@5149jamesli Now that America has control of venezuelan oil and the region, they will attack Iran. This will cause shocks in the market but now that they have control of venezuelan oil, those shocks will be absorbed.

[Patrick @Patrickj2017]

@RepMTG Exactly, take control of Venezuelan oil now to absorb shocks in the market when they attack Iran next. Who controls America? not its people.

[Patrick @Patrickj2017]

@kennardmatt @kennardmatt if America controls Venezuelan oil and have control of the region, trade routes,...they will be able to absorb any shock in the market when they go for Iran - which is the goal. This is Israeli-American doing. It goes further than Venezuela.

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!

“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”

Oxford Union Trustees Threaten to Shut Down Debate Society Over Palestinian-American Author’s Speech on Israel

On November 28, 2024, the Oxford Union hosted a landmark debate on the motion: “This House Believes Israel is an Apartheid State Responsible for Genocide.” The proposition passed overwhelmingly, 278 to 59.

Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa was among the lead speakers, alongside writer and activist Mohammed El-Kurd and Israeli-American activist Miko Peled. But after the debate, the Oxford Union edited Abulhawa’s speech—removing key sections critical of Zionism and historical atrocities, despite assurances it would remain unaltered.

Now, according to TRT World, the Union’s board of trustees is threatening to shut down the society altogether if Abulhawa’s speech is reinstated in full.

Abulhawa’s closing line at the debate was: “You will not erase us.” Listen to an excerpt of her remarks below.👇🏼

On this day in history. The Declaration of Arbroath, probably the most important and influential document in Scottish history and considered by UNESCO to be of world significance, was dated 6 April 1320: making it 705 years old today. More pics and info: https://t.co/zJSPK9EYzH

Listen to Michael Fakhri UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food:

‘This is not a ceasefire by any definition…[it] is a slowing down of military violence but a continued unfolding of death by starvation’

Israel 🇮🇱 is a pariah

Ban 🇬🇧 arms sales to 🇮🇱

Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN.

@GaySexGang @loganstevensxxx What a dream

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Trump 🇺🇸 casually reveals the intent to ‘clear out’ Palestinians from Gaza 🇵🇸 to Egypt 🇪🇬 and Jordan.

It’s illegal annexation by Israel 🇮🇱
It’s racist ethnic cleansing
It’s a crime against humanity.

Recognise Palestine 🇵🇸 today, before it’s too late.
