Despite the announcement of the suspension of Turkish trade with Israel, a large number of ships continue to import and export daily between Israeli and Turkish ports.
#India#Politics#Elections#WhatsApp#Disinformation#Propaganda: "India’s ongoing elections are the world’s largest in history, with almost 1 billion people eligible to vote. They are so big that voting is being conducted in waves from April 19 to June 1. The BJP, which has been in power for 10 years, is widely expected to win. But in the process, both Modi’s administration and his electoral campaign have been criticized for stirring hate against Muslims and increasing polarization.
As millions of Indians vote, many of them will turn to WhatsApp for information. India is the Meta-owned app’s largest market, with 400 million active users — more than a quarter of the country’s population. India’s last general elections, in 2019, were labeled the “WhatsApp elections” because of the platform’s prevalence and influence. In 2024, politicians are redoubling their focus on the app.
Kiran Garimella, an assistant professor at Rutgers University who researches WhatsApp in India, told Rest of World the app reaches people that other platforms don’t, including remote communities. “There are a number of people in India who only use WhatsApp,” he said.
Mittelalterliches Denken. Es gab nie ein " quer"- Denken. Sondern eine manifeste #Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit, basierend auf Unkenntnis, tief liegenden Ängsten und #Mystizismus. Es war schon da als #Verschwörungsgläubige auf die Straße gingen. Dieser Brei hat sich zu einer völligen Realitätsferne entwickelt und zur Feindseligkeit gegenüber allem Faktenbasierten. Diese Irrationalität wurde gezielt von der #AfD mit politischen Inhalten verquirlt und diesen Menschen eine politische Heimat gegeben
Vor Jahren habe ich viele Diskussionen verloren als Beatrix von #Storch ein Interview gab, in dem sie behauptete, dass "die Sonne schuld" sei. Aus der linken Ecke kam Spott und alle lachten über sie. Ich nicht. Kaum jemand sah die gezielte Propaganda der AfD, um #Esoteriker, Verschwörungsgläubige etc anzulocken. Jedes Fußstapfen von #Weidel. Jede irrationale Aussage der AfD Führungen. War niemals ein Beweis für ihre"Dummheit". Ihre Nazi- #Propaganda wurde nicht erkannt.

