Israel arbitrarily labeled six Palestinian civil society groups as "terrorist," without a trial, by passing a law saying, "They are terrorists."

Then state agents raided the offices of those organizations.

Ask yourself, if Israel stops Palestinians from organized peaceful defense of their human rights, what alternative they would naturally turn to.

I greatly miss Uri Avnery, who would have explained the links between the events, and the newsletter The Other Israel, which would have given more information.

Big Pharma's condemnation of the bill that allows Medicare to negotiate bulk drug prices with pharma companies (for some drugs only) shows the central bogus assumption: whatever increases those companies' profit is automatically best for patients.

This is the faith of the cult of the Invisible Hand: "the market knows best," no obey it sheepishly, no matter how much big businesses use their clout to arrange for bad results.

The International Criminal Court is operating, but handicapped because the world's main powers have not signed the treaty for it. That includes the US.

A large study of medical records shows that, for people over 65 years old, Covid-19 leads to an increase of almost 5% in the probability of having brain fog or dementia in the next two years.

That is a big risk, worth considerable effort to avoid. The previous mayor of London — Bogus Johnson himself — gave thugs access to license plate camera images for the inner parts of London. The current mayor wants to extend this to a much broader area.

The injustice of this is the same regardless of how big an area it covers. Indeed, tracking cars through their license plates is wrong in itself. Surveillance of everyone is the soil for repression to grow.

A new app for reporting dissidents has magnified the threat from Crown Prince Bone Saw to anyone who criticizes the government.

This article doesn't mention the most grave statement that Salma al-Shehab made while at school in the UK: she stated support for the women's rights activist, Loujain al-Hathlou, who has been punished for that.

To imprison someone for so little shows repression carried to an almost Chinese extreme.
