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

“Trust me bro” -America

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.

Terrorist, noun, Definition: Any person or group the United States government doesn’t like.

“…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.

This is the reality of “Judeonazi” (as warned about by Prof Yeshayahu Leibowitz)

Exactly.

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.

Israelis keep invading and occupying land, brutalizing the indigenous Palestinians, and get all Pikachu face when they fight back.

So instead of ending the occupation (and forming a secular one state solution), Israeli occupation soldiers and colonists keep killing innocent Palestinians.

Glad to know you’d be ok being shot with a rubber coated steel bullet. “Other issues” be damned, right?

Because when you’re peacefully fishing in your own territorial waters, whether you’re shot with a rubber coated steel bullet or shot with a beanbag is irrelevant. The crime is you’re being shot at by a foreign occupying force.

The victim was shot with rubber coated steel bullets, per the second article. It’s still a crime committed by the Israeli occupation forces.

Context: In Lebanon, both the Chamber of Deputies (or Parliament, legislative branch) and Council of Ministers (executive branch) can propose laws. However, these must be scrutinized and passed by Parliament in order to actually become law.

Berri is one of many warlords rebranded as politicians, siphoning state resources to enrich himself, his family and feed his cult of personality and patronage.

This slight of hand trick saying the law has to be passed by the outgoing cabinet (which doesn’t have a mandate) before it goes to parliament is both patently absurd and not in line with the Lebanese constitution.

The cabinet resigned and the government fell. This cabinet cannot do anything but keep the lights on, until a new government is formed.

Berri, as head of the legislature, refuses to call and force sessions so that a government can be elected and given the mandate to govern.

Yet another example of how the Lebanese state is a series of petty fiefdoms all vying for power, while the people suffer.

Here’s another news outlet reporting on the same incident, with the victim’s name and the source as the Fishermen’s Syndicate.

Israeli occupation forces prevent Palestinian civilians from fishing in their own territorial waters. This, despite Israeli claims of disengagement from the occupied Gaza Strip.

Occupied, yes. Because Israel controls the air, sea, and with the Egyptian military regime’s coordination, land, making the Gaza Strip the world’s largest open air prison.

France mostly uses nuclear power for electricity. It looks like they generate 70% of their electricity from nuclear power plants.
