From the Anti Imperialism discord server:

IMPORTANT: As every libshit wanker is busy talking about stupid “muh Greenland” shit, Israel has started a mass extinction level biological warfare against Palestinians in Gaza. They have infected rats with a hand designed artificial virus and let them free in Gaza to kill all remaining Palestinians.

Meanwhile Russia has emptied its embassy in Israel, USA is chasing a Russian vessel in Atlantic ocean possibly going head to head in a naval warfare against Russia, Iranian “protestors” have AKs and Grenades and attacking police stations in literally every minor city that hosts an Iranian missile program and nowhere else. Israel is building up for a war and UAE is talking about hosting Israeli bases.

Every one of westoid’s ultimate plans end-world plans are going on without any pushback and even a peep of protest in the west. We’re very closely approaching the end or perhaps the beginning of WW3.

    Do you have a source for the “hand designed virus” claim?

    Of course Israel is conducting biological warfare but rats can spread diseases in conditions like what they are experiencing in Palestine without it being made in a lab.

      They dont really need to hand design viruses to make Palestinians sick, them flattening the entirety of gaza does the job for them.

      • I do not think they are saying the virus is not part of the genocide that is obvious the OP mentioned “[Israel] have infected rats with a hand designed artificial virus” and they are asking for evidence of that claim vs the, a virus has just run rampent. There is no reason to make something that is already uncontionably evil turn into cartoon viliany all that does is loose our credibility

    I feel like today things are kind of popping off on grad. I have seen a lot of posts that arent materialist in nature (no sources) and are very strongly worded. This doesnt help the people here understand the problem, neither does blaming western comrades. People in the west are working overtime in educating, building resilience and keep going at the same time. Its antimaterialist to put blame on them and calling them names isnt respectful. Lets talk about facts that we can prove:

    • there is a genocide being conducted for a long time with the support of nato states
    • the conditions for people in palestine are so cruel that a lot of people would outright faint if they saw it
    • people around the world are working to stop this, slow it down or somehow mitigate the ongoing genocide

    Everything else that is provable will need to get pushed, made public and carried through the golden media dome of the west. In the meantime, i will keep in contact with palestinian liberation movements and listen to their suggestions and educate myself and others further. That is what I can do and that is what I suggest others to do.

      It doesnt help that marxists in the west cant swing their magic wand and create the perfect material conditions for mass revolution even the Bolsheviks could only do the october revolution after the carnage of first world war and not before.

        Yes, one needs to study the circumstances of revolution in itself to understand how it develops i guess. I’m kinda loving the idea of studying in china to get a better idea of it but we will see if that is possible. We definitely will not just kick off a revolution tomorrow because people get genocided. Not because we dont want to but because even if we were thousands in eg germany (which we are not) and united (which we are not) and could overwhelm the hypermilitarized state (which we cant) and could seize the military power (which we cant) and could just march on palestine (which we cant) we would still be annihilated with nuclear bombs by either nato or the occupational force in palestine.

    Does the poster think that Israel trained hordes of rats to bite Palestinian children as a disease vector? Isn’t that what rats already do?

    The thought is incredibly grim but the rats are most likely mistaking sleeping Palestinians for corpses and trying to feed, to which the rat bites are causing infections as a result of inadequate sanitation, hygiene, and medical facilities.

    i mean, the rat stuff sounds pretty weird, because:

    1-rats usually are filthy creatures and vectors of disease

    2-palestine is a place basically destroyed and filled with cramped and weakened people in a place pretty dirty with war debris

    3-rats are known to attack living beings that they perceive as being vulnerable, and what’s more vulnerable than a kid sleeping basically on the floor in a warzone?
