The leader of Middle Eastern Democracy:

Inside Netanyahu's Masterplan to Dismantle the Freedom of the Press in Israel

The cancellation of a popular TV political talk show exposes how hard Netanyahu is working to destroy independent journalism, intimidate journalists and suppress any criticism of his actions and policies at a critical time for reporting in Israel – and how an American-British oligarch is aiding him.

Sometime around noon on Thursday, July 11th 2024, another brick fell from the wall protecting the freedom of the press in Israel.

Too military dogs are trained to attack on command. They aren’t trained to attack on sniffing explosives, they are trained to give a signal. So the conjecture that a disabled downs man could only have been attacked by a military dog if he had handled exposures is ludicrous.

The dog was told to attack him. That’s how they are trained.

Sorry, handled explosives. Auto correct makes dyslexic spelling into the wrong words 😂

Totally agree it's a disgrace, the US putting their two fingers up to the UN, ICJ, ICC and the innocent Palestinian people.

Not everyone is happy with the visit

Good.
Despicable man, shame on Congress for calling a war criminal to come and address them.

I just left a comment in the USA thread. Anyone that protests faces being arrested

so , they’re going to arrest Americans for protesting against the visit of a war criminal.

What I do love are the activists exposing how much money congress members receive from lobbyists. Speaker Mike Johnson has received nearly $500k from AIPAC.

Maggots were left on his table and alarms triggered every 30 mins in the hotel he’s staying at.

Netanyahu talking about ‘a clash between those who glorify death and those who sanctify it’ 😠

There is nothing holy about the death that he has unleashed on Palestinians. Nothing holy about the pain and cruelty innocent children are suffering.

And what leads people to glorify death.. having nothing left to live for maybe, having nothing else to aim for. The best some people might hope for, is a death that means something.

What a load of rubbish, what an embarrassment for the US to host him.

“They burned babies alive”.

He did not say in ovens this time but it will be perpetuating what turned out not to be true.

“They killed parents in front of their children.”

“They killed children in front of their parents.”

Meanwhile the great killer has himself done about 30 x all of these.

appeal for the US to fast-track military aid to Israel: “Give us the tools and we’ll get the job done faster.”

like the useless pier they built for example?

PeasfullPerson · 25/07/2024 09:02

Netanyahu isn’t up to the job and should be out of it by now. He’s not even interested in doing his job, only appearing to so that he can save his own backside.

I couldn’t be bothered to listen to his speech or even read it all, from what I can gather it was a load of bollocks. The same lies and distortions of reality that he has been pedalling from the start.

If he thinks saying the same old script while addressing US Congress, will suddenly make it credible, then he better think again.

ScrollingLeaves · 25/07/2024 09:41

I think they thought it was credible. People were clapping point by point and there were many standing ovations.

He must have been elected in the first place because people do fall for his rhetorical pauses, and his hyperbole, and his misleading statements.

To think of someone like him being in power for so long is to want to give up hope. Then to think that ‘The World’s Greatest Power’ and ‘Guardian of Civilisation’, Netanyahu’s words about the US, is in thrall to him!

PeasfullPerson · 25/07/2024 09:43

But there are a lot of people who realise it isn’t credible. Let’s not give up hope. What comes around goes around, sometimes sooner, sometimes later.

Netanyahu Didn't Go to Washington to End Gaza War. He Went to Get the Means to Prolong It

While more bodies of Israeli hostages are being discovered, Netanyahu seeks to garner support not just for American weapons, but for everlasting Israeli control over the Gaza Strip

Let's start at the end: The goal of Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to Washington, including his appearance before the U.S. Congress, is not and never was to advance a diplomatic agreement to bring home the Israeli hostages safely while they are still alive and to bring an end to the fighting and the suffering. Rather, it is designed to enlist domestic American support to keep waging the war.

That is an account of the Israeli government, the IDF, and settlers jointly prosecuting a creeping invasion, through pure theft, thuggery, and terrorism in order to inexorably erode the presence of Palestinians one way or another. They have evidently been practising these methods for some time and got it down to an art.

I heard Netanyahu yesterday in his speech in Washington yesterday say,
For 4000 years Israel has been the homeland of the Jewish people. It has always been our home, it will always be our home.

‘Israeli officials seized documents about Pegasus spyware from its manufacturer, NSO Group, in an effort to prevent the company from being able to comply with demands made by WhatsApp in a US court to hand over information about the invasive technology.

Documents suggest the seizures were part of an unusual legal manoeuvre created by Israelto block the disclosure of information about Pegasus, which the government believed would cause “serious diplomatic and security damage” to the country.’

It wasn't offensive. The truth should never be offensive.

But your later post (this could be me as I don't really use IG)! shows some random post.

It's upset someone, not sure what guideline it broke?

The link is to Al Jazeera, it covers a story of a young boy whose cousin had died in his arms after an Israeli attack whilst out playing. Sometimes if you have IG already open it takes you to random posts, you can fix this by closing the app and reopening the link.

We're living in a post truth world and for some people if you don't see it, it didn't happen. Instead of questioning the abhorrent acts they can pretend that they're moral.
