One clear sign of how ignorant and immature the college protesters are is how they all don't seem to want to be held accountable for the crimes they committed.
I wish that our U.S. campuses would at least still assign students to read MLK's Letter from a Birmingham jail, and Thoreau's essay on Civil Disobedience.
I think these protesters have failed the guidelines of: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and effective direct action.
Everyone should try to take a 1930's perspective and mentally substitute #Israel by the #ThirdReich or #Mussolini's #Italy and Iran by an opposing Allied Power like the UK or the US.
After listening to this debate, the West's, including Israel's, position doesn't have that much standing anymore.
Anwalt: Haft und Peitschenhiebe für Berlinale-Gewinner Rassulof
Eine offizielle Bestätigung oder Begründung gibt es noch nicht, doch laut einem Anwalt ist der Filmemacher und Berlinale-Gewinner Rassulof im Iran zu einer Haftstrafe verurteilt worden. Er gilt als einer der kritischen Kulturschaffenden des Landes.
An Iranian court has sentenced prominent filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof to jail time for "collusion against national security", his lawyer Babak Paknia said Wednesday.
Paknia said in a post on X that Rasoulof, whose film is due to be shown at the main competition at #Cannes Film Festival this month, will serve five years in prison according to the verdict which also included "flogging, a fine, and confiscation of property."
"Then there’s Netanyahu, whose political career should have ended in disgrace seven months ago when he failed to foresee and prevent the devastating Oct. 7 attack on Israel."
"Netanyahu also faces a probable conviction on corruption charges and even possible jail time if he loses office, not to mention an official inquiry into his pre-war actions that would destroy what remains of his reputation. This is not a man who will act in the higher interests of the nation" - Dyer

Überwachung des Atomprogramms: IAEA erhöht Druck auf Iran
Eigentlich hatte der Iran mehr Transparenz bei seinem Atomprogramm zugesichert. Doch stattdessen erschwerte das Land die Zusammenarbeit mit der Internationalen Atomenergiebehörde. Deren Chef Grossi fordert daher nun konkrete Schritte.

"Autocratic states and other actors, however, have used cyber and digital tools to threaten international peace and stability, harm others, exert malign influence, and undermine the exercise of human rights. An innovative, rights-respecting international cyberspace and digital technology policy strategy is foundational to U.S. strategic, security, economic, and foreign policy interests." #trump #musk #russia #china #iran
Champ is an incredible picture book about being yourself despite family pressure. Translated from Iranien, Champ is truly a treasure. The illustrations are very unique and I really love the main character who decides to stay unique and different. Despite all the difficulties, he really tries to please his family, but things don’t go as expected.
While the crises in the Middle East are being escalated, #Turkey's foreign policy is busy meeting the #Taliban & making hypocritical statements about #Israel & #Palestine, actually attempting to take advantage of the situation & continue its genocidal politics against the #Kurds
Putin showed his cards with his absurd war to liberate Ukraine from nazis and then used his Nazi Wagner army to act as shock troops committing genocide of Ukrainians.
Putin's Kompromat owns #Netanyahu who created havoc at Al-Aqsa with Israeli extremists to prepare for #Turkey and #Iran trained and funded former & 2.0 ISIS fighters to rampage in Israel and attack freedom loving Kurds in Syria, Turkey and Iraq.
None of this is random. Putin needed the world to turn its gaze from #Ukraine. How's he doing?
