Israel prohibits Palestinian flag in public

mardi 10 janvier 2023 à 13:01

Israel has prohibited showing the Palestinian flag in public places.

Palestine asked the UN to adjudicate Israel's occupation of Palestine, and Israel is "punishing" this by applying many forms of repression all at once. (I have the feeling that the right-wing extremists in the new Israeli government were itching for an opportunity to do this.)

But why should Palestinians deserve punishment for asking the UN for adjudication of their rights?

mardi 10 janvier 2023 à 13:01

Bolsonaro probably entered the US using a visa he held as a head of state. In the normal course of events, that would be canceled now, and he would be compelled to leave the US. The US should make him leave rather than give him a base for planning to endanger Brazil.

The ideal thing would be to extradite him to Brazil, but I would expect there is no evidence to justify criminal charges.
