If you wanted yet another proof that Raphaël Glucksmann is one of the most corrosively stupid politicians in Europe - quite a high bar to reach - please watch this.

He says that France and Europe's enemies "have a name and a face, they're called Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Zhang Yiming [the founder of Bytedance]": in other words all the successful tech entrepreneurs out there who aren't European.

I literally cannot think of a stupider way to frame the issue of Europe's competitiveness: literally like a team that hasn't won a match in years declaring the league champions enemies of football.

Bear in mind this guy is, unfortunately, one of the lead candidates for the next presidential elections. Hard to get worse than Macron, but in his case he absolutely would be: basically all of Macron's worst instincts but with the IQ and charisma of a parking meter.

🇫🇷🇮🇱 France’s foreign disinformation watchdog says it suspects Israeli influence firm BlackCore of carrying out digital interference operations not only in France’s March local elections, but also in New York City’s 2025 mayoral race and elections in Scotland, as well as in Angola and Togo.

French authorities previously linked BlackCore to an online smear campaign targeting three pro-Palestine candidates from the France Unbowed (LFI) party. Officials now say their investigation indicates the group deployed similar online influence operations in multiple countries.

France has asked Israel for explanations and assistance in determining who may have been behind the alleged campaign. Reuters reports it remains unclear who directed the alleged interference.

This footage is 35 years old.

It shows how Israel was treating Palestinians decades ago.

The oppression did not begin on October 7; it has been a reality for generations.

Let’s stop calling it settler violence. It is settler TERROR. These criminals roam the West Bank with impunity, and the world stays silent.

Jusqu’où descendra cet homme🧐☝️ II n’a plus rien d’un journaliste mais d’.un militant engagé sans nuances instruisant un procès interminable contre LFI. Sans contradiction .notons le. 🤔Cette émission de LFI voudrait elle rivaliser avec Cnews?

BREAKING: "Greater Israel" is now marketed in London. Like in Montreal and in New York.
Apartheid without borders.

P.S. This explains why criticism of Israel is being restricted (and "anti-antisemitism" laws keep appearing). Apartheid is not only a crime. It is a business model.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

This is one of the most heart-wrenching videos I have ever seen. It shows the immediate aftermath of an Israeli soldier shooting a 7-month old Palesinian baby in the head, stealing his life.

It shows that the car with the Palestinian family had stopped. Yet the Israelis shot.

The father is holding his infant son in his arms as he bleeds to death from the shot to his head. It tears you apart.

This is the daily life of Palestinians under Israel's US-supported occupation.

You never know when you will be shot in the head. It can happen any time, for any reason.

And the world approves.

Israel is Ben-Gvir and Smotrich. And Ben-Gvir and Smotrich are Israel.

And American workers pay for all of it.

The planet's most fanatical Israel loyalists now own and control (or are about to) Paramount, CBS, TikTok, Warner Brothers, CNN: all acquired in the last two years by Netanyahu's close friend, Larry Ellison, right as public support for Israel in the US and the west collapses:

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This is extraordinarily rare.

In fact, according to a key figure in the German business community (who is a dear friend of mine), it's unprecedented.

An op-ed, two pages, centerpiece, in Germany’s most important economic newspaper (the Handelsblatt) that begs the German establishment to stop looking at China via the prism of propaganda. And it's by their Shanghai bureau chief - not some outside contributor.

The title is "The China debate cannot continue like this!" and the article makes the case that it's suicidal, from a German and European standpoint, to keep reducing China to false caricatures rather than facts.

In effect it's rubbish in, rubbish out: if you tell people lies about China - whichever direction they go (anti or pro) - then obviously the policies that come out will be rubbish, designed for a mirage of a country that exists only in people's imagination.

Needless to say, this is absolutely music to my ears because it's literally the main point I've been making in my advocacy around China for now almost 10 years. Some are finally seeing the light...

I also believe, as I argued in my article "Are Western media turning China-friendly?" last year (https://t.co/Xg1hoSRtNy) that this type of coverage was bound to happen, and there will be more and more of it.

Why? For a very simple structural reason: China is now too powerful to coerce. The West, and Europe in particular, just don't have the leverage anymore. Which means that if you tell China to do something and they don't want to, they just won't do it. Period.

In this situation, incapable of coercing, your only remaining choice is... convincing. And what do you need if you want to convince someone? Well, you need to understand them: understand how they think, how they behave, what drives them, what they actually want.

In other words: the moment coercion stops being an option, not only does propaganda stop being useful, it begins to be actively harmful as genuine understand becomes a strategic necessity. Reality is finally becoming profitable again.

Which means, if you're a journalist reading this and you're peddling some of your usual lies, describing China as some sort of cartoonish dictatorial dystopia that's simultaneously on the verge of collapse yet a "threat" to the whole world (in short, if you write on China for The Economist or the FT), be on notice: the real threat to your country isn't China. It's you.

Iran's ability to check Israel's rogue barbarism is precisely the reason why the Israelis are so committed to its destruction.

J'ai fait un documentaire sur le LBD. Nous avons filmé des dizaines de tirs avec @dafonsecapedro. Aucun n'était justifié. Et aucun des émeutiers qui remplissaient les conditions des règles d'engagement n'étaient touchés. Les LBD n'atteignent que ceux qui ne bougent pas !
