Dictatorships on UN bodies
Absurdly, repressive regimes are routinely elected to key UN bodies mandated to protect human rights (Human Rights Council), promote womenโs rights and gender equality (UN Women & Commission on the Status of Women), promote education and protect freedom of the press (UNESCO), and oversee the work of human rights groups (Committee on NGOs).
#WTF Absurdly, repressive regimes are routinely elected to key UN bodies mandated to protect human rights, promote womenโs rights and gender equality, promote education and protect freedom of the press, and oversee the work of human rights groups.
Over time, the #UN has turned into a bad joke.

Some folks like criticizing Miller for the fascist shit he does all the live long day because heโs a stupid fucking shande who doesnโt think the hammer will ever come down on his own head or his equally stupid wifeโs head.
Some folks just like an excuse to be antisemitic.
I can tell the difference.

Americans cannot be told we are doing things just because it is morally correct, we have to expose and underline the raw power politics underneath it and that will create its own risks.

The thing about a vote to overturn democracy is that it is fundamentally illegitimate. The moment the vote passes and democracy ends, the idea that voting confers legitimacy is repudiated, thereby robbing the vote of its legitimacy.

Israel is the worldโs largest population of Holocaust survivors and Black and Brown Jews. Thatโs why the actual oppressors want you hating Israel. Welcome to the party. Also the people who were most chopped up by Hamas were the hardcore pro-Gazan peace activists.

I have listened and learned. I will NEVER AGAIN call for increased taxes (carceral, eugencicist). Instead, income transfers should be decided through tax credits (humane, progressive)

Free trade worked basically as advertised - the problem is that anti-traders get to argue from an imaginary world of 1920s ads and free traders have to defend the real world

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because itโs literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because theyโre brown. Itโs a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

I will grant that there were always bad things. I will grant that not dealing with the bad things allowed them to get worse. But I refuse to believe everything was always *this* bad, because I remember them being relatively better.

Shlomo Ron, 85, was murdered by Hamas in his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7.
During the attack, his wife, two daughters, and grandson hid in the safe room. Without hesitation, Shlomo went out and calmly sat in his easy chair in the living room.

I do take Palestine demos today as expressions of support for the October 7th atrocities, and I do assume the people attending are either clueless or active supporters. I do consider 'Globalise the intifada' to be inciteful, and certainly as outrageous as 'Gllobalise the nakbah' would be.

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Okay, you can say what you want about Israel and what's going on in Gaza. But Ms. Thunberg's statement: "Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved" is a bald-faced lie.
There was no aid on any of those ships.

Two years ago, on October 7, 2023, the terrorist movement Hamas and some other groups cold-bloodedly murdered more than 1,200 people because they were Jews.
In the face of radical barbarism, there can be no โbuts.โ
Without at first this unconditional condemnation, everything else is meaningless.

Let there be no doubt:
Any pro-Palestinian events that take place on October 7th are a celebration of October 7th
The ground war didn't start until 20 days later
Any pro-Palestinian events that take place on October 7th are a celebration of a time when Israel was still finding bodies and trying to identify them from their teeth

Greta is lying.
Israel violated no laws.
Greta violated internat'l law by trying to break a blockade in wartime.
Also, she carried virtually no aid. She could have delivered aid through legal channels, but aid was never the point. Anti-Zionism was.
It was a hate campaign, not a rescue mission.

This shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering these antisemitic pieces of shit went to Auschwitz to hold one of their Nuremberg rallies on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Jews are an indigenous people.
This is because we are an ethnic group with a land-based agricultural religion that revolves around our
ancestral lands.
We've also kept a culture distinct from dominant society, despite being conquered by empires.

This.
A group is planning a "flood NYC for Gaza" event on 10/7.
"Flood" was Hamas's code name for the attack - Al Aqsa Flood.
So spare me "they're pro-human rights."
No, they are evil ghouls.

Just gonna say, calling to "flood New York City for Gaza" on the literal anniversary of the pogrom that they're trying desperately to convince the public both didn't happenal and was righteous kind of gives the game away for some.

Also we're just dumping lots of money into companies that are pretty sure that they can convince rocks with lightning trapped inside to materialize a heretofore undiscovered species of rabbit jumping out of the right hat.
