Despite Israeli elections, Benjamin Netanyahu traveled across the globe to Rio de Janeiro to meet today with one of the few leaders more aligned with his far-right militarism than his close Gulf despot allies: @JairBolsonaro. He'll stay in Brazil to attend the Jan 1 inauguration.
For obvious reasons, Benjamin Netanyahu & Jair Bolsonaro are having a lovefest. Netanyahu, in Brazil for Bolsonaro's Jan. 1 inauguration, was in a Rio synagogue today & hailed him by the worshipful name his followers use for their Leader: "Legend" oglobo.globo.com/mundo/em-sinag…
For rational reasons of ideological similarity, Israel's closest allies are now (ironically) Eastern European far right governments, the right-wing extremist movements of Western Europe and the Anglosphere, and Gulf State despots theintercept.com/2016/11/30/gro…

NBC and MSNBC Blamed Russia for Using “Sophisticated Microwaves” to Cause “Brain Injuries” in U.S. “Diplomats” in Cuba. The Culprits Were Likely Crickets. theintercept.com/2019/01/07/nbc…
NBC and MSNBC repeatedly put @KenDilanianNBC all over the air to do what he does - mindlessly repeat what @CIA tells him to say - to state that Russia attacked US diplomats in Cuba with microwaves. The likely culprit was this pretty Caribbean male cricket theintercept.com/2019/01/07/nbc…
It's important to note these new scientific findings, as well as the prior statements from numerous neurological experts, don't dispositively prove that NBC story was false. They just raise very serious doubts. It's *possible* these alarming things happened in the Cuba incident:

Yes, the US press is so brave & free - when it comes to foreign leaders. Remember when, after 9/11, all TV networks obeyed the government's orders not to broadcast video of Osama bin Laden explaining the attack on the ground he'd included coded messages to activate sleeper cells?
US media obeyed the government's orders to impose a blackout on Al Qaeda explaining their motives for the 9/11 attack (US violence & interference in the Muslim world), which is what let @DavidFrum & friends create the bullshit "they-hate-us-for-our-freedom" fairy tales.
Then there was that time in 2004 when NYT discovered Bush/Cheney was *illegally* eavesdropping on Americans, but sat on the story upon the orders of the WH, only to publish it *after* Bush's win because Jim Risen was going to break the story in his book theintercept.com/2018/01/03/my-…

Now that Warren emphatically supported Trump's decision to withdraw troops from Syria & Afghanistan - ignoring @Maddow's desperate bait to bash Trump & instead condemned Endless War - the silence on these issues of Sanders (&, to a lesser extent, @AOC) becomes harder to maintain:
I emailed Sanders' office on Dec 26 to ask his view on Syria troop withdraw - was told they were discussing it but he didn't yet have a position. As I said, people are entitled to time to address complex matters, but these debates are central & ongoing silence is hard to justify.
To be clear, the quote I got when I emailed Sanders' office on Dec 26 about Syria troop withdrawal was this: "We’ve been discussing but he hasn’t made a statement yet." They're now suggesting this doesn't mean he has no position, just that he hasn't publicly expressed one yet.

u may have seen that brazil nearly elected a full-on fascist in the 1st round of its presidential elections on sunday.
u may have questions too.
i'll use this thread to clarify+debunk things i see circulating that are dead wrong.
i'll also provide some reading suggestions.
vamos+
brazil has run-off voting & bolsonaro (whom i'll refer to as the fascist) did not reach 51%,so not ALL hope is lost. between the 1st round of the general election on sunday (which also was for senate, house, and governor) and the 2nd round, candidates have 3 weeks to campaign.+
the remaining candidates for the 2nd round of the presidential election are the fascist (whose problems i have gone into ad nauseum on this site & written about elsewhere and you can go searching for later) and fernando haddad, who represents PT (workers' party)+

‼️STOP THE LIES - "Palestinians must come to the table for talks"
Reminder👇😡👉 Mar 16, 2015
#Netanyahu Says NO Palestinian State While He's In Charge!
He also plans to continue building #WestBank settlements in #Palestine.
#BoycottIsrael #BDS #Occupation #ICC4Israel #Gaza
#Israel-i voters endorse #Netanyahu's policies
March, 2015 Bibi said he wouldn't allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
He explicitly stated that the reason creation of settlements is to block #Palestinians access to #Jerusalem & the establishment of a continuous state
#BDS
What #Palestinians Think Of #Netanyahu's 'No #Palestine' Statement👇
Benjamin Netanyahu made a promise to never allow a Palestinian state if he was elected. That played well with a significant portion of #Israel-is – but what do Palestinians think about his bold statement?

1. Ahad voted against permission for a new @marksandspencer store because he felt that M&S are "Zionists who kill Palestinians" Dipu is quite unpleasant, he also hounded the members of the Holocaust Memorial Day org so badly, the Jewish members walked out chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…
2) Lord Ahmed, blamed a "Jewish Conspiracy" for his imprisonment for a fatal motorway crash. Ahmed resigned from @UKLabour thetimes.co.uk/article/muslim…
3) Cllr Aziz urged Jews to “stop drinking Gaza’s blood,”. He has also compared the actions of Israelis towards the Palestinians to the actions of Nazis towards Jews & said Jews in the Middle East could move to the U.S. He is still an @UKLabour Councillor jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/ilyas-aziz-rea…
