��� CAUGHT ON CAMERA: THE SHOOTING THAT KILLED 7 MONTH OLD SAM ABU HAIKAL
Newly obtained footage exposes the moment the Abu Haikal family came under Israeli fire. Seven month old baby Sam Abu Haikal was killed, while both of his parents were wounded.
The video clearly shows the family’s car slowing to a stop when an Israeli soldier opened fire. A seven month old baby was killed in an attack that the footage appears to show was carried out without any immediate threat from the vehicle.
@HalBrands@ForeignPolicy@AEI Don't deal with the way the world is,deal with it the way you wished it was.
"a US military that has performed impressively" - really?
#URGENTE Ayudemos a difundir la lucha del pueblo digno de #Bolivia !!!
El gobierno de #Bolivia aprobó una ley que autoriza al presidente respaldado por #EEUU., #RodrigoPaz, a desplegar al ejército contra los manifestantes.
Las fuerzas policiales y militares bolivianas han lanzado una operación conjunta para despejar los bloqueos de huelga en San Julián, departamento de Santa Cruz, mientras una huelga general de cinco semanas contra el neoliberalismo continúa paralizando al país.
La represión contó con el respaldo total del gobierno — varios ministros llegaron para lo que se pretendía como una oportunidad fotográfica declarando la victoria sobre el movimiento.
En cambio, comunidades enteras se movilizaron, obligando a las fuerzas de seguridad a retroceder después de más de cuatro horas de resistencia sostenida en la carretera.
Las movilizaciones, que exigen la renuncia del presidente Rodrigo Paz, han dejado al menos diez personas muertas, 37 heridas y más de un centenar enfrentando procesos judiciales, según la Defensoría del Pueblo.
Mientras tanto, en El Alto — la ciudad indígena que rodea la capital — se están celebrando asambleas populares diarias donde las comunidades votan sobre la estrategia de huelga y evalúan el avance del movimiento. Una nueva forma de democracia de base está tomando forma en las calles. Es asi como se defiende la patria.
¡La Patria No Se Vende... Se Defiende!
New piece out today with Dmitry Dubrovsky in Times Higher Education.
We look at the recent campaign against @I_Katchanovski and argue it was based on politics, not scholarship.
The Ukrainska Pravda letter is an attempt to “rally the ranks”and enforce the “one true” explanation of the war. This just increases the securitisation and moralisation of Area Studies.
When we start denouncing colleagues as “enemy scholars” instead of engaging their work, we’re heading down a dangerous path.
When we abandon professional judgement and shut down plurality, then what exactly is the point of academia?

@ListeningP0st@pplsartofwar Govt. been quite explicit about need for a national AI and its key role on future competitiveness.
Russia will follow the Chinese model of intellect over capital to make good enough models. Then build higher order systems on top that create new sources of value.
@rrespectorr@Th_n0s@varrock@MayaStone420 "always planned to" - can you back that claim up?
Think western claims that the two are natural enemies is cope. Huge advantages gained from league peaceful nation on ones border that one can trade fairly. That's meant to be the capitalist ideal isn't it.
@Nthnghss@Th_n0s@varrock@MayaStone420 Official status is "comprehensive strategic partnership" ushering in multipolar world.
Don't need to be allies, neither requires the other to defend them directly militarily.
@markku60906522@ConciousLabRat Ok, you're just ignorant and borderline racist. So I'm going to mute you.
Enjoy your little garden paradise. I'm sure it will be even better when you don't have any industry polluting it because you don't have any nasty Russian hydrocarbons to keep it running.
@markku60906522@ConciousLabRat I didn't ask what percentage of its exports did I? I asked what percentage of its GDP.
Good to know Europe's energy problems were "solved" before the Iran war started. What do you think might have caused this then?
@markku60906522@ConciousLabRat You appear to have bought into the fallacy that Russia has only oil and gas exports. What percentage of GDP do you think it represents?
It takes time to build the infrastructure to export to Asia and RoW but that's now happening. Who's building the cheap energy EU needs?
