🚨 A journalist colleague, @loffredojeremy reached out to the number that had sent death threats to Lebanese journalist @AmalKhalil, asking for comment.
This was the response:
“These are not innocent people… journalists affiliated with Hezbollah… should know that they are destined for death.”
Read that again.
A direct threat is not only repeated, it is justified.
Journalists are being labeled, dehumanised, & openly treated as legitimate targets.
This is not intimidation.
This is the normalisation of targeting journalists.
Amal al-Khalil was reporting from village to village, documenting funerals, destruction, & the human cost of Israel’s war on Lebanon.
She is not a combatant. She is a journalist.
And yet, the message is clear: those who report are being threatened with death.
This is being said openly.
Read the message below 👇
Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found dead after hours of searching under rubble. She was killed in an Israeli strike, after the Israeli army fired at ambulances trying to reach her, delaying her rescue.
She is the fourth journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March.
She was a professional, kind and dedicated journalist, and always a pleasure to run into in the field.
MSNBC Reporter: "Would you be willing to step down to save the people of Cuba?"
Cuba President: "Is that question from you or is it coming from the US State Department?"
The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday
Zuppi was considered a serious contender for pope before Leo was elected last May. That means he carries a lot of weight in the Church, so something like this can't be considered a private, spur-of-the-moment decision on his part but an act that has full Vatican backing.
Netanyahu on Iran war: "We read in this week's Torah portion, 'Remember what Amalek did to you.'"
"We remember—and we act."
1 Samuel 15:3
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Incredible fucking angling to preserve the "No more forever wars" pledge. Imagine having a brain made out of enough sludge to start hooting and applauding when you see this.
i’m so tired of people acting like US soldiers don’t voluntarily sign up for the military cus they’re blood thirsty genocidal freaks who take pride in murdering and raping people
So good that the OpenAI ad is all about human achievements while their entire enterprise is about stealing and bastardizing the history and knowledge from those collective achievements for their individual profit
