To correct the record: Rep. Espaillat did not reach out to me or my family when I was detained or during the months that followed. He only contacted my team nearly a year later, after Darializa publicly challenged him. As I've said before, it's unfortunate that he chose to prioritize AIPAC's interests over those of the people living in his own district.
Not a single peep from the likes of the BBC or CNN, the same outlets that were reporting on the Iranian women’s football team three times a day.
Western media doesn’t care about women’s freedom in Iran, Palestine or Lebanon unless it can be weaponised to serve their narrative.
Auch Robin hat geschwiegen, als seine grüne Parteifreundin und Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock im Bundestag Israels Bombardierung von Schulen und anderen zivilen Zielen gerechtfertigt hat. Und dafür die Waffen lieferte.
I’m not sure this is understood in the West, so I want to emphasize:
Al Risala are Lebanese *Boy Scouts.*
They belong to the Lebanese Scouting Federation, the local affiliate of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.
The US affiliate is the Boy Scouts of America.
After Al Risala Scouts turn 18, they often become Scout leaders who serve as EMTs, firefighters, and search-and-rescue teams.
In the past 2 months, Israel has killed 27 Al Risala Scouts, Troop leaders, and associated young adult rescue workers.
Here are some of young Scouts killed by Israel. Neither the Boy Scouts of America nor the World Organization of the Scout Movement have condemned their murders.
Breaking: Bundesregierung verhindert Sanktionen israelischen Minister Smotrich
Bei einem Treffen aller EU Staaten forderten gestern Frankreich und Italien Sanktionen gegen Itamar Ben Gvir und Bezalel Smotrich. Zwei Regierungen verhinderten sie: Tschechien lehnt jede Sanktion ab. Und Deutschland will allein gegen Ben Gvir mitziehen, gegen Smotrich aber nicht.
Deutschland schützt also einen Mann, der sich selbst einen „stolzen Homophoben" und einen „Faschisten" nennt. Der nicht nur ganz Palästina annektieren will, sondern ein Israel bis Damaskus, das Jordanien, den Libanon und große Teile Syriens annektiert und der als Finanzminister die rechtsradikale Siedlerbewegung mit Geld unterstützt.
Lügenfritz. Schwachkopf. Flintenweib. 1 Pimmel. Suffkopf. Hirnloser Krapfen.
Dafür gab es in Deutschland wahlweise Hausdurchsuchungen, Strafbefehle, Ermittlungsverfahren.
Nachdem Deutschland nicht in den UN-Sicherheitsrat gewählt wurde, werden jetzt die ersten Stimmen laut, die Zahlungen an die UN einzustellen. Wenn es eines Beweises bedurft hätte, dass Deutschland in diesem Gremium nichts zu suchen hat, dann ist es dieser!
🇵🇸 “The term ceasefire has been used as a surrender cudgel against the Palestinians in Gaza,” Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill explained on Sky News.
Jeremy noted that Israel signed a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, then violated it repeatedly by killing more than a thousand Palestinians and advancing deeper into Gaza, while the international conversation shifted to demands that Hamas disarm, despite it never agreeing to do so in the signed agreement.
Israel “signed a ceasefire with Hamas, not with the children in tents that they continue to burn alive,” Jeremy said.
His remarks came as an entire family of five was burned alive in new Israeli strikes on residential apartments in Gaza City tonight. (See linked post below.)

Remember when proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was being justified by government ministers on the grounds that one of them had violently attacked a police officer…..
The difference between you and Hasan Piker is that 10 years ago you were a literal Neo-Nazi that called for the genocide of non-white people on a daily basis.
Hasan, despite all his flaws, never went through a neo-Nazi phase in his life.
A Canadian Sumud Flotilla participant explains that on April 29-30, Israeli forces fired a shot between 2 crew members, held and searched them at gunpoint, and then destroyed the boat's engine and communication systems before setting them on course towards a storm.
"Please let me be clear. The intentions of the Israeli military was to kill us and the crews of two other boats."
🔴 Less than a week after Israel burned several preteen children to death in their tents, four more residential apartments were set ablaze overnight, with Israel’s military burning entire families to death as they slept.
The strikes hit homes in Al-Shati refugee camp, the Karama neighborhood, Tel al-Hawa, and Sheikh Radwan in Gaza City.
Obviously condemnable behavior but interesting to see this panicked tactic out of the GOP for a vote that they could just whip against and move off of. Mast and Miller are not exactly superstars heading down there to make the sales pitch, they’re the true believers
paywall is finally down on my friend's brilliant essay! it's about the pseudoscience of "historical trauma" and how it gets politically weaponized. he's been researching this subject for years and he's genuinely changed my thinking. I hope you read it!
