The next flagrant violation of international law. The next war of aggression. The next murder of people Israel and the US claim to be in “negotiations” with. The next proof that Israel has no intention for peace, only for the total annihilation of the Palestinian people.

We are proud to present Safadfood AB, a company offering high-quality carbonated beverages, run by a Palestinian family and based in Sweden. Our drinks are more than just a refreshing treat – they represent a symbol of unity and community.

…

100% of our profits go directly to war-affected people and children in Palestine. Through our work, we aim to alleviate the suffering of those living in uncertainty and challenging conditions. Our goal is to support the most vulnerable and help build a brighter future for those hardest hit by conflict.

…

It is as good as it gets in the current situation. Israel would never allow Palestinians in the Westbank, leave alone Gaza become successful with such a brand.

Let me tell you about the tale of Neoliberalism and the center “left”. Our story begins in the 1980s, but it really takes of in the early 2000s. At the time a bloke named Tony was ruling the UK as prime minister and he had a fine Atze ruling Germany, whose name was Gerhard…

Together they dismantled social security, raised taxes on their people, and lowered taxes on their rich friends. They sold much of their realm to their rich friends, at a staggering discount. They said this would be best for the people and the global markets would demand, but also reward as such…

France is heavily centralized, has deep rooted corruption, favors the rich with tax exemptions and loopholes while dismantling social security and basic opportunities for the lower and middle class, believes itself to be a global power and maintains a military accordingly, but fails to secure its post-colonial resource exploitation more and more. Add to that a catastrophic strategic blunder in focusing on more nuclear power as the primary energy source, instead of developing much cheaper renewables, which will probably cost the country hundreds of billions if not trillions over the next century.

While Macron was hailed as some sort of “center alternative” to Le Pen in many media outlets outside of France, he actually is a hardcore neoliberal that set out to pillage the country in favor of the rich even more and blame it on the immigrants, further helping the Fascists gain momentum.

For reference how bad the corruption in France is. Former president Sarkozy and his crownies are currently under investigation as they have been bankrolled by the former Libyan dictator Gaddafi.

So it is basically what we see in many countries around the world right now, but the decline is more advanced. France used to be able to mask its internal economic decline with its resource exploitation.

The BBC is omitting a crucial point here. There aren’t only videos of spokespeople saying they were attacked. There is multiple videos from different angles, all showing the matching scene of something burning being dropped onto the ship, where it explodes.

It is literally on video and beyond any reasonable doubt, that the ship was attacked by an incendiary device being dropped onto it.

The videos are consistent with each other. The videos of the attack itself have matching time-stamps.

Either an update of the Tunisian government hasn’t reached the western press yet, or the Tunisian government is doubling down on a lie in order to safe face in the wake of a direct attack on their sovereignty and their failure to identify and prevent the threat.

And the most obvious way to move a ship is by sea. Ships are made to move on water. There is no more logical way to move a ship and its content across the Mediterranean Sea than by sailing it.

Despite existing land-routes shipping remains the backbone of global transportation and you would be shocked to find the amount of ships transporting goods and people across the Mediterranean Sea, or the Baltic Sea, or any other route that has land-routes available. But it goes even further! Rivers and channels remain crucial shipping lanes inside Europe despite streets and train-tracks being right next to them. Almost as if ships are great means of transportation!

EDIT: I am sorry, i got cocky with that comment.

Despite existing land-routes shipping remains the backbone of global transportation and ships usually are preferential to land-routes in particular in the Mediterranean Sea or the Baltic Sea. There also are many shipping routes based on rivers and channels, which have streets and train-tracks right next to it, but maintain shipping as the preferred method of transport for many goods. Shipping is a great mean of transportation and in many cases it is the best option.

Fascism thrives on fear as a means to control. It fosters it. It kindles it. It works hard to keep reasons up for people to feel fear, so that they turn off their thinking and let the fascists control their fear.

While in Western Europe the past 70 years were mostly working on the notion that your wealth and well being would increase, we now are at a point, where the future will have mostly loss of wealth and well being relative to the parents generation. In that climate, Fascists can easily foster, exploit and twist those fears.

