Criticism of Israel's occupation policies

mardi 4 février 2020 à 01:00

*In the topsy-turvy world of Israel's High Court, international law is nothing more than a disguise to delegitimize the state and its settlements.*

The court equated condemnation of Israel's policies with "delegitimization of Israel". Then the overbroad definition of antisemitism (the same one used to demonize the UK Labour Party) equates that to "antisemitism". Thus demonstrating how to relabel criticism of occupation policies as "antisemitism" in two easy leaps.

Discussions about Yovanovitch

mardi 4 février 2020 à 01:00

A video recording shows that the bully discussed dismissing Ambassador Yovanovitch with Lev Parnas in 2018.

This refutes several of his lies. It may challenge some Republicans' capacity for blackwhiting.

(The term "blackwhiting" comes from the book, 1984, where it meant telling lies even though they are obviously false.)

Misguided assumptions about race

mardi 4 février 2020 à 01:00

* Misguided assumptions about race are going mainstream, but hard facts can help you combat entrenched attitudes.*

In particular, one can't deduce anything about large groups of people from the few who are so atypical as to be finalists in an Olympic sport.

Propaganda prohibition

mardi 4 février 2020 à 01:00

The UK government wants to prohibit "possession of terrorist propaganda".

The UK is already taking a stab at labeling Extinction Rebellion and Greenpeace as violent extremists. Prohibition of their publications would be only a few more steps further down this path.

Furthermore, prohibiting the possession of some kind of writings or art, no matter what kind, puts people in danger.
