Israeli forces detained 5 Palestinian kids - at the request of Israeli settlers. Their crime? Gathering wild vegetables.

The young boy who tries to save his friend at 0:15 shows more courage than the entire international community.

Shame on all of us.

“Don’t Be a Sucker,” a film made in 1943 by the U.S. Department of War, shows how fascists weaponize prejudice to divide and take over nations.

Today, the Israeli military dropped a bomb on children in Gaza waiting for food supplements.

This is the result.

You want to look away, don’t you?

Even if you do, you cannot escape the fact that your government is facilitating this abomination.

Do

Not

Look

Away

Our message is simple but urgent: If we allow the independence of courts and lawyers to be compromised today, our other rights will become negotiable tomorrow. https://t.co/LWpjTsqnan

@eoinmauricedaly She's a neurologist, not a psychiatrist. You can only get a diagnosis for ADHD with a psychiatrist.
Her argument was very thin on concrete facts, just what she thinks.

We are living in a dangerous and unprecedented moment in American history.

I’m getting a lot of calls from people who are not only upset about what’s happening, but are wondering how we best go forward.

Here are my thoughts:

Dutch MP Stephan van Baarle “Amsterdam was terrorised. Maccabi thugs were able to riot nearly undisturbed, while our police watched & our parliament was silent. The people of Amsterdam were abandoned. Instead, violent racist thugs were cast as victims.”

Did you know that the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) violently targeted Irish immigrants in the USA during the 19th and early 20th centuries as they arrived in waves from the Great Famine onwards.

The Irish were characterised as sub-human, violent, alcoholic disease spreaders who relied on theft and charity to maintain their massive families. The Klan even questioned their "whiteness."

Cementing all this prejudice was religious intolerance. The KKK maintained that Catholics were an "unAmerican" enemy within, who swore loyalty to Rome and the Pope over the USA.

Labour tensions further stoked anti-immigrant sentiment against the Irish who were heavily involved in labour movements and often competed with native-born workers for jobs, especially in industrialising cities.

By the 20th century, Irish Americans had started to gain economic and political influence, especially in cities and powerful institutions such as the police force. The KKK’s revival in the 1920s brought a focus on so-called “100% Americanism."

This blended with a wider nativist movement that influenced the U.S. immigration policies, such as the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924. The Klan stoked popular fears the newly established Irish-Americans would erode Protestant influence over US institutions.
