Unbelievable. An Argentine fan shouts racist slurs at iShowSpeed at the World Cup.
Just to remind you, only three countries, the US, Israel, and Argentina, voted AGAINST a UN resolution on the slave trade this March.
Max Blumenthal is in Iran, covering the massive turnout of Iranians for the funeral of Ali Khamenei (and his daughter and granddaughters), and somehow has survived despite being an American Jew.
Almost impossible to imagine crowd sizes this large for a modern-day American leader:
Did you know that if you were a British journalist in 1945, and tried to interview a holocaust survivor, you could have faced 14 years in prison for the crime of interviewing a genocide survivor?
Just kidding, that's the policy today for the genocide survivors of Gaza.
I am gravely concerned by reports of a severe deterioration in the condition of Dr. Abu Safiyah.
We reiterate our demands for his release, along with all other doctors being held without charge.
I've just visited the largest funeral in history, where millions mourned Sayyed Ali Khamenei, the Iranian leader who was assassinated by the US-Israeli coalition along with members of his family
It is practically impossible to understand what this scene is like, or what it means, unless you're here. I've met people from around the world who've come to pay respects, including many from across the West. The crowds pouring in are endless, and grow larger and more intense into the night.
From Tehran's Mosala, there are indignant calls for vengeance, displays of sorrow and defiance, protest, songs and marathons of poetry. These days of mourning will amount to one of the most resonant moments in the history of anti-imperialist movements.
Everyone I've spoken to believes war will return to Iran before long, and none trust the MOU with the US. But they are confident their country can deter another assault. They see their own citizens' mobilization as an integral component of Iran's survival.
If the assassination of Khamenei was designed to spur regime change, his funeral demonstrates how badly it has backfired. And the crime may blow back in ways its historically illiterate authors could have never imagined.
What we're witnessing in the Mosala consolidates the Islamic Republic and its revolutionary society as a political reality that can not be erased through regime change war or sanctions. This is a turning point in the region that will echo for a generation.
Einfach unverantwortlich! Über 200 Milliarden neue Schulden wollen Union und SPD im nächsten Jahr aufnehmen. Anstatt damit wenigstens unsere maroden Schulen, Straßen und Krankenhäuser zu sanieren, soll der Großteil für überteuertes Kriegsgerät verpulvert werden. Auf aberwitzige 183 Milliarden will die Bundesregierung die Militärausgaben bis 2030 steigern. Damit fließt künftig fast jeder dritte Euro des Bundeshaushalts in Panzer, Drohnen und Kampfjets. Die Rechnung dafür zahlt der Normalbürger. Um die gigantische Aufrüstung zu finanzieren, die unser Land nicht sicherer, aber die Aktionäre von Rheinmetall und Co. noch reicher macht, kürzt die Bundesregierung Renten und Gesundheitsversorgung brachial zusammen. Allein die Zinsen der Aufrüstungsschulden werden die Steuerzahler erdrücken und den Sozialstaat, wie wir ihn kennen, zerstören. Diese Regierung muss dringend abgelöst werden, bevor sie Deutschland endgültig ruiniert!
If you compare Gaza with the Holocaust, that's likely illegal under German law.
But the governing party can juxtapose the Holocaust with pro-Palestine protests.
NEW TREND
Some Americans celebrate July 4th, Independence Day, by burning the flag of Israel.
Among them is Marine veteran Brian McGinnis, who was previously subjected to harassment for protesting against the war with Iran during a Senate hearing earlier this spring.
