Despite its role in undermining the rule of law in Pakistan—or, perhaps, because of it—the TLP has maintained a close relationship with the Pakistani military and the government. It is widely understood in Pakistan to be a tool of Pakistani intelligence that has been used to incite protests that could serve various domestic political purposes. Only when the group turned critical of the state’s emerging policy towards Palestine did the security services lash out.

The crackdown has elicited little sympathy from many in Pakistani civil society who had justifiably opposed the TLP for its attacks on minorities and enforcement of barbaric blasphemy punishments. But the military turning on one of its own closely-aligned organizations over the subject of normalization with Israel sends a strong message about what could happen to other sectors of society that publicly oppose the widely unpopular move.

Up until October 2025, the TLP had only called for a few small demonstrations in support of Gaza. In early October, it appeared that Pakistan was beginning to play a role in the Gaza ceasefire when the prime minister tweeted in support of Trump’s ceasefire plan as one of the “Muslim countries” supporting the deal. Rumors started circulating that Pakistan would be normalizing ties with Israel. On Friday, after the ceasefire was signed and Sharif traveled to Trump’s Egypt summit, Rizvi announced his plans to march towards the U.S. embassy in Islamabad during his prayer sermon.

Over the weekend, thousands of TLP members gathered from various areas of Punjab and started making their way up on the Grand Trunk Road towards Islamabad. On the outskirts of Lahore, thousands of protestors faced stiff resistance from the police, who fired at the protestors with tear gas.

But it was Pakistan’s support for Trump’s Gaza deal that threatened domestic stability most significantly.

RIght, so you can hang someone for blasphemy, but can’t vouch for the Falastinis, in Pakistan?

Tbh, the most offensive part about this is his military background and use of r-word

Mabuhay sa Falastin, pero , at kahit yung comprador na gobierno ng

When we take a bite of it, it will show likely bl- I mean jam.

I feel for you ES :meow-hug:

I think if the libs had a frame of comparison, it’d be like that time Ukraine gave off weapons to civvies during such conflict.

Albeit, unlike Ukraine, hopefully this time, the Venezuelan gov’t gave their people gun training and discipline.

I say why not both,

it is ‘uniquely evil’, because of it both being extraordinary material product of ‘geography and circumstance’, which encourages it, and what the perpetrators decided to do with it (whom it encouraged)

Any human, let alone group, in my opinion can be as uniquely good or evil to one another, but when they are enabled by giving them the material tools they need to reshape the world in their favor, they can show themselves to be that force of good or bad.

If a system that encourages dispossession and destruction of past modes of production and livelihoods, to make efficient exploitation of people’s labor for Capital, creates a group of people who uphold such designs, especially at the expense of others

Then I tell you, while those people may be uniquely evil than the average person, at the end of it, they’re not more evil than what the system does.

However, there are some signs that the UAE is growing frustrated with Israel.

An analyst familiar with the thinking of Emirati officials told MEE that the UAE was upset by Israel’s unilateral attack on Iran earlier this year. Whereas the UAE has long been at odds with Hamas, it has tried to influence the Palestinian Authority, which exercises limited governance in the occupied West Bank.

They’re following after Biden and Trump… it would be more comedic, save for the fact they’re talking about the ‘practicalities’ of occupying and ethnically cleansing the West Bank.

No I cannot

I forgot this was not fahrenheit - gee wiz the unstandard way is worming in my brain.

Sometimes you just take it all in that this is your life, this is your surroundings, and this is where you’ll be for the foreseeable future, just before you get up, to work, eat, and sleep.

Do not trust the shaytan al akbar.

So that’s what Bruce the shark was doing.

In other words, Israel has taken notes from Amerika’s media landscape, but I think moreso with the “flood the zone with shit” before they debunk it thing.
