I am a great fan of James O’Brien but I think this attack on Sangita Myska is out of order. Her silence clearly suggests she is bound by a confidentiality agreement and is therefore unable to respond and refute his version of events.
Happening now: Israeli tanks have entered the northern West Bank after 40,000 Palestinians were expelled from three refugee camps in the Jenin & Tulkarm areas. There's a real and present danger that these camps will be erased. This genocide must be stopped. By us all. Now!
It’s not a ‘development plan’.
It’s an ethnic cleansing plan.
As @mehdirhasan implies - accurate language is critical.
If we don’t, the public will (rightly) never trust established media again.
Whether it’s Israel or Hamas, human rights violations can’t be ‘both sided’.
Silicon Valley is a fraud.
DeepSeek eating ChatGPT, etc.’s lunch should be an eye-opener for you.
They lapped US AI behemoths, w/ none of their budget, & God knows how much less computing power.
Since I know you need Pop Culture references, this is basically what happened:
Someone Asked China's DeepSeek AI for an analysis of the genocide in Palestine (using neutral terms so as to not preemptively tip it towards giving me an answer it thinks I want) and instead of tossing its hands up and calling it "delicate and complicated" it ripped into so-called Israel”
Those who defended this are treated as mainstream, respectable moderates.
Those who opposed this are treated as hateful, dangerous extremists.
The world is turned on its head.
With no accountability, this depravity is normalised and the world will burn.
The BBC continues to treat everything that's happened in Gaza as some kind of mysterious natural disaster. No mention of who is responsible for the death and destruction.
Biden says this because he thinks it will spare him from the savage judgement of history
But all he's done here is confess that he knew Israel was committing grave war crimes, and continued to arm and support it anyway?
This is a confession of complicity in genocide.
