It is no coincidence that Pope Leo is making this statement during the Zionist war on #Lebanon & ongoing #GazaGenocide.
"...a peace that is not merely an absence of conflict, but one that is an expression of justice and dignity."
The Lebanese state is wrong to sell the South.
"God desires peace for every nation: a peace that is not merely an absence of conflict, but one that is an expression of justice and dignity."
Pope Leo stressed this at the Martyrs’ Monument in Algiers, Algeria on the first day of his Apostolic Journey to the African continent.
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan receives a phone call from his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, during which they discuss the recent escalation in the region and ongoing efforts to address tension.
UPDATE | Israeli occupation forces are threatening to target the Lebanese Army if personnel do not leave the area on the outskirts of Deir Mimas, in southern Lebanon.
Occupation forces have targeted near where Lebanese Army personnel are stationed on the outskirts of the town with at least 6 stun grenades.
May this courage spread like a wildfire so all decent nations boycott not only diplomatic relations, but weapons, trade and economic exchange.
Humanity is hanging in the balance.

אני רוצה לחזור לכנסת ולהקים את ברית המיעוטים במזרח התיכון בראשות ישראל, כולל ברית עם כל המדינות שרואות בטרור אויב שלהם ולהצליח, כפי שהצלחתי בהסכמי אברהם למרות הפלסטינים
أولًا، من أنت حتى تُقرر لليمنيين من يحكمهم أو من يملك “الشرعية”؟ هذه الشرعية التي تتحدث عنها هي شرعيتك أنت، وليست شرعية يتفق عليها جميع اليمنيين. كثير من اليمنيين لا يرون أن الحكومة التي تتحدث عنها تمثلهم أو تمتلك تفويضًا شعبيًا حقيقيًا.
أنا يمنية أمريكية، وأناقش الشأن اليمني منذ بداية هذه الحرب قبل نحو 15 عامًا. وعندما وقّعت السعودية اتفاقًا مع أنصار الله في 2022، واعترفت عمليًا بأن صنعاء هي الطرف الذي تتفاوض معه لإنهاء الحرب، لم أسمع أحدًا منكم يتحدث عن “الشرعية” بهذا الخطاب.
من سيمثل اليمن يقرره اليمنيون وحدهم، وليس أي شخص يكتب من خلف شاشة، ولا أي دولة خارجية. وفي تقديري، هناك شريحة واسعة من اليمنيين اليوم تؤيد أنصار الله أو على الأقل تؤيد مطالبهم الأساسية، بعد سنوات الحرب والحصار. وإذا كان هناك خلاف حول من يمثل الشعب، فليكن الفيصل هو إرادة اليمنيين عبر عملية يمنية حرة، لا عبر تعيينات خارجية أو فرض أمر واقع من أي طرف

A particularly damning element of the Jacobin hit piece—and one that drew immediate fire from Black radical organizations like the Black Agenda Report and independent Black Marxists—is the underlying, institutional Anti-Blackness that characterizes both the Jacobin and the DSA milieu it represents.
I stand in solidarity with @MaxBlumenthal: clearly, seizing his phone has nothing to do with security, it is about spying on his reporting and sources

