This is preposterous. A German journalist-citizen has been de-personed by the European Commission for daring to write on the genocide - branding him a 'Russian asset'. Having denied him the means of survival in his own country, they have now done the same to his wife. Putin is laughing his head off as the 'liberal democratic' West is descending fast into the pits of fascistic authoritarianism.

!!! HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY CALL !!! As of yesterday, German authorities seized the bank accounts of my wife. She is not sanctioned and has committed no crime. As of now we have only ca. 104 euros left — with two newborn babies and one 7-year-old child!!! @yanisvaroufakis @ClareDalyIRL @wallacemick @kennardmatt @Stella_Assange @PLottaz @Miquel_R @irezugasti @RSF_inter @amnesty_de @amnesty @_ZachFoster @CasparShaller @AliAbunimah @MaryKostakidis @der_neukoellner @SevimDagdelen @mkhalili @LaBase_TV @PabloIglesias @falasteen47 @EyeonPalestine @newscord_org @FWarweg @jungewelt @FuocoSavinelli @AlanRMacLeod @MintPressNews @wallacemick @_jneumann @amnesty_de @ChrisLynnHedges @IJFMedia @Fidias0 @johnnyjmils @goldi @CPJ_Eurasia @fehimtastekin @georgegalloway @euobs @AssalRad @OrenZiv_

After the right to torture Palestinians, Apartheid Israel claims the right to HANG Palestinians. The shame of the century continues. Ben Gvir belongs in The Hague.

“A law of death that only applies to Palestinians.” Protesters gathered outside Downing Street to demand that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer act rather than just condemn Israel’s new death penalty law for Palestinians. Al Jazeera’s Mohammad Saleh reports.

Israel passed a law making the death penalty the default sentence for certain lethal attacks, with Palestinians fearing it could lead to executions without due process reut.rs/4c4fYDv

Returns to education: OLS vs Machine Learning -- New paper (with @Al_Mansor_Hela + @RyotaroHiraki): Using 2024 CPS data, we compare OLS vs. double machine learning to estimate returns to education in the U.S. Bottom line: 8-9% per additional year Remarkably consistent across methods OLS still performs well in low-dimensional, near-linear settings edre.uark.edu/_resources/pdf…

BREAKING: Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon is illegal, says Canada's PM Mark Carney, condemning it in clear terms. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/qbbcjy

Israel has passed the death penalty solely for Palestinians, enforced through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. Israeli Minister Ben Gvir popped champagne. The Israeli government is raising a toast to genocidal apartheid. The UK government is arming and funding it.

BREAKING: UN rights chief Volker Turk slams the Israeli parliament’s approval of a “deeply discriminatory” new death penalty bill, warning that applying it on occupied Palestinian territory “would constitute a war crime.” 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/3m4oa4

The US bombed a primary school in Iran, killing 168 girls. Why is nobody talking about this anymore? These abominable war crimes should not be forgotten — and nor should the lives, hopes and dreams of human beings who were slaughtered with impunity.

UNRWA’s outgoing head Philippe Lazzarini has called for an independent investigation into the killing of more than 390 staff during Israel’s ongoing genocidal war on Gaza. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/hnjlh9

Outrage has followed Israel legalising the death penalty for Palestinians, making execution mandatory for any convicted of deadly attacks. European governments, rights groups, and Palestinians are appalled, calling it a violation of international law that must be repealed.

Israel's legislators chose dispassionately to turn their Apartheid State, formally, into a Genocidal State. Not only is Israel a state formally demoting Palestinians to second class status but also one free to hang them, and only them, legally. nytimes.com/2026/03/30/wor…

Spain has closed its airspace to US planes involved in attacks on Iran. Meanwhile, the UK is letting US bombers land, refuel and re-arm. Complicity is always a choice — and our government has chosen to drag Britain into an illegal war.

So if Democrats win in November Trump will immediately withdraw from attacking Iran, Cuba and Venezuela? And he would stop rounding off illegal immigrants when Hillary herself said that more of them were expelled under Clinton and Obama than under Trump? Are you serious?
