Israel are really proving to be very grubby people in war. The latest act with The IDF targeting and killing UN peace keepers in South Lebanon.

Yesterday, the far-right Israeli Finance Minister threatened the southern suburbs of Beirut with the same fate of destruction as the Khan Younis neighbourhood in the Gaza Strip

A scarier aspect of the war on Iran is that it is being run by the Dunning Kruger 🤡brigade who believe themselves to be the epitome of genetic superiority’s dictate that 💰white men are categorically better.

More disturbing still were two international speakers. One of them, Bradley Thayer, was introduced to the audience as representing the American Freedom Alliance (AFA). That body is a Southern Poverty Law Center-listed Islamophobic hate group. It has decades of involvement in the network of operations fostering the demonisation of Muslims and Islam. The Fairbrook Foundation behind it was named as one of the top funders of Islamophobic activity twice in the Center for American Progress's 2009 and 2015 Fear inc. reports. The network is no joke: the white supremacist functioning as Trump's Prime Minister to fill pop-up concentration camps learnt his trade in one of its junktanks.

MAGA is finally ditching the Trump Regime. People like Alex Jones & Nick Fuentes are furious Trump has hidden the Epstein files & is starting WW3.

Wait until they hear the Iran war is expected to go until September & oil prices are going from $65 a barrel to $150 a barrel.

All to help Israel.

Researchers on social violence in France have been quick to emphasise that far-right groups continue to perpetrate the bulk of politically motivated killings, increasingly targeting Muslims, immigrants and Jews as well as left-wing opponents. Sociologist Isabelle Sommier stressed that of the 57 deaths linked to violence between political groups recorded between 1986 and 2017, the radical right had been responsible for all but five.

france24.com Video footage shows a brief scuffle as counter-protesters tried to snatch a banner carried by Némésis activists, dragging several to the ground - a scuffle from which Deranque appears to have kept his distance. Instead, the violence that led to the 23-year-old student's death broke out hundreds of metres away from the university, on the other side of a dark tunnel burrowing under the railway tracks reaching towards the city's main train station. The moments leading up to Deranque's fatal beating are still fiercely debated, with a video published by anti-fascist site Contre-Attaque showing a group of more than a dozen armed and masked ultranationalist militants charging a group of far-left militants at the junction outside the tunnel. Subsequent footage published by Le Canard Enchaîné shows a fierce clash between a bloc of black-clad far-right militants, some armed with pepper spray, reinforced gloves, a metal crutch and a pyrotechnic flare, and a group of anti-fascist militants, largely in street clothes. Members of both groups were masked and traded blows. At one point in the video, a far-right militant ignites the pyrotechnic flare and hurls it at the head of one of his opponents. Another blasts the leftists with what seems like pepper spray as his comrades ١٠.٠

This account of the bashing death of a young white supremacist antisemite in France makes it sound like it was only v bad luck for him that he was the one to die when heavily equipped Neo Nazis attacked leftists in street clothes. Right is using it to discredit Left. www.france24.com/en/france/20...

I have only just recently started digging into data centres and water, and the way companies are hiding vital information is beyond belief. It is so, so dodgy.

The entire project to widely popularise the idea these concerns are "fake" makes so much sense in this context

Powerful right-wing regressive weirdos gather to plot at Atlas-linked conference in Australia - The Shot There is a transnational Islamophobia Industry of massive family foundations and “think tank” operations that have been generating fear and loathing of Muslims since the 1990s.

Muslims 'should not be forced to beg' for protection, Labor MP says Labor backbencher Ed Husic says Islamophobia should be examined as part of Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion.

“The royal commission is about both antisemitism and social cohesion, and if there is not going to be an examination of Islamophobia, that is really concerning," he told the ABC.

"Muslim Australians should not feel [like] they have to beg for protection."

Soldiers from the US military were allegedly told that President Donald Trump was "anointed by Jesus" and that Washington's attack on Iran was "all part of God's divine plan":
