This week’s column is on how white groups that claim a ‘two tier’ state are mimicking and coveting the language and movements of ethnic minorities.

@MelissaMunro1 @novaramedia Oh god no worries!

“They’re looking to bring media organisations down.”

Peter Thiel, the billionaire co-founder of genocide-linked software company Palantir, is funding a new startup that allows rich customers to file complaints against journalists using AI.

Objection’s own co-founder Aron D’Souza predicts that journalists won’t exist in 20 years’ time.

“This all comes at a time when journalism is under threat like it’s never been under threat before,” says @MaloneBarry on Novara Live. “It’s a really scary time.”

[thelefttake @thelefttake]

The constant self-induced state of fear, paranoia and isolation that the average right-wing chud lives in can only really be understood through the occasional visualisations into their terrified imaginations we get when they make shite like this.

Do they not go outside at all?

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Completely inaccurate tropes used here. I’m assuming “thrown off a bridge” is a variation on the bad-faith “thrown off buildings” accusation you hear about the Muslim world when, in reality, it was ISIS that did this. It has happened nowhere else.

It’s just never-ending. Heading for three years of this.

“Ireland didn’t qualify for the World Cup, but you know who did? The Ivory Coast.”

This Irish pub flipped its flag to support Ivory Coast at the World Cup.

They have never actually given a shit about Henry Nowak or his family. He’s nothing but a pawn for them.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Do you know how sick these far-right people are? They found out that Henry's nephew is mixed-race, and they're racially abusing the child and calling the mother a “race traitor”.

He only ever uses this level of aggression with female journalists, never the male ones.

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: TRUMP ANGRILY STORMS OUT OF NBC INTERVIEW.

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

Theo Von appeared visibly shocked during a podcast conversation with former CIA officer John Kiriakou as they discussed the killing of US journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was shot in the face by Israeli forces while reporting in the occupied West Bank.

Kiriakou described the incident as an example of Israeli military conduct in the occupied territories, stating that Abu Akleh was clearly identified as press when she was killed with a sniper.

Von repeatedly reacted in disbelief as the account was presented.

The conversation also addressed the aftermath of her killing, including the funeral procession in East Jerusalem where Israeli forces attacked pallbearers, and used batons and stun grenades against mourners, with Kiriakou describing officers storming the area and attacking attendees during the service.

The killing of Abu Akleh has since drawn widespread international condemnation, with multiple human rights organisations concluding she was likely targeted by Israeli forces and calling for accountability that has yet to materialise.

[Zoe Kennedy @zoekennedy]

The antisemitic comments in response to this is astonishing, by people who seem to think they aren’t because they like Israel. Also, the homophobia and misogyny directed toward Miriam Margolyes.

Michael Gove warns it's "genuinely dangerous" to be a Jew near Gaza Protests.

We spoke to Jews on the Palestine march in London.

Not all Jews support Genocide, to say otherwise is textbook antisemitism:

You must read Ben De Pear's superb, very moving, article about Jon Snow in today's Observer. It tells you so much about Alzheimer's, and about Jon: https://t.co/sCcOSQrfGS

I enjoyed this conversation massively. Negar really unpacked Iran and its people with a level of detail that's all too rare in much of the media.
