    I’m amazed that you, James have not publicly apologised for only now coming to the realisation that Jeremy Corbyn was attacked and vilified for having the opinions you are only just now discovering and you yourself happily branded him anti-semitic. Jeremy Corbyn was once again on the right side of history, and you pushed him under the bus

    Anti-Zionism Ruled Protected Speech

    A tribunal decided in February that Prof. David Miller was unfairly dismissed from the University of Bristol for allegedly making anti-semetic remarks. The written judgement says it was not antisemitic to criticize Israel for apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide. The tribunal ruled that taking those positions are “worthy of respect in a democratic society.”

    It was a significant ruling at a time when journalists who dare criticize Israel’s behavior in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon are under increasing pressure, in some cases having their homes raided or being questioned at British airports under the U.K. Terrorism Act.

    I’ve received a lot of serious threats from powerful Jews saying if I don’t stop posting about Israel and the Talmud, I’ll be jailed or killed. My answer is f..k you. There is a war going on between good and evil. You will be tested

    This is October 2024. It is a war between good and evil. You have to choose which side you are on – good or evil. There is no fence for you to sit on.

    I hear radio callers and others wimp out with statements like:
    What is happening to the people in Gaza is sad, but we are here in Australia.
    We can’t do anything about it. There are no solutions.
    Hamas started it. Israel has a right to defend itself. Hostages…

    blah, blah.

    That is all a cop-out. You have to say publicly where you stand on this war. To be prepared to talk about it. There is no bigger issue than this one. The facts are available along with the media propaganda. Decide which news reports you want to believe and choose your side.

    You’re Not Crazy. This Genocidal Dystopia Is Crazy.

    And the majority is wrong now. The ones flagrantly supporting Israel’s abuses are wrong. The ones who try not to think too much about what’s being done in Gaza and Lebanon are wrong. The ones who say it’s all so tragic and heartbreaking but it’s oh so very complicated and Israel has a right to defend itself are wrong….

    … The ones who know it’s a genocide but don’t respond to this reality with the appropriate level of urgency, forcefulness and focus are wrong.

    ….Don’t look to others to evaluate your own level of clarity. In a civilization that has gone insane, you have to sort out what sanity looks like for yourself. When our leaders are throwing their support behind an active genocide in a society that is awash with propaganda-induced delusions, we’ve all got to be brave enough to stand on our own two feet.

    Don’t worry. Christians and politicians in the west will continue to support Israel and send them the bombs they need to kill and wound Christians and to flatten to the ground more churches and more Christians.

    There must be some Hamas tunnels under these Christian churches.

    Legal Filing Deems Bombing of Gaza’s Saint Porphyrius Church a ‘War Crime’

    Chicago-based human rights organization Justice For All has deemed the bombing of the historic Church of Saint Porphyrius in Gaza by Israel a “war crime” in a new legal filing submitted to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

    The church is the oldest active church in Gaza, and the third oldest in the world. Its structure was initially built in the 5th century, though the current iteration was built in the 12th century.

    They are “donating” $$$$ because they love America. They want to make it great again. America First.

    It’s true. Confirmed.
    Miriam Adelson gives $100 million

    See thread (a few points for those who can’t)

    – For those reading, the late Sheldon Adelson donated millions to Trump in 2016, in return for moving the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognizing the occupied Golan Heights as part of Israel. His wife has donated $100 million to Trump this year.

    – Miriam Adelson — who has dual US and Israeli citizenship but is said to reside mostly in Israel — has reportedly given Trump and his presidential campaign $100 million in return for support for Israeli annexation over the entirety of the West Bank if he regains the White House.

    – More than 2.2 million Palestinians live in the occupied West Bank, of whom more than one third are children 14 years old and younger.
    Ethnic cleansing of the West Bank is part of Israel’s larger campaign of genocide targeting the Palestinian people

    – During Trump’s WH tenure, the Adelsons secured the relocation of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a symbolic victory for supporters of Zionism that contravened the intl community’s view of east Jerusalem as occupied territory

    Assange’s father says he’s grateful to Putin

    John Shipton, the father of WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange, has said that he is grateful to Russian President Vladimir Putin for supporting his son amid his persecution by the Western authorities.

    Shipton arrived in Moscow on Sunday at the invitation of Russian journalist Mira Terada, the co-chair of the BRICS Journalists’ Association.

    “In 2012, President Putin became the first head of state to speak out in defense of Julian’s interests as a publisher and citizen,” Shipton told RIA Novosti.

