Nuthin but a Tea thing

Not just Heidi Levine:
Canadian journalist Fin de Pencier was pepper-sprayed by settlers today, during an olive harvest in Burqa, Ramallah.

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.

"For me as a Palestinian, Zionism is racism. Zionism is genocidal. Zionism is sociopathic. Zionism is all about ethnic cleansing for a group of people at the expense of another. If I were not Palestinian, if I just happened to be a Jewish person, I would have lived with all my rights granted. No one would have questioned me, no one would have come after my land, my country, to kill us. So if that is not racism, then what is? Ever since I came to the UK, I've been hearing some bizarre ideas: 'Zionism means different things to different people'. Zionism means only one thing. And it means one thing to the people that it was manifested at. Zionism means genocide and death."

"its not about a few settler attacks, its about the settlement occupation project, to make Palestinian lives harder & harder, to force us to leave our land.. its co-ordinated with the Israeli military.."

Heidi Levine from @washingtonpost was kicked and beaten by gangs of Israelis disrupting olive harvest:
".. I don't know how parents can raise such monsters."

In honor and loving memory of Maryam, my cousin’s granddaughter, who was killed by the Israeli army on this day.

I am absolutely convinced that if Israel fired a nuclear missile at Tehran, around ninety percent of the British political and media establishment would explain in grave tones why it was necessary, if regretable, and that those who object are vile extremists and antisemites.

I listened to Mariam speaking. She kept repeating the same heartbreaking words:

“I want my mum.”

“My body hurts.”

“There was a lot of fire.”

Andy Burnham deliberately conflating Anti-Semtism with Anti-Zionism makes Jewish people like myself, less safe.

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

Palestinian farmers in the village of Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, confront Israeli settler attacks targeting them during the olive harvest, refusing to give up their land.

[Sameh Ahmed 𓂆 🇵🇸 @PalPress24]

This is what Israel’s Channel 12 published — Amit Segal:

“All this for Gaza… MK84 bombs weighing one ton each.

This footage shows the beginning of the military buildup for Gaza in 2023. This shipment was rushed to Israel from a U.S. military base in an Arab country that Palestinians consider a sisterly nation.

The shipment traveled through the Arabian Gulf, crossed the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, and eventually arrived at the port of Ashdod.”

This story is extremely important:

A whistleblower revealed that Brazil's far-right Bolsonaro family dynasty met with Meta to discuss US plans to interfere in Brazil's election, to prevent Lula from winning.

Lula's Facebook and Instagram accounts were censored a few days before the first round of the presidential election.

This had a huge impact on the election, because Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, which are all owned by Meta, are the most popular apps in Brazil, and are hugely influential all across Latin America. (Jair Bolsonaro's son Flávio was declared the winner of the first round of the vote, by a narrow margin.)

Meta later admitted that Lula's accounts had been restricted, but it claimed that this was supposedly due to a "technical error"...

The whistleblower who disclosed this is Nadia Beller, a Bolivian journalist who was almost killed by hitmen hired by Fernando Cerimedo, a far-right Argentine political operative who oversees election interference, bots, and disinformation campaigns.

Cerimedo is closely linked to the US government and has worked for pretty much every right-wing leader in Latin America. He was photographed with Donald Trump Jr. and members of the Bolsonaro family, and he received an award at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida a few months before he was arrested for the failed assassination attempt against Beller, his pregnant ex-girlfriend.

It’s helpful to see where the only red lines in British politics actually are.

There are parties with councillors who want to establish concentration camps for migrants and machine-gun helpless refugees in the open seas, but this is what Labour considers beyond the pale.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

After the West watched the Rwanda genocide unfold without intervening, it apologized and promised never to make the same mistake again.

It hasn’t. This time western capitals actively assisted in helping Israel commit genocide.
