Israel just attempted to assassinate the great Steve Sweeney while he was reporting from Southern Lebanon
Relieved to hear Steve is recovering
The terrorist regime that has murdered hundreds of journalists over 2-3 years will never recover from this
Breaking: @MarkJCarney's government just voted against Bill C-233, which would have stopped the flow of weapons to Israel via the United States loophole. Canada has chosen to protect those profiting from genocide. We will not forget how MPs voted in this urgent moment.
Hasan responds to the Iranian diaspora celebrating their own country being bombed, as hundreds of Iranians are now dead from U.S. airstrikes
"I can't go back to Turkey.. because I am critical of the Erdogan regime... but no matter how much I hate Erdogan...You will never see me defend U.S. intervention in Turkey, it is fkn disgusting."
"How can you see, your countrymen/women die, directed by the American state and then think this is gonna lead to a positive result? Insanity"
all this account does is post clips of what Zionists gleefully and publicly say at their meetings, conferences, shows, without any shame or hesitation, and it is always the most deranged genocidal death-cult Jewish supremacist mania you have ever heard in your life
Focus on Iran has let Israel off the leash in Gaza. Hundreds of people were waiting for food, and the IDF dropped two bombs into the middle of the crowd. Tanks fired at the fleeing people as snipers picked them off. At least 72 now confirmed dead. They’re barely even bothering to deny it anymore.
“Canada has clear legal obligations to intervene.”
“Canadians what are you doing?”
“They’ve killed 17,000 children. How can we speak of self defence in this context?”
@FranceskAlbs does an interview following press conference about 🇨🇦 charities involved in Israeli apartheid.
This video has now been removed for “violating X rules,” after 500,000+ views. Apparently the ruling class really doesn’t want you to see it.
We’ll keep posting it until they stop doing it.
In years to come, students in university departments around the world will be studying the propaganda embedded in this headline.
As someone who regularly lectures in sociology, journalism and media studies, I could teach an entire lesson on the title alone.
For example:
1. Treating the 4 Israeli soldiers as more important than the 23 Palestinian children (by leading the story with their deaths and just chucking in the others at the end) implies their lives are of higher value.
2. Infantilizing active duty soldiers as "teenagers" while not emphasizing the age of the schoolkids, despite many of them being demonstrably younger.
3. The classic use of the passive voice: Israelis are "killed" while Palestinians merely "die".
4. Putting scare quotes around "23 die" subtly undermines the credibility of that claim. Maybe no one died, and the Palestinians are just lying?
5. Using the word "attack" for Hezbollah actions, but choosing a more neutral, clinical word like "strike" for Israeli aggression.
6. Allowing Israeli sources to dictate the framing of the story ("Israel names teenage soldiers") etc.
7. Actually naming the Israeli soldiers, but not doing the same for the far greater number of Palestinians, again sends the message to the reader that Palestinian lives don't matter nearly as much, if at all.
It's truly incredible how much propaganda has been packed into 16 words. We are swimming in an ocean of propaganda. That's why it is crucial to deconstruct it and critically assess everything you read, see and hear.

Gasol has been effective in P&R here early. This is a great play by Kyle Lowry. Attacks downhill which forces Looney to commit. The footwork and the fakes are huge, watch the step through which gets Looney to commit again, quick dumpoff to Gasol for a bucket.
