all @edsheeran had to do to make almost everyone forgive him and save his career was to post a simple: “I fucked up. I’m sorry. Apartheid is bad. Genocide is bad. Free Palestine.” But here we are
- reads from teleprompter - immediately starts with October 7th - still won’t call it a genocide - says he doesn’t know enough about what’s happening - makes no apology to Macklemore or addresses dropping him from the tour - doesn’t mention where his donation will be going to - doesn’t encourage anyone to donate - won’t say Israel is the reason Gaza is suffering - won’t say free Palestine - only cries when he sees people showed up to the concert because that’s what he cares more about. Fuck him.

Jewish young people in New York chant slogans against the state of Israel. There are thousands of Jews in the world who are anti-Zionism and anti-Israel. True Torah Jews never accept Israel as a Jewish state. Israel can never represent the Jews.

Gaza doctors protested against Israeli ban on entry of fuel for hospitals’ generators that is inevitably leading to halting providing healthcare for the patients and people wounded by Israeli occupation attacks

The purpose of Lavender, if it exists, is not to give Israel a bank of militarily useful targets (a laughable idea, that the resistance are at home at night), instead it provides an algorithmic smokescreen for a strategy of killing Palestinians as quickly as politically possible.

The AI thing is hasbara. Gaza is a genocide. Civilians, kids, journalists, medics were the target from the beginning. Clear as day This whole line of “critique” situates the genocidaires as careless and reckless perpetrators of a “just war” against Hamas Don’t buy it
The Israeli military “chose to target members of Hamas, some low-level, at home at night rather than when they were out during the day because it was easier, even though it meant killing their families and neighbors.” trib.al/QagmfD5

As if Ansarullah needed yet another reason to raze Saudi to reach Al Aqsa.
Şu an çok tehlikeli bir şey gerçekleşiyor. Netanyahu, Mescid-i Aksa'nın altından görüntüler paylaşarak şöyle diyor: "Şu anda Kutsalların Kutsalı'ndayız ve bizden başka hiç kimse bu yerde olamaz." Mübarek Mescid-i Aksa'nın altındaki kazılar yıllardır devam ediyor, tünellerdeki toplantılar yeni değil... Yeni olan şey şu açık ve net açıklama: "Burası sadece bizim." Tevrat anlatısında "Kutsalların Kutsalı", Tapınak'ın içindeki eski bir kutsal mekândı; Netanyahu bugün dini iddiayı mühendislik ve siyasi bir emrivakiye dönüştürmek için bunu caminin altındaki yerin derinliklerine taşıdı. Aksa'nın altını kontrol eden, üstünü kontrol etmenin zeminini hazırlar. Bu bir uyarıdır, haber değil.

What was the British Mandate of Palestine that emerged after World War I? Why were the notorious Black and Tans sent from Ireland to Palestine and what methods did they use to enforce order?

Every decade, a generation of Israeli soldiers sits down and confesses to killing Palestinians. How many documentaries does the world need to see before it does something to stop them? #NAZA

US Counterterrorism Director Sebastian Gorka led the case to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group in the United States. A personal Facebook account of his posted this two years ago.

This attack's estimated cost is $100M given average of $60k per drone (see Grok calculation below). Ukraine's entire daily military budget is $190M per Rada ombudsman. Such an attack therefore represents over 50% of Ukraine's entire military budget. Sustainable only for desperate occasional one-offs. "Reports from Zelensky list a mix of long-range strike systems used: FP-1, RZ-100, MICH-2000, Palianytsia, Vendetta, Liutyi, Bars, Flamingo, Sichen and Pelican (some of which are jet-powered missile-drones or cruise/ballistic missiles rather than propeller drones). Typical unit costs from available figures are roughly $50k$55k for mass-produced types such as the FP-1 and Sichen, around $100k for Palianytsia and Bars, $200k for the Liutyi, and about $600k for the Flamingo, so a swarm-weighted average of ~$60,000 is a reasonable estimate given that cheaper propeller drones almost certainly formed the bulk of the 1,600+ vehicles Russia reported intercepting. A 1,600-drone attack of this composition would therefore have cost Ukraine on the order of $90–100 million."
BREAKING: Ukraine fired one of its largest drone attacks ever, estimated to include 1,600+ drones, targeting the Moscow region and hitting the city's main oil refinery. This comes just 6 days after President Trump said Ukraine and Russia agreed not to hit energy targets in an effort to lower diesel prices. The site that was struck supplies more than 33% of the Moscow region's fuel and is currently on fire. Oil markets are set to open in 10 hours.

