This is remarkable and incredibly worrying for democracy. A French government agency detected interference from an Israeli firm in the Scottish Parliament elections, but the UK Labour (friends of Israel) Government won’t release more info in case it harms relations with Israel.
BREAKING: A court will seek to sentence four Palestine Action activists found guilty of criminal damage as terrorists even though they were not convicted of terror charges, in a move kept secret from the jury.
@SpacecraftingCG@bigorangemichae Jesus, take a day off. Also, it has very heavy antiwar messaging, especially questioning the morality of bombing civilian populations and, despite being made during the Cold War, Russians are the good guys. One of them is literally saved by his belief in the revolution
@LondonLabour@ZackPolanski My Labour councillor @Martin_Abrams was suspended by the party for voting for an immediate ceasefire and the end to human rights atrocities in the Israel/Palestine conflict. He's now in the Green Party, and if he's standing again, he will still have my vote.
Watching Amazon Prime while the Iranians burn.
Stuffing our mouths with cheesysugarbacon
while the sky turns black over Tehran.
Laughing without smiling.
Laughing with full mouths and empty eyes
while their water mixes with oil and blood.
"Hoho this will hurt Trump in the midterms"
the liberal chortles,
masturbating furiously
while ruined parents pull ruined schoolbags
out of ruined schools.
Frolicking on lawns with hamburgers in both fists
doing patchouli tai chi
in clothes made by slaves
as black rain waters gardens
of severed limbs and blown-out eyeballs.
This is our culture.
This is our religion.
Praying to Pornhub while children scream,
telling ourselves it will all be worth it
when Iranian women can do OnlyFans
to pay for boob jobs and butt lifts
and go to Capitalist Heaven when they die.
Jizzing Taco Bells and bail bonds firms
all over the global south,
our bellies full of the flesh of children,
our veins full of plastic
and our mouths full of Lexapro,
dancing at the ballroom covered in blood and brains,
gyrating to AI-generated music
cranked up to maximum volume
to hide the sounds of the explosions
and the gasps of our dying souls.
Oh I'm sorry,
am I bumming you out?
Have a hamburger and a Xanax.
Everything's fine.
This is all normal.
Let's pick the bits of skull and teeth from our hair
and go party.
An unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.
Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before the president as a gesture of cooperation.
Then, at the last moment, the United States abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to turn around and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.
What followed was even more grotesque.
After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had thrown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.
This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.
It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.
And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.
The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear.
Israel says the number of dead is around 50,000. But the catch is that they killed most of the health officials who were doing the counting.
A Harvard study estimates 400,000 Palestinians have effectively disappeared.
Because when you bomb every ministry, every hospital, and every database, the only thing left is silence… essentially cleaning up their tracks of any evidence left of the genocide.
Say the real number: half a million Palestinians have died as a result of Israel's actions. Reporting the death toll as 50,000 is genocide denial.
