@_____mjb Thanks for sharing! Curious: do you speak Kurmanji, Sorani, both? I find it interesting to consider intelligibility between different regions of Kurdistan
@Southcom What intelligence? We spent decades birding vessels. This is extralegal execution of noncombatants. Aka murder.
This is a war crime and Trump won’t pardon you for playing Tom Clancy. Do not follow illegal orders.
One of the oldest churches on planet earth was bombed less than two years ago.
There were hundreds of people sheltering in that building.
18 of them died.
The reason *this* is more significant for you has nothing to do with Christianity, so the podcasters got this one.

Here’s the translation of the speech of one of the dockworker’s leaders in Genoa, before the departure of the ships of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
“I want this to be clear to everyone — really to everyone: around mid-September these boats will arrive near the coast of Gaza, close to the critical zone. If we lose contact with our boats, with our comrades, even for just twenty minutes, we will block all of Europe. I’ve written it down so I won’t forget it. Together with our union, together with all the dockworkers who stand with us, together with the whole city of Genoa… from this region 13–14 thousand containers leave every year for Israel, not a single nail will leave anymore. We will launch an international strike, we will block the roads, we will block the schools, we will block everything. Our young women and men must come back without a scratch, and all this cargo, which belongs to the people and is going to the people, must reach its destination, down to the very last box. That’s all I have to say.”

btw literary education typically disciplines us to better withstand the stress of reading something that feels like it doesn’t fully apply to us without needing to say so. So this ultimately is yet another thing to support this point.
La agencia francesa Afp pide ayuda dado que hasta sus colaboradoras en Gaza están muriéndose de hambre. Dice en su comunicado que han perdido muchos informadores desde su creación en 1944 “pero nunca habíamos visto morir a uno de hambre”. #periodismo
