If you find yourself asking why isn’t the world doing something to stop the genocide in Gaza and you have not spoken up, they are taking your silence as approval. Whether you’ve 2 or 2 million followers speak up FFS!
Silence is complicity.
Partiledare som blev känd för att ha låtit en lobbyfirma bestämma partiets politik blir sedan själv lobbyist och intervjuar en fd politiker som lobbar för sin nya arbetsgivare – en riskkapitalägd skolkoncern.
Blir inte mer Sverige än detta.
Just 20 minutes before Trump announced the Strait of Hormuz was open—Someone dumped 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures.
A $760 million bet that oil prices would drop.
Orders far larger than anything else in the market at that moment.
They made a fortune.
But somebody knew the announcement was coming.
This is insider trading at the highest level of government.
So, a couple of the boys have been texting me: “Why the hell would Trump drop the Hormuz blockade bomb on a Sunday? It’ll send oil screaming past $120, maybe $130 if the algos really panic. Makes zero sense if you actually want cheaper barrels.”
But it makes perfect sense. Beautiful, even.
See, Tokyo and Hong Kong are already humming by the time the East Coast is still nursing its coffee. Those futures pits—Dow, S&P, the whole equity complex, plus Brent and WTI on the screens—never really sleep. You’ve got fourteen, fifteen hours of runway before the New York bell. Plenty of time for the right hands to lean in: long the indices in Hong Kong, short the crude in Tokyo, riding the fear wave as the blockade tweet lights up every terminal from Singapore to Sydney.
Then, right on cue, before the U.S. opens, comes the pivot. Something about “there’s regime change in Tehran,” “we can do business,” “Talks were Good,” the usual art-of-the-deal baloney. Markets whip around like they’ve been Tasered. Oil gives back the spike, stocks rip higher. The boys in Asia unwind clean, pocket the spread.
A few hundred million, maybe more, conjured out of thin air on the back of one perfectly timed Sunday morning post. Not bad for a morning’s work. The Street’s been running these kinds of games for decades: information, timing, leverage. Just never quite so… presidential!!
SVT skriver om en artikel från the National som beskriver hur Israel medvetet, och som en del av ett folkmord, utplånat en hel familj i Libanon, inklusive tre svenskar. De mördade inkluderar en gravid kvinna och ett spädbarn. National förklarar scenariot, SVT ylar om Hizbollah.
When the Knesset yesterday, passed the law approving the death penalty for Palestinians ONLY, they popped champagne bottles in the chamber as they applauded. You read that correctly.
Not your problem?
It’s complicated?
STILL SILENT?
SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.
The BBC’s decision to cut this section of Akinola Davies Jr’s speech when the #Baftas was broadcast later in the day is shameful.
Thank you Akinola Davies Jr for using your platform to speak out for the rights of migrants and people facing and fleeing from persecution and mass atrocities - from the Congo to Sudan to Palestine.
Two years ago today, Hind Rajab was killed by Israeli forces. She was five years old.
On 29th January 2024, Hind and her relatives were fired on by an Israeli tank when trying to flee to safety. Everyone in the vehicle was killed by the initial attack except Hind and her 15-year-old cousin, Layan.
Layan called the Palestinian Red Crescent but was killed shortly after, leaving Hind on the line.
The two medics who were dispatched, Youssef Zeino and Ahmed al-Madhoun, in a vehicle marked as a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance to rescue her, were also targeted by Israeli tank fire as they approached. They were both killed.
The recording of Hind’s call to the Red Crescent spread across the world.
Hind is one of the at least 20,179 children who have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 2023 - according to the latest reports from the United Nations. The real figure is likely much higher.
Justice for Hind Rajab requires not only her killers to be brought to justice. The architects of the genocide in Gaza must be held accountable too. Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant must face trial at the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Israels ledande människorättsorganisation BtSelems nya rapport om förhållandena i de israeliska koncentrationslägren är vedervärdig läsning: systematisk tortyr, sexuella övergrepp, elektriska chocker, bränning med cigaretter och kokande vatten, slag med batonger, fångar som svälts och nekas rent vatten, attackeras av hundar och hålls inlåsta under jord med dåliga sanitära förhållanden, fastlåsta i tortyrpositioner som i en del fall leder till att lemmar måst amputeras.
Minst 84 palestinier har dött i dessa fängelser sedan hösten 2023, varav en var minderårig. Minst åtta har dött under den israeliska underrättelsetjänstens förhör.
I september fanns nästan 11 000 palestinska fångar i lägren. Av dem hölls fler än 3500 inlåsta på obestämd tid utan rättegång och utan rätt att försvara sig. 350 av fångarna var barn. Efter vapenvilan släpptes omkring 2000 fångar. Men fortfarande finns omkring 9000 palestinska fångar i dessa läger.
Det är naturligtvis fullständigt orimligt att Sverige fortsätter att upprätthålla normala handelsrelationer med Israel eller att våra universitet fortsätter sitt utbyte med israeliska universitet eller att Sverige deltar i ett Eurovision som tillåter Israel att delta.

@FranceskAlbs These images illustrate the Israeli leadership’s contempt of humanitarian aid and social services to occupied and suffering people in Gaza and the West Bank.
The Israeli disregard of the UN , its Charter and Institutions is sadly universally known.
Likely raped to death.
A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics.
Likely raped to death.
The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.
Today, a 29-day-old baby died at Nasser hospital, southern Gaza, Palestine, just two hours after arriving at the MSF- supported paediatric ward in the early hours of the morning. Despite treatment efforts, he could not be saved. According to the Ministry of Health, he died from hypothermia.
"Children are losing their lives because they lack the most basic items for survival. Babies are arriving to the hospital cold, with near-death vital signs: even our best efforts are not enough. They say the war has ended, but people are still having to fight for their lives," says Bilal Abu Saada-Nursing Team Supervisor at Nasser Hospital.
The harsh winter weather combined with the already dire living conditions is increasing health risks and MSF teams are consistently seeing high rates of respiratory infections - something which will only increase throughout winter and is particularly dangerous for children under five-years old
As Gaza is battered by heavy rains and storms, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians continue to struggle in flooded and broken makeshift tents. MSF calls on Israeli authorities to urgently allow a massive scale up of aid into the Strip.
Support the Hunger Strikers!
The British state has used every method they can to isolate and break the spirits of the 8 prisoners who stand with Palestine.
They are now close to dying and the British state does not care.
As Irish people we know hunger strikes. We know British oppression.
We know colonialism.
Stand up - Take Action 🇵🇸
Nu måste Israels attack på pressfriheten ta slut. Det är inte klokt att det har gått över två år och att Israel fortfarande förbjuder oss internationella journalister från att komma in i Gaza. Dela om du håller med.
Israel hasnt been suspended from the UN, other in'l fora, UEFA, FIFA, FIBA or cultural events. Genocide continues because it is normalised.
And then, just like that, accountability in the form of a European boycott begins. Eurovicious no more!

Israel is still blocking tents, blankets and clothing from entering Gaza.
After killing over 100,000 civilians, after committing genocide, after destroying almost every single building.
It's still Israel, a depraved state, that decides what Gazans can and cannot get.
Meanwhile Blair and Trump, two war criminals, are now backing up a fanatical Israel.
