Democrats suspect Netanyahu attempting to tilt Trump-Harris race

    Could be the case.

    For a year the Biden administration has given carte blanche to a genocidal zionist who is the head of an apartheid regime that the US has been supporting for so many decades, regardless of who was in power. What did they expect from Netanyahu? Loyalty to the party?

    I don't understand this logic. You claim that the US is supporting by all means a genocide because it's election year and out of fear of being called antisemites by the republicans? Therefore, after the elections this genocide will not be supported by the democrats anymore?

    I'm sorry, this doesn't make any sense to me.

But the geoengineering experiment has also run into public opposition from local environmentalists, commercial fishers and others. - The test would dump sodium hydroxide (commonly called lye) off the New England coast to study its dispersal as a potential tool for sequestering CO₂. - Opponents allege this small-scale geoengineering test could harm local wildlife, but researchers say the material will disperse within minutes. The scientists say they will also continue to reach out to local communities to alleviate fears over the study.

    I think that if the democrats win this election there is a decent chance the US could start slowly pulling support.

    Why do you think that? Did I miss something perhaps? I haven't seen a hint from democrats during the past year up to now to support this claim. On the contrary, they actively send Israel tones of bombs and money to genocide Palestinians, and no matter what "red lines" the Biden administration puts on the matter, soon after they forget about them. And Harris (if I remember correctly) she said she will continue the same policy.

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins its affiliate, the Syrian Journalists’ Union (SJU) in condemning the heinous killing, and reiterates that the perpetrators of the deadliest conflict for journalists must be tried before the International Criminal Court, as international law requires that journalists are considered civilians and combatants are obliged to ensure their safety.

    We must face the hard truth in Gaza: Israel has lost its moral authority - The Hill - 07/18/24

    I reviewed thousands of incident reports and tens of thousands of individual data points from several dozen credible organizations, as well as the Israeli military itself, as a part of a nonpartisan task force analyzing Israel’s campaign in Gaza.

    Our report, submitted to the Biden administration and briefed to Congress, establishes compelling and credible evidence of Israeli violations of international humanitarian law and U.S. military best practices, utilizing U.S.-provided munitions. It shows how the Israeli military has demonstrated a “systematic disregard for fundamental principles of international law, including recurrent attacks launched despite foreseeably disproportionate harm to civilians.”

    This is a political suicide. I cannot say that I am for this approach but what I see is a form of protest (and maybe what I think about it is another topic). What is striking to me is that this US-backed Genocide is taking place for almost a year, and due to despair americans are even killing themselves as a form of protest.

    And of course there are other forms of protesting. People try to influence politicians in so many ways so the US stops providing guns and arguments attempting to justify it.

    So you choose to ignore that Israel for almost a year has been committing Genocide towards Palestinians. That this Genocide takes place in OPT (Occupied Palestinian Territories), occupied by Zionists that is, for over 75 years. You choose to ignore that a huge part of this Zionist society is totally supporting the Genocide, and many of them even make fun of it on podcasts and social media while plenty of Israeli support this material.

    Instead, you want to shift the topic from Genocide and the support it gets, to Hamas.

    Please, don't overestimate the power of Hasbara / Zionist propaganda.

  • Share of COP29 badges for Global South NGOs upsets rich countries
  • solo solo Now 100%

    To be honest, I don't know who's in the right here, ...

    The way I see things, it's pretty clear. In the global south are the countries that suffer the most from the economic activities (to say the least) that come from the global north. Giving these badges to the global south NGOs is important as an effort to balance out how underrepresented these part of the world typically are, even tho they are most affected by actions of others ,namely the countries that got upset, or companies that come from there. Admittedly, I don't expect too much out of this specific climate conference due to the intense lobbying that takes place there. I'd love to be wrong on this one and be pleasantly surprised, for sure.

    ...but the article definitely feels like it’s taking a side, and the editorialized title makes that bias worse.

    I believe it is important to accept that all media is biased, even if they try to portray themselves as neutral or objective (an easy example would be fox's fair and balanced sloggan). So I don't think that bias is a problem by itself, but performing impartiality totally is, and mainstream media do that for several reasons.

    Still, I think a journalist or an outlet can be trustworthy, and this relies on their processes. They need to be honest and meticulous in their research (and perhaps something else that I didn't think of right now).
