Watch this. Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists. “We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

The Butcher of Beirut – Israel’s alternative to Netanyahu. Peter Oborne – just returned from almost a month in the Occupied Territories – came into the Double Down Newswatch studio to talk about the Israeli election, Britain’s feeble surrender to the Israelis over the consulate in East Jerusalem and the ongoing horror in the West Bank and Israeli prisons.

The US is not a democracy; it's an oligarchy where "elections" are bought and sold by billionaires and large corporations.
Elon Musk has cemented his record as the largest individual political donor in modern American history. Musk poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress. wapo.st/4igb5Kq

Uncritical support for the state of Israel will now be compulsory teaching in English and Welsh schools. While Israel commits genocide. This Labour Friends of Israel govt is truly dangerous.

The middle class was a 50-year fluke designed to stop communism during the Cold War. The threat is gone, so the elites are taking it apart. You're not falling behind. You're being pushed back into peasantry.

Sasha Baron Cohen falsely portrayed Palestinian Christian peace activist Ayman Abu Aita as a terrorist aligned with Bin Laden in his painfully unfunny film Bruno Baron Cohen was forced to settle a $112 million defamation suit for the smear This is the Zionist minstrel show actor the ADL chief censor says “has spent years confronting hate”
My friend @SachaBaronCohen has spent years confronting hate and disinformation, and @ADL is proud of all the work we've done together. In a world where lies spread faster than facts, that work matters more than ever.   No artist should be pressured, blacklisted or silenced over their Jewish identity. And Jewish artists shouldn’t be subjected to ideological litmus tests.   Thank you, Sacha, for continuing to speak out against hate while making us laugh along the way.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Bruno (2009) labeled Ayman Abu Aita as Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade 'terrorist group leader.' The Palestinian Christian activist denied it, claimed he was misled into the interview, and sued Cohen for ~$110M defamation; settled confidentially in 2012. nypost.com/2012/07/19/fal… theguardian.com/world/2009/dec…

Habt ihr euch schon einmal geärgert, dass wieder in jeder Zeitung derselbe Mist drinsteht? Das hat häufig einen sehr einfachen Grund: @dpa. Die ganze Story (und die Antwort auf die Frage, was Otto von Bismarck damit zu tun hat), gibt's bei @baba__news. babanews.ch/warum-schon-wied…

Miko Peled is asked if he will condemn Hamas and the Palestinian resistance. Here is his response:
Miko Peled, son of a prominent Israeli general who saw firsthand the genocidal depravity of Israel and now stands with the Palestinian liberation struggle: "There is no good Zionism, it is a racist, violent ideology."

The world is going to suffer for many more months through a massive energy crisis. The oil price is back up to $110 USD, which is basically the same as it was at the peak of the US war against Iran in April and May. This is going to have very negative consequences for the global economy. Inflation has already been rising in most countries, and will likely further increase. The US war against Iran unleashed what the International Energy Agency called the biggest oil supply disruption crisis in history. Now, Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries and depots are only making this worse. Moreover, the US-backed Saudi war against Yemen has led Ansarallah to retaliate by hitting Saudi oil infrastructure, further exacerbating the energy crisis. There are no signs of this getting better any time soon. Buckle up.

The Supreme Court burns to the ground in Albania, Parliament and the Department of Education has been stormed, the Prime Minister is in hiding and the country is effectively in the hands of the rebels. Albania rejects blatant corruption and their country being sold.

Hüseyin is absolutely right. If we don’t force them to reverse this authoritarian crap against him, these EU dictators are gonna come for all of us in the dissident movement. Either it stops with @hussedogru, Jacques Baud and @Nath_Yamb, or much worse starts with them. We gotta oppose this extralegal authoritarianism.
Replying to @hussedogru

🇪🇺hält an Sanktionen gegen 🇩🇪 Journalisten @hussedogru fest. Laut EU-Rat gilt für ihn keine Unschuldsvermutung und die Pressefreiheit nur bei „gutem Glauben“. Wer darüber urteilt? Der Rat selbst. Rechtsstaat absurd. Mein aktueller Artikel zur Causa Dogru: ostdeutscheallgemeine.com/ar…

UPDATE: The EU Council sent me a letter with its decision NOT to lift the sanctions on me. That means at least another year under sanctions. The reasons they give should be a warning to everyone about where European authoritarianism is going.

Caroline Lucas has called for Green Party member Lubna Speitan—who has had 56 relatives killed in Gaza genocide—to be suspended Speitan’s crime? Naming the ideology which killed her family Lucas is getting loads of airtime because she is doing the establishment’s work for them. Extremely ugly spectacle
