except this rotten regime has been exposed like never before - at a horrendous price, but exposed nevertheless. 'ethnic cleansing' from 48 to today isn't a fact treated as a fringe view now, it's plain to see.
moreover, it isn't working. population parity has driven them insane
whenever Israel has a PR crisis because people can see them mass murdering babies and children, beheading them, burning them alive, Zionist propagandists come up with a deranged patently absurd deflection, the point of which is to get you to stop talking about them mass killing

Despite the array of at-a-distance investigations with differing conclusions, he’s still going with IDF tells truth and Arabs are liars
putin health crisis reports presently have as much evidence/credibility as israel bombed a hospital and killed 500.
please treat accordingly.

The Syria war was not only disastrous for Syrians but Turkey, Uyghurs and victims of ISIS attacks around the world
But it worked out just fine for the petrodollar states funding the war and the war cultists cheering it on

The momentum for ethnic cleansing is slowing as the reality dawns on the ideologically lunatic Western regimes - US, UK, France, Germany - that there’s no regional buy in and too many dire scenarios of blowback
Watching the US media cope with Israeli dysfunction is fascinating.
CNN reports as if Israel is in the driver’s seat.
The IDF is demoralized, panicked over urban warfare it can’t fight.
Israeli leadership is in chaotic collapse.
International opinion is flipping, as the world

Its options diminishing for war with neighbors or shoving Palestinians into Sinai, the nasty little regime takes out its frustrations by murdering Haniyeh’s sons. A craven desperate move
#Gaza
#اسماعيل_هنية
Israel murdering the children and grandchildren of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh - the kids were aged 10, 8 and 4 - in Gaza is depraved, medieval style slaughter.
They weren't butchered while attempting to kill Haniyeh, who is in Qatar.
Israel killed his family to make a point.

Forgotten Arabia: Himyarite Yemen and Early Islam
Islamic historians have tended to overfocus on the more easily intelligible north Arabia and dismiss the south

"Islamophobia" followed Russian Jewish activist Leon Pinsker's use of “Judeophobia” (Judenphobie) in his 1882 German language pamphlet Auto-Emancipation, in which he said a Jewish national homeland was needed as response to pogroms and unequal national rights

Apart from having all the humour of a bag of hair,
#CharlieHebdo
apparently thinks it’s defending free speech. That’s the joke. Where were their croddy cartoons when European Human Rights Court this year defended BDS activists convicted in French courts as freedom of expression

FYI Algeria was considered part of France but not its Muslims.
Public discourse about Muslims as a threat to France’s African colonies was so off the charts that a French bureaucrat wrote a critical study of the phenomenon in 1910, calling it ‘Islamophobia’

this is outrageous
British government hides behind innocuous seeming researchers to spy on Palestinians for signs of - shock, horror - “criticism of Western and Israeli foreign policy”
involving "security studies" morons from Kings College
Leaked Adam Smith International documents detail British government project to spy on Palestinians

1/ in late historian Patricia Crone’s early books there is the notion of stark civilizational/identitarian divide between the settled people of the Levant and Mesopotamia, on the one hand, and Bedouin communities of the Arabian Peninsula, on the other

Dr. Cornel West is the first big name with the balls to run outside the two party duopoly

A farce indeed. Pulitzer has become empire reinforcing pap. Nominate them for an MBC Entertainment Award, why don’t you. Personally presented by Nadim Koteich
The New York Times has won a Pulitzer for its “wide ranging and revelatory coverage” of Oct. 7th and Israel's ensuing mass murder campaign. A top journalism prize for laundering Israeli gov't lies and whitewashing its atrocities. What a joke.
