided the party’s remaining top military leaders room to breathe and gather themselves to regroup. These walking martyrs saved the party.”

Hezbollah began reconstructing the organization on Nov. 28, 2025, one day after the ceasefire agreement.

Inside the organization, the assumption was not that the war had ended, but that another round of fighting with Israel was only a matter of time. The ceasefire meant that although the war had exacted a heavy toll, it had also left open a critical space in which the organization could reconstitute itself. By mid-December 2025 they did just that.

Hezbollah replenished weapons, etc., by taking over unattended Syrian supplies and with help from Iran.

According to Middle East Eye, Hezbollah resumed attacking on March 2 and hasn’t stopped. On March 19, Hezbollah’s missiles even reached southern Israel, sending Israelis in Ashkelon and communities near the Gaza Strip running for cover.

The Israelis are finding out that just by being the most heinous or murderous actor doesn’t guarantee victory — if the liberation forces are also ready to fight. Being the most determined and patient, while acting in solidarity with the people can work better.

HIT 'EM AGAIN AND AGAIN

 It's no mystery why you won't hear about the fascist imperialist army's losses and stupidity during their various massacres and invasions . Yes , that's mostly what they are . The deaths of thousands of civilians , many of them children . They rarely engage a real army , and when they do , they go down the shitter .

Hezbollah Annihilates Truckload of Zionist Troops in Attack Dedicated to Iranian Schoolgirls Massacred by US-Israel

Lebanese resistance party Hezbollah released footage of a successful drone attack against an Israeli military vehicle filled with Zionist troops in southern Lebanon on May 26.

The video begins with Hezbollah fighters assembling the first-person-view (FPV) suicide drone in front of a sign that reads in Farsi, “Dedicated to the sacrificing dear Iranian people for the kindness and continued support of Lebanon. Your brothers from the Islamic Resistance of Lebanon.”

A separate sign resting on the drone says in Farsi, “The martyrs of the Minab Shajare Elementary School,” in reference to the 180 schoolgirls and teachers who were murdered by the US and Israel in an attack on a girls’ elementary school on the first day of the invasion of Iran on February 28.

The video then shows the drone following an Israeli military vehicle as it drives. A few Zionist soldiers jump out of the back of the vehicle right as the drone makes impact.

Hezbollah has had extensive success in annihilating Israeli forces with its FPV drones over the past month, which are cheap to produce and resistant to remote jamming. The footage provided by the drones exposes the losses of Zionist forces invading Lebanon, which are systematically hidden by Israel. The resistance drone attacks, in conjunction with multi-phase ambushes of the invaders, have forced the IDF this month to retreat from multiple south Lebanese towns and to limit their daytime maneuvers, curtailing the Zionist entity’s genocidal operations flattening the homes of south Lebanon.

On May 25, Nazi-Zionist butcher Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel is intensifying its genocidal campaign against Lebanon in an effort to defeat Hezbollah and occupy the country. The announcement came as Lebanon celebrated Resistance and Liberation Day, this year marking the 26th anniversary of the victory of Lebanese resistance forces led by Hezbollah against Israel, ending much of the Zionists’ 15-year occupation of their country.

Israel and Lebanon agreed to a ceasefire on April 16 this year as part of Iran’s condition of a regional ceasefire after Iran, Hezbollah, and other regional resistance allies defeated US-Zionist forces through roughly six weeks of coordinated warfare.

Israel has since attacked Lebanon on a daily basis despite signing the ceasefire. Hezbollah continues to strike daily against invading forces, preventing Zionist troops from making it more than a few miles into Lebanese territory. According to the resistances’ military media office, Hezbollah carried out 22 operations on May 25 and 32 on May 26.

VERY VERY AMERIKKKAN

 There is nothing surprising about the shootings at the San Diego Islamic Center . In fact , there is zero that should surprise you about amerikkkan racism and terrorism at all . 

Public burnings of the Holy Quran , anti-Muslim rhetoric from politicians , and invading and destroying predominantly Muslim countries is business as usual in the good ol' u.s.a. 

This article was written by an american politcal group , however , and they are on point .

San Diego shootings – act of domestic terrorism

WW editorial

By WW editors posted on May 26, 2026

One of the victims was Amin Abdullah, a security guard and father of eight children. He had worked at the Center for 10 years. Abdullah is considered a hero for sacrificing his life to protect the children who were in the Center during the shooting. Fortunately, no child was injured.  

