every day is a two minute of hate in the news — the mainstream news is the vessel for not just dumbdowning and brainwashing, but the avenue for Battered Viewer/Citizen Syndrome!
Think of those mobsters, those dirty settlers, those gun-toting, Tik Tok-posting criminals called Jewish Settlers.
Your mother’s social security check torn to shred so these criminals get U$A backing?
[Photo: “Many Israeli settlers have openly called for Palestinians to be wiped off the map,” said one advocacy group. “Now, Israel is giving them the guns to achieve that vision.”]
You can’t re-eduate these people.
You just can’t. And these traveling and wandering Zionists, practicing their Judaism, are spreading across the land/globe. Going to countries in South America, hell, Mexico, hell, in Central America, opening up gyro’s and hummus shops. Seriously!
Ahh, those starving Palestinians!
McDonald’s (MCD.N) franchises in some Muslim countries disavowed a move by the company’s Israeli restaurants to give free meals to the Israeli military, highlighting the polarized regional politics that global corporations navigate during war.
McDonald’s Israel said on its social media accounts last week that it has given thousands of free meals to Israel Defense Forces personnel. On Sunday, the franchise stated again that it was donating meals, “to all . . . murderers and molesters and rapists and pedophiles and child killers . . . “ [Emphasis I added.]
All smiles, Israel’s top restaurants are rallying to help IDF soldiers: Eyal Shani, Ariel Rosenthal and Uri Buri are all fuelling Israel’s heroes.
These people cannot be reformed. They are natural born killers.
But then, who owns the media? Who owns the microphone? The studios? The Botox and Girdle girls and boys manning the teleprompters, who pimps them out?
Look at this milquetoast discussion, but it’s factually telling why we get what we get from the Presstitution Ring concerning the Murderous Israel, from Day One of the Project to Steal and Rape and Imprison:
Just 37 years ago, there were 50 companies in charge of most American media. Now, 90% of the media in the United States is controlled by just six corporations: AT&T, CBS, Comcast, Disney, Newscorp and Viacom. This means that just 232 media executives are calling the shots for the vast majority of the information we are presented with, controlling a total Big Six net worth of over $430 billion.
It’s been no secret that Big Tech companies — the nickname for the enormous corporations like Facebook or Google — have come under fire recently for their controlling practices. While Facebook and other media giants sought to combat extremism and political misinformation on their platforms, specifically in light of the 2020 presidential election, Bill Baer and Caitlin Chin of Brookings remind us that this only demonstrated the power that social media giants hold over what we consume.
But even more than that, past the small screen of social media, the other forms of information, arguments and entertainment we consume are still being controlled by a very small amount of Facebook-type corporations. At an individual level, this may not appear to affect what’s presented in the news. Personally, I sometimes have a hard time seeing why a vague, distant-seeming corporation like Comcast would impact the traditionally reliable reporting of a single journalist at NBC News. At West, two-thirds of 63 students polled said they get most of their news from national organizations.
[from some source called Pathfinder: Mira Nalbandian, Managing Editor-in-Chief. Pronouns: she/her. I am a senior, and this is my third year on staff. I joined journalism to earn a CTE credit, but I’ve found that the Pathfinder has given me a unique, independently-driven space to improve my writing, critical thinking and interpersonal skills, as well as becoming one of my biggest passions. I consider myself an ambitious person, and I have a lot I plan on accomplishing. Outside of the Pathfinder, I am a leader of our school’s feminist club, menstrual equality club, advocacy club and am a member of several other politically-based clubs. I also enjoy playing field hockey, reading and watching Gilmore Girls (and wondering how Rory got into Yale with so few extracurriculars). Similar to Rory, I want to major in political science, English or international relations. My biggest goal is to learn as much as I can about the world and the people who live here, hopefully through lots of travel and different types of food.]
What are they saying over at the Harvard Political Review?
As a progressive Democrat, I may not seem like the most likely person to attribute a great deal of my political beliefs to my religious upbringing. But growing up in the tradition of Reform Judaism, my faith instilled in me values of generosity, open-mindedness, and a watchful eye toward oppression.
