Declassified revealed that the man seen in a video threatening Al Jazeera journalists in London is Special Constable David Soffer of the Metropolitan Police. The footage shows Soffer approaching one of the Palestinian journalists directly, calling him a “dog” and a “donkey” in Arabic, and saying, “Go back to Qatar… get out of here.” After his identity was revealed, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police stated that they are aware an off-duty officer was involved in the incident, which has been referred to the Department of Professional Standards for review. Soffer may face disciplinary action and has removed his police role from his LinkedIn account.

The US, Israel, and (Milei's far-right) Argentina have stood alone in voting against a UN resolution condemning the enslavement of Africans.  The UN voted overwhelmingly to declare the enslavement of Africans by Europe and the US as "the gravest crime against humanity by reason of the definitive break in world history, scale, duration, systemic nature, brutality and enduring consequences that continue to structure the lives of all people through racialized regimes of labour, property and capital," and to call for reparations, remedies, and redress.  The US representative, speaking on the record, denied the right to reparations and derisively referred to the subject of the resolution (slavery) as a "narrow, specific interest and agenda" that the UN should not address.

A breakdown of what the huge hike in Canadian military spending (and reaching the wild scam of a 2% NATO target) actually is about and what it means.
World BEYOND War Canada@WBWCanada

A 2.5 minute clip by @TheBreachMedia of WBW Canada organizer @rach_small's breakdown of Carney's agenda of militarism, arms dealing, and banking on an economy based on war in lockstep with the US — and what it means for all of us and for Canada's role in the world.

Vienna has fewer homes per capita than Vancouver. By supply-and-demand logic, the Austrian capital should be more expensive. Yet prices are 50% lower. Why? Because over half of Vienna’s housing is non-market. The issue isn’t supply. It’s commodification. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

In Canada, we are getting very close to the point where you could face up to 10 years in prison for protesting a war criminal speaking in your neighbourhood.
CIJA@CIJAinfo

"Bill C-9 represents an important and necessary step to strengthen tools for law enforcement and prosecutors to protect targeted communities and hold criminals accountable.” CIJA joins @ALCCAcanada, @bnaibrithcanada, @cwaa_national, the Canadian Jewish Law Association and @CanadianFSWC in welcoming the adoption of Bill C-9, The Combatting Hate Act, by the House of Commons and urges Parliamentarians to advance more measures to confront Canada’s antisemitism crisis. In the wake of violent attacks targeting Jewish communities, Parliament must act with urgency. The Senate should move quickly to pass Bill C-9 and help ensure that all Canadians can live in safety and security. Click here to read our full statement: cija.ca/jewish_communi…

Why are crimes against Iranian, Lebanese, and Palestinian children not a priority for the European Parliament ? Because those responsible sit in Tel Aviv or Washington. When it comes to its allies, Europe supports or condones the worst crimes, undermining international law.

Remember: Twice in one year, Iran was negotiating with the US & was bombed in the middle of talks. The narrative that now Trump has offered a "peace deal" & Iran is rejecting it is false. The US put forward its terms. Iran put forward its terms.
jeremy scahill@jeremyscahill

Iranian official tells me that Iran submitted its proposed terms and conditions for ending the war via intermediaries. The U.S. has not responded. Trump keeps falsely claiming Iran is begging the U.S. but it is Trump’s emissaries who have repeatedly been asking for talks.

@MarkJCarney Canada's "Liberal" PM is the furthest right on foreign policy of all of them. Where exactly are the profound differences with Trump Carney's supposed to exemplify? He knows the US & Israel are the aggressors against Iran, but the truth has no place when you're serving empire.

Canada shares its condolences with the UAE following the latest Iranian attack that took the lives of two civilians in Abu Dhabi.    We strongly condemn Iran’s unprovoked attacks on the UAE and across the region, and reiterate the importance of opening secure access through the Strait of Hormuz. Canada supports efforts to safeguard international shipping and ensure freedom of navigation.

@MarkJCarney And the thousands of children in Palestine? And Lebanon? And the children of the dozens of schools US has bombed in Iran? What are the rules here? Why do 2 civilians matter more than the hundreds of thousands Israel and US have killed?

@MarkJCarney There are no condolences for $73,000 civilians in #Gaza, among them 23,000 children, because they are poor and their killer is Israel.

Rick Scott says our trip to bring humanitarian aid to Cuba was “disgusting.” The policies he supports starve the people, block all fuel imports, and cause severe shortages in the healthcare system. We did our best to take all his questions, but it doesn't seem like he liked the answers.

Every time I listen to Trump spewing nonsensical inanities I’m reminded that Americans elected him not once but twice in free and fair elections. They knew exactly what was on offer and embraced it. Twice.
