Jean-Luc Mélenchon:
"The countries of NATO account for 80% of the world's military spending. It is not true that the others are armed to the teeth against us. What is true is that we belong to a coalition that threatens everyone."
This is an astonishing insight into the unlimited desire to control global narratives.
AI presents an incredible opportunity for Jews because "instead of trying to control the whole world" and "manage" social media, "we can go directly to the companies" with "advocacy solutions," Dr. Maya Ackerman tells the American Jewish Committee.
"For the first time, there is a path to correcting the digital world!" Ackerman says.

This clip encapsulates the problem the BBC has with Israel. It's not that it straightforwardly spouts hasbara. It doesn't.
What it does is engage in faux impartiality - it accepts a framing of things as "contested", as a "debate", long after they have ceased to be so.
In his interview on the BBC Radio 4 Today program this morning @ZackPolanski says Israel is committing genocide.
You know what's coming.
This is exceptionally important for Europe.
I spoke to @mrjamesob on @LBC yesterday about Sohan's and my three year investigation into an Israel-linked racist campaign attacking the US and Europe with anti-migrant and anti-Muslim ads.
For the UK, MPs need to raise in the parliament.

Völkermörder Israel hat heute Nacht wieder ein Krankenhaus bombardiert und 5 Menschen heimtückisch ermordet. In einem Krankenhaus. Darunter ein Chirurg. Der israelische Holocaust an den Palästinensern mit deutscher Hilfe geht jeden Tag weiter. Was für eine Schande.

Israel holds thousands of Palestinian hostages through whats called adminstrative detention, whereby they can lock up Palestinians without trial indefinitely & don't have to produce any evidence!
Among those being held hostage are several doctors, including Dr Hussam Abu Safiya
This is an important insight into the roots of Zionism.
A Moroccan Jew who moved to Israel in the early period of statehood wrote in a letter back home telling his family that antisemitism was worse in Israel than it was in Poland. The antisemites were the Ashkenazi Jews, who were more racist towards Moroccan Jews that whites were racist towards blacks in 1950s in the United States.haaretz.com/israel-news/2021…

Just returned from West Bank. It is the worse Israeli violence against Palestinians that I’ve seen in 31 years. Settlers acting with vicious impunity while the @IDF stands by or protects the settlers. This level of violence, total erasures of Palestinian communities can’t go on
#Palestine: For 10 days, Palestinians in Hebron, #WestBank have faced military raids, forced evictions and severe movement restrictions, making it harder for people to reach care.
The lockdown also forced our teams to suspend care. doctorswithoutborders.ca/pal…

Everyone needs to watch NAZA, so they can hear elite Israeli intelligence officers saying that this is complete bullshit and official policy was murdering 20 civilians for every suspected Hamas member.

NEW: 260 British Jews – among them British Israeli historian Avi Shlaim, human rights barrister Margaret Owen OBE and journalist and politician @andrewfeinstein – have accused the @BoardofDeputies of genocide denial in an open letter.

They really don't put any effort into False Flags any more.
Iran supposedly hacked a few hundred fridges in France and 9 other countries which achieved nothing at all.
Except of course allowing them all to attack Iran.
It's not hard to work out who actually did it.

Ha'aretz reports that Hamas, through Qatar, conveyed immediately on Oct. 7 that they were willing to return all the civilian hostages for nothing -- their only ask was for a mediator to arrange the exchange and establish a connection to then negotiate the further release of the soldiers. Israel refused to talk or hear about it.
So Qatar reached out to Antony Blinken to let him know that Hamas was willing to release all the civilian hostages.
Blinken told Qatar he didn't want to hear it because "Israel is still under attack, and there's no one to talk to."
Blinken had the opportunity to free every single civilian hostage and de-escalate the situation. Instead he wanted war.

An American doctor, a trauma surgeon, describing what he saw in Gaza. Children shot twice - twice - deliberately.
"I've never seen children assassinated before... a six-year-old shot twice - in the chest where I'd put my stethoscope, and directly in the head. That means it wasn't a mistake." nitter.gq/wizoora/status/2119666…

In 1989 Palestinian woman sits down with Israeli woman...
The way the Israeli women look at her is vile
If this was happening to 100s of thousands of Israeli's it would be front page news across the West.
I keep thinking these horrific scenes coming out of Gaza must be Ai
But sadly- no.
Children freezing and drenched.
I honestly don't know what I'd do if this was my family and my life.
I don't know if Israel is blocking aid but I do know @andyburnham @UKLabour need to do something FAST.

No surprise that western governments are running short of China experts. People with genuine China expertise in western governments find themselves often regarded as too understanding of Chinese positions. Their expertise is exploited when expedient and more often disregarded as politically inconvenient. They usually will have a boss who is hostile to China, not by accident. Their promotion prospects will tend to depend on confidence that although expert, they are not interested in China and, preferably, hostile to China. Seeing all this happening, younger staff steer clear of making too much investment in acquiring Chinese experience and skills. Anyone with actual recent experience of living in China is likely to be excluded from ability to get a security clearance and so unemployable in government. The result is western governments flying ever blinder and more prejudiced on China.