My synagogue, the same one I have attended for most of my life, puts a huge emphasis on social justice. Some of my earliest religious memories involve delivering Passover food to lower-middle class elderly Jews. Indeed, most of the volunteering I did growing up was organized by various Jewish organizations in the Chicago area. My religion taught me that we are all created in God’s image, and that we all deserve to be treated with respect. I also learned that the value of giving lay not in some emotional or heavenly reward for oneself, but in the happiness it provided for someone else. These lessons have translated into an urgent desire to make the world a better place, even at the expense of narrow self-interest.
I also attended a Jewish summer camp for six years. My last summer there, I was part of a bi-weekly seminar with the director of the camp. He was a Reform rabbi who grew up Orthodox, the strictest sect of Judaism, and one day he explained to us the reason for his conversion to the Reform movement. He said that, as a Reform Jew, he could observe all the same traditions as when he was Orthodox, but that he now had to decide why he was observing them and choose whether they made sense to him. My upbringing in the Reform tradition, in contrast to the popular caricature of religion as inherently opposed to critical thinking, in fact welcomed challenge and debate, and I became a more open-minded person for it.
Finally, those familiar with the Passover Seder will recognize a phrase that goes something like, “Remember that you were strangers in the land of Egypt.” The story of the Jews’ escape from slavery, at least in my household, always came with a command that we remember the stranger in our midst and inveigh against oppression wherever it may be. And the key saying, “Never forget,” contains a call to vigilant protection of others that we abandon at our, and humanity’s, peril. For these reasons and others, progressive politics and religion, or mine at least, have more in common than most people care to realize.
And if you cannot find it in your heart to feel sorrow for Israel as a nation, or the Jewish people as a wounded faith — and I truly hope that you can — at the very least grieve for the loss of humanity. The killing of civilians, whether in Israel, in Gaza, or anywhere else in the world is an unfathomable tragedy, an indefensible crime. In failing to acknowledge this entirely, the Palestinian Solidarity Committee, and all who stood by their statement, showed a disregard for the most fundamental principles of human rights.
This should be a time for healing. We should be able to come together as a university and condemn what is wrong and discuss what needs to be done. I have immense faith in the ability of open-minded, well-intentioned people to achieve powerful things. I believe our school has the capacity to exist above the divisiveness that fractures our world.
And yet, when I look towards my campus seeking comfort, all I feel is betrayal. Student groups whose events I had before supportively attended, mentors who I had previously looked to for guidance, and friends who I once shared dinners and dance floors with all watched the slaughter of my people, and used it as an opportunity to tell us that we had it coming.
There is nothing that can be done to heal the pain that your Jewish friends and classmates feel right now, but at the very least we should not be made to defend ourselves against further blows in our time of need. In a moment when we should be gathering in community, and collecting money and items to support those on the ground who are still reeling from the chaos, we are instead being forced to spend our time pushing back against those who are sowing further hate and distrust against us.
But even through our pain we will continue fighting back against the harmful ideas being spread because we know we will never be safe so long as they persist. Because we have gone through this before. And we will go through this again. Until the world listens.
Harvard, a Limited Hangout, a dirty breeding ground for liberalism, which is the bane of the world.
In the long term, the biggest goal of our ruling elites is to succeed at crushing all the political elements in the USA that have revolutionary potential; those being the illiberal elements. Not all illiberal groups and people are contributing to revolutionary progress at present, and not all of them will choose the revolutionary side; yet though not all non-liberals are allies of the class struggle, all allies of the class struggle are illiberal. And the struggle has far more allies (or potential allies) in this category than today’s insularly focused “left” believes; there are plenty of individuals in the armed services, the religious communities, and the libertarian or conservative elements which are open to at least assisting the antiwar movement. Which is enough of a reason for the state to view them as an existential threat.
