How can they not realize that once the muslims are driven out, theyāll turn on the Jewish community next? Thatās always how this worksā¦

Shalabi said leaving his home in Beit Lahia didnāt make sense considering the relentless bombardment of southern Gaza, where Israel has repeatedly urged the more than 1 million northern residents like him to seek refuge.

His work on this has always been solid, but lately heās been throwing about a good deal of transphobic nonsenseā¦
And heās pretty solidly in the āpro-Putinā campā¦ Him being right on the issue of Palestine doesnāt mean heās not a raging asshole.

About those missiles(?) or drones(?) the US ādownedā from Yemen(?)ā¦
Red Sea
By all of these glorious achievements, Iāve nearly missed the subplot. Indeed, an āintriguingā episode that, according to the Pentagon and the US media, occurredā¦.well, somewhere in the Red Sea , on Thursday, 19 October.
Correspondingly, and as first, it was claimed (not sure if it was the USN that claimed this, but at least the White House and the Pentagon), that USS Carney was in the ānorthern Red Seaā when shooting downā¦āfewā missiles and UAVs, and thus ādefending Israelā.
Then, the number of missiles was increased to 3, and then to 4. First they were said to have been āland attack missilesā, meanwhile even that is not sure. The number of UAVs engaged and shot down by Carney grew to 19, and meanwhile seems to be at āover 20āā¦
Two photos showing the launch of Standard surface-to-air missiles by USS Carney, in the course of engagements of 19 October.
As far as I can assess, most of this is complete nonsense. For the start, and except the USN has secretly introduced the technology of beaming to its warships, there is no way USS Carney couldāve traveled over some 2,000km ā from southern to the northern Red Sea ā in the course of less than 24 hours. Yes, sure, as a vessel of the Arleigh-Burke -(Flight I)-class, this ship can reach a maximum speed of 31 knots. Means: within 24 hours, it could travel over some 740 nautical miles, which is something like 1,370km. But, it would run out of fuel while trying to do so, because at maximum speed itās gulping maximum amounts of fuel, too: more likely, it was underway at its best economic speed of around 20 knots, which in turn means it couldnāt have been more than āupā about central Red Seaā¦ā¦or less, in which case I doubt the ship was any further up the Red Sea than at the height of the Saudi-Yemeni border.
As next, itās not only that the Houthis have no missiles with a range of more than 800km (thatās what they call the Sayyad, see the video-still below), or that Israel is about 1,850km away from the areas they control: Saudis are monitoring northern Yemen and the southern Red Sea all the time, and extremely carefully ā precisely because of all the missile- and UAV-strikes theyāve experienced over the last 7-8 years. Thus, thinking the Saudis have āmissedā a āstreamā of missiles travelling all the way up the Red Sea and did nothing, would be plain dumbā¦ what a surprise then, somebody found a WGU-44/B guidance section of an AIM-120C AMRAAM medium-range air-to-air missile in northern Yemen: exactly the kind that is the primary weapon of Saudi F-15 and EF-2000 interceptorsā¦ or that now there are claims that the Saudis shot down several of Houthi missiles.
Bottom line: the version of this story as presented by US officials is quite a load of unsubstantiated nonsense. But hey: never mind! Nowadays, and as soon as one claims āUSS Carney defending Israelā, one can sā¦.ermā¦ tell the US Americans (plus Germans, French, Austrians and quite a few others in the West) whatever one likesā¦

Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG) is an ad hoc coalition committed to solidarity and the horizon of liberation for the Palestinian people. Drawing together writers, editors, and other culture workers, WAWOG hopes to provide ongoing infrastructure for cultural organizing in response to the war. This project is modeled on American Writers Against the War in Vietnam, an organization founded in 1965.
