Journalists at the @nytimes saw a photo of a man being tortured, so naturally they reached out to the people torturing him to get their permission to report on it and give them the first word.
If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.
When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.
And, separately, it will be important as public anger rightly increases, for all the Minnesota and national Democrats--who boosted ICE, proudly celebrated arming and growing ICE, taunted Republicans for being too weak on immigration enforcement, and bragged about building this fascist infrastructure--to make it seem like a bad apple situation and not the predictable consequence of the tens of billions they voted for and the shameless rhetoric they peddled fear-mongering about immigration and how the solution to supposed problems was more violent immigration enforcement.
Knowingly lying to manufacture consent for Biden’s genocide and telling the truth only when out of power is morally worse than being a true believer.
Genuinely evil stuff.
As Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives in Alaska, US journalists and commentators are beside themselves that their president is rolling out the red carpet, on US soil, for a foreign leader wanted by the International Criminal Court.
Self-awareness: Zero.
The IDF is telling Israeli media that the US directly coordinated with Israel for these attacks, at the exact same time that the White House and State Department are claiming Israel acted on their own.
For the extreme right, the only legitimate Jew is a genocidal Zionist, the only authentic Muslim a fanatic Jihadi, and the only true Christian a xenophobic, maniacal white supremacist.
Any who diverge from these templates are in their view engaging in race treason.
In this example one particularly mediocre far right character berates Pierre Poilievre, leader of Canada's opposition Conservative Party, and a rather right-wing politician himself, for having the temerity to extend an anodyne Ramadan greeting to Canadian Muslims.
That the equivalent of "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah" can't pass without comment kind of tells you everything you need to know about contemporary far-right culture.
@IdoHalbany To say an entire country belongs to you, and you alone, because you can trace a single ancestor to that country is actually the essence of Zionist logic.
When college students protest to end genocide, the ADL calls for militarized police across campuses. When the richest man in the world gives a nazi salute on national television, they tell everyone to calm down.
The ADL may not care about the safety of our communities, but we do. Our movements aren't going anywhere.
We keep us safe.
