@aral @noybeu @EUCommission – wow. None of these are even European companies. What’s next, put us in shackles and ship us in boats to the US?

The US are no friend and no ally, US companies cannot be trusted, and personal data are *personal* data over which only the individual should decide.

The EU should hit back and then double down on data protection instead of this coward betrayal.

Imagine back in, say, 1942, the international community had asked Jews to “disarm” and the US or Russia had proposed partnering with the Germans for business development of concentration camps—something Israel and the US-led “Board of Peace” are doing to Palestinians.

Imagine, too, that the Nazis had spun the Holocaust so that any Nazi criticism was anti-German and had to be prosecuted around the world—as with the Israeli pressuring of foreign politicians, their lobbying groups (like AIPAC), and worldwide “hasbara.”

How much we have regressed:

Back then we knew that we had to fight the Nazis.

Today, we can’t even properly *sanction* a warmongering, genocidal, intentionally borderless nation that tries to colonize an entire region.

A bit of a weird World Cup.

Boycotting one for the first time—US genocide support, assassinations, hijackings, forever wars, contempt for and threats against allies, plus FIFA corruption and ludicrousness—meaning to watch no games…

…except if Spain or Iran would reach the finals. Now Iran was undefeated, despite being bullied by the US even during a sports tournament, yet dropped out, but Spain, the home of my family, made it—and won 🏆

So what a weird World Cup (with a much deserved win for Spain).

Viva España 🇪🇸

The US has started the Israeli–American war on Iran with an attack on children (Minab) and has now, after breaking the MoU, intensified attacking civilian infrastructure:

10,000 people without water (!), reports Al Jazeera, https://aje.news/btz9aq?update=4782235.

We need a strong international community and justice system more than ever. Everyone should be clear why the US is undermining both.

“Smotrich and Ben-Gvir have become popular scapegoats, used to hide a society behind them that supports almost everything they do, even if they seek to be more well hidden. The overwhelming majority of the Israeli public supported their military committing genocide.”

@HistoPol, to me this looks more complicated because of unclear agendas and influences.

It seems it’s more important than ever to 1) look at several news sources, 2) definitely from several countries, plus 3) independent sources.

Someone just consuming news from one source cannot be considered informed. Not sure this was ever possible, but that seems impossible today.

Many difficulties remain though, as a wide mix still requires taking things with a grain of salt.

Any price increases that our countries experience because of Israel’s and America’s war against Iran should be recompensed by them.

No solidarity with this bloodthirsty, lie-based imperialism.

We need a new tough line against any country breaking international law: boycotts, sanctions, divestments, and holding to account officials legally and financially.

“The Palestinian people will never receive justice through the UN. Their situation […] is very similar to that suffered by the black majority of South Africa […]. Apartheid was finally defeated by an international people’s boycott that isolated the regime from international markets, cultural and artistic events. This, now is the only way to help the Palestinian people obtain their freedom.”

—Shabaz Fazal: “Israel–Palestine” (2013).

Israel and the USA Really Declared War on Everyone:

No one is safe when countries act with brutality and impunity.

HTML—the Most Difficult Programming Language in the World:

Where we seem to stand after declaring that HTML is a programming language and finding that most HTML documents contain errors.

@ChrisMayLA6, ultimately IL builds trust and without trust, nothing works. So we should expect to see a decline in cooperation, good will, trade, tourism, and an increase in defense and securities spending, alliances with parties that show to be trustworthy, and less tolerating and then ostracizing those who cannot be trusted.

It must be clear to anyone who has lived for more than a few years that breaking trust is always self-defeating. Even the strongest bully will crack.

It’s also Europe’s security interest that California becomes part of the European Union.

So fed up. And no, I don’t believe in mass media journalism, and even less in the international community (cf. Israel).

Instead, it’s another crime, ultimately against all of us, that we will have to deal with individually and in whatever collective capacity we can.

How not to hate in a world full of hate.

“New study concludes death toll in Gaza likely exceeds 100,000”:

“According to the researchers’ calculations, approximately 27 percent of the dead are likely to be children under the age of 15, with approximately 24 percent being women.”

Count how many Palestinians have been been displaced, killed, and detained since Israel’s occupation began.

Declaration of the Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress:

“As anti-Zionist Jews and allies, we stand together with all Palestinians—in Palestine and in exile—against Zionism and its crimes, including genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and occupation. We affirm the right of people under occupation to resist by any means, as is recognized by several UN provisions.”

@kims, careful, questions are also sensitive.
