There is saying about authoritarianism that goes something like âthe true power of the authoritarian is not in telling the lie, but in getting people to repeat it who know it is lie.â

The people in power and pieces of shit like Soroâs is just loving whatâs playing out here in the states. Itâs everything that is just working to their advantage. Itâs just going to continue giving them more control and power. Sad and dark days ahead my brothers.
These protests are anti-semitic. Also, George Soros is behind them

The assessment, released by the UN Development Programme, said Gaza needs âapproximately 80 years to restore all the fully destroyed housing unitsâ.
However, in a best-case scenario in which construction materials are delivered five times as fast as in the last crisis in 2021, it could be done by 2040, the report said.
âThe United Nations Development Programmeâs initial estimates for the reconstruction of ⌠the Gaza Strip surpass $30bn and could reach up to $40bn,â said UN assistant secretary general Abdallah al-Dardari .
This speech is very bad and should probably be regarded as incitement. That is not within the realms of political demonstration, more roleplaying war and insurrection. Absolute moron whoever is speaking there. These students are not repressed themselves, palestinians are represssed. They are not in Gaza, but larping it. This is very, very destructive for protests that are peaceful and is of course extremely counter productive. Role playing war against the state, much like MAGAâŚ

Meanwhile, in the actual conflict area where people are actually suffering, Israel does this to their own beduin citizens. Even when the little girl is in hospital, humanitarian concerns counts for nothing in israel
Ugly, oh so ugly.

US campus arrests pass 2,000 â report
At least 200 people were arrested at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) on Thursday, the Associated Press now says, bringing the nationwide total of arrests to more than 2,000 at dozens of college campuses since police cleared an encampment at Columbia University on 30 April.
Demonstrations and arrests have occurred in almost every corner of the nation, and in the last 24 hours most prominently at UCLA where officers in riot gear swamped protesters, removed barricades and began dismantling demonstratorsâ fortified encampment.
Sgt Alejandro Rubio of the California highway patrol, citing data from the Los Angeles county sheriffâs department, said the 200 detained on Thursday were booked at the county jails complex near downtown Los Angeles, and UCLA will determine any charges.
I am hoping they just bombed regime and Hezbollah shipment as usual and not another hit on the Iranians.

Now thereâs a protest/encampment at MIT
Further detail and background on Prof Ghassan Abu-Sittah, the plastic and reconstructive surgeon who was denied entry to France, where he was due to speak to the French senate later today. Abu-Sittah has provided testimony on the war in Gaza after operating there during the conflict.
After arriving at Parisâ Charles De Gaulle Airport, Prof Ghassan Abu-Sitta, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, was informed by French authorities that Germany has enforced a Schengen-wide ban on his entry to Europe.
âThey are preventing me from entering France. I am supposed to speak at the French Senate Today,â said Sitta, who remains under French detention. âFortress Europe silencing the witnesses to the genocide while Israel kills them in prison.â
During the months of October and November 2023 at the beginning of Israelâs war on Gaza that has since killed more than 34,000 Palestinians, Abu-Sittah operated from Gazaâs Al Shifa and Al Ahli Baptist hospitals. During his 43 days, he described witnessing a âmassacre unfoldâ in Gaza and the use of white phosphorus munitions, which Israel has denied. He has also provided evidence to Scotland Yard.
The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) called his detention an âunacceptable harassment of a globally respected medical professionalâ.
âBy design, the Germans are silencing a key witness to Israelâs war crimes. This follows their action taken on 12 April to bar Dr Abu Sittaâs entry to Berlin to participate in the Palestine Congress - an event which German police later disbanded,â the independent organisation said in a statement.
âICJP are instructing lawyers in France and Germany to see that the Germanâs authoritarian crackdown on free speech and witness testimony wonât stand,â ICJP director Tayab Ali said.
WTF 
Wtf indeed⌠
And itâs a so-called centre-left government enforcing this. Honestly, Iâm already at the point at which I canât wait anymore for Schulz to fuck off back into the hole he came out from. Bring back Merkel please, or put in a real chancellor, not such an untasty, dishonest excuse of a politician!
I think if youâre expecting CDU to do anything different youâd probably be disappointedâŚ

@redalways, this discussion would probably digress too far away from the topic at hand.
Here is an excellent article from Harari, the writer of Sapiens, who is Israeli and had close family in a kibboutz when it was attacked on October 7th.
Itâs an attempt to present the current situation from the two opposing point of views. How do Palestinians feel about Nakba, their land being taken away by settlers and security forces, and now this awful carnage in Gaza? How do Jews in Israel feel about the surrounding Arab states, about the fact that they expelled all their Jewish populations between 1956 and 1967 (roughly 800k people, whose descendants form now a good part of Israelâs population), and what theyâd do to them if they had the power to drive them out? Finally, the article attempts to show a way out of this mutual nightmare. Itâs well worth a read.