“Climate change? It isn’t real and it is just a hoax to take your car away! Global instability and mass expulsion of people? It is just the brown people wanting to steal your social security! Don’t look at the countries and corporations running the globe into the ground and being in bed with the Fascists! Look at the people struggling as a result of it. Hate them, look down on them and fear them. And fear becoming like them, as we dismantle the very same systems that gave you a stable livelihood!”

Fascism is a self fulfilling prophecy of fear, anger and decline for the people falling into it and a brief mania of total control and superiority for the Fascist leaders, until the whole system comes crashing down, as it inevitably does.

Maybe France should just make a betting rack on how long their prime ministers last and use that money to reduce their debt?

Polio is on the rise again. New wild variants as well as vaccine derived strands are contributing to it.

When vaccination rate and access to healthcare are good, this does not cause an issue, but if it lowers, or if the health system is deliberately destroyed like in Gaza, it creates the ground for a new outbreak.

I used to run SuSE and i appreciate their 100% open-source philosophy. But when i can’t run videos on websites because the codec isn’t open source, it is not suitable as a daily driver.

I’d be happy for you to provide sources for your claim then.

Even the Media Bias Fact Checking considers Middle East Eye “high credibility”, despite the MBFC having a pro US pro Israel bias.

Germany is supplying “Anti-Tank” Rocket launchers, for which videos exists of IDF soldiers blowing up houses in Gaza with them. The submarines are used as part of the patrol to enact the sea blockade against Gaza, which is crucial for starving the people in Gaza to death and kill fishermen trying to fish near the coast. Israeli Merkava tanks run on tank engines and gear boxes by German manufacturers. Without these neither the onslaught in Gaza, nor the invasion of Syria would be possible. Other deliveries included artillery ammunition. But also other “gear” like helmets, plate carriers, communication equipment… they all serve an invading and occupying army and are thereby part of the attack.

I agree that it is part of a smoke screen. But the smokescreen already starts in claiming these systems would be deadly or the claim that they would suspend systems that could be used in Gaza, but continue to supply systems that could be used elsewhere. First of all the distinction cannot be made outside of a “pinky promise” and even if it could, Israel is illegally occupying the Westbank and parts of Syria and parts of Lebanon and soon following up probably with Egypt and Jordan to create a zone, where they can ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from Gaza and the Westbank to.

In that sense even “air-defense” is part of an invasion army, and serves to continue invading, rather than the alleged “self-defense”

If it is very dry, doesn’t that also mean it is less likely to spread/leak into the aquifer?

E.g. dried cow-manure seems to be fine for the environment to handle.

For extra absurdity:

If i remember correctly the issue with the estimation of the value of houses and land was, that it was done based on 1918 and 1930 or so baseline values that then were adjusted over the years, but the underlying structure, which areas are expensive, which are cheap, what infrastructure is available… was never changed.

So because of systematically undervaluing property to benefit rich people, the wealth tax was stopped because the court found that it is unjust by undervaluing property.

Germany is a Banana Republic which affords more professors to devise ways in which to claim the contrary.

I wonder when we will get from “EU is Hamas” to “we should drop a nuke on Strasbourg and Brussels.”

was the twelfth known leak off Russia’s Black Sea coast this year, according to independent news outlet Agentstvo.

WTF. How can this still be economical to run even? Aside from the obvious that the EU needs to stop financing Russias war chest through direct or indirect purchases of their oil, We need to liberate ourselves from oil and gas products as quickly as possible. These industries are inherently destructive.

The fact that multiple politicians, including former ministers, demand the UK to leave a convention on Human Rights, is an alarming signal for the new UK Authoritarianism/Fascism rising.

At this point it is in the best interests of the people living in Northern Ireland to join the Republic, no matter their former allegiances.

The DNC Dems are there to prevent a progressive party from forming. The DNC Dems are working together with the Reps to fight against the people of America for the rich oligarchs running the country.

We warned that this is what is going on before the last presidential election and before that. But people wouldn’t want to listen, instead defending “slow genocide” and “lesser of two evils” and other insane statements. Now they keep getting screwed as the DNC Dems understand that they will keep getting away with it.

I remember that you used to see all tye mods name of a subreddit. The past three years you can’t anymore or not by default.
