Uri Avnery: Netanyahu faces indictment soon on multiple corruption scandals, and Israelis are ready to vote him out.
An analysis of the UK labor market shows that unemployment is very low, but abuse of powerless workers is up.
The Rainforest Action Network says that Pepsico's supposed plan to end deforestation and enslavement of labor in its palm oil supply chain is just a disguise for not doing much.
Antifascist counterprotesters met the torch-carrying right-wing bigots who marched through the University of Virginia on Friday. Many local businesses closed or put up signs telling bigots they are not welcome.
The torches reference the Ku Klux Klan, which in the 1860s burned black people's houses, and in the 1920s burned crosses as a threat.
On Saturday, the bigots held their main rally, attended by counterprotesters, with numerous thugs watching. And watch is all they did, when some of the bigots attacked unarmed counterprotesters.
The troll pointedly refused to condemn the racist violence that he helped to stir up.
He pretended that "many" sides were responsible for the violence that was repeatedly launched by the bigots.
Mainstream media did likewise, describing the violence in ways that cover up who was responsible.
A neo-Nazi drove a car into a crowd of peaceful antifascist counterprotesters in Charlottesville, killing one and seriously injuring several more, in an act of terrorism. His adherence to Nazism was long-standing.
The Nazi group that held the meeting says it is not their responsibility because the terrorist was not a "member" of the group. We would hardly accept such an excuse from Islamist terrorists, and we should not accept it here. They willfully stirred up this violence, so they are morally responsible for it.
Some Nazis claim the rally was a victory. That is partly an instance of their troll-style policy of systematic exaggeration, but I suspect that the murder will win them more support from the violent crazies that they intentionally recruit. Other right-wing acts of violence have had this effect.
