𝟰𝟰.

That's the number a soldier wrote across Ahmad al-Hathnawi's forehead during the raid on Qabatiya last Monday. He'd already been detained four times before — this was the first time anyone reached for a marker.

Around 50 people were held in that house near Jenin that day, women among them, blindfolded, while soldiers numbered foreheads and arms. The Israeli army didn't deny it happened. Its statement: lessons have been learned.

They said something close to that in April too, when women let back into the ruins of Jenin refugee camp had their hands numbered to sort them by neighborhood. And in 2024, in Hebron. And in 2002, in Tulkarem — when a Holocaust survivor serving in the Knesset called the practice "insufferable," and the army's own chief of staff ordered it stopped.

That was 24 years ago.

The marker still comes out. The statement still reads the same. The pattern is the story here, not just the one photo.

..that in itself should be a statement. Not out of awe, or amazement of human technological progress. But rather, of the immensity of colonial resource extraction in a land continually in limbo.

While the foreign courts debate on its status, the capitalists continue to sink their teeth deep into its soil, into its rock, into its land. And this conveyor belt is but a tool, a tangible sign of its exploitation. It being seen from space is evidence enough of how immensely problematic the Moroccan exploitation towards the Sahrawi people is.

𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗧: Due to the limited information released during the day of the incident, there have been discrepancies found with the written article and official information—the edited version of the article can be found in the substack, while the social media posts remain as they cannot be edited. Apologies for any discrepancies.

"𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙘 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨.

The negligence of yet another law enforcement agent has led to the deaths of two more children and a teacher. And yet the government still cannot admit its own fault in almost enabling these shootings and senseless violence.

Is it really a coincidence that the generation raised during an era of normalised violence have come to embrace that same violence upon reaching the age that they can physically carry a gun and pull the trigger?

This is no longer an isolated case, it is a trend inherently linked to the former administration's agenda that "some people needed killing" and a worsening direction that the current administration is failing to address.

The story of Mindoro is akin to how it got its name, a corruption of what should have been a cash grab. The shrapnel from the bombs dropped by the AFP helicopters will be the same ones mined by the foreign corporations once the indigenous tribes are long gone from their land.

Stemming from a long history of human rights abuses and borderline war crimes, the Armed Forces of the Philippines does not fail to be the attack dog of the capitalists. The courts and local government makes it their agenda to be the corporations' lap dogs too.

Unless the Filipino acknowledges the injustice and the violence, the Mangyan will suffer the bombs. Bombs of greed which will drop until what only remains are craters on a land that used to be unmolested.

The Tagbanua are no stranger to the capitalist grip creeping their lands. For in their prideful history, the fight against bureaucratic capitalism comes with it.
‎
The Tagbanua in their fortitude is still engaged in an active decade-long legal land battle even to this day.

‎Long before the issues of Pax Silica and the illegal Aeta dumpsite relevant of today. The Tagbanua faced and fought against these exact same problems encountered decades ago.

To surmount the unbearable, one must always realize that it begins with a few. For Castro, he said "I began the revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I would do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith"

All revolutions, drivers of social change, must remain faithful all throughout the arduous journey of emancipatory end.

That despite overwhelming odds, Castro remains as a figure of hope from history for the future.

Workers, farmers, students, citizens alike were already aggrieved when the State imposed unto the masses its irrational fears through bureaucratic channels and state enforcement. So much for constitutionality, especially to Manila. Whenever the urban poor, the hungry, the prejudiced take it up to the streets—Isko calls them vandals, hooligans, good-for-nothing troublemakers. But when the morally bankrupt religious organization floods the streets of Manila, its mayor would even lend its hand by opening up a mobile soup kitchen.

For the worker is “permitted” to celebrate their won struggle, only so long as the worker remains within the limits prescribed by the state. From which the state draws its fears of a strong, united working class.

And now, the PNP has issued 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 to Jerome Adonis, Jacq Ruiz, and James Anajao. Working men and women, who have toiled for the emancipation of their classes from the talon-grip of the bureaucrats, the capitalists, and the state.

As working men, and women—as students who will be offered to the sacrifice of capital exploitation as we opt to passively pass through its mechanisms, there is only one thing to do in the face of insurmountable injustice.

Four operations. Three continents. Four decades. Same three tools every time: pay the sending government, exploit a legal loophole, then launder the transfer through a "humanitarian" front that keeps the state's name off the manifest.

Morocco's king sold his own people — $100 to $250 a head, brokered by Mossad, bankrolled by American Jewish philanthropy. Iraq's Jews were told they could leave, but only after surrendering their citizenship — while a string of still-unexplained bombings hurried the exodus along. Ethiopia's Beta Israel were airlifted out as heroes in the headlines, then spent the next three decades fighting Israeli rabbinical courts just to prove they were "Jewish enough" to bring the rest of their families in their new homes.

Call it rescue. Call it return. The receipts call it something else.

Swipe through for the full breakdown — operation by operation, decade by decade.

People would rather not revolution in their rationale that "it would be too difficult", and rebuilding society from nothing but rubble is not worthwhile—and yet, Algeria defied those odds.

As Frantz Fanon said: "For a colonised people the most essential value, because the most concrete, is first and foremost the land: the land which will bring them bread and, above all, dignity."

That the indignation of living in a land you have no rights to—while those who are not from it do, is just cause to throw the revolution into the streets for it will be embraced by everyone.

Over the past few months,
'conservative' social media pages has invaded the algorithm, frantically preaching forth their conservative Filipino values that they claim wokeism sought to eliminate.

Yet one rather inconvenient question remains:𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁, 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘆, 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲?

𝙄𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙫𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙗𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙮, 𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙭𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙢, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙜 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙁𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙤.

What happens next is instead of the Filipino people being presented with a genuine representation of Filipino conservatism, we got a cheap imitation of Western conservative media echochambers, embodied within the likes of and other try-hard 'conservatives' filled to the brim with contradictions and the lack of proper knowledge to even maintain a light discourse even amongst their own ranks.

Ideas may be imported, certainly, but they must be situated within the historical and material conditions of the society that receives them.

Otherwise, what presents itself as “Filipino conservatism” becomes nothing more than 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝘄𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴, 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲.
