Tanta lucha feminista, tanto quemar fajas y sostenes para que el progreso sea él marcando bíceps y sugiriendo paquete y ella a punto de fundar Nebraska con los Ingalls.
Tanta lucha feminista para acabar con el vestido de los domingos de tu bisabuela.
Bismillah.

Sabes en q marchas NO se ven banderas Palestinas?

Palestina importa una mierd4 en Palestina, x eso cuando sus "Mártires" caen, los envuelven en la Bandera de Hamas y no en la de Palestina.

Porque lo único q los anima es eliminar a Israel.

ESO ES HAMAS.

[Aizenberg @Aizenberg55]

Gaza's story of the year remains ignored: Hamas & PIJ have admitted themselves that FIFTY-NINE of their combatants used the press vest as cover. Once, any Israeli claim that a "journalist" was a combatant was dismissed as propaganda. Now dozens of confirmed cases—still ignored.

I lived in Stockholm. I lived in the house of a Holocaust survivor. Six years a prisoner in three different extermination camps. Sweden was a safe haven for many survivors, not everything went well, but it was a home for those who lost everything.

It is with sadness and outrage that I see posters in the shop windows of Stockholm as if we were in the 1930s in Nazi Germany.

Deeply saddened by the horrific terrorist attack at a Greek Orthodox church in Jordan, leaving at least 7 dead and 34 injured.

Where is the international outrage? Where are the protests? Where are the celebrities and human rights activists who have something to say about EVERY incident in Israel and Gaza?

Christians are being slaughtered and persecuted across the Middle East, yet the world is largely silent. We see the hypocrisy.

Why is the media working so hard to avoid showing any Palestinian flags in the riots in France?

德国 DW 电视台拍过一部关于巴黎郊区移民的纪录片。
镜头对准了生活在同一片区域的两个群体。

一边是大约七万人的法国华人。
在巴黎北郊的欧贝维利耶，他们建起了欧洲最大的服装批发中心。
这批人的生活方式很简单：
起早贪黑，开小作坊、看店、跑货运。
赚了钱继续投入生意，遇到难处自己想办法扛。
平时低调安静，很少向政府伸手要特殊补贴，也不上街制造混乱。
几十年下来，越来越多家庭买了房，把生意做了起来。

另一边，是同样生活在这片街区的北非移民群体。
从整体上看，他们在当地的经济融入相对滞后。
但纪录片捕捉到了一个细微却现实的心态变化：
一种把自食其力者视作威胁的情绪，正在悄悄蔓延。

按片子里的观察，
一些融入受挫的人，习惯以受害者自居，觉得社会欠自己太多。
可当他们转头看到身旁的华人时，心态变了。
他们不仅没有去学怎么做生意，反而把华人当成了竞争对手。

这种敌意到底从何而来？

最现实的冲突在于：华人的日子越过越好，受害者叙事就越难自圆其说。
大家同样是外来者，同样面对异国他乡的壁垒。
甚至华人刚来的时候连法语都不会讲，更谈不上本地人脉。
如果有人靠一天干十几个小时，能把日子一点点撑起来，
那句“我们过不好全怪外界不公”，就很难再理直气壮地说出口。

一个闷头自立的人，往往会让习惯归咎环境的人感到刺眼。

更深层的错位在于对财富的理解。
在很多索取者的认知里，财富是一块固定死的大饼。
他们看不到那些批发店是怎样一箱一箱货物搬出来的，
只觉得华人的店铺赚到了钱，就是占了自己的便宜。

再加上华人素来习惯忍让，遇到纠纷往往选择息事宁人，
这种心态上的失衡，很快就落成了现实中的治安麻烦。
抢劫、尾随、街头袭击，接二连三指向这群只想安分过日子的人。

靠双手养活自己、靠信誉积累财富，放在任何健全的社会都是最基本的尊严。
但如果一个地方习惯了把受害者身份当成通行的筹码，
那个默默把日子过好的人，
往往最先成为被针对的对象。

Francia tiene salud pública gratuita, educación pública gratuita, semana laboral reducida de 35 horas, aborto, planes sociales para desempleo, ley de alquileres, preescolar gratuito y licencia maternal extendida, ley de paridad de género y ley de cupo trans, subsidios a la industria, al transporte, empresas de energía estatizadas, regulaciones e impuestos al carbón y las leyes ecologistas más duras del mundo. Tienen fronteras completamente abiertas, pagan reparaciones por haber colonizado otros países, y hasta viviendas gratuitas para inmigrantes.

