Media organisations awake:
"If Israel is allowed to get away with this with impunity, it sends a message to every regime in the world that no journalist is safe, not in Ukraine, not in America, not anywhere."

"The Weapon Israel Fears the Most" Ryan Rozbiani
"The double tap strike used by Israel to kill the journalists at Nasser Hospital"....
was pioneered by the US during the infamous war on terror. An initial drone strike is followed by another attack to kill rescuers.
Western news organisations systematically dehumanised Palestinians from the start. They're conveyor belts for an Israeli regime intent on wiping Palestinians off the map.

Analysis: "Understanding the genocidal actions & intent of the Israeli state"
"Genocide mania has gripped Israel for decades & it's become 1000 times worse since 7 October 2023"
"Mainstream Israeli society has been indulged & pacified for so long, by local press & international governments, that there’s been no tangible price for illegally occupying Palestine for decades & calling for the murder of Palestinians."

How do the pro- & anti- genocide sides differ?
It's not about laws. It's in their values.
"If it means harming a hair on the head of a child, you do not do it. That's it. That is the difference between the two sides.
"They say kill the child, kill a thousand children, kill a hundred thousand children.
"We say you do not harm a child.
"That's the difference."

Interview: Big Tech's complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza
The major US cloud companies—Google, Amazon & Microsoft—provide AI, cloud & storage service that maximise Israel's military effectiveness against Palestinians. Israel doesn't have the in-house power to collect & process the data.
Meta has direct ties with Israel, eg, Jordana Cutler worked for Netanyahu, & Guy Rosen worked in Unit 8200 in the IDF (Israel's CIA).

Analysis: Gideon Levy: "Israel using Lebanon war as ‘cover’ to clear north Gaza of Palestinians... & nothing can stop them with US support."
“Israel still ignores totally any kind of requests from the US because, in the last year, Israel learned that those requests… are totally hollow because they are never followed by any kind of measures against Israel in terms of supply of arms."

Analysis: Netanyahu may not have anticipated Oct 7. But that day "gave him a welcome opportunity to execute a long-held Israeli plan:
"Create a Greater Israel; destroy Hamas, Hezbollah & other adversaries in Iraq, Syria & Yemen; & quash Iran’s budding nuclear program.
"Over the past 12 months, that plan has unfolded successively in Gaza, the West Bank (& East Jerusalem), Lebanon & now Iran."

Interview
with Trita Parsi on the Future of Iran After the President's death:
The only reason Raisi got elected was because the majority of the population actually boycotted the elections bcz the conservatives refused to let non-conservatives candidates run.
Now it has to make a decision: Is it actually going to allow other candidates to stand?
Parsi also discusses Iran's crumbling air fleet & the inevitable question of potential Israeli involvement.

Report
US police reportedly arrest 100s of pro-Palestinian Jewish protesters outside Schumer’s home
Organised by the Jewish Voice for Peace, the protestors demanded the US stop arming & funding the Israeli government as it carries out a genocide in Gaza.
The protest came after the US Senate backed new aid for Israel.

Miko Peled:
The call for a ceasefire is too small. Can you imagine people asking Hitler to agree to a cease fire?
It's absurd to beg Israel to agree to a ceasefire, & when they don't agree, just let them get away with it.
When it comes to Palestine, we've gotten used to such a low standard.
If it were any other nation, people would be calling for an immediate embargo on arms sales to Israel, a naval blockade of Israel, a no flyone over Gaza, & adequate aid.

Your regular reminder:
The fascist rich have planned this takeover for decades
They know that dictatorship, alone, will save their privilege
Dictatorship requires wiping out difference -- from queerness to skin colour to anti-capitalism.
The gullible majority - out of manufactured fear - will comply (as in Orwell's 1984)
These fascists are psychopathic, & this is 1920s redux -- with a tech twist:

"WE WANT THEM INFECTED"
So said former Trump science advisor, Paul Alexander, in support of mass infecting the nation’s youth with SARS-CoV-2.
Dr. Jonathan Howard, NYU:
"Right-wing dark money groups & Republican politicians [waged] an information war on public-health measures.... Speaking out today carries risks. Fear of reprisal and harassment has cowed many medical experts"

THE COVID DISINFORMATION THAT KILLED 1.1 M AMERICANS
"Infants, kids, teens, young adults, middle-aged with no conditions, etc. have zero to little risk"
--Paul Alexander, Trump epidemiologist, despite data showing risk & 5 mths before vax was available
“So we use them to develop herd… we want them infected”
But, as author Jonathan Howard says, "NO population has ever achieved herd immunity to a virus through natural infection alone”

FAR-RIGHT BATTLE PLAN TO TAKE OVER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Should Trump win in 2024, Project 25 will "obstruct & undo the federal government’s efforts to tackle the climate crisis"
It will "gut environmental spending, stymie clean energy development & fundamentally shift how federal agencies regulate U.S. industries"

HATE SPEECH SOARING AT MUSK'S "X", says the Center for Countering Digital Hate
Musk responded by filing a lawsuit against the center over the research, calling the group “evil”
X accuses the center of unlawfully accessing data to “falsely claim it had statistical support showing the platform is overwhelmed with harmful content.”
Silencing critics is Musk's “go-to tactic to avoid accountability" said a senior counsel at Free Press.

RECENT SURVEY REVEALS SHARP INCREASE IN CONSUMER SENTIMENT IN U.S.
But there was a twist, namely, "with the notable exception of lower-income consumers, who anticipate continued challenges from inflation & a potential weakening in labor market prospects.”
"Central bankers are effectively intent on increasing poverty in their societies. Relying on such a pernicious policy tool... is not a sound basis for achieving social stability"
