@noom Who @noom can help me? I am away and multiple times sent multiple messages to multiple teams informing them of my travel dates, all acknowledged, all promised to pause any shipments. Today I got notice of delivery. Why should I be charged for noom’s errors and failures in comms?
The US is bombing Venezuela in an actual unprovoked attack. Many excuses will be given over the next days: Narco-terrorism; Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran and others "operating" in Venezuela; democracy promotion backed by the Nobel Peace Prize etc.
For the weirdos in my replies saying “Britain GDP rose because of the Industrial Revolution, not colonialism.” The Industrial Revolution was financed by empire. Britain extracted the modern equivalent of £45 trillion from India (Patnaik), ran its mills on 100% slave-grown cotton (Beckert), destroyed Indian textiles with 70% tariffs (Cambridge Econ History), and funded industrialisation with Bengal’s tax surplus (Datta). As India and China fell from ~60% of world GDP to ~7% (Maddison), Britain’s GDP tripled. Empire supplied the capital, raw materials, captive markets, and labour regime that made industrialisation possible. Britain didn’t rise despite empire, it rose because of it.
This is genuinely antisemitic--treating "Jewish people" as a hive mind supporting Netanyahu's crimes and not individual human beings with individual brains.
Even before the current genocide started, a quarter of American Jews were telling pollsters Israel is an apartheid state.
@sabreenaGS There is no international system, no international community, no international law, no international courts, no democratic governments, and no moral standards!

You do realise that no amount of Israeli violence will be considered heinous enough for the west to intervene.
Because at the root of it all, brown and Black people are just not considered as human as white people.
There’s no point sharing the images and videos of our dead. We mustn’t further exploit them. They deserve a dignified end, even if they weren’t granted a dignified life.
@craigscolorado@melindagates He is all those things. And Biden is a genocidal lunatic. So deeply racist he is happily sponsoring war crimes with billions and billions of tax dollars. I mean rock.. hard place.. perhaps we can stop pretending there is a good choice here.
🇮🇱🇪🇬 Lavon Affair | A Part of History You Were Never Taught
The Lavon Affair was a false flag operation carried out by Israel in Egypt in 1954.
Israel was concerned about the rise of Egyptian nationalism under President Gamal Abdel Nasser and feared the strengthening ties between Egypt and Western powers, especially the U.S.
So Israel came up with a plan.
The operation was codenamed ‘Operation Susannah’ or as it is commonly referred to now, ‘Lavon Affair.’
Israeli military intelligence recruited Egyptian Jews and undercover Israeli agents to orchestrate a series of bombings targeting American and British-owned institutions in Egypt.
The goal was to blame the attacks on the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian communists, or local nationalists and damage relations between Egypt and the Western powers, particularly the U.S. and the UK.
During the month of July in 1954, the operatives carried out a series of bombings targeting American and British-owned civilian facilities in Cairo and Alexandria.
The targets included:
- Cinemas
- Libraries
- American educational centers
- Post Offices
On July 2nd, the agents detonated bombs at a post office in Alexandria.
On July 14th, they bombed the libraries of the U.S. Information Agency in Alexandria and Cairo, and a British-owned theater.
The homemade bombs, consisting of bags containing acid placed over nitroglycerine, were inserted into books and placed on the shelves of the libraries just before closing time.
Several hours later, as the acid ate through the bags, the bombs exploded.
On July 23rd, an incendiary bomb went off in the pocket of one of the agents outside the British-owned theater in Alexandria.
On October 5th, 1954, Egypt announced the arrest of a “13-man spy ring.”
Egypt concluded that the operation was ordered by the Israeli Secretary of Defense, Pinchas Lavon, hence the name “Lavon Affair.”
The 13 agents consisted of Egyptian Jews and undercover Israelis.
2 were acquitted.
1 of the Israeli agents, Max Binnet, committed suicide on arrest.
1 committed suicide in prison.
2 were executed.
The rest were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.
The Lavon Affair meant that Israel lost significant standing and credibility in its relations with the U.S. and the UK, which took years to repair.
In 2005, Israel publicly honored the surviving spies by presenting them each with a certificate of appreciation for their efforts on behalf of the state, ending decades of official denial by Israel that the operation ever took place.
The Lavon Affair serves as proof that false flag operations are not off the table when it comes to Israel.
@UberEats are the worst. They make you wait 2 hours for an order that never arrives and then offer you “free cancellation” like that’s some kind of perk. Gee thanks 😆 No compensation for wasted time and hungry children. Worst customer service!
Western pundits can’t accept that Hamas didn’t behead 40 babies and that the story is a lie planted by the Israeli military.
A normal person would be relieved that such a horror didn’t happen.
Instead they become angry, as if they’re emotionally attached to the idea of beheaded babies and disappointed it didn’t happen.
Sick people.
400 children.
The death toll in Gaza has now surpassed that. And the children are literally being pulled out with their limbs found in different places due to the impact of the blasts. This is not including the overall civilian death toll, the lost homes, the trauma, the starvation, the shut off water and electricity, the destruction of the hospital system, & the erasure of journalists to tell you their story.
Let’s agree that the murder of children is always evil no matter who does it. How do you feel knowing that Israel is murdering Palestinian children with full US weaponry and sanction, and the President and your favorite celebrities don’t have a word to say about it. By the way, collective punishment is a war crime by international legal consensus. But so is apartheid and that didn’t seem to matter either.
