"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.
The south of Lebanon is not a “war zone.” Dahiye is not a “Hezbollah stronghold.”
These are the places people live. The cafés and restaurants where friends meet. The shops people rely on. Homes, schools, businesses, neighbourhoods full of life.
But as we see here, much of the media describes them in military terms, erasing the people who live there. Calling entire communities “Hezbollah strongholds dehumanises civilians and turns vibrant neighbourhoods into acceptable targets in the public mind.
This language is not neutral. It helps manufacture consent for the bombing of civilian areas by presenting them as little more than extensions of a “militant” group, rather than places where hundreds of thousands of ordinary people live their lives.
When the people are excluded from the story, the bombings become easier to justify.
BREAKING:
Israeli settlers are burning Taybeh in occupied Palestine.
A village that has stood for thousands of years.
A place where Jesus once walked.
Home to the oldest living Christian community in the world.
And not a peep from Western mainstream media.

Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.
This video of Israel’s latest war crime is being systematically suppressed by Twitter.
I screen recorded the moment the platform removed 19 retweets from the post — evidence of Western war crimes being targeted by Elon’s algorithm.
Minutes later, it removed 21 more retweets👇
Netanyahu orders Israeli army to seize 70% of Gaza. This would mean that the 2.2 million Palestinians who have survived the war would be crammed into less than a third of their original territory. “It is the single most overcrowded place on earth.” https://t.co/si20C54yeg
BREAKING:
Israel just dropped bombs on the Qaraoun Dam in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley — a key water reservoir serving civilian populations across surrounding villages.
This is not a battlefield target.
It is a critical water infrastructure.
This is an act of genocide.

If 9 Jewish paramedics were killed ANYWHERE in the world it would be called terrorism.
And we’d never hear the end of it.
Israel slaughtered 9 paramedics in 72 hours, most of which we’ve seen on film, and we only hear their names on Twitter.
I love Tyre.
It is a truly beautiful place and you can't scrape the ground anywhere without disturbing ancient archaeology from the heart of the great Phoenician civilisation.
Israel is carpet bombing it.
@bravooomg Promising at the beginning but as we get into it I’m struggling to like anyone but Alicia. At least two don’t seem authentic with their backstories. These women have watched too much ‘Housewives’ and are acting like they think they should rather than who they are.
