"The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinian people, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity" - Anthony Bourdain on the dehumanizing coverage of Palestinians 🇵🇸 in the media.
My brother Maurice & his best friend Killian were killed on the A5. Two of the nicest people you could meet.

NI will never move on while people like this get a weekly TV platform to spread hatred
Larry and David Ellison who own Tiktok, Paramount, Oracle and many Media establishments have called Mark Ruffalo antisemitic because he called out their support for evil and murder.
Antisemitism is what they have when they have nothing.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
Irish rap trio Kneecap won’t back down on Palestine. And they’ve even channeled the British state’s attempt to silence them into their fiery new album, “Fenian.”