"The strategy utilised by the Zionist Establishment within Jewish communities and outside these communities, particularly, in the United States, England, France, Germany and Australia is to engage in an intentional falsification of history and contemporary reality when it comes to the supposedly intractable conflict between Israel and the Palestinians."
...
"As the world witnessed in the case of the destruction of the highly probable victory of Jeremy Corbyn becoming British Prime Minister, these campaigns of destroying opponents of Israeli ethnic cleansing have been extremely potent and successful.
Muss die @tagesschau jetzt ernsthaft die #Propaganda von #Bystron und #Baumann ungefiltert in mein Wohnzimmer kotzen lassen? MUSS DAS?
Blabla. "Unterstellung, seit vielen Wochen, die Umfragewerte der afd drücken. Durch das System .bla."
Nein, ihr Arschkrampen. Ihr seid #Kriminelle.
Und jetzt haltet die Fresse.
Junge! Der hatte am Morgen ne #Hausdurchsuchung und kann abends in den Hauptnachrichten persönlich noch etwas dazu abseilen.
Habt ihr sie nicht mehr alle??
Same person calling everyone they disagree with names is one that uses "Zionist" to hide their hatred for Jews. So sick of these people saying they are against hate and spreading it.
RE #nytimes reported that MSNBC hosts,...They say their message — that Mr. Trump’s candidacy represents a unique and clear threat to democracy — is an urgent one for the electorate to hear
I dont see fascist #propaganda on #msnbc, I see great in the court reporting, like "he has his eyes closed 80 to 90% of the time"
⭕He is showing his defiance to the #TrumpTrial jury
If not for MSNBC, only the jury would see this fascist conman tactic
US Ambassador Jacob Lew says that the US is continuing to generously send more weapons to Israel.
In an interview with Israel's channel 12, #US#Ambassador Jacob Lew said that the occupation state has not crossed the red line in #Rafah and that there will be no interruption in US aid to Israel.
He added that "it is wrong to believe that anything has fundamentally changed in the relationship between Washington and Tel Aviv."
"As everyone is focusing on the decision to delay one set of ammunition, everything else keeps flowing."
Gaza has a Hamas problem @knowprose and Israel has a Likud problem.
They're problems that the respective populations have Democratically chosen. They're both problems that have the overwhelming support of those populations.
🤔
Which raises a question:
media and government commentators commonly refer to "the Hamas-run health ministry";
why don't we hear "the Likud-run military", for example? #Palestine #Israel #Hamas #Likud #propaganda @palestine @israel
"'Propaganda is not education,' says ex US secretary of state, slamming campus activists for ignorance of Palestinians' rejection of husband Bill Clinton's 2000 peace initiative.'
Massive signal of naZi belaruZZian #propaganda service targeting Poland on 106.2 MHz from Brest/Rakitnitsa, currently bashing same-sex marriages and praising the Taliban for fighting with these "modern practices" xD #FMDX
Arabs suffer from a long and systematic stereotyping from the West. From the Orientalist movement of the 18th century till today, Western perceptions of Arabs and by extension Muslims, are based on what they have been conditioned to believe through the media be it in the form of literature, art, and more recently, movies and...
»Von Fake News zum totalen Chaos! Wie böse bist du? Bekomme so viele Follower*innen, wie du nur kannst.«
Social-Media ist Propagabda wie andere Medien auch. Es sind nicht alle und es wird gezielter ausgeführt um Menschen zu beeinflussen. In diesem Online-Spiel kannst du dich mal selber überprüfen oder Propaganda vertretend spielen.
Autocrats in China, Russia are now making common cause with MAGA Republicans to discredit liberalism and freedom around the world. 🚨
These dictatorships around the world have coalesced to promote autocracy - and how some Americans (we see you, Republicans) and Europeans help them.
Lawsuits, threats, and smear tactics have chilled government, academic, & tech-company responses to disinformation.
One could call this a secret authoritarian “plot” to preserve the ability to spread Antidemocratic conspiracy theories, except that it’s not a secret. It’s all visible, right on the surface. Russia, China, & other state actors—Venezuela, Iran, Hungary—work with Republicans to discredit democracy, to undermine the credibility of democratic leaders, to mock the rule of law. They do so with the goal of electing criminal Trump, whose second presidency would damage the image of democracy around the world, as well as the stability of #democracy in #America, even further.
Rachel Maddow discusses her research into fascism, disinformation, and propaganda.
It's not merely an attempt to foster animosity towards a particular group. Fascist disinformation is to erode our democracy by convincing us that a specific group is perilous, untrustworthy, and should be disenfranchised.
What has transpired since 2016 with the former president is not just the vilification of ethnic minorities. He, along with Fox propaganda and other purveyors of disinformation, have escalated lies and disinformation into a violent domestic terrorist movement and a MAGA-driven fascist party. The presence of Republican fascists is a reality now.
👇
Fascism ... is about getting us to undo #democracy and we shouldn't stand for it.

Sie hetzen gegen Ungläubige, wollen einen Gottesstaat mit Burka und Scharia: islamistische Influencer verbreiten in den sozialen Medien ihre radikalen Botschaften. Allen voran »Muslim Interaktiv«, die Gruppierung hinter der Hamburger Islamisten-Demo. Wochenlange Recherchen zeigen: die Propagandisten im Namen Allahs sind viel aktiver, als man denkt.
This podcast is good at making #history easier to digest, if you're interested--
Up this week is Zionism, Zionist #propaganda, Balfour, the guy chosen to mess up Palestine, who had previously wreaked havoc in Ireland and denied entry to Jews fleeing the holocaust who were hoping to find refuge in the UK. And Herzl &more stuff.
🧵…den oben erwähnte Protest, wird selten erkannt wie antisemitisch die sind und "Linke" für Propaganda sich reizen lassen.

"Jud Süß", 1940 bei den Filmfestspielen von Venedig uraufgeführt, gilt als einer der wirkungsmächtigsten und damit gefährlichsten Propagandafilme des Nazi-Regimes. Aber wie und wo wird Antisemitismus heute verbreitet?«