    Putin came forward when only “defamatory lies” were spread about his son in the media, Assange’s father said. “For this, I express my sympathy to your president,” he added. …

    Bezalel Smotrich calls for Israel’s borders to extend to Damascus

    Far-right Israeli Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich has drawn criticism for calling for Israel to expand its borders to Damascus in a recent documentary.

    In an interview for the documentary, In Israel: Ministers of Chaos, produced by European public service channel, Arte, Smotrich claimed that Israel would expand “little by little” and eventually encompass all Palestinian territories as well as Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia.

    “It is written that the future of Jerusalem is to expand to Damascus,” he said, citing the “greater Israel” ideology, which envisions the expansion of the state across the Middle East. …

    Up to $41 billion in World Bank climate finance unaccounted for, Oxfam finds

    An Oxfam audit of the World Bank’s 2017-2023 climate finance portfolio found that between $24 billion and $41 billion in climate finance went unaccounted for between the time projects were approved and when they closed.

    There is no clear public record showing where this money went or how it was used, which makes any assessment of its impacts impossible. It also remains unclear whether these funds were even spent on climate-related initiatives intended to help low- and middle-income countries protect people from the impacts of the climate crisis and invest in clean energy.

    Family of Christian soldier who fell in Gaza asked to remove cross from his headstone

    Bogdanovski’s family immigrated to Israel from Ukraine in 2014, and David enlisted in the IDF and served in the engineering corps.

    OCTOBER 22, 2024 12:22

    The Defense Ministry is attempting to reach an agreement with the family of IDF Staff-Sergeant David Bogdanovskyi, who fell in battle in the south of the Gaza Strip in December, to remove a cross from his headstone.

    “By law, it is not permissible to place a cross or any other religious marker on a military headstone,” the ministry said. The family said that other graves in the cemetery have religious markers on them, N12 reported.

    “This is especially important in the Haifa military cemetery, where fallen Jewish soldiers are also buried,” the ministry added, citing a ruling by the IDF Chief Rabbi that states that the holiness of the Jewish cemetery is harmed by the cross.

    The ministry said it is working with the public committee for soldier memorial to reach an agreement with the family “in light of requests by families whose loved ones are buried nearby, who claim that the cross hurts their feelings and their ability to pray and say [the] Kadish [mourning prayer], and in light of the ruling of the IDF chief Rabbi.” …

    Have a chat to them. You might find that sometimes they disagree, or confuse matters, trying to persuade you that scientific scepticism isn’t the right starting point; and that people in power haven’t been revealed as having tried to fake all manner of things; and that credible scientists haven’t queried and challenged even the exact causes of harm from the poison injections; and that being sceptical of what’s presented to you in the ‘news’ – which people such as Naomi Wolf, with her industry insight and experience, have told you’d be crazy not to nowadays – could trigger a sort of diabolical doubling-back of disbelieving your own eyes when it comes to the very Covid carnage that led you here in the first place… gaslighting upon gaslighting?!

    Shakespeare called a speaker a prater. Eliza Doolittle sang about words, words, words. Psychology 101 has us acknowledging a problem and taking action (as well as talktalktalking about it). Business – or any outcome-focused endeavour – would have us asking what are we actually achieving. As comforting as words may be – and are – what conclusion are we, the people to draw from the fact that most ‘public thought leaders’, even ‘freedom movement leaders’, will only go ‘so far and no further’ – perhaps understandably enough – but all the while urging us to “Be brave! Speak out (just within these parameters, sorry, thank you)!”? They show us their boundaries by what they will, and won’t, say. These are people with greater power, resources and influence, and more extensive connections, than so many scattered ordinary individuals. What conclusion to draw other than that talk of defending “Our Democracy” is the stuff of dreams, fantasy? Would the ‘thought leader’ / ‘freedom leader’ conversation at least be more honest if it owned up to a perception of the inescapability of Their Tyranny, its deadly, destructive effects, and how powerless, helpless even, are ordinary people? But we can talk. And go on talking in circles. Of endless tomorrows.

    The Archbishop of Canterbury admonished people that getting the poison injections was “not about me and my rights to choose” but rather, “To love one another, as Jesus said, get vaccinated, get boosted…It’s Christmas: do what he said”. (Some of the faithful still await elucidation as to the precise Biblical citation/translation regarding participation in dangerous medical experiments, especially in light of public acknowledgments about the lie of “vaccines” “preventing transmission”.)

    Then, it was supposedly a “moral” duty to “get vaccinated, get boosted”… and possibly get dead or disabled. Now Archbishop Vigano would have us forget all the Covid carnage stuff and vote for the “Father of the vaccines” as some fresh “moral” duty.