Israelis have been accused by locals of burning down parts of Cusco and the Sacred Valley, similarly to how they reportedly burned down the Patagonia.
This news report covers how 10 hectares have been burning.
Fergie Chambers has been arrested in Ibiza on a US extradition request and denied bail. He faces up to 20 years in a US prison. His alleged crime? “International money laundering” and providing “material support to Hamas”.
What does this “material support” consist of? It seems Chambers has used part of his fortune to fund humanitarian relief in Gaza: a quarter of a million dollars to the Sameer Project, which established a bakery producing 3,600 free loaves of bread a day; a desalination plant supplying 150,000 litres of clean water daily; a free clinic in Jabalia treating up to 300 patients a day; and a further hundred thousand dollars for mental-health care for orphaned children. The British-Palestinian surgeon Ghassan Abu Sitta calls him “a vital supporter for the provision of care for children wounded in the genocide”.
This is what the US Department of “Justice” wants to imprison him for: helping to provide food, water and medical services to the survivors of a genocide.
His real offence, of course, is engaging in solidarity against genocide, war and colonial occupation.
His arrest came on the very day Marco Rubio convened ministers from 60 countries to combat what the administration now calls “transnational far-left terrorism” – the criminalisation of the global movement for Palestinian liberation and against war on Iran, dressed up in the language of counter-terrorism.
This is an important test for Spain, which has spent the past couple of years cultivating a reputation as Western Europe’s conscience: condemning the genocide in Gaza, refusing to let the US use Spanish airspace for its war on Iran, positioning Pedro Sánchez as the one EU leader willing to stand up to Trump.
But principles have to go further than issuing press releases. If the Spanish state now hands Fergie Chambers to Trump’s rogue regime, those fine words are revealed as mere theatre. You cannot denounce the genocide in Gaza on Monday and extradite someone for feeding its victims on Tuesday.
The Audiencia Nacional will hear the case. What it decides will tell us whether Spain’s defiance of Washington is a matter of conviction or of convenience. Let’s see what side Spain is really on.
Solidarity with Fergie Chambers.
Start calling your Senators now because Benjamin Netanyahu has announced on Fox News that preparations have begun to merge the Pentagon and Israeli Army together. This is insanity & extremely dangerous for this Country & its people. I’m curious did Trump sell the U.S to them?
For those not quite sure about Sacha Baron Cohen or his racist 'comedy' characters including 'Ali G' (A Jew pretending to be a Muslim pretending to be black), have a little look at his pedigree.
He is a graduate of the Habonim Dror School of racist comedy. A Zionist grooming and radicalisation vehicle for young Jews.
Here's the article I wrote about it [link in replies]:
The Habonim Dror School of Racist Comedy
Source: Al Mayadeen English 31 Aug 2022.
In their attempts to groom and radicalize Jewish children and young people, into ideological partisans of the ideology of Zionism, the Zionist movement seems to have fostered an identifiable strand of racist comedy. Zionist youth groups such as Habonim Dror are key to this according to the testimony of former members.
The Zionist movement makes a very significant investment in the indoctrination of Jewish children and young people. In the UK, the largest group fundraising for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine is the United Jewish Israel Appeal (UJIA).
It invests in a wide range of organizations for young people, all dedicated to fostering the racist ideology of Zionism. But it also schools and coaches young Jews in wider racist ideas and ideologies. How does this work out when they grow up?
Take the example of a school in North London, the Haberdashers’ Aske’s School – now known more simply as Haberdashers’ after dropping the name ‘Aske’s’. This was because the Merchant, Robert Aske, was an investor in the Royal African Company which had a monopoly on the British slave trade. As with most areas of public life in the UK children who attend private schools are significantly over-represented in elite professions including in the entertainment industry. As it happens, significant numbers of nationally and internationally known entertainers attended the school including :
Matt Lucas and Ashley Blaker who were behind the popular comedy show Little Britain.
Robert Popper, who among his other activities was Commissioning editor at Channel Four where he commissioned Bo’Selecta and produced two series of the comedy Peep Show.
David Baddiel, the stand-up comedian, and co-host of Fantasy Football League.
Perhaps best known is Sacha Baron-Cohen who made his name presenting himself as a young Muslim (Ali G), pretending to be black, and then played a series of other Muslim comedy characters including Borat in the internationally known film of the same name.
Work produced by all five has been criticized or removed from streaming services for racism.
However, many of those involved in the British comedy world (such as Baddiel, his brother Ivor, Popper, Baron-Cohen, the producer of Whose Line is it Anyway/Mock the Week, Dan Patterson, and his colleague in both shows, Mark Leveson) also credit a little known Zionist youth group - Habonim Dror - as playing a role in their success. The Jewish Chronicle reported that Lucas was a Habonim alumnus. He subsequently clarified the was a member of RSY-Netzer, which was, however, also signed up to the racist ideology of Zionism, through formal membership of the Zionist Federation and thus the World Zionist Organisation.
