Flak organizations… I recently came across this term in Manufacturing Consent. 40 years later it is scary how everything in that book is still relevant today.

These two are intertwined though. And the main alternative Meta also has its fair share of allowing criminal content, fake news and propaganda. The question is, who gets to control it.
Saruman also had his Uruks pillage and murder throughout Rohan long before the battle of Helms Deep
Hindustan times is a genocidal hindufascist propaganda outlet under control of the Indian president Modi. They advocate for Pogroms against muslims in India.
The moment they “report” anything in relation to Muslims it is heavily skewed at best.
Thank you. I didn’t know about the ecological compensation measures to be this proper.
Or it could have been turned into an actual diverse forest over the next decades by deliberate measures like they are taken in many forests/plantations in the area. Almost all “Forests” in Germany are “plantations” because of the wood cut after WW2 to rebuild.

Reports in Arabic-language media suggest that there have been several meetings between Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Israeli officials over the last two years, with at least one of them taking place in Eilat in 2015 and another on the sidelines of the Arab summit in Jordan in March 2017. It has also been reported that Saudi and Israeli officers have been regularly meeting in a joint war room serving as a coordination center for Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.
After the Arab Spring, Israel views the Saudi government as “guarantor of stability”, according to the New York Times. In 2011, Israel approved a German sale of 200 Leopard tanks to Saudi Arabia.[12] The approval came from Uzi Arad, the national security advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Times has reported that Saudi Arabia has tested the ability to stand down their air defenses to allow an Israeli strike on Iran to pass through their airspace.[22] Both nations have denied this.[23][24]
In November 2018, Netanyahu publicly defended Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in the wake of the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, stating “it is very important for the stability of the region and the world that Saudi Arabia remain stable”, and privately urged the U.S. administration to maintain its strong security relationship with Saudi Arabia.[31]

They egg around but work together closely militarily and in intelligence. And Saudia Arabia could exert control over the Red Sea. Finally Saudi Arabia actively supports Israel militarily, like by shooting down missiles heading to Israel from Yemen.
Cutting all economic and diplomatic ties, putting sanctions and blocking ships headed to or from there passing through the red sea would indicate he means it.
If the arab leaders had made a stance, the genocide would have ended in November and Israel would be back in 1967 borders by end of next year.
Also she holds no political offices right now. She isn’t even an MP anymore. I think few politicians in the UK have demolished themselves this fast and spectacularly.
Boxing has weight classes. As do most other martial arts.
The problem is not a 50kg men fighting a 70kg women in terms of injuries and power imbalance. And in that set up the women most likely wins. The problem is the typical situation of a 80-100 kg men smacking down on a 50-60kg women. And that is the image the demagogues try to conjure.
So if your full blown men is a 60kg feather to be able to compete against another 60kg women, the whole trope falls apart.
Stop spreading war crime propaganda.
Israel has every ability to prosecute its own citizens living inside its own borders. It is not undermined by the ICC arrest warrant. Switching offender and victim of course is a typical Israeli propaganda strategy. The ICC acts because Israel chooses not to act. And the ICC does not appease anyone, as can been seen with the vile attacks now being thrown at it by the US and other Israeli allies. Also the Mossad was harassing ICC members for close to a decade now to prevent them for prosecuting Israeli war crimes.
There is thousands of videos online of IDF soldiers documenting and cheering on their own war crimes. Looting, Pillaging, Abusing, Raping, Murdering.
It is evident that they do not fear any repercussions and only when the international pressure gets to high, a tiny few get “investigated” or even more rarely get a small “conviction”.
What is left of Israels civil society and every country that easily allows travel for Israels should be alarmed. When thousands of people that learned to expect impunity for the most gruesome crimes will come back to life among them.
Looks like Netanyahu is getting what he wants. The US drags itself in another war in the Middle East. Harris will suffer for it in the elections, as she will be loosing the communities she won back after being alienated by Bidens zionist fanaticism. The US might end up doint the dirty work in Iran and Iraq, if things escalate fully. And Israel can finalize the genocide and annexation of all of Palestine, while pretending to be the victim again.
Israel may not heavily punish those who commit war crimes, but they do prosecute them, and that’s the bar that’s needed to avoid sanctions. Like it or don’t like it, but that’s the way the world works right now.
The ICC is seeking arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant because evidently Israel is not prosecuting its war criminals.
“how dare they”. Because targeted assassinations are murder. They are barbaric and in contradiction to the rule of law. And with the civilian “casualties” in Beirut and Tehran it would be appropriate to condemn them as acts of terror, because that is what they are.
“violence evolved from student protests”… There is myriads of videos of the police attacking peaceful protests. This wording makes it seem, like the protestors were responsible, when they were victims of brutal police crackdowns.
Wasn’t the last US aid package some 60 Billion dollars or so? Assuming thats for a year, that would make it about 5 Billion a month. So even if every drone would cost 5.000 Dollars, it would add up to about 10% of that budget.
And from what things in Ukraine look like, we hit a new era of warfare, with a change similiar in scope to the invention of the machinegun.
You make it sound like a bug instead of a feature. But for the capitalist ruling class it is working exactly as intended.
Dying during Hajj has always been a risk historically. Imagine you’d make the way from Afghanistan or Gambia to Mekka in the time before cars and planes. People were on the road for years, and the roads back then were a very different story.
Also for nowadays it needs to be kept in mind, that people often safe up a very long time, to afford doing Hajj. So by the time they saved enough money for it, they are quite old, which increases the risk of dying from heat.
Could you explain please why another election is not allowed in France? I though Macron dissolved the parliament early for a new election, which brought us to this situation in the first place.
