  1. #Mondoweiss | The New York Times ignores an essential part of the Jeffrey Epstein story — Israel

    "You simply cannot separate the shared love of Israel from Epstein’s mysterious rise. The Times investigation is naïve and stupid. No wonder people turn to Tucker Carlson. "

  2. "Palestinians despise the courts. We hate the sight of a judge, knowing all too well that they are no different from the interrogator. We loathe the law and all it stands for in our context—a tool for oppression cloaked in legality. Even the lawyers, perhaps universally disliked, evoke our mistrust. But for us, the courts represent more than frustration; they are the place where our oppressive conditions are translated into legal language, where the weight of colonial domination is formalized with a veneer of legitimacy."

    The role of the #Gaza genocide in Kamala #Harris’s loss

    The cause of #KamalaHarris’ disastrous failure in the 2024 presidential election will forever be debated, but there are good reasons to believe the Israeli genocide in Gaza played a significant role.

  12. Israel's evidence for #Hamas rape is a photo of dead Kurdish women


    Cochav Elkayam-Levy, the chair of Israel's civil committee investigating Oct ⁠7 rape, has been using at least since Nov ⁠12 (video) a photograph of deceased female Kurdish fighters to portray them as victims of rape by Hamas at the Nova music festival.( #TheGrayzone)

    #Mondoweiss reveals it is her Nov ⁠18 interview with #CNN that kicked off the disinformation campaign, echoed by Washington Post and Haaretz. Presenting her as an “expert in human rights”, CNN hid the fact she is the director of the Dvora Institute advising the National Security Council, and she had worked for the International Law Department of the Israeli Attorney-General’s Office. There, she provided a detailed legal manual for forced feeding—an act of #torture used to break the hunger strikes of political #prisoners.

    Since then, Elkayam has presented nothing but justifications for the absence of evidence. To this date, there is no evidence.

    All Things Palestinian Canadian - Rana Nazzal: Research, Human Rights, Art and Activism
    podcastaddict.com/all-things-p

    The CJPME has a podcast, which I've started listening to once in a while. This episode featured Rana Nazzal, a Palestinian-Canadian artist. She discusses making political art, making art for a specific audience, and the difference between how her art is received in Palestine itself and in Canada. I think she could have talked about how "Canadianized" the reaction to her art in Canada is but she was being constructive rather than bitchy ;) She's currently finishing a documentary on cemeteries of numbers, places where Israel keeps dead Palestinian bodies (sometimes under the excuse of continuing to serve prison terms!) since the Israeli supreme court has allowed the withholding of dead bodies in 2015.

    #PodcastFriday is a tag where people recommend a particularly good episode from a podcast. The point of this tag is NOT to recommend entire podcasts--there are too many podcasts out there, and our queues are already too long, so don't do that. Let's just recommend the cream of the crop, the episodes that made you *brainsplode* or laugh like crazy.

  14. To what extent are #powerElite now using #COVID to distract from their failures and divert attention to the "#SpreaderOther". And should those in power be held more to account for creating this situation in the first place?
