People keep asking the Iranian players if they support LGBTQ rights.

Why doesn’t someone ask the U.S. players if they support the U.S funded genocide in Palestine?

Truth

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Zack Polanski, "When I studied history at school. Tudors, Romans, a bit of WWII. I don't remember talking about empire or colonisation"

Historian William Dalrymple, "It is possible to do at A'Levels modules on the British empire, but very few people do them"

"Which means most British people are entirely ignorant for what is for better or worse the most important thing Britain ever did"

"Britain drew it's empire, completely changed the face of the world over the course of 300-400 years"

"Not only did they change it within a local European context, but they completely upended flows of global trade and eco-systems which had existed for millinia"

"For most of history, India and China dominated the world economy, and Europe was an add-on"

"They were producing about 70% of the world's GDP, that's still the case in the 18th century"

"When we're looking at the world today, China already the world's number two economy, and India about to be number three overtaking Japan and Germany"

"What we're seeing is a reversal of the trading system to a pr colonial period - it's taken 80 years since the British left India"

"We're seeing the world recover form this brief blip where Europe smashed its way around the globe moving populations and natural resources around, looting some places, bringing wealth to Europe"

"If you look at the big National Trust country houses, if it's a big palladian house, the sort you'd see in a Jane Austin Sunday night drama"

"If it's on the east coast of the country, quite probably it was built by the East India company money, in other words the looting of India"

"If it's on the west coast, near Liverpool or Bristol, it's more likely to be slave money, from the Caribbean"

"These two sources of wealth brought capital into Britain, and cotton into Britain, which was then milled in the industrial revolution, which gave the seed capital for Britain to accelerate massively through the industrial revolution"

"Which catapulted England from an upper middle position in Europe"

"It transforms Britain and the world"

"But what gives us great prosperity often detracted from the prosperity of the looted countries, or countries that have been plundered for enslaved people"

"And it remains a strange quirk of our history system that we learn more about the wives of Henry VIII, than we do about the entirely looting of India, or the Caribbean slave trade"

"Two crucial moments in Britain's and the world's history"

"The reason we don't learn it, is because when the British empire ended, it became something people stopped talking about"

"By the time you get to Monty Python in the 1970s or late 60s, the Empire is a joke"

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The Israeli press are reporting that police documents on the security for the October 7 2023 Nova music festival were mysteriously deleted at some point in early January 2024. The Jerusalem Post reports that “it is unknown who removed them and whether copies still exist.”

A new article from the Israeli outlet YNet reports that the IDF had planned to kill an Israeli soldier who was captured by Hamas in 2006, with one document stating “Hannibal in effect.” The Hannibal Directive is an Israeli military protocol ensuring that extreme measures be taken to prevent Israelis from capture by Palestinian resistance groups, even if it means killing the Israelis.

Israel’s Channel 12 has shown footage of Israeli officers demanding that the Hannibal Directive be implemented on October 7 to prevent hostages from being taken by Hamas, with a senior officer saying “(Strike) Gaza. Break it all apart. Along with the soldiers who got abducted.”

Many Israeli soldiers and civilians are on record saying that Israeli forces fired upon their own people on October 7.

How many of the 1,195 people killed in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood were actually killed by Israeli forces? We don’t know, and we’re not allowed to know. Electronic Intifada’s Asa Winstanley has argued that the number was in the hundreds.

Did Israel deliberately leave its people undefended from an impending Hamas attack in order to advance pre-existing agendas? We don’t know, and we’re not allowed to know, but there are mountains of evidence indicating that they did.

Ask why there’s been so much violence in the middle east these last three years and you’ll be told it’s because of October 7.

Ask why October 7 happened and you’ll be called an antisemite.

Ask what specifically transpired on that day and you’ll be called a conspiracy theorist.

It’s just so crazy how often apologists for Israel and the western empire will cite October 7 as the spark that set off all these wars of far-reaching consequence, but it’s taboo to talk about exactly what happened on that day, and it’s taboo to talk about how Israel’s abuses provoked the attack.

The official mainstream position on October 7 is that Hamas killed 1,195 Israelis for no reason other than because they are evil and wanted to kill Jews, and that anyone who suggests it may have happened for actual material reasons is an antisemitic monster. Whenever anyone spouts the official mainstream position on October 7 at me I just want to make “goo goo ga ga” baby noises at them until they shut up and go away, because such people are not thinking like adults.

Everyone who’s been watching Israel’s behavior since October 7 now understands why Palestinian resistance fighters carried out October 7 in the first place. We’re expected to avert our eyes from the glaring plot holes in the official narrative and never suggest that Israel’s horrific abuses of the Palestinians may have played some role in giving rise to the attack, but after watching a live-streamed genocide month after month after horrifying month, we all know October 7 was just Israel reaping what it sowed.

And we know there is no evil these freaks are not capable of.

Yahudi İzleyici: (ağlayarak) Konuşmanız sırasında Yahudilere yönelik birçok kez Nazi benzetmesi yaptınız. Bu son derece incitici. Bu, Nazi rejimi altında gerçekten acı çekmiş olan insanlar için çok aşağılayıcı.

Norman Finkelstein cevap veriyor:

— Bu tavra artık saygı duymuyorum. Gerçekten duymuyorum. Bu timsah gözyaşlarından hoşlanmıyorum ve onlara saygı da duymuyorum. (Dinleyicilerden alkışlar ve yuhalamalar yükselir)

— Yabancı bir dinleyici kitlesi önünde "Holokost kartını" oynamaktan hoşlanmıyorum ama şu an kendimi buna mecbur hissediyorum. Rahmetli babam Auschwitz'deydi. Rahmetli annem Majdanek toplama kampındaydı. Ailemin her iki taraftan da tüm üyeleri katledildi. Annem ve babam Varşova Gettosu Ayaklanması'na katıldılar.

— İşte tam da annem ve babamın bana ve iki kardeşime öğrettikleri dersler nedeniyle, İsrail'in Filistinlilere karşı işlediği suçlar karşısında sessiz kalmayacağım! Onların acılarını ve ölümlerini kullanarak; İsrail'in her gün Filistinlilere karşı işlediği işkence, vahşet ve ev yıkma suçlarını meşru göstermeye çalışmaktan daha aşağılık bir şey düşünemiyorum!

— Bu yüzden artık bu gözyaşlarıyla sindirilmeyi veya baskılanmayı reddediyorum. Eğer zerre vicdanın olsaydı, burada döktüğün o gözyaşlarını Filistinliler için döküyor olurdun!

@RichRaho Hopefully, they've got his email address. As a lay person, you have to write a letter, print it, go to the post office, and hope (against hope) the Papal Household people choose to deliver it to him. Unless you're lucky enough to get a reply, you will never know if he saw it.

Shocking

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

En Arizona (EEUU), una policia racista estadounidense agredió brutalmente a una mujer latina embarazada de 9 meses, que estaba maniatada con las esposas, en un centro de detención.

Vean el "pais de la libertad" en toda su esencia, un régimen policial supremacista blanco que persigue y agrede a las personas por su color de piel o por su lugar de nacimiento, ya sea el ICE o la policía, son pistoleros raciales.

Gordon’s scarred back exposed the brutality of slavery over 160 years ago.

Today, Palestinian Mohammad Abu Tawileh’s tortured back tells a similar story. Different time, different place—but the same logic: dehumanization, domination, and violence justified in the name of power.