Tienen todo lo que quiere la izquierda, y aún así los zurdos salen a las calles y prenden fuego TODO.

Los socialistas son insaciables. NO HAY QUE DARLES NUNA NI UN CENTÍMETRO.

Charts circulating on X on October 11 appear to show a sharp decline in mentions of “Free Palestine” and “genocide” following Ukrainian drone strikes on data centers operated by Russian technology giant Yandex.

Ukraine struck three Yandex facilities between October 8 and 11, targeting sites in Sasovo, in Russia's Ryazan region, Kaluga, and Vladimir, disrupting infrastructure and forcing shutdowns.

The strikes triggered widespread service disruptions affecting Russian websites, cloud services, payment systems, and ride-hailing applications.

Screenshots shared online compared X keyword mentions between October 5 and 11, showing apparent declines in “Free Palestine” and “genocide” toward the end of the period, while mentions of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy increased.

The timing prompted speculation that Russian-operated social media bot networks promoting pro-Palestinian narratives may have been disrupted.

On October 12, Zelenskyy himself said that social media had become less hostile following the strikes, with fewer bots, provocations, and divisive messages.

You can read five different newspapers and still be reading the work of one reporting team.

That’s the power of the wires.

Reuters, AP and AFP supply stories, photos and video to newsrooms around the world. As an editor, I depend on them. No serious newsroom can have reporters everywhere.

But it also means that one choice of language, one missed source or one assumption can travel very far, very quickly.

This week was a good example.

I spent hours speaking with an Israeli passenger from the flydubai flight. He described a wounded captain, passengers fighting an attacker near the cockpit and two other pilots being pushed into action as the aircraft descended.

Reuters led with: “A pilot brawl, then a rapid descent.”

Its own reporting included the Israeli allegation that the co-pilot tried to bring down the plane.

I would have framed that story differently.

And it brought me back to something I’ve been thinking about for a while:

Does the world need another serious international news agency?

One with its own correspondents. Serious verification. Less agenda. More facts. A service that could be used by newspapers and broadcasters across the political spectrum.

I keep thinking about the moderates of the world. People with opinions, sometimes strong ones, who still want reporting that gives them the facts and lets them make up their own minds.

If such an agency were ever built, it would have to be big. Global. Professionally run. Expensive. Built for the long term.

There are serious questions about the model, the funding and how to protect genuine editorial independence. Those are exactly the questions worth working through.

The wires have extraordinary influence over how the world understands events.

I think it’s time the media industry had a serious conversation about whether we need another one.

Douglas Murray: “What happened in the skies above Saudi Arabia on Wednesday morning stands as a metaphor for three years of war.

The Israelis saw an existential threat, took matters into their own hands, and decided their own course.

The rest of the West will have to decide whether it will follow the Israeli model or let its own future be dictated by terror and the hijacking of its entire society.”

Kuwaiti journalist on the walkout against Netanyahu at the UN: “Not one of these cowards left the hall during the Iranian regime’s speech.”

Kuwaiti journalist and opposition figure Jasem al-Juraid stood up for Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after his address to the UN General Assembly. Al-Juraid is known for criticizing radical Islam and Iranian influence, and for openly supporting normalization with Israel.
As soon as Netanyahu began speaking, dozens of delegates stood up and walked out of the hall.
This is what al-Juraid wrote in response on social media:👇

«Not one of these cowards walked out during the Iranian regime’s speech. But they staged a protest in front of the Prime Minister of Israel. Against a country that is destroying terrorists. We can see how rotten the moral character of this world has become. Am Yisrael Chai.🇮🇱»

These words were not written by an Israeli or a Jew. They were written by an Arab from Kuwait. A man who takes a risk by saying this out loud in his part of the world.
This is what the truth sounds like when someone has the courage to say it.

Who is Al-Juraid?

Al-Juraid is a Kuwaiti journalist and opposition figure, a former writer for Al-Qabas. He lives in Canada as a political refugee. In Kuwait he was sentenced in absentia (estimates of the term in various sources range from 12 to 14 years) for criticizing the Muslim Brotherhood, corruption, and for publicly supporting normalization with Israel (including his friendship with Israeli journalist Edy Cohen). He does sharply criticize the Iranian regime and radical Islam and openly advocates closer ties with Israel. In March 2026 he already spoke at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva with a similar position.