Some of these forces have already been getting consistently anti-imperialist enough for the imperial state to view them as decidedly threatening; the antiwar wing of the Libertarian Party has made the organization opposed to aid for both Ukraine and Israel, angering the org’s former big donors and those who want to make libertarianism into a pro-imperialist ideology. At some point, our government is going to come to see this wing and the other illiberal elements as big enough of a threat that they must be destroyed by any means necessary; including through the kinds of violence that the empire has used in its drone wars.
We know that such escalations in the class conflict are inevitable because the rise of this movement can only continue. This is the start of a process where the same ideological and cultural groups that modern leftists often blankedly dismiss increasingly embrace the fight against U.S. hegemony. Most of the MAGA base supports a ceasefire in Gaza, which represents a break from the Ben Shapiro types who seek to get all conservatives behind Zionism’s genocide. There’s emerged a current of Christians who’ve embraced socialism and anti-imperialism, as represented by Caleb Maupin’s project to bring more religious people into his socialist organizing operation.
When combined with the work that the Uhuru organization is doing, wherein the org is bringing members of the Black working class into the struggle, these projects are capable of building a sufficient mass base for revolt. This is because all the orgs I’ve talked about are operating in unison; they’re either directly part of the same coalition, or in Uhuru’s case adjacent to that coalition. They aren’t able to be broken up from each other, like the state wishes were the case; so the different demographics they’re reaching out to are being brought increasingly together.
That these developments represent so much hope for the cause is the same reason why we can expect our government to intensify its war on dissent. The DOJ’s indictments of Uhuru on “Russian interference” charges are supposed to create the precedent for unconstitutionally crushing all the formations that share Uhuru’s commitment to the cause. And as these attacks intensify, they’ll be sold to the people through the same mass manipulation methods that our government has used while justifying its “war on terror.”
What will we all come home to now that Israel and USA are hell bent on global war.
I wonder what the fucking value of a Harvard education is to the revolutionary spirit of the world? Harvard is the enemy, no matter who ends up there. School, uh? Gazans have no bricks and mortar, so Zoom Re-education Doom School (sic) for them!
Now, there maybe a new mood in the Global South, but the hegemony is wicked, man, very very Sicario and Mafia and Murder Incorporated, WICKED. Watch out!
Quoting: The racist language of Israeli officials (“human animals”) evokes all the old memories of colonial rule, memories that are sedimented in the collective histories in the Global South.
The genocidal bombardment of Gaza in 2023 comes after the war in Ukraine, which started the previous year, had already accelerated the declining legitimacy of the West. After Russian troops entered Ukrainian territory, the United States and its NATO confederates were puzzled that the Global South countries – even reliable allies – failed to condemn Russia.
New, bold language emerged, words that had been buried for decades. South Africa’s minister of international relations and cooperation, Naledi Pandor told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that her country would not be “bullied” any longer.
Quoting: Of all the countries in the Global South, one government remains aligned with Israel – India.
It is important to note that India was one of the earliest supporters of the Palestinian cause in 1948, and India was one of the first places to host the Palestine Liberation Organization.
With the fall of the USSR in 1991, India sought a new alignment with the United States and was informed – as a senior Indian diplomat told me twenty years ago – that the road to Washington had to go through Tel Aviv.
Full normalization with Israel in 1992 followed – after the Indian nuclear weapons test in 1998 – with purchases of Israeli weapons systems (the tests prevented the US arms industry from exporting directly to India, so the systems were sold via joint ventures between the US and Israeli arms manufacturers).
With the rise of the Hindu right in India over the past decade, India’s government began to collaborate with Israeli intelligence services to suppress the insurgency in Kashmir.
The Indian government’s muted reaction to the violence of Israel – disregarding the large protests in the country for Palestine – is not motivated any longer by a desire to appease the United States. This is not an outlier of the new mood in the Global South. In fact, it proves the point because India’s government is operating – as Jaishankar said regarding Ukraine – based on “our long-term interests,” which include the purchase of weapons systems from Israel.

