palestine

the flag of the state of palestine

the state of palestine is a country located within the southern levant. following the creation of the ideals of zionism, the zionist entity, the “state of israel,” would go on to illegally take over palestinian territories following the unjust partition plan that was set by the united nations following world war ii, advocating for the creation of the apartheid state we know as “israel” today. many of these colonizers usually resort to defending their state’s existence by claiming that they do not involve themselves in palestine today (e.g. the gaza strip since 2005), or by straight out claiming that their state had existed before the existence of palestine by claiming the state of israel is the spiritual successor to the kingdom of israel. recently, the justified incursion into the zionist entity on october 7th, 2024 following decades of occupation would lead to an incredibly massive flare up of the genocide of palestinians within the gaza strip, with support for israel primarily coming from the united states and the united kingdom.

democratic republic of the congo

the flag of the democratic republic of the congo

the democratic republic of the congo is a country located within central africa. it is the largest reserve of cobalt in the entire world, making it an incredibly important country in terms of production. because of this, in a neo-colonialistic struggle to gain resources from none other than the united states and the united kingdom, the us and uk would give financial and military aid to the neighboring countries of uganda and rwanda in order to moderate these resources. the workers of these mines are forced to work, as it is either work, or be slaughtered. or for women and young girls, this usually leads to rape. an average total of 48 women and girls per hour are raped in the congo.
