Protesters are reporting that NJP have restricted all masks, backpacks and respirators from the area. Moments later ICE agents descended upon protesters. They effected at least 2 arrests and fire rubber bullets and pepper spray. One journalists flash was torn of his camera.
this language is now indexed as a form of racial harassment. The mere mention of Palestinians and their ongoing mass killing, siege and starvation is treated as a form of bigotry. I don’t know what else to say other than this is completely dystopian and insane.
What Israel is doing in Lebanon is unambiguously genocidal against Shias. And it is unambiguously an attempt to reoccupy and even annex a huge part of the country. It’s infuriating that we’re pretending that there’s a ceasefire. And even more infuriating that Western media continues to turn a blind eye to Israel’s endless colonial expansion and insatiable hunger for Arab land.
for anyone curious about this dynamic, it's very much a quantitative phenomena. Post Oct 7, despite university and nonprofits finding roughly equal instances of antisemitism and anti-Muslim racism, the former was covered 9X-31X more in US media, depending on how it was measrured
Based on Mr. Aoun's comments, one would think it's Iran that has occupied 1/5 of Lebanon, displaced 1/4 of Lebanese and bombing his country on daily basis.
Had Lebanon been bargaining chip for Iran, we'd have a deal long ago.
Save Lebanon from your real foe, Mr. President.
One for @bbclaurak who asked on air "Why would Israel lie?"
A leak has revealed the IDF actually has a programme to train its people in the “fundamentals of psychological warfare, propaganda, deception, legitimacy and public diplomacy." https://t.co/yW2WeZakYA
Reminder that USCENTCOM still denies the fact that they are quietly attempting to escort Oil Tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.
Why ? Because many oil tankers end up in flames (without UKMTO reporting), and Trump admin doesnt want the public to know this.
Oct 7 wasn’t the start of anything and Israel was already ethnically cleansing and murdering and taping and stealing for decades. Gaza was already an open air prison. It wasn’t too soon, if anything, too late.
today chance got a letter stating he is officially an emotional support animal. today’s emotional support included knocking over mommy’s pills at 6 am and yelling about it
This pathetic, cowering, unelected head of our collaborationist administration does not represent me. He represents the deep-seated rot of the Aoun-Salam administration, which seems entirely content to surrender Lebanon’s sovereignty and transform the nation into another Arab vassal state that serves US-Israeli interests.
NEW: Netanyahu & Republicans are trying to fuse Israeli & US military. Turns out, FDD planted seeds for this.
FDD (who Trump copied Iran talking points from) is staffed by ex-Israeli officials — including a top negotiator for the *current $3.8B* to Israel:https://t.co/t0lJM3FeaW
Trump's "Board of Peace" is doing exactly what it was designed to do: launder Israel's genocide as "diplomacy," blame Palestinians for their own starvation and turn "reconstruction" into cover for occupation and ethnic cleansing. Read @maureenclarem: https://t.co/dOTNZbYTeJ
Police cut activists out of bike locks and arrested them on Tuesday after they chained themselves to a military vehicle outside Crye Precision, a tactical gear manufacturer based in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The direct action, organised by the Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard (DBNY) campaign, targeted the company for supplying uniforms and gear to ICE agents and the Israeli military.
Graham Platner is funny because if you explain his background to folks without context they’re probably gonna walk away being like “yeah I mean he sounds evil?” but then he runs for senate and a wild amount of folks are suddenly treating him like a progressive darling child
“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.
What's your favorite Mandela Effect phenomenon? Mine is that I have a memory of Joe Biden being president for four of the last ten years, but there's actually no evidence that ever happened
🚨My latest:
The UN has now verified rapes of Palestinians by Israeli forces.
But almost three years after 7 October, it still cites no Israeli rape victims.
This exposes how atrocity propaganda was laundered through the UN to justify genocide
