In Australia, it’s acceptable for an Israeli official to defend apartheid (a crime against humanity) & spout violent racist dehumanising language against Palestinians on national TV in a room for all lapdog journalists.
stranger@strangerous10

Hillel Newman has justified Israel’s new laws applying the death penalty only to Palestinians, saying it’s because Palestinians are “deranged” & “the usual punishment is no deterrent” — Horrifying the broadcast is allowed to go on. This man is sick. #auspol

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one ‘race group’. Israel is now the most racist state the world has ever known. Shame on every government, every company, every individual who offer it support.
Dyab Abou Jahjah@Aboujahjah

Israel has now become the first state to codify a death sentence that applies in practice to one ethnic group, while another is effectively shielded from it.

The Press Club cancelled Pulitzer winner Chris Hedges after he submitted a speech on the killing of Palestinian journalists, then booked Israel's ambassador instead. If you wonder why media reporting on Gaza genocide has been so disappointing this is what they think is normal.

We need more politicians across the world to fight with this determination to end krill fishing entirely. Note: Norway takes ~63% of total Antarctic krill catch—but a US equity firm owns 60% of Norway's Aker BioMarine krill feed business. China catches ~24% of total (CCAMLR)
Nick McKim@NickMcKim

There's nothing sustainable about krill fishing. Krill are the foundation of the Antarctic marine ecosystem, relied on by whales, seals, penguins and countless other species. The exploitation of krill for profit has to end.

Israel slaughtered 15 aid workers in Gaza, buried their bodies so nobody would know, lied about it, and only got caught because they forget to steal one of the victims' cell phones, and he recorded the entire massacre. Israel also did this:

Never forget how Israel murdered Palestinian First Responders on a literal live stream. Repost this. Please I beg you

Iran is not being attacked because it violates human rights (its attackers are serial violators who don’t give a damn about human rights). It’s being attacked because it dared to defend the human rights of the Palestinian people from the ongoing Israeli genocide- the only recognized state to have done so. And it’s not being attacked for having nuclear weapons, but rather because it does not have nuclear weapons. There is no way to put lipstick on the pig of US-Israeli aggression, try as they may.

The Omanis are famously cautious. The Omani FM going on CBS to reveal what has actually been achieved in the negotiations is quite unprecedented. And what has been achieved is significant - Trump can indeed declare victory. Listen to this segment - it goes way beyond what Obama achieved. But everything indicates that Trump won't take yes for an answer. That he will start a war of choice very soon. Which is probably why the Omani FM decided to go public. So that the American people knew that peace was within reach when Trump instead opted for war.

The world's two rogue states, Israel and the USA, have started a war not against Iran but against the whole world. We stand with Iranians, with Humanity, against the notion that Israel and the US can bomb anyone their fancy takes them to bomb. aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/…

The term “preemptive” is pure propaganda. The U.S. once again used the veneer of negotiations as a cover to bomb Iran. Tehran had just offered terms that went far beyond the 2015 nuclear deal. What was preempted was diplomacy. The same propaganda tactics used in 2003 Iraq war.

The attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States are illegal, unprovoked and unjustifiable. Peace and diplomacy was possible. Instead, Israel and the United States chose war. This is the behaviour of rogue states — and they have jeopardised the safety of humankind around the world with this catastrophic act of aggression. Our government must condemn this flagrant breach of international law, and urgently pursue a foreign policy based on justice, sovereignty and peace.

This happens often. The US uses its singular financial power to impose suffocating sanctions on the countries they claim they're trying to help -- in Iran, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. Then the US points to the resulting economic suffering as proof that the governments are bad.
The Resonance@Partisan_12

Jeffrey Sachs: “Our mainstream media are so lame or so bought that they report that the Iranian government has lost control of the economy without saying that the United States has crushed the Iranian economy..” “If the attempt at regime change through maximum pressure[Sanctions on Iran], doesn't work, I would expect outright attacks by the United States very soon.”

The Iranian regime bombing civilian homes this evening. Under the cover of darkness their air strikes come with no warning. Nah my mistake this is Israel bombing families homes in Lebanon now, you know the same Israel who wants to "free Iran"

The US DOJ indictment of Venezuela’s Maduro is a sloppy political rant that relies heavily on coerced testimony from an unreliable witness @MaxBlumenthal picks it apart and explains how it threatens to expose the CIA’s own history of drug trafficking thegrayzone.com/2026/01/05/ind…

For months, I've been hearing @MaxBlumenthal explain that "Cartel of the Suns" doesn't actually exist. Now that the US has abducted President @NicolasMaduro to steal Venezuela's oil, the Trump administration no longer needs to pretend it does.

That Piers Morgan of all people -- who justified Israel's destruction of Gaza for months -- is treating an Israeli official this way shows the massive sea change in global opinion. And: nobody is petrified now when Israel screams "blood libel!" It lost its sting from overuse:
Mukhtar@I_amMukhtar

Piers Morgan told the Israeli Ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, that Israel is killing children. She called it a blood libel.
