Macron’s top diplomat, Catherine Colonna, said on Tuesday that the president was interested in coming to Johannesburg as an observer in August to attend the meeting of Brazilian, Russian, Indian, Chinese and South African leaders, the so-called BRICS group of major emerging economies.
Yeah, G7 countries have and do persecute their minorities. Yeah, BRICS countries do as well. What’s your point? You’re saying countries should accept economic subservience because of the established order?
The opposition camp will hold consultations prior to giving a final answer to French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian regarding his proposal for holding dialogue on September[…]
Petulant warlord man-children desperate to keep their stranglehold on their petty fiefdoms. They will never work for the good of the country. They will always deflect blame and demand answers from foreign powers. These are the ‘great leaders’ the Lebanese put on pedestals.
Unless and until they are all swept aside violently, nothing will save Lebanon from its enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Practical matters require French to remain a working language, but no longer will it hold prestige as an official means of communication. Another win for the continued decolonization efforts in the imperial periphery.
Tldr; Ethnic cleansing towns and villages, Building colonies on top to erase the evidence Then legally segregating the colonies to prevent refugees from ever returning.
On Tuesday, the Knesset expanded a 2010 law that allows communities to screen and reject applicants deemed “unsuitable to the[ir] social and cultural makeup”. This, observers have said, essentially maked it easier for towns to prevent Palestinian citizens of Israel from moving to Jewish-majority towns. Many of these towns were built on or near Palestinian towns and villages that were depopulated before or during the 1948 Nakba, after their inhabitants were expelled or fled.
Thank you for your opinion. However, with Al Jazeera’s many journalistic awards, they’re a reliable source of information. Just because they don’t fit a particular narrative doesn’t make them ‘shit’, as you say.
Tldr; Jews have supremacy. Everyone else is legally less-than. That’s legalized racism. Plain and simple. Democracy? Not a chance.
In July 2018, the Knesset voted to pass a law that defines Israel as “the national home of the Jewish people”, with Hebrew as its official language and Jerusalem – including the illegally occupied eastern side – as its capital.
The bill denies Palestinians any national rights and further entrenched racial discrimination against them by declaring that “the right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people”.
Tldr; If you don’t toe the settler-colonialist line, you not only get refused entry, but even as a citizen, you’ll get stripped of citizenship, rendered stateless and deported. Sounds a lot like legal discrimination.
In March 2017, parliament voted to ban any Palestinians or foreign nationals if they, or the organisations they belong to, publicly endorse the boycott of Israel or its illegal settlements.
The law, with its vague wording, also has implications for Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem whose partners live with them on Israeli military-issued permits or a temporary residence status.
All this is pandering to a myth that has been debunked so many times, it’s not funny anymore. Settler colonialism is incompatible with democracy. It’s time to end the Jewish supremacist experiment and have a secular, one state solution for all residents between Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
Funny how it’s only “a sort of racist, extremist dictatorship” now, not 75 years ago when the settler colonialism regime took form.
I have no pity for the residents who ignored and vilified the indigenous Palestinians for resisting oppression. Israel, as the Jewish supremacist settler colonial regime that it is, is incompatible with democracy from the get go.
Maybe it’s time to admit Zionism is indeed racism and have a truly secular, one-person, one-vote democracy between Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
The same way Apartheid South Africa was a democracy. You conveniently remove the ‘undesirables’ from the system, and your colony of immigrants and their descendants becomes a “vibrant democracy”.
Cluster bombs are indiscriminate. The horror inflicted on Laos by US cluster munitions should make banning them a no-brainer. No right-minded person would use these weapons.
