This is how a leader of a Left Party should be speaking. Expressing our anger. Bravo Jean-Luc.
🇫🇷 "Iran is exercising its legitimate right to defend its sovereignty, its people, and its resources, after being subjected to blatant aggression". A striking statement from France’s most popular politician and Macron’s potential successor, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the LFI

Kinda awkward when you start a war to destroy nukes that the other side doesn't have and instead they destroy the nukes that you do have 👀

As Tel Aviv looks evermore like Gaza, does anyone in Israel pause in introspection? Regret the glee they felt at the suffering of other people? Their full throated cries for more and more murder? Their dismissal of the women and children at their mercy as human animals? Anyone?

Pray that Israel gets treated the way that it treated people in Gaza.
Iran is aiming its missiles at civilians, and the world stays silent, normalizing it. Pray for Israel. We will prevail. God bless America. God bless Israel.

Nobody. Not Nasser not Saddam, nobody, has ever paid back Israel’s crimes like Iran is doing every day and every night. No King no Amir. Nobody.

The Economist is that imperialist rag which, since its inception, have stood on the wrong side of history: 1. Supported English imperialism in the mid-19th century, 2. Supported Bush's disastrous Iraq war, 3. It even treated the women's suffrage movement as 'premature.'
Economist Defence Editor spent days insulting me on twitter after I criticised Israel’s actions in Gaza. Seeing what his boss tjinks helps me understand his conduct better

The biggest question India should be asking right now is this: we condemned South Africa’s apartheid, we stood up for Civil Rights and Martin Luther King. So why are we silent on Israel’s apartheid against Palestinians? What happened to our spine?

Aditya Dhar — or Christopher Nolan for the Indian right wing, I should say dolt wing — is being called out globally now, with IGN calling Dhurandhar ‘naked piece of propaganda.’ Indian audience is truly utterly stupid, as Satyajit Ray once claimed. https://t.co/qops1J6kxk

Review: The sequel to Bollywood’s biggest hit, the violent spy saga Dhurandhar: The Revenge is a naked piece of political propaganda that lacks the momentum of its predecessor.

three of the biggest Muslim superstars of this country Dilip Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan have all paid tribute to Ram in their songs. this is how Bollywood always celebrate Ram but also his values, with love and respect. Even Aamir Khan has a song, O Paalan Haare.
If Bollywood is truly secular, name 5 songs which have 'Rama' in their lyrics.

I hated Tucker Carlson. I have been ideologically opposed to him. But I can’t ignore this: his uncompromising opposition to Zionist evil has cracked something open in me towards him. I don’t think I have seen anyone so openly condemn Israel, Netanyahu, the Gaza genocide.

One of the few reviews from India that has the courage to confront bigotry for what it is. by @Deepansh75 . Bravo!
Opinion | There is a version of this film that could have been devastating—a critique of a nation that fails its citizens and then feeds on their grief. But Dhar isn’t interested in that film. He is interested in myth-making: in building a world where obedience is virtue, where

My father, Prof Tripathi revisited Uttam Nagar today. He found that local residents do not hold hatred towards each other. The police presence remains strong, and even they indicated that there is no major immediate threat of violence. This brought him some relief. However, the

That famous match cut in Lawrence of Arabia (1962) almost wasn’t the moment we know. David Lean originally planned a slow dissolve. Editor Anne V. Coates suggested a hard cut instead, inspired by the French New Wave.
Best transition ever filmed?

If you read Blood Meridian, No Country for Old Men, and The Road in that order, it's like the life cycle of civilization: its bloody birth out of chaos, its violent decline, and its apocalyptic death in flames. I think that's why I found The Road so special. It's
About to start Blood Meridian for the first time. Give me all your best advice.
