The tragedy is that to make Israel's actions acceptable the propaganda must change international norms: murder as a state policy, ecocide, genocide, Christophobia, killing negociators, fabricating history, Apartheid, setller colonialism, demonizing resistance, scholasticide,etc.

[Hadi @HadiNasrallah]

After destroying the town church, the Israeli occupation forces demolished the historic nun’s monastery and school in Yaroun, southern Lebanon despite the local Christians calls to preserve their heritage. Is this also an isolated incident?

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Scores of Palestinians have been killed by settlers or soldiers in recent weeks in a broad effort that enjoys the tacit and sometimes active support of the Israeli government https://t.co/5vVx2ItcwH

For 1300 y (until 1948) it was >>to be a Jew under Islamic protection.
Hasbara has been spreading disinformation on the "Dhimmi" status which in fact means literally ذِمّة = "a binding moral obligation" here for "protection".

In Levantine,ما عندك ذمّة means "no conscience".

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

The Israel Hasbara program is to spread lies to create Islamophobia among Christians. This is fake news: these were apparently Copts partaking of a post-Christmas ritual.

If you feel that you are in competition with anyone, for anything, you are a loser.

@nntaleb @AlainKRUGER Is there any English translation available for this one? Asking for a friend who is also a novice bicyclist.

“Today the United Nations commission that I lead is publishing its legal analysis of Israel’s conduct in the Gaza Strip,” Navi Pillay writes. “Our conclusion is stark: Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.” https://t.co/VdzTYB0RBw

At Nasser hospital’s child malnutrition ward, a handful of Gazan mothers watch over their babies who lie still and largely silent. The quiet is common in places treating the most acutely malnourished, doctors told Reuters, a sign of bodies shutting down https://t.co/8zV1ED8D3k

Very proud that @caabu assisted in this report. Raises many questions about BBC's coverage of Palestine, an issue I have worked on for years

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

When people start questioning Israel, they invariably flip against it and keep going in the opposite direction.

[Daniel McAdams @DanielLMcAdams]

This is an elected Member of the US House of Representatives mocking starving WOMEN and CHILDREN and telling them to "starve away." He actually thinks it is funny that US-backed Israeli policy is killing babies. What kind of monsters have taken over the United States?
What is even more disgusting is that Randy Fine was congratulated by...the National Right to Life @nrlc :
Do you donate to the National Right to Life? Volunteer? Let them know what you think about their endorsement of "National Right to Death" for kids Randy Fine.

Daniel Blatman is a historian of the holocaust and has written a well-regarded history of the death marches under Nazism.

In every market downturn, the advice to buy the dip is widely offered. I look at contrarian investing, in all its different forms, in this post, with the pluses and minuses of each one. https://t.co/Yx5Ku6UcdS

Week three update of the tariff crisis with a drama about the Fed chair entering the mix. A week of relative stability, with the emphasis on the word "relative". The ERP inched up, treasury rates dropped and equity losses evened out across regions. https://t.co/wy8WGu8ona

The position of POTUS comes with pardon privileges, where you irrevocably expunge someone's crimes determined by due process.
Calligulilus & his poodles think it also comes with conviction privileges, that is, bypassing said due process to declare someone irreversibly guilty.