Workers World agrees with the assessment of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), one of the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy groups in the U.S. In its statement, CAIR condemned the shooting, saying, “We are deeply disturbed, but not at all surprised, to learn that those who attacked the Islamic Center of San Diego were reportedly motivated by anti-Muslim hate.”

CAIR continued: “Hate against American Muslims is completely out of control. Numerous politicians have spent the past year claiming that all ‘mainstream Muslims’ should be destroyed, that American mosques and elementary schools should be shut down, and that American Muslims should be expelled from our nation. Just last week, House Republicans held a congressional hearing to fan the flames of hate against American Muslims, their houses of worship and even Muslim schoolchildren.

“A deadly attack on an American mosque was as predictable as it is unacceptable. Anti-Muslim hatred is one of the last acceptable forms of bigotry in American society, and it is long past time for the tolerance of this hate to end.” (cair.com, May 18)

On its website, the San Diego Islamic Center states that its mission is to “work with the larger community to serve the less fortunate, to educate, and to better our nation.” (icsd.org) The other two killed were Mansour Kaziha and Nader Awad. Like Abdullah, they are considered heroes. Two thousand people attended a May 21 memorial in San Diego for the three victims.

The real culprit – Islamophobia

The two teenagers may have pulled the triggers that tragically ended the lives of three people. However, this shooting did not happen in a vacuum. It occurred amid a wave of anti-Muslim hate, also called Islamophobia, driven by the U.S. imperialist ruling class, its politicians and corporate media, who target Islam as a religion and culture anchored mainly in the oppressed nations of the world. 

U.S.-based Islamophobia reached a fever pitch in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, (9/11), when the U.S. rulers scapegoated all Muslims for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Random individuals who wore traditional Muslim clothing were singled out for physical attacks, some resulting in loss of life.  

Reactionary laws, such as the U.S. PATRIOT (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) Act of 2001, were passed after 9/11 to falsely label Arab people and Muslims in general as “terrorists.” This was to justify the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and to allow the George W. Bush administration to either deport or imprison Muslim individuals.

One example is Aafia Siddiqui, who (along with her children) was kidnapped by the U.S. from Pakistan in 2003. She was sentenced to 86 years in prison by a U.S. federal court and has been held in a federal prison near Fort Worth, Texas, since 2010. 

Zionism is racism

On Oct. 7, 2023, organizations of the Palestinian Resistance rose against the Israeli occupation with the heroic Al-Aqsa Flood. When the Israeli Occupation Force responded with a genocidal war against the people of Gaza, a movement protesting this genocide developed around the world. 

In the United States, these protesters have been arrested by the authorities and demonized by the bourgeois media as “antisemitic.” The corporate media’s labeling of any pro-Palestine action as “antisemitic” adds fuel to the fire of Islamophobia and spurs acts of racism, such as what happened in San Diego. 

From 1975 until 1991, a symbolic vote took place annually in the United Nations General Assembly on the proposition that “Zionism is colonialism and racism.” A majority of countries, located mainly in the Global South, would vote “yes,” with the “no” votes always coming from the Zionist state of Israel, the U.S. and mostly other imperialist countries. The Palestinian Resistance has requested that the worldwide movement help resurrect “Zionism is racism” as a major slogan.

There are frequent public calls for an end to “anti-Jewish hate.” But the same cannot be said for calls to end anti-Arab or anti-Muslim hate. Such sympathy towards Muslims, which would be a welcome antidote to Islamophobia, fails to serve the geopolitical interests of U.S. imperialism and its pit bull ally, the decaying terrorist state of Israel

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW , DID YOU ?

 Sometimes the fightback against imperialism is not led by progressive forces , but at the same time , it would seem that much of the oppressed world is fed the fuck up with imperialism , ( chiefly u.s. imperialism ) , and will fight back no matter what . And not only fight back , but expel their greedy asses .

The United States effectively lost its military and diplomatic foothold in the Sahel following a wave of military coups from 2020 to 2023, which ousted civilian governments and led juntas in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to sever ties with Western allies. 

The unraveling of the U.S. presence involved several key developments:

• Complete Withdrawal from Niger: In September 2024, the U.S. completed its military exit from Niger—once Washington's primary counterterrorism and drone hub in the region—after the ruling junta terminated their bilateral defense agreement.
• Shift to Russian Influence: As American and French forces were expelled, military juntas in the central Sahel turned to Russia for security partnerships.
• Travel and Diplomatic Curbs: The breakdown in relations has reached the point where countries like Mali and Burkina Faso have implemented reciprocal travel bans on U.S. citizens.
• Geopolitical Realignment: The U.S. has since been forced to reevaluate its approach, exploring alternative partnerships in coastal West Africa and initiating potential revisions to its Africa doctrine to navigate the new landscape. 

