  • https://palestinedrinks.com/en/about-us

    We are proud to present Safadfood AB, a company offering high-quality carbonated beverages, run by a Palestinian family and based in Sweden. Our drinks are more than just a refreshing treat – they represent a symbol of unity and community.

    100% of our profits go directly to war-affected people and children in Palestine. Through our work, we aim to alleviate the suffering of those living in uncertainty and challenging conditions. Our goal is to support the most vulnerable and help build a brighter future for those hardest hit by conflict.

    It is as good as it gets in the current situation. Israel would never allow Palestinians in the Westbank, leave alone Gaza become successful with such a brand.


  • Let me tell you about the tale of Neoliberalism and the center “left”. Our story begins in the 1980s, but it really takes of in the early 2000s. At the time a bloke named Tony was ruling the UK as prime minister and he had a fine Atze ruling Germany, whose name was Gerhard…

    Together they dismantled social security, raised taxes on their people, and lowered taxes on their rich friends. They sold much of their realm to their rich friends, at a staggering discount. They said this would be best for the people and the global markets would demand, but also reward as such…



  • And the most obvious way to move a ship is by sea. Ships are made to move on water. There is no more logical way to move a ship and its content across the Mediterranean Sea than by sailing it.

    Despite existing land-routes shipping remains the backbone of global transportation and you would be shocked to find the amount of ships transporting goods and people across the Mediterranean Sea, or the Baltic Sea, or any other route that has land-routes available. But it goes even further! Rivers and channels remain crucial shipping lanes inside Europe despite streets and train-tracks being right next to them. Almost as if ships are great means of transportation!

    EDIT: I am sorry, i got cocky with that comment.

    Despite existing land-routes shipping remains the backbone of global transportation and ships usually are preferential to land-routes in particular in the Mediterranean Sea or the Baltic Sea. There also are many shipping routes based on rivers and channels, which have streets and train-tracks right next to it, but maintain shipping as the preferred method of transport for many goods. Shipping is a great mean of transportation and in many cases it is the best option.


  • Fascism thrives on fear as a means to control. It fosters it. It kindles it. It works hard to keep reasons up for people to feel fear, so that they turn off their thinking and let the fascists control their fear.

    While in Western Europe the past 70 years were mostly working on the notion that your wealth and well being would increase, we now are at a point, where the future will have mostly loss of wealth and well being relative to the parents generation. In that climate, Fascists can easily foster, exploit and twist those fears.

    “Climate change? It isn’t real and it is just a hoax to take your car away! Global instability and mass expulsion of people? It is just the brown people wanting to steal your social security! Don’t look at the countries and corporations running the globe into the ground and being in bed with the Fascists! Look at the people struggling as a result of it. Hate them, look down on them and fear them. And fear becoming like them, as we dismantle the very same systems that gave you a stable livelihood!”

    Fascism is a self fulfilling prophecy of fear, anger and decline for the people falling into it and a brief mania of total control and superiority for the Fascist leaders, until the whole system comes crashing down, as it inevitably does.














  • DW is funded and run by the German government to improve Germanys image abroad. It is not a public broadcaster as those are financed through a government independent but obligatory system.

    In regards to Palestine it ran a terrible hack job of Israeli propaganda until about earlier this year, when they realized that this is harming the image of Germany abroad much stronger than at least pretending balanced coverage.



  • Even if the reasons where mainly substance use and mental illness, those are still societal issues that require societal solutions through better health care access and overall more social security.

    It is wild to me that in America “Oh you have a mental illness? Well go die then and don’t leave your corpse for me to see!” is somehow a position that is considered acceptable among “progressives”. It is deeply reactionary and a hallmark of fascists.


  • Corporate media and billions in oligarchy money.

    It is sad that we keep having to repeat the same thing over and over again yet people refuse to learn. The Democratic party and the Republican party are both tools of the same oligarchy and they both fight against the normal people in different flavors. The Democrats happily gave the last election to Trump instead of stopping an US backed genocide and since then they often cooperated to help Trumps fascist power grab.

    Unless the party is fundamentally changed and all its current and past leaders ousted and disgraced, it cannot be a means for bettering society.






  • Well, the former US ambassador to Israel recently declared in an interview that killing children is okay, because they are Hamas children and Israel said so.

    Also the former Biden team admitted that they deliberately lied about Israel sabotaging any ceasefire attempt and instead lying blamed it on Hamas, all while providing further arms shipments, without which the Genocide would have been over within a few weeks.

    They justified this with the claim that it wouldn’t have helped Israel, so the goal was always clear. The Democratic presidency under Biden was in full support of the genocide. Unlike Trump they merely cared about creating a slight appearance otherwise, but they have been salivating at the continued slaughter of women and children, the ethnic cleansing, the deliberate starvation, the rape and torture of Palestinians taken hostage by Israel.

    By punishing them for supporting Genocide at least there was a chance that the party would reform as it identifies Genocide as a loosing issue. However now we see that supporting Genocide is more important to them even than preventing Trumps full takeover. This only leads to one conclusion. They are not only pro Genocide, they are also pro Fascist dictatorship.


  • The “practical leftists” were fighting the people who wanted the supposedly better party to not be this cruel and abominable evil. The division was caused by the “practical leftists” who willfully employed themselves to spread the propaganda, that genocide should be acceptable as a “lesser” evil. The “practical leftists” were integral to the strategy of the oligarchy, that is financing and dictating bot mayor US political parties what to do, in waging their war against the people in the US and people abroad.

    The only strategy not to loose, is not to play that game. We see some initiatives into that direction with people like Mamdani and we see that the “lesser” evil and the “bigger” evil are largely working together to fight against anything that could not be evil.
