This is who the U.S. decided to partner with. Monsters who kill children. We killed children in Iran, Israel killed children in Lebanon. We are not on the right side of humanity

Muslims traumatised after right-wing attack on community dinner
A Muslim community in Ballarat is left traumatised after a man barged into a community dinner allegedly throwing punches and yelling abuse.
"A 37-year-old man was interviewed by police at the scene and was then given a direction to move on."
It seems staggeringly unlikely if a Muslim came in throwing fists, threatening to kill people and shouting anti-semitic slogans at kids during Hannukah they'd be allowed to leave peacefully.

Alcoa slugged $55 million over illegal jarrah forest clearing
_By: Aaron Bunch_
Alcoa has agreed to pay $55 million to restore a forest habitat that's home to protected species after clearing it for bauxite mining without approvals.
Alcoa has been given the green light to clear more Australian forest after being fined for stripping land for bauxite mining without approvals.
The US aluminium giant has agreed to pay $55 million to restore the environment as part of an enforceable undertaking reached with the federal government on Wednesday.
It relates to habitat destruction in the Northern Jarrah Forest, south of Perth, between 2019 and 2025.
"It's the largest conservationāfocused commitment of its kind," Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt said as he spruiked the deal.
The company did not seek the appropriate legal approvals to clear the land under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
The agreement, which is enforceable in the Federal Court, will deliver permanent ecological offsets to preserve important habitat.
Alcoa misleads investors on crucial WA mining approvalsChief executive Bill Oplinger told Wall Street the miner had responded to all 60,000 comments on its WA expansion plansāin fact, it responded to fewer than 10, and some were unacceptable.Boiling ColdPeter Milne
It will also expand conservation programs for species, including Western Australia's three black cockatoo species, and strengthen invasiveāspecies management within the Northern Jarrah Forest.
Senator Watt also granted Alcoa a nationalāinterest exemption to allow the company to continue land clearing for its mining operations for 18 months, while a strategic assessment is completed.
This will ensure the continued supply of bauxite for industry in Australia and with trade partners, he said.
It also ensures Alcoa can sustain its operations, which employ about 6000 workers.
The miner has committed to pay $4.2 million in additional offsets for activities covered by the exemption for management of the environmental impacts.
The federal environment department and Alcoa have agreed to develop a strategic assessment agreement to enable future environmental approvals.
This will guide sustainable mining at Alcoa's Huntly and Willowdale mining operations, around 100km south of Perth, until 2045.
"This agreement will enable government to assess the cumulative environmental impacts of Alcoa's local mining operations and provide strong protections for threatened species and ecological communities, while offering Alcoa long-term operational certainty," Senator Watt said.
Alcoa lied about jarrah forest rehabilitation: ad watchdogThe Ad Standards decision has demolished a key plank of the US minerās expensive campaign to win public support for expanded mining in WA.Boiling ColdPeter Milne
Alcoa said modernising the approvals framework will provide a better understanding of the potential impacts of land clearing and mining on significant flora and fauna into the future.
The company will continue to limit clearing to 800 hectares per year and increase new rehabilitation rates annually to 1,000 hectares per year by 2027.
"We are committed to responsible operations and welcome this important step in transitioning our approvals to a contemporary assessment process that provides increased certainty for our operations and our people into the future," Alcoa president and chief executive William F Oplinger said.
The strategic assessment will not impact an ongoing accredited environmental assessment of the future Myara North and Holyoake mine regions of the Huntly mine under WA and federal environment law.
The Minerals Council of Australia said the agreement was a pragmatic decision by Alcoa and the federal government.
Chief executive Tania Constable called on state and federal governments to "rapidly finalise" workable national environmental standards and assessment agreements to reduce mine approval delays.
The US miner illegally destroyed the habitat of endangered black cockatoos for six years.