THE PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS FIGHT BACK

 It is truly incredible . No matter the massive odds stacked against them , no matter the sheer numbers of dead and the impossible imbalance in weapons and military strength , the people will always find ways to fight back . The amerikkkans lost in Afghanistan , for fuck's sake . Anything and everything is possible .

Hezbollah Drone Attack Kills Israeli Soldier as Resistance Mourns Mohammed Awda

By Palestine Chronicle Staff  

An Israeli soldier was reported killed as Hezbollah drone operations intensified amid growing warnings over evolving battlefield dynamics.

Key Developments

• Israeli media reported one soldier killed and seven injured after explosive drones detonated in northern Israel.
• Israeli analysts increasingly described Hezbollah drone capabilities as a growing strategic challenge.
• Hezbollah issued a statement mourning senior Qassam commander Mohammed Awda and reaffirmed continuing resistance operations.

Israeli Soldier Killed

Israeli media reported on Wednesday that warning sirens sounded across the Western Galilee after several explosive devices detonated inside a military zone and near the settlement of Shomera.

Initial reports indicated that one Israeli soldier was killed and seven others wounded in the incident. Earlier reports had confirmed casualties without disclosing details pending an official military announcement.

The Israeli army spokesperson later said several booby-trapped drones had fallen in northern areas, adding that investigations remained ongoing and indicating that the security incident had not fully concluded.

Israeli media also reported additional alerts in Shomera, Admit, Ayalon, Goren, Gornot HaGalil, Hanita, Ya’ara and Arab al-Aramshe.

The incident came amid continuing operations by the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, which has maintained attacks against Israeli occupation forces and occupied territories in response to what it says are ongoing Israeli ceasefire violations since April 18.

Growing Drone Challenge

The latest incident comes as Israeli media increasingly warn of changing battlefield dynamics involving Hezbollah drones.

The Israeli newspaper Maariv reported earlier this week that northern areas experienced hours of aerial and drone attacks. Correspondent Avi Ashkenazi wrote that Hezbollah’s explosive drones had effectively evolved into “a precision missile launch platform.”

Yedioth Ahronoth also warned that drones no longer represent merely a tactical challenge but have developed into a strategic threat.

The newspaper said Hezbollah increasingly appeared focused on targeting Israeli forces operating in the field, while the Israeli military was attempting to alter operational patterns in response.

Israeli military officials and analysts have recently acknowledged difficulties confronting smaller attack drones and loitering munitions that continue targeting military positions and operational areas.

The growing concern follows repeated Hezbollah operations in recent weeks involving explosive drones and coordinated attacks targeting Israeli positions and troop concentrations.

‘Flame of Resistance’

Separately, Hezbollah issued a statement mourning senior Hamas military commander Mohammed Awda, known as Abu Amr, following Hamas’ announcement of his assassination.

The movement extended condolences to Hamas, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades and the Palestinian people.

In its statement, Hezbollah said the martyrdom of commanders “will not weaken the resolve of the resistance fighters,” adding that it would instead increase determination and commitment to resistance.

The movement said Awda joined a generation of commanders who “built the flame of resistance in Palestine” through decades of sacrifice and struggle.

Hezbollah further stated that attempts by Israel to weaken resistance through assassinations would fail and said the “banner of resistance will remain flying high.”

Hamas Mourns Mohammed Awda, Founding Figure in Qassam Brigades

The movement also accused Israel of continuing “massacres, genocide and brutality” against Palestinians in Gaza and civilians in Lebanon.

Earlier on Wednesday, Hamas announced the martyrdom of Awda, who was killed alongside his wife and children, Yasser, Yahya, and Jamila, in an Israeli strike targeting a residential building west of Gaza City.

Awda was considered one of the early founders of Hamas’ military apparatus and belonged to the first generation of Qassam figures who worked alongside commanders including Abu Muadh al-Namrouti, Mohammed al-Deif and Sheikh Salah Shehadeh.

As confrontations continue across northern occupied Palestine and southern Lebanon, the developments reflect the expanding role of drone warfare while regional resistance movements continue linking battlefield developments across multiple fronts.
