I actually loathe having to flag racism because I hate it but it is still happening. I flag, I confront, I don't pretend it doesn't exist. How can I pretend, when in recent years, hateful racism has arisen to points I was assaulted by racist antimaskers, calling me "fucked up gook" "Chinese plague girl" "Yellow shithead" & worse. While white folks said/did nothing to show me they have basic human decency.
The hope of ending ‘Israel’s fever dream’: An interview with Craig Mokhiber
In a wide-ranging interview, Craig Mokhiber reflects on his time as Director of the New York Office of the UN’s High Commissioner of Human Rights after he stepped down in protest over the UN’s failure to prevent a “textbook case of genocide” in Gaza.
“If Israel gets away with massive war crimes, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, and genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, if the message is that these rules established after the 2nd World War don’t apply to the U.S. and its allies, this will be the beginning of the end of the entire international framework.”
"This piece was originally commissioned by an editor at The Guardian, who asked me to write about the wave of retaliation and censorship of political expression in solidarity with Palestinians that we’ve seen in the past two weeks. Amid my work as an attorney on some of the resulting cases, I carved out some time to write the following. Minutes before it was supposed to be published, the head of the opinion desk wrote me an email that they were unable to run the piece. When I called her for an explanation she had none, and blamed an unnamed higher-up. That a piece on censorship would get killed in this way—without explanation, but plainly in the interest of political suppression—is, beyond the irony of the matter, a grave indictment of the media response to this critical moment in history. —Dylan Saba"
Sorry for sullying your feeds with the monumental shite spewing from the mouth of Richard fucking Tice.
"Boris was wrong, it wasn't a kangaroo court, it was a lynch mob. 'If anything has truly undermined democracy it is this shameful political lynch mob'." #Complicity#UKPolitics#PrivilegesCommittee
