- Comment on Australian police beat an opposition politician so badly that she might lose an eye -- simply for being at an anti-genocide protest. 1 hour ago:
I wasn’t concentrating specifically on Aus either, just pointing out that a prominent member of “the west” is brutally attempting to silence dissent, which they are. Yes, I am trying to say that criticism of Israel isn’t looked upon kindly in Australia – or in France, or in Germany, or in Italy, or in the Netherlands – and there’s no dearth of police brutality to be had in the US and Canada either.
As for arresting Netanyahu, Belgium and Hungary have straight up said they’ll be doing no such thing, and Greece was more than happy to welcome him despite there being an ICC arrest warrant out for him. Germany’s obviously not going to arrest him, France has done everything possible to be as lily-livered and non-committal about it as possible while backtracking on Palestinian recognition.
So no, it hasn’t “been permitted” indefinitely. The tide is turning amongst the people, but governments are still being as heavy-handed and militaristic as possible to shield their genocidaire buddies and the military contracts they bring.

the point is about whether criticism of Israel is allowed. It is, both by people and politicians.
May I remind you that we’re discussing this on a post about how an Australian woman in Australia was viciously beaten by state actors (cops) for engaging in criticism of Israel.
There are also instances of EU(Irish) citizens being deported due to Palestine support.
Again, if someone’s being deported for criticizing Israel, I don’t think that really qualifies as “criticism is allowed”. In theory, I’m sure it is. In practice is a very different beast.

league of Arab counties
Which Arab countries? Every single one has been quiet, and some have been actively aiding the genocide.
Even Germany and France have expressed concern
To what end? Germany’s been militant in its support, and France shrank away from actively censuring the genocidaires every chance they got.
The EU as whole is flagging that free trade agreements may be annulled due to war crimes.
They’ve been doing that dance for over a year. What has come of it?

- Comment on Florida sheriff warns protesters ahead of nationwide rallies: ‘We will kill you dead’ 2 weeks ago:
With how cops are, it’s tantamount to the same thing – it’s tacit approval for them to straight up murder protesters regardless of provocation. They can always make that shit up later and get off without consequences.
- Comment on Florida sheriff warns protesters ahead of nationwide rallies: ‘We will kill you dead’ 2 weeks ago:
None of those things automatically give you the right to murder someone. Due process exists for a reason.

No you won’t. It’s significantly higher, and those are the 10% that actually make it to the news.

Uttar Pradesh is India’s analogue to the US’ deep south. Take the worst stereotypes you’d associate with that, turn them up 11x, and that about covers what it’s like.

They’re two separate statements. I acknowledge that it’s beyond shitty for cops to be shooting anyone (especially journalists) without cause.
But also the news outlet in question is known to have shitty politics and therefore while this specific article is more or less accurate (and backed up by other sources) , they are far from a reliable source.

- Comment on TIL a single 25kg bag of flour now costs $1000 in Gaza. 2 weeks ago:
Gaza is extremely short on physical cash, which is ironically why merchants only accept physical cash. This has given rise to a middleman industry where Gazans have to wirelessly transfer money via the Bank of Palestine app to a “money exchanger” office who will give them physical cash in exchange, while taking a (now 45%) cut for themselves

Judging by their relative sizes in the screengrab and with some quick back-of-the-envelope math, the cop is about 5 meters away from her. That’s pretty fucking close to point blank, no?
