"Envy no one. For whatever you see, a price was paid."

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

A Minister shows off gallows built for Palestinians only: the genocide continues.
Still no sanctions on Israel.
Why?
Because it's under our skin, the system we belong to: ams deals, tech contracts, pension funds, lobbies, abuses, impunity.

Left untreated, apartheid metastasizes.

When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.

The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.

India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.

Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.

The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.

So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.

Governor Abbott,

Government should never discriminate against any religion—but neither should it mistake reasonable accommodation for religious favoritism.

A small ablution facility, paid for by private individuals, is no more an “establishment of religion” than nursing rooms are an establishment of parenthood, kosher meal options an establishment of Judaism, vegetarian options an establishment of vegetarianism, or accessible restroom facilities an establishment of disability. They are practical accommodations that allow ordinary citizens to use public facilities safely and with dignity.

And in this case, any traveler, of any faith, could use the facility to wash their feet—something, I suspect, quite a few weary travelers would appreciate.

Muslims are not asking airports to endorse Islam. They are asking for the same principle that has long guided our nation: people of different faiths should be able to practice their sincerely held beliefs while participating fully in public life.

As Texans, we all benefit when our public institutions are welcoming to everyone. Protecting the religious liberty of one community strengthens the religious liberty of every community.

There is no “Shariah takeover” of Texas. It is deeply disappointing to see you amplify this false trope about your Muslim constituents in order to appeal to anti-Muslim sentiment. The closest thing we have to a Muslim takeover of the Lone Star State is the proliferation of shawarma and falafel shops—along with a few truly outstanding halal Texas BBQ joints. Any time you would like to actually talk to your Muslim constituents, I would be happy to meet you over some meat at any one of them.

What makes this episode especially ironic is the glaring double standard. In 2017, you signed legislation restricting Texas governmental entities from contracting with companies that boycott Israel. In other words, Texas has been willing to condition access to government contracts on a company's commercial conduct toward one particular foreign country. Yet a privately funded facility designed to accommodate the religious practices of some Texas citizens is suddenly portrayed as impermissible religious favoritism.

Why the radically different standards? Why is accommodating the religious needs of Muslim Texans treated with suspicion, while the State of Israel has been afforded extraordinary statutory protection?

Governor Abbott, this latest manufactured controversy—and the continued willingness to use Muslims as a political foil—may well serve short-term political purposes. But elections are not the final measure of public leadership. Eventually, all of us will return to our Lord and be judged by Him. And history has an uncanny ability to revisit the moral failures that politics once rewarded.

Do you really wish to be remembered as the George Wallace of our time?

I am a proud Texan, Governor Abbott. I was born here. I studied here. I graduated from here. I married here. I work here, I live here, and I pay my taxes here. Texas is my home.

I respect the office you hold. But your repeated willingness to malign and marginalize your Muslim constituents has, sadly, caused me to lose my respect for the man who holds it.

This is Zionism: They murder Palestinians, steal their land and send foreign settlers to take their place.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

It is just matter of time before they respond of their crimes: soldiers, ministers, bureaucrats, finance, tech and weapon companies CEOs, in Israel and beyond. For it we must keep pushing from all sides, sparing no efforts, for justice in all corners.

mu aunt worked there. when I was a kid, I would sometimes go with her to help. my cousins peddled trinkets to tourists along the road just beneath it, overlooking Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives.
foreign Jews have slowly been taking over our homes and lands in elTur, including my grandfather's home and many acres of Waqf land. now they're taking over the iconic Seven Arches.
thievery is in their DNA.

Tal Yinon Dardik, the settler who allegedly attacked a Palestinian village, stripped a man naked, zip-tied his penis and paraded him around in front of his family, was just freed from house arrest after lobbying from Israel’s Defense Minister.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Israel is so evil that simply stating verified facts about things the IDF indisputably did can be presented to an uninformed audience as an antisemitic conspiracy theory solely because it sounds too evil to be true.

I feel like I’ve been watching the government try to murder the population of New Orleans my entire life.

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

imagine what it's like for Israeli Jews. It's so deep and vile that it has destroyed their souls. Jews will be the last to awaken wholesale, and when they do, they'll begin to see how zionism ate their own young and rotted their souls.
Those soldiers losing their minds aren't suffering from PTSD. What they're feeling are the last vestiges of their humanity in the throes of death.
