Can you we just take a moment to think about how diabolical the Israeli pager terror attack in Lebanon was? They planted electronics with bombs. It’s insane how this was glossed over by mainstream media.
BREAKING🚨 @guardian journalist admits he fabricated entire story about Iran stoning women in 2010.
This is exactly the kind of lies that manufacture consent for war.
Yet the guardian still has a fake story up about there being women and children in Sednaya prison Syria.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
🇦🇺 This is what remained of Zomi Frankcom, the Australian murder by Israel.
She was an aide worker with “world central kitchen” trying to feed the kids that Israel was trying to starve. That’s why they killed her. The murder occurred a week after the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to ensure the unhindered flow of aid into Gaza.
She survived the first bombing of the world central kitchen car, running for her life to the second car, which was minutes later hit by a second missile. Some survivors of the second strike boarded the third car, which was in turn struck by a third missile. All seven aid workers were killed, and their bodies were sent to al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza.
When Zomi’s family asked if the Australian government requested the tape recordings of the IDF drone operators during the murder, they were told “it doesn’t matter because they are in Hebrew”. How can there be justice when the Australian government is controlled by Israel?
Foreign minister Wong @SenatorWong will never kick the Israeli ambassadors out. Instead she invites Israelis spies into ASIO headquarters.
If you call yourself a Nationalist, and you don’t talk about this, you are a nothing. Your country is occupied by a foreign power, and you don’t even say a word.
Still find it insane that in the days following October 7th we were made to believe we had to sympathize with people living outside of and even holding music festivals next to a concentration camp.
There is no shortage of issues regarding FIFA. Let me start by clarifying what some of these are from an FA perspective, in particular that of Jordan going into a World Cup for the first time.
We are a small country with a minimal budget for our FA and had to deal with enormous hurdles. First, getting our fans into the USA: not all were granted VISAS, even though they had tickets -which we also know were sold at exorbitant prices. Secondly, we are being taxed by the US govt through FIFA for our participation. Money that should go to players and staff. This was not the case for those who played and set up camp in Canada and Mexico. But we happened to be in the USA so now we face these huge costs in taxes for having participated.
Thirdly we have been waiting for reward money for our players since December for the Arab cup in Qatar, which is a FIFA event. The money our team should receive for having reached the final has not been delivered yet, while at the same time FIFA brags about how many billions they have in reserve.
It is clear the problem really is with leadership. For months, FIFA has been refusing to help us on any of these or other matters- until it was verbally communicated to me during the World Cup that if I endorsed Infantino it would go a long way to helping our FA out.
We pride ourselves in Jordan in upholding ethical values. We did not endorse him before and certainly will not now. But the whole situation amounts to blackmail and we refuse to give in to that.
C’est la première fois de ma vie que je vois un fleuve de sang sous mes yeux… Et pourtant, on continue à scroll comme si ce génocide était devenu légitime
