Kelompok menengah perkotaan yang cukup melek, dari kalangan agama maupun progresif, mesti lebih hati2 aja sih, jangan reaksioner. Isu ini berhasil mecah massa di US soalnya.
Ngeliat ada artis yang ngajak ribut @wordfangs perkara boti, gw makin yakin isu gender/lgbt ini ter-orchestrated, pakai playbook menunggangi isu politik identitas sama kayak cebong-kampret 2016-2019.
seekor tapir terekam sedang tersesat di jalan lintas sumatera (lampung).
dia terlihat bingung mau ke mana, hampir bisa dipastikan karena habitatnya di dalam hutan sudah terganggu.
saat ini populasi tapir di indonesia diperkirakan hanya tinggal 400-500 ekor.

British Museum colludes with pro-Israel lobby to erase Palestine from historical exhibits
——
An investigation by Middle East Eye has exposed the British Museum for covertly removing the terms “Palestine,” “Palestinian,” and “Israeli occupation” from its historical displays following intensive lobbying by pro-Israel activists. Internal emails obtained via a freedom of information request reveal that the London institution rapidly altered descriptions of artifacts dating back to 7,500 BCE to appease political pressure groups, including the Board of Deputies of British Jews and high-profile figures.
While museum director Nick Cullinan publicly claimed the changes were part of a standard curation refresh and backed by audience testing, the newly released disclosures confirm that no visitor research regarding the term "Palestine" was ever conducted.
The internal correspondence details a frantic effort by museum staff to pacify complaints lodged between October and December 2024, with one directive explicitly ordering curators to remain hyper-conscious of the anniversary of 7 October. In one instance, a panel describing ancient rulers of “Palestinian descent” was scrubbed and changed to “Canaanite origin” within five hours of receiving a complaint from the Board of Deputies.
Middle East Eye cross-referenced the redacted emails to identify key lobbyists, including right-wing commentators and historians who weaponized access to the museum's leadership to argue that historical references to an ancient Israelite occupation would stoke modern antisemitism.
The targeted erasure has sparked a severe diplomatic and cultural backlash, with Palestinian Ambassador to the UK Husam Zumlot accusing the public institution of betraying its historical integrity to serve political ends. Cultural figures and human rights defenders have condemned the museum for complicity in what the United Nations classifies as an ongoing genocide in Gaza, noting that the bureaucratic deletion of Palestinian history in London directly mirrors the physical destruction of heritage sites on the ground.
Despite photographic evidence showing that references to "modern Palestine" were replaced with "Gaza and the West Bank" at gallery entrances, the British Museum has refused to answer specific inquiries, issuing a blanket denial to Middle East Eye that any erasure took place.
"Most Israelis disapprove of Netanyahu!"
Nobody gives a fuck. No one cares which apartheid political party Israelis prefer. Nobody cares which genocidal political leader they'd rather have as their prime minister. Every Israeli faction is evil and is supported by evil people.
They accomplished this without putting a single pair of boots on the ground, this is why institutions matter.
Iran was able to survive having its leadership decapitated because of its robust instituons. Despite what they want you to think, the Islamic Republic isn’t a one-man dictatorship, its instituons allow for the state to continue regardless of who is at the helm.
Gaddafi’s Libya had no institutions, the “Jamahiriya” was a cult of personality, remove the person and it all falls apart.
There should be no room for anyone who was part of the administration that began, supported, oversaw and funded the extermination of Palestinians and demonized anyone who spoke out against it. If so-called anti-genocide progressives give their support to Harris, or anyone who stood by the Biden admin, then it’s clear(er) that for our ‘left’ Palestinians serve as a rhetorical tool rather than a moral measure.
