On this day in 1942, the Yugoslav antifascist partisan, Stjepan Filipović, was executed by the Nazis in what is modern-day Serbia. Filipović had been a key figure in the 1941 partisan uprising against the Nazi occupation forces and their collaborators. However, in 1942, he was captured by Chetnik collaborators in Valjevo and publicly hung. Even as he was being dragged through the streets of the city, Filipović remained defiant, shouting slogans in support of the partisan resistance. His final words were "Death to fascism, freedom to the people!." This slogan became a rallying cry for the partisan movement and a symbol of resistance against Nazi occupation. Despite Filipović's death, the partisans continued their struggle against fascism and were ultimately successful in liberating Yugoslavia in 1945. 🟡 Join @theredstream 🟡 Boost our channel 🟡 YouTube 🟡 Instagram 🟡 Patreon

Israeli invasions throughout several parts of the West Bank are met with relentless resistance by Palestinian armed groups. In Tubas and Jenin, Palestinian forces blew up Israeli bulldozers with IEDs (improvised explosive devices), a tactic that is being used increasingly often in the current period of fighting. Jenin, a key resistance stronghold, remains a primary target of Israeli attacks. On May 17, Israeli fighter jets bombed the city, and ground offensives occur almost daily. In Tubas, Palestinian fighters responded to Israeli raids targeting several homes. Resistance fighters managed to destroy at least one bulldozer involved in the raid. Footage shows Israeli forces using collective punishment tactics such as destroying infrastructure. Since October 7, the death toll in the West Bank has reached at least 510, all victims killed by Israeli forces. 🟡 Join @theredstream 🟡 Boost our channel 🟡 YouTube 🟡 Instagram 🟡 Patreon

Police have joined anti-austerity protesters in the province of Misiones, Argentina. Officers are now on strike, and Milei's “libertarian” government has had to send federal agents from the capital to try to keep order. Misiones is a strategic province bordering both Brazil and Paraguay. The protests began as a teachers’ strike against low pay and inflation. The police then refused orders to repress the population and instead joined them, citing their own low pay as the reason. A police mutiny is illegal, and if it spreads to other regions, it would be a threat to Milei's power. Numerous Latin American countries have seen a coup result from police mutinies, such as Bolivia in 2019 and Ecuador in 2010. 🟡 Join @theredstream 🟡 Boost our channel 🟡 YouTube 🟡 Instagram 🟡 Patreon

Several European countries, including Norway, Spain, and Ireland, have now made the move to recognize Palestinian statehood. While the US and its allies are busy blocking the UN from recognizing and granting full membership to Palestine, the vast majority of the international community, 143 of the 193 UN member states, already recognizes Palestine as a state. As international pressure on Israel and its allies grows amid its continuing war of extermination against Gaza, along with the ICC’s latest arrest warrants for top Israeli politicians, countries all over the world are pushing for the recognition of Palestine and an end to Israel’s crimes. In response, Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz has ordered Israel’s ambassadors in Ireland and Norway to return immediately to Israel, as Israel becomes increasingly isolated on the international stage. 🟡 Join @theredstream 🟡 Boost our channel 🟡 YouTube 🟡 Instagram 🟡 Patreon

“So if the Palestinians have a complaint, they have to bring it to an Israeli court?” – US State Department Spokesperson Matt Miller told reporters that Palestinians should go to Israel to get justice for Israeli war crimes. Under US protection, Israel has enjoyed impunity, ranging from the 1948 Nakba to the scorched-earth tactics in Gaza today. War criminals in the ranks of the Israeli military enjoy systematic protection from prosecution. Miller condemned the ICC prosecutor's arrest warrant bid for Israeli and Gaza ruling party leaders. When asked where Palestinians can go for legal justice over war crimes in Gaza, he said Israel has jurisdiction over the strip. Miller then confused reporters by saying that the US, Israel’s largest arms supplier, has jurisdiction. 🟡 Join @theredstream 🟡 Boost our channel 🟡 YouTube 🟡 Instagram 🟡 Patreon

US officials are saying the quiet part out loud about the ICC. International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan told CNN that senior US officials were not pleased with the Court's pursuit of Israeli leaders for war crimes. A US official recently lectured him that the institution was “built for Africa and thugs like Putin.” The US has been under fire for its hypocritical treatment of the genocide in Gaza when compared to its stance on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. No US ally has ever been targeted by the ICC in its entire history. 🟡 Join @theredstream 🟡 Boost our channel 🟡 YouTube 🟡 Instagram 🟡 Patreon

Uruguayans held a “silent march” yesterday to remember the victims of the US-backed dictatorship. The military junta ruled from 1973-1985, but the authoritarian period began in 1968. For a country of just 3 million people, hundreds of thousands were exiled, over 200 were executed, and 197 disappeared. As one of the Cold War era dictatorships, the junta had the full support of the US government and coordinated with the other military juntas in the region to capture each other's dissidents across borders. Henry Kissinger had even helped rig the elections before the 1973 coup to ensure that the left-wing “Broad Front” party wouldn't be able to win. Those responsible for human rights abuses were protected by an amnesty law up until 2011 when leftist President Pepe Mujica eliminated it. Mujica was one of the hundreds who were imprisoned and tortured during this period due to his membership of the “Tupamaros” socialist guerilla movement that resisted the military regime. 🟡 Join @theredstream
