Can’t have freedom of the press holding a mirror to settler colonialism, now, can we?

This is it. The proposed resolution didn’t call for a ceasefire. The weasel words fooled nobody.

If world trade bypasses US-dominated institutions, then the only leverage the Americans have is their military. And that doesn’t bode well for civilian rule.

“…and then the native Americans left, to make room for the settlers” Yeah, that’s exactly how it happened.

Check with your local city council or municipality. The laws preventing municipally owned Internet are being fought and overturned with Internet As A Utility.

Even in Texas, the City of Mont Belvieu was getting the shaft by local incumbents that wouldn’t invest in the network. The city took them to court and sidestepped the law, setting precedent. Fiber to the home is now a reality there.

I’m working on getting the same thing done in other towns and cities in this state. Might be a great challenge if you’re up for that sort of thing.

Thank you for this.

I’m hoping you can also see through the article.

This is more propaganda trying to justify the colonial brutality of Zionism.

-They refer to the victim as “the Palestinian”, dehumanizing him and thus trivializing his injuries.

-The idea that 16 different officers’ body cameras all fail simultaneously is suspect, to put it mildly.

-The fact that it took 16 highly trained people to restrain one person is difficult to believe. I will say, I am glad(? Bad word, but I can’t think of the right one) that they didn’t just murder the man and cover it up.

-This was a planned raid in Occupied East Jerusalem.

The officers knew who this man was, and where he was.

-The graphic of boot shoelaces is unbelievable. Fabric laces don’t cause that type of skin damage while keeping the surrounding skin untouched.

Edited the post to show the image of Israeli barbarism. This is happening NOW in Palestine. This is happening to innocent people. There is NO EXCUSE. Zionism and Israeli barbarism must end.

 

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank were shot by Israelis on Friday, one by soldiers and the other by settlers, the Palestinian health ministry said.

Late Friday it announced the death of Qusai Jamal Maatan, 19, saying he was "shot dead by settlers in the village of Burqa", east of Ramallah.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

Earlier, soldiers had shot dead another young Palestinian.

In a statement, the Palestinian health ministry said 18-year-old Mahmoud Abu Saan was "killed this morning by live bullets from the occupation (Israel) in Tulkarm".

The opposition camp will hold consultations prior to giving a final answer to French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian regarding his proposal for holding dialogue on September[…]

 

Practical matters require French to remain a working language, but no longer will it hold prestige as an official means of communication. Another win for the continued decolonization efforts in the imperial periphery.

 

Jewish supremacy, legalized segregation, and punishing freedom of speech and political opinion.
