    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.





  • 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.



  • So for all the people saying they voted the “lesser evil”. Your lesser evil is justifying the slaughter of children based on who their parents supposedly are or were.

    Also hist claims that the casualties would then show to be lower and much less civilians is ridiculous in the face of even the IDFs internal database showing that they murdered 83% Civilians.

    Jacob Lew is just saying here that he has been feeding blindly on Israel propaganda and then regurgitating it through his administration to the general public.




  • Imagine the worlds strongest military nation, with a budget larger than the next 5 countries, with bases around the globe, the largest economy in the world, spanning over a continent with access to two oceans, hundreds of millions of people…

    Is pathetically enslaved to a small state of a few million violent extremists who humiliate the US in every possible way at every possible turn. And the US willfully lets itself be humiliated in the face of the world over and over and over again. No matter the administration in the US or in Israel, no matter the claims of “MAGA”. When the Israelis government unzips its pants and starts peeing, the US government is rushing on its knees to let the pee go in their face.


  • Hasbara” is a term for Israeli propaganda.

    The public diplomacy of Israel, or hasbara (Hebrew: הַסְבָּרָה), includes mass communication and individual interaction with foreign nationals through social and traditional media, as well as cultural diplomacy. Organizations involved include the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and pro-Israel civil society organizations.

    Historically, these efforts have evolved from being called “propaganda” by early Zionists (when the term was considered neutral), with Theodor Herzl advocating such activities in 1899,[1] to the more contemporary Hebrew term hasbara introduced by Nahum Sokolow, which translates roughly to “explaining”. This communicative strategy seeks to justify actions and is considered reactive and event-driven.

    Since the rise of social media, Israel is building its propaganda efforts both on paid and volunteering organizations, similar to the infamous Russian “troll farms”.

    In the case of journalists, they go even further, using intelligence units to smear journalists, like the murdered Anas Al-Sharif. We can expect this information then to be disseminated through various channels

    It should be noted that a lot of people are not paid or otherwise organized actors when it comes to Hasbara, but have fallen victim to the propaganda they then help to spread.


  • There simply is no “good option” in ethnic cleansing and genocide.

    What should be done is forcing Israel to end the genocide and provide full access for humanitarian help. Then Israel needs to pay for the rebuilding of Gaza and all the war criminals need to be brought to justice in The Hague. European countries could easily enforce that by ending all weapons shipments and economic and diplomatic support for the illegal occupation as well as blocking all land, sea and air routes for any shipment to Israel that is beyond food, medicine and other basic necessities for life. Bonus points for threatening sanctions against the Arab states complicit in helping Israel such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Even more bonus points for breaking the naval blockade and allowing unhindered humanitarian access by Sea.

    We have seen with the US that Trump actually doesn’t fight, once someone stands up to him. China stood up to him and he stepped down quickly in the tariff bullshit. Russia isn’t even bothering to pretend anymore and Trump is instead bullying Ukraine on behalf of Russia. If the US would be the only one left supporting Israel in the West, the Arab traitor regimes would also reconsider, if they want to go with the US down this path or quickly switch sides, which is in line with what their populations want.

    The continued treachery of the Arab regimes will blow into their face and has the possibility to bring on a new Arab spring in Egypt and Jordan, which could spiral out of control for Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states quickly. Ethnically cleansing millions of Palestinians into Egypt or Jordan would certainly be the tipping point for these regimes.

    If the EU countries get their shit together, they will realize that they are in the process of setting a region with hundreds of millions of people ablaze by continuing their lackluster response to Israels crimes and could face down a “refugee crisis” compared to which everything before was a walk in the park on a sunny day in May.


  • The regime change in Libya was primarily motivated by France, not the US. It is tied to France continuous presence in its former colonies in North and West Africa.
    There is currently a scandal ongoing in France as the Sarkozy Government was probably bankrolled by Gaddafi .

    The US is far from the only “player” meddling in Africa and West Asia and they don’t need Israel to “order” them in many cases. What is special about the US Israel relationship is that the US is still doing what Israel wants most of the time, even if it is contrary to US interests. Many times their interests unfortunately did align in the past.
