Earlier today, a Sky News correspondent called the Lebanon pager attack - which was almost certainly carried out by Israeli intelligence - "particularly innovative". An article in the New York Times called it "eye-catching". This is the same attack that killed nine people (including two children), injured nearly 3,000, caused mass eye injuries and left 460 people needing surgery.

The Mail on Sunday commentator Dan Hodges said: "It's hard to think of a more sophisticated or targeted attack on a terror group than pagers." What's sophisticated about killing a nine-year-old girl? What's targeted about injuring thousands of people in civilian areas, with no way of knowing who was holding the pagers at the time the bombs detonated?

✍️ George Orwell wrote 70 years ago that modern political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable.

When it comes to the media’s coverage of Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine, unfortunately there is a lot of modern political language masquerading as journalism aimed to perpetuate the status quo.

The language is designed to rob the oppressed of their very struggle for dignity.

Having worked with many of these news organizations, I know this pattern all too well, a pattern that dates back decades, and that aims to dehumanize Palestinians and absolve Israel of any accountability for the countless crimes they commit on a daily basis.

These news organizations intentionally obfuscate facts and erase fundamental context to shield Israel from facing consequences for the crimes of collective punishment, ethnic-cleansing, apartheid and occupation, protecting the racist and rogue zionist state.

Their complicity is as obscene as it is obvious and I can assure you that they know exactly what they are doing.

Tell me how to process that things like baby beheadings and rape that became screams of fake grief and screeches of genocide justification when merely suspected on israelis mean nothing when they actually fucking happen to Palestinians. Buried at the end of articles.

I can tell you that imaginary harm to the humanized group will always get a more visceral reaction than actual brutality against the dehumanized but that doesn't mean I can emotionally believe this kind of evil.

Fake rape was 'Screams Without Words'. Real rape is buried.

I hope the entire building of this 'newspaper' burns to the ground.

he New York Times faced widespread criticism and mockery after it published an article that critics said tried to soften the image of slain Hezbollah founder Hassan Nasrallah — claiming the terror leader who advocated for the annihilation of Israel was a champion of “equality” for all religious groups in the region.

The article, titled “Protesters Mourn Nasrallah’s Death Around the World” — published Saturday without a byline — heaps praise on Nasrallah as a “gifted orator” who “maintained that there should be one Palestine with equality for Muslims, Jews and Christians.”

Nasrallah fervently believed in the destruction of the Jewish state — and his organization carried out numerous horrific attacks on Jews around the world.

Nasrallah, 64, was killed in a massive aerial bombardment by Israeli forces in Beirut on Friday. He co-founded Hezbollah in 1982, becoming the terror group’s sole leader by 1992.

The Iran-backed Islamist militant group has been accused of perpetrating numerous deadly terror attacks targeting Jewish people over the last 40 years, including bombing a Jewish center in Buenos Aires in 1994, killing 85 people, and causing a plane crash the next day that killed 21 people, many of them Jewish.

Experienced some racism (physical assault) today that made me realize that I’m allowed to do whatever I want forever. And it made me realize that chivalry is not dead in that some people will be gallant bystanders when they get the chance to be. And also did I mention I’m allowed to do whatever I want FOREVER.

Never believe Russian narratives about Ukraine

Yesterday, Russians were celebrating Maslenitsa in the center of New York City, but fortunately, they were visited by our activists. They are celebrating while their fathers, brothers, and friends are killing us every day.

Big Punisher "Capital Punishment" Era

“New York glitter-punk outfit The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black began life as a near-death experience. Shortly before forming the band in 1990, front woman Kembra Pfahler was strangled in a brutal mugging and almost died. While recovering, battered and zonked on painkillers, she watched the 1975 horror movie Trilogy of Terror on television. The film stars Karen Black, the quirky cross-eyed actress whose wildly erratic career encompasses everything from some of the key American films of the 1970s (Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, Nashville, Day of the Locust) to mainstream Hollywood schmaltz (Airport 1975) to obscure straight-to-VHS exploitation / horror dreck. In Trilogy's best-known segment, Black is stalked by and eventually possessed by a cursed malevolent Zuni fetish doll which has come to life. [SPOILER ALERT] It concludes with a final jolting image of the now-crazed and murderous, knife-wielding Black grinning blank-eyed and maniacal to the camera to reveal a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth identical to the Zuni doll’s … In her traumatized state, that savage and disturbing image -- combined with almost dying -- made a powerful impression on Pfahler. Inspired, she would blacken out her teeth, conceal her natural fine-featured beauty under cadaverous make-up and take to the stage clad in little more than a pair of thigh boots and a coat of body paint. Pfahler’s look can suggest a character from a John Waters film given an “ugly make-over”: think of Divine as the acid-scarred Dawn Davenport in Female Trouble (1974), an image which seems to anticipate TVHKB’s twisted glamour. Like Divine before her, Pfahler shaves off her eyebrows and shaves back her hairline to accommodate her extreme eye make-up. “I want to be both very beautiful and very repulsive,” Pfahler would explain to The Toronto Star in 1994.”