Oh, you can go to:
Or,
Or,
But in the end it is an effort in witnessing our own deaths. In the end, it is athe world which is witnessing a 2023 blatant murdering campaign against Palestine, and it is all just a lie, anything coming out of Zionists’ mouths.
And the Five Eyes and all the other vassals, way way too much for the BRICS:
The Global South was expecting the Dawn of a New Arabian Reality.
After all, the Arab street – even while repressed in their home nations – has pulsed with protests expressing ferocious rage against Israel’s wholesale massacre of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Arab leaders were forced to take some sort of action beyond suspending a few ambassadorships with Israel, and called for a special Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit to discuss the ongoing Israeli War Against Palestinian Children.
Representatives of 57 Muslim states convened in Riyadh on 11 November to deliver a serious, practical blow against genocidal practitioners and enablers. But in the end, nothing was offered, not even solace.
The OIC’s final statement will always be enshrined in the Gilded Palace of Cowardice. Highlights of the tawdry rhetorical show: we oppose Israel’s “self-defense;” we condemn the attack on Gaza; we ask (who?) not to sell weapons to Israel; we request the kangaroo ICC to “investigate” war crimes; we request a UN resolution condemning Israel.

Harvard! How much? $54 billion endowment (bribery and extortion money).
Please read the article (linked below) and see how these cretins are produced. Follow the orders of Administrators, Deans, VPs, Provosts.
Then they get into legal firms, these law students. Come on, do I have to spell out just how corrupt the USA criminal injustice systems is? All the rotten judges and prosecutors and DAs and public defenders and all the civil and criminal and real estate and patent and on and on with various specialties LAWYERS are? Really? You never have been involved in the System?
Shit, while Gaza burns and McDonald’s feed the murderers.
Law School spokesperson Jeff Neal wrote in an emailed statement that the school, “in keeping with its procedures, reminded a group of students gathered in the WCC about the school’s policies regarding time, place, and manner.” He wrote that this policy and others were shared with all HLS students earlier that day.
“The students were welcomed to partner with a recognized HLS student organization, each of which may reserve a table in the appropriate location,” Neal added.
Fucking Kosher:
Fanning said that after administrators told her flyers were acceptable but soliciting other students was not, she held up a flyer that directed passersby to ask her about it. However, she said, when the group of administrators returned, they told her she would be referred to the Administrative Board for potential disciplinary action.
Neal did not confirm if students had been referred to the Administrative Board.
Wednesday’s encounter comes amid national controversy surrounding free speech and activism related to the Israel-Hamas war at Harvard and other college campuses. Students and administrators alike have faced intense backlash from alumni, donors, and affiliates across the political spectrum.
Responding to the incident, Law Students for a Free Palestine, an organization of students from 38 law schools across the country, released a statement that alleged Harvard students had been “uniquely targeted by repression.”
According to the statement, handing out flyers and displaying posters are protected in the HLS Handbook of Academic Policies.
“Picketing in an orderly way or distributing literature outside the meeting is acceptable unless it impedes access to the meeting,” per a section of the school’s handbook cited in Ball and Monroe’s Wednesday email.
Shit, how many reasons to boycott McDonald’s. Forget about it!
In an Instagram story on Thursday, McDonald’s said that it has been donating “tens of thousands of meals,” across Israel over the past few days during the ongoing conflict.
It wrote, according to a translation from Hebrew to English by Insider,
“McDonald’s donated and continues to donate tens of thousands of meals to IDF units, the police, hospitals, residents around the Strip and all rescue forces. We continue donating thousands of meals daily to our forces across the country. In addition to a 50% discount to soldiers and security forces who come to our branches.”
If you aren’t sickened, then of course, bat to your head, I say!
It feels like Gaza has been sent back to the Middle Ages.
There is no gas or electricity. Israel has cut off food and water supplies. The struggle for Gaza’s 2.3 million people is now simply to survive.
Besides water, finding flour to make bread is a challenge. And it is only the start. You have to find somewhere to bake it. Not easy, when everything is destroyed and most people are displaced.
