Journalist: “You've said that Russia should repay for reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you believe Israel should repay for reconstruction of Gaza?”
EU chief spokesperson: “I have no comment at this stage.”
*Days later, the journalist is fired*
The President of South Korea said a video of the IOF tossing a Palestinian child off of a roof reminded him of Japanese crimes against Koreans during colonialism and the Holocaust
israel says this “trivializes” the Holocaust. As if Koreans and Palestinians are inherently cheaper
Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.
So, the Catholic Church having moral opinions on American policy is intolerable, but Israel having enormous influence over American policy is apparently fine.
That tells you everything you need to know about American Protestantism.
Ganda nung sabi ni Joel Butuyan (counsel for Duterte's victims). Duterte is a cancer which has metastasized into mini-Dutertes. Kayong mga DDS, mga cancer kayo ng lipunan.
War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading. The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined. #Peace is no longer sought as a gift and a desirable good in itself. Instead, peace is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one’s own dominion. This gravely threatens the rule of law, which is the foundation of all peaceful civil coexistence.

While we acknowledge and appreciate the humanitarian gesture of the People's Liberation Army Navy Luyang III-class guided-missile destroyer with bow number 174 in providing a bottle of water and three packs of biscuits to distressed Filipino fisherman off the coast of Zambales—a notable contrast to the barbaric, illegal, coercive, aggressive, and deceptive actions often employed by the China Coast Guard against Filipino fishermen—several critical points must be emphasized:
First, the Philippine Coast Guard received no prior information from the PLAN regarding the location or condition of the fisherman who reportedly received this assistance.
Second, the fisherman was safely moored to a Floating Aggregate Device (FAD) or “payao” and awaiting pickup by their mother boat. Claim that he had been adrift for three days is inaccurate. The service boat departed on a fishing trip on December 24 around 3:00 p.m., and the fisherman was located by the PCG and the mother boat the following afternoon—less than 24 hours later.
Third, the PLAN destroyer had no legitimate reason to operate within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The reported location of this alleged humanitarian act—at coordinates 14°33.470'N, 118°52.120'E (approximately 71 nautical miles west of Silanguin Island, Zambales)—falls well within Philippine’ EEZ.
Finally, we hope this incident is not exploited as propaganda by China. Instead, it should serve as recognition that Filipino fishermen have full rights to fish in the waters around Bajo de Masinloc. We hope that the PLAN, unlike the China Coast Guard, ceases endorsing the Chinese Communist Party's unfounded claims to the entire South China Sea based on its invalid "ten-dash line."
I express my closeness to the people of the Philippines who have been hit by a violent typhoon: I pray for the deceased and their families, as well as for the injured and displaced.