Heartbreaking. This morning, Israel's "@idf" executed Sami Zawaydeh in cold blood as he was driving home to his residence in the AAU student dormitories, as he himself is internally displaced due to Israel's Ethnic Cleansing of Jenin refugee camp. Hear the dad talking about Sami:

I’m Canadian, and I see nothing good in Canada becoming more integrated with Europe. The EU is an authoritarian, anti-democratic, economic basket-case. No competent Canadian Prime Minister would seek deeper integration with this train-wreck.
Canadians see new possibilities in closer ties with the European Union amid the trade war with the US. Canada's PM Mark Carney also called for making it easier for young Canadians and Europeans to work, study and live on either side of the Atlantic. 🔗 aje.news/5pnb6p

🚨 EX-INSIDER BOMBSHELL: WE CREATED THIS EUROPE ON PURPOSE - CIA BOUGHT STOLTENBERG, RUTTE AND ENTIRE GOVERNMENTS I have never heard the truth stated so directly. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, retired U.S. Army officer and former Chief of Staff to the Secretary of State, just dropped a confession that should shock any European citizen who is still capable of thinking for themselves. He says America did not merely influence the continent. It deliberately built the Europe we see today. And the receipts are brutal. THE CONFESSION ➡️ “We created the Europe that exists right now on purpose.” ➡️ Wilkerson states it plainly: the CIA, with help from SIS, MI6 and later Mossad, painstakingly crafted the political landscape of Europe in the exact image Washington wanted. ➡️ This was not organic alliance-building. It was a long-term operation. THE BUYING SPREE ➡️ They bought newspaper editors. ➡️ They bought labor-union heads. ➡️ They bought parliamentarians. ➡️ They bought two NATO Secretaries General: Jens Stoltenberg and Mark Rutte. ➡️ They bought whole countries in terms of their political apparatus. HOW THE MACHINE WORKED ➡️ Starting in 2002, billions of dollars flowed through the CIA and USAID. ➡️ Liberal democracy itself was weaponized. ➡️ An Asia scholar once said America taught the dogs to bark. Wilkerson agrees the trainers were American intelligence services. ➡️ Europe barked against Russia, against diplomacy, against its own interests because that is what it had been trained and paid to do. THE STOLTENBERG OPERATION ➡️ Wilkerson was “up close to cheek and jowl” in elevating Jens Stoltenberg. ➡️ Washington watched how malleable he was inside his own government and used him as the center pole from which influence spread to other capitals. ➡️ Stoltenberg calculated correctly: loyalty to the American line would make him the next NATO chief. THE RUTTE PATH ➡️ Dutch media later exposed that Mark Rutte, while prime minister, excused almost anything Israel did, stayed extra-hawkish on Russia, and backed the bombing of Yemen. ➡️ The purpose was clear: look good on the job application for NATO Secretary General. ➡️ Washington had already signaled exactly what qualities it would reward. THE HOLOCAUST LEVERAGE ➡️ With Mossad’s help, the lingering weight of the Holocaust over European politics was deliberately exploited. ➡️ Germany’s strict anti-semitism laws and regulations were shaped with American assistance so the instrument would remain available. THE BOTTOM LINE America spent decades and billions of dollars buying the political class of Europe, installing compliant NATO leaders, and training entire governments to bark on command. Now the same Europe is weaker, more submissive, and still following orders that no longer serve its survival. The creators are finally admitting what they did. This was never an alliance of equals. It was a product. HT: YouTube Glenn Diesen @Glenn_Diesen #CIABoughtEurope #Stoltenberg #Rutte #NATOExposed #Wilkerson #EuropeOnPurpose #DeepState

I remember what European society was like when I visited Greece three times as a boy. I remember what it was like when I lived in France for several years in the 1990s. The Europe of today has been thoroughly Americanized. The distinctions between Europe and the U.S. have been largely obliterated. These Canadians have no idea what Europe is today. The Europe they imagine died long ago - and it was never the gold standard to begin with.
Canadians say they have more in common with Europe than the US A survey asked Canadians whether their shared values, way of life and worldview align more closely with the European Union or the United States

As someone working in global payments over three decades, I get the point. Some systems are well designed, well executed, and then there’s mBridge. Many better alternatives.

Payment and settlement plumber here. I told mBridge they were going to fail for bad design problems 4 years ago. After 6 years in development mBridge did a total of $55 billion in payments in all of calendar year 2025. It’s a flawed, miserable, badly specified failure of a cross-border payment system. So Saudi quit? That just shows SAMA has more brains than those that persist with failure. And by the way, @FT, mBridge was an initiative of the BIS Innovation Hub at Hong Kong Monetary Authority and not a project from Beijing (you racist, shit stirring losers).
Here you go guys, all the pieces of the puzzle are falling into place - the reason why you haven’t seen China supporting the US gaining a upper hand against Iran so far. That outcome will be even worse for China than enduring limited oil supply and buy expensive crude for a while
