"Craig Murray, a human rights activist and former UK ambassador, was detained under the country's counterterrorism laws after declaring support for the people of #Palestine and criticizing #Israel's atrocities against them.
Was just watching #FauxNews. Their talking head 'psychologist' is suggesting the way for americans to maintain their 'mental health' during the war on #Gaza is to 'Turn off your devices'... ie. Ignore the #genocide by #Israel in Gaza against #Palestinians.
This advice brought to you by the network, #FoxNews that claims Karl Marx wrote Mein Kampf:
I mean, since you brought it up you ought to cite something besides a Palantir/CIA Social Engineer named Hicks
Reliable source... Not the white helmets/CIA Kurds/Israeli Settler blogs, or else I figure you're peddling #MISINFORMATION, and I'll absolutely report it to my instance admin.
@MeanwhileinCanada Saw something about Negatve Amortization the other day via @unusual_whales Meaning the payments no longer reduce the mortgage balance.
@LG5Films "Everyone says" but zero evidence. That trope started with people saying Israel CREATED Hamas. No. The PLO is the satrap... Palestinian Authority. Israel created the CIRCUMSTANCES allowing hamas to garner power and influence. Israelis are upset saying Yahoo is at fault... Yeah... at fault for not wiping out the palestinians a long time ago, and it led to this juncture.
@LG5Films That's not proof it actually happened. There's no evidence he did and I can't imagine hamas would do anything of the sort. perhaps, like the US in iraq, Israel had paid off some hamas people to disrupt ... that's more likely.
@richard_merren Actually, Zionism's inception was a doomsday cult in the wake of the central asian pogroms by refugees fleeing to europe like my besarabian grandfather, who was a reform jew and didn'tascribe to a physical land called israel. It morphed into a 'settler project' with US UK FR assistance later, and its proof that the scum with the guns win. Enclosed... Einstein's letter to the invaders' US organization @jburd@zleap@KarunaX@alastair@susurros@palestine
@raymondpert Hezbollah has an estimated 80,000 missles and drones. One Israeli diplo said if Hezbollah got involved it would pose an, and I quote, 'existential threat' to Israel's existence.
@raymondpert The Thais being held by hamas are near-slave labor used where the rockets fall so israelis dont get killed. Fieldwork and sweatshops. The Phillipines had to rescue, literally, their citizens trapped that way over a decade ago. Don't worry. They'll be treated as well as possible under the circumstances. Hamas knows why they're there. They aren't targets. They're slaves.
A recap of main events today (while i was working on a completely different story so details to come later):
-emergency government and war cabinet formed in #Israel
#Gaza 's only power station stopped working, leaving the territory without main electricity
17 Brits, including children are dead or missing after #hamas attack in Israel
@fulelo Haaretz editorial board said so the other day, HOWEVER those calls for resignation contain quite a few people who would have 'solved the problem' by exterminating the Palestinians in Gaza and Yahoo wasn't 'tough enuf'.

"A video, the authenticity of which has yet to be verified, purports to show a #Hamas fighter thanking #Ukraine for the provision of small arms, ammunition, and hand grenades. More videos, taken during the actual assaults, show the Hamas fighters armed with a plethora of US-made weapons."
This type of “One side says… the other side says… who’s to say?” stenography the mainstream media often gravitates towards because it allows them to stay “neutral” and “balanced” inevitably privileges those who lie with impunity.
It helps make Republican shamelessness a superpower.
#translation#translationHelp#fediHelp can somebody help me identify and transcribe (and possibly translate) this? It's supposed to be “an Arab invocation to help protect books from insects”
Today in Labor History October 7, 1944: Uprising at Birkenau extermination camp (associated with Auschwitz). Jewish Sonderkommando, mostly from Greece and Hungary, attacked the SS with stones and hammers, killing three of them, and set crematorium IV on fire and threw their Oberkapo into a furnace. Sonderkommando were Jewish prisoners who were forced by the Nazis, on threat of their own deaths, to dispose of gas chamber victims). After escaping, the rebels reached Rajsko, where they hid in the granary, but the SS pursued and killed them by setting the granary on fire. By the time the rebellion at crematorium IV had been suppressed, 212 members of the Sonderkommando were still alive and 451 had been killed.
Today in Labor History October 7, 1879: Radical labor organizer and song writer Joe Hill was born in Gavle, Sweden. Hill was an organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW, or Wobblies). He was arrested and convicted on trumped up murder charges in Utah. He claimed innocence and the evidence against him was flimsy. However, because of his radical associations, they still convicted and executed him. President Wilson, Hellen Keller (also an IWW member) and the Swedish ambassador all asked for clemency. His famous last words to IWW co-founder Big Bill Haywood were “Don’t mourn. Organize.” Some of Hill’s most famous songs were Rebel Girl, There is Power in the Union, Mr. Block, and Casey Jones-Union Scab. Joe Hill's song "The Preacher & the Slave" first appeared in the IWW’s Little Red Song Book. The song is a parody of the hymn, “Sweet By and By,” often song by the Salvation Army (who the IWW called the Starvation Army), which would try to drown out the union’s street-corner labor organizing with their hymns. The Wobbly bard, Haywire Mac, is believed to be the first person to sing this song in public. Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Utah Phillips also covered the song. Joe Hill’s ashes were supposedly sprinkled in every state of the union, except Utah, because he had said, "I don't want to be found dead in Utah." However, it is said that the IWW still keeps a small vial of some of his remaining ashes.
Watch Paul Robeson singing “I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night,” to striking Scottish miners, 1949.
@fulelo Wanna see something funny about our weapon to a human trafficking Mafia protected by literal Nazis?
