The preferential treatment makes more sense when you learn that his father, Dr. Ryung Suh, was an elite army officer in the medical corps, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a top VA official who later got rich off VA contracts.
Macklemore's support for HEAL Palestine directly benefits injured Gaza children. Last night, he met four injured Gaza children who attended his Paris concert. Saher, 8, Hala, 19, Dima, 16, and Malak, 7, They thanked Macklemore for supporting Palestine and the children of Gaza.
U.S. Senator Chris Murphy just confirmed the U.S. has a plan to restart the war that involves striking civilian infrastructure in Iran . The plan, which he describes as “insane,” is a plan of war crimes & crimes against humanity & those who developed it should be held to account
It's an antisemitic conspiracy theory to say that the ADL is an Israeli spy organization, but they are literally admitting they are an "intelligence" operation that is spying on Americans and punishing them if they speak out against Zionism and Israel.
This story is not getting enough attention, even though it is a dark portent of the political repression on the horizon all around the NATO bloc.
Five activists who damaged an Elbit Systems site in Ulm, Germany, are facing harsher treatment than the Reichsbürger, a far-right group accused of attempting to overthrow the German state by force. The two trials are being held in the same building.
The Ulm5 are held in a maximum-security prison, marched into the courtroom in handcuffs, and seated behind bulletproof glass two meters tall. On day one, the judge switched off the microphones of the defence’s legal team, and has since repeatedly refused to hear their evidence and expert witnesses, while rejecting a motion for an independent stenographer to keep a record of the proceedings. The only written record of the trial is the judge's.
Meanwhile, the Ulm5 all remain in prolonged detention — with stints in solitary confinement. The prosecution is seeking to argue that the attack was antisemitic in nature, as Elbit Systems is a “Jewish-owned company” and therefore the “baby killers” graffiti drawn by the activists amounts to blood libel.
The case sets a chilling precedent for any actions taken against German militarism, and no doubt forms part of a wider arc of repression that now extends from Britain to Italy. That is why the activists’ call for international solidarity and support is so urgent.
Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1
This war is on an endless loop because of a US administration that wants total surrender from a country - like most rationale countries - that will not bend the knee after being unlawfully attacked. The PR from Iran tho is 🤌🏽
Buried on page 30 of 'Sir' David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment. Astonishingly fraudulent crisis/debate, all to shield a genocidal state
Check out the level of detail here in this footage as seen through the Pentagon's Palantir Maven targeting software. Those who fired the Tomahawk missiles at the Minab School in Iran could have literally seen the little kids skipping to school before they launched those Feb. 28 attacks.
Given the character of the people presently running the U.S. Department of War a legal inquiry should consider the extent to which the Minab elementary school bombing may have been intentionally engineered.
Q: What you’re saying is that for political reasons, hostages died, were murdered in captivity when they could have come home alive?
Netanyahu’s former military secretary: “That is accurate. They could have come home earlier.”
Yesterday, an ICE agent opened fire in Marble Hill. They shot a member of our community in the neck while he was in his car. His five-year-old kid was in a child seat in the back of the car when ICE agents fired at least 7 rounds into it. This was in the middle of the afternoon, with children walking home from school and people heading home from work. Federal agents put every one of them in danger.
When I was in Marble Hill last night I saw NYPD officers rapidly escalating violence. As I was trying to de-escalate, I was shoved to the ground by an officer. I witnessed unmarked law enforcement cars hitting protestors as NYPD officers pushed people out of its path. And instead of condemning ICE’s violence, Police Commissioner Tisch attempted to justify the shooting by reading off our neighbor’s past interactions with police.
The NYPD spent more time protecting a militia that just shot someone than protecting New Yorkers. Last night, the NYPD and Commissioner Tisch violated the spirit, if not the letter, of our sanctuary city policies and fueled the Trump Administration’s attempt to demonize our communities. The NYPD’s Strategic Response Group must be disbanded as quickly as possible, and Commissioner Tisch must step down.
In this district, there are mothers who are afraid to send their kids to school, workers who are afraid to show up for their shifts, and people who won’t call for help anymore because they can’t be sure who will come. That’s what it means to have a violent militia operating in your community. You don’t feel safe walking down your own street.
For decades, we’ve been told ICE can be fixed with more oversight, better training, or reform. But you can’t reform an agency whose purpose is to terrorize immigrant families. You can’t train cruelty out of a system built to enact cruelty. ICE must be abolished.
This moment demands that everyone step up. Elected officials at every level need to stop hedging and say it plainly: Abolish ICE now. Our city must enforce every sanctuary protection we have and city officials must ensure this cannot happen again.
What racist nonsense: as if Middle Eastern men are radically different from westerners in seeking justice or retribution.
One Iranian official uses the word "revenge" and these supposedly intelligent analysts decide Iranians only seek revenge in dealing with adversaries.
One reason George W. Bush famously went to war against Saddam Hussein was because, "he tried to kill my dad!" I guess W. is Middle Eastern man....
