What a joke: the non-Jews telling the Jew what Zionism is & isn’t. The ignorant arrogance is astonishing
🇬🇧 “Is it now the Labour position that a genocide is not racist?”
Green Party leader Zack Polanski confronted Conservative and Labour politicians at the London Assembly on Thursday after Conservative Susan Hall introduced a motion condemning the Greens’ decision to define Zionism as racism.
Hall called the Green Party’s position “abhorrent” and argued it threatened Jewish Londoners.
Polanski, who is Jewish, accused Hall of weaponizing antisemitism and challenged Labour members over their government’s continued military support for Israel amid the genocide in Gaza.
The Assembly passed Hall’s motion 19–3, with just the three Green members voting against it.

🔴'Here are two CAREER #politicians who have never built a business that had to survive on its own. Their entire adult lives have been spent inside politics - drawing salaries, climbing political ladders, and spending other people’s money - without ever running a business, making a payroll, or answering to a customer who could simply walk away.' - @JamesMelville

It is critical that everyone understand this: the issue of highly enriched uranium is a goalpost that the neocon & Israeli lobby echo chamber will keep moving until we physically go into Iran to “take it”. The actual goal is to force a ground invasion and/or never-ending air strikes.
Even when we bomb & obliterate all of Iran’s HEU, as we did w/Op midnight hammer, the lobby insists we have to go get the “nuclear dust,” creating the circumstances for more strikes and/or that prized boots-on-the-ground op.
The U.S. intelligence community assessed that Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon. The entire premise of chasing “nuclear dust” was—and remains—bait to draw us into Israel’s war.
Fuck, we have a new problem. The Neocons have a new pitch to Trump: 'The only way to fix the damage the Iran war has done to your legacy is to force them to give up their highly enriched uranium.'
They're spamming him with this stupid new idea, undermining Vance's efforts to reach a diplomatic solution
What they leave out of their pitch is that Iran will NEVER give up their uranium to Trump, as it's their only bargaining chip, and giving it up is an irreversible step, while Trump's conscessions (lifting the blockade and sanctions) are easily reversible
And needless to say, the Iranians do not trust Trump, or the U.S.

British Army training fails to recognise the changed face of war – Video
Instead of focusing on drone defences, elite soldiers of the British Army are using a winter camp in Estonia to battle “cold feet” and practice the completely outdated bayonet stab.
How ridiculous!

Let’s do the actual math of the imperial supply chain.
Take a mother working in a garment factory in Bangladesh.
She works a 12-hour shift.
During that shift, she sews more than 150-200 t-shirts for H&M.
Her pay for the entire day? Less than 5 dollars.
Now look at the other end of the ledger.
H&M takes those exact same shirts and sells them to European consumers for more than 20 Euros each.
That is over 4,000 Euros in retail value. Generated by her hands. In a single day.
Her cut is less than a fraction of a percent. The rest goes straight to shareholders in Stockholm.
What is the human cost of this math?
This mother spends 12 hours away from her child. She works until her body gives out. And she goes home to a wage that barely covers the bare minimum food to share with her family at the dinner table.
This is what Western "free trade" actually looks like on the ground.
The European consumer gets cheap fashion. The corporate boardroom gets record dividends. The Bangladeshi mother gets starvation.
H&M runs massive ad campaigns in Europe talking about "conscious" fashion and "sustainability."
But there is absolutely nothing sustainable about a system that requires a mother to sacrifice her child's childhood just to keep the company's profit margins intact.
This is why the factories are shutting down.
They aren't just striking for a few extra cents. They are striking for the right to actually sit at the dinner table with their kids.
All power to the striking workers of Bangladesh.
They are hitting the empire right in the ledger.

It's mindboggling that Tusk dared to invite German troops to Poland, and it's mindboggling that Germans dared to send troops to Poland!
"Mr. Tusk! To Poles, you're a German, and to Germans, you're nobody"

Rutte wants to put Europe’s failing auto industry on a war footing and called for civilian companies in Europe to be involved in arms production.
According to Rutte, Russia’s entire industry has long been operating in war-economy mode, while Europe’s auto industry is occupied with cars. Rutte believes that European industries should now switch to defense products.
At the same time, he noted that the countries of the alliance had increased ammunition production sixfold in recent years...

“What kind of complete madness is it to charge someone with terrorism and then put him on a bus with other people?”
A man arrested on terror charges for supporting Palestine Action was transported by police on a public London bus while it was operating its usual route.
Blind and a wheelchair user, Mike Higgins was reportedly difficult for police to transport because his wheelchair would not fit on standard police ramps, Defend Our Juries told The New Arab.

Hier à Rennes, une quarantaine manifestants ont été enfermés dans une nasse par les CRS, puis frappés à la matraque et au bouclier, masques arrachés.
Regardez comment le pouvoir réprime un peuple qui se lève
Il faut une enquête et que les responsables rendent des comptes.
