Bulgarian nationalists propose law to “socialize” Roma people, incentivising abortions.

ICYMI, Bulgarian Gov systematically demolished Roma homes - desocializing them! Our report > opensocietyfoundations.org/sites/default/…
Using research on home demolitions by Bulgaria’s Equal Opportunies Association > >
And here’s Bulgaria’s EOIA & @osfEUpolicy call in Nov 2018 to UN Human Rights Committee to act against the demolitions > tbinternet.ohchr.org/Treaties/CCPR/…
In actions like pogroms, Bulgarian racists - with the connivance of elected officials are driving Roma people from the village homes they have lived in for generations.

Voyvodinovo, January 2019

It doesn’t have to be this way. Bulgarian Gov can easily regularise these long-standing Roma communities. They built their own homes. They want to support themselves. > errc.org/roma-rights-jo…

What stops this is racism. //

Why is RTE platforming eugenic racism?
Delete the tweet @rtesport. Delete the broadcast.
No broadcaster should promote eugenics @RTEsport . Least of all the broadcaster for a nation which was so devastated by British eugenic theories of the inferior Irish.

She’s a British citizen. Why does Guardian normalise idea that a politician could exile her?

(If she’s committed crimes against UK law, she can - of course - be prosecuted here.) theguardian.com/world/2019/feb…
Now UK Minister says that - as a British citizen - Shamima Begum has a right to return home to UK.

Good - that’s the right legal & political position.

theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/f…
Q of what duties UK Gov has to *help* her come back to UK is v different. Basic point - Gov should never use or threaten exile.

I’m here for the unwitting honesty of British nationalist Twitter’s pain.
Digby Jones shows us two key themes of British nationalism:

“UK sounding & being strong is good, natural. Other states sounding & being strong is bad, bullying.”

“UK opposition shouldn’t contest Gov decision on international relations, they should back them”
Don’t @ me about how it’s English not British nationalism :)

#ICYMI NEW YORK (Reuters) - Three former Credit Suisse Group AG bankers were arrested in London on Thursday on U.S. charges that they took part in a fraud scheme involving $2 billion in loans to state-owned companies in Mozambique, a spokesman for U.S. prosecutors said.
Andrew Pearse, 49; Surjan Singh, 44; and Detelina Subeva, 37 were charged in an indictment in Brooklyn, New York federal court with conspiring to violate U.S. anti-bribery law and to commit money laundering and securities fraud, according to spokesman John Marzulli.
They have been released on bail in London while the United States seeks extradition.

The arrests come five days after former Mozambique Finance Minister Manuel Chang was arrested in South Africa as part of the same criminal case.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

 This young man is Muhammad Sharif Badwan. He was killed East of #Gaza City at the Karni crossing after being shot in the chest by #IDF gunfire on Friday afternoon. #Israel
2/5
 Many news sites refer to Badwan as either a protestor or a demonstrator who was shot and killed by the #IDF. The photo on the left, from the DailyMail, states Badwan is a protestor. The photo on the right from CGTN states Badwan is a protestor as well.
3/5
 The problem is Badwan wasn’t there to protest in the way most people think. This video was taken Friday afternoon at the Karni crossing where Palestinians were clashing w/ #IDF soldiers. At the end, you can see Badwan being evacuated after getting shot by the #IDF.

#ICYMI: Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights last night. In response, Israeli military set out on an extensive retaliatory attack against Iranian targets, the largest Israeli attack in Syria since 1974
No casualties reported on the Israeli side. Several targets connected to the #IRGC & Hezbollah attacked by Israel. Syrian media claims dozens of Israeli missiles were intercepted. There are reports of casualties in Syria.
More bomb shelters opened in northern Israel
The rocket barrage from Syria was directed at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights, like the intelligence assessment that the Iranian response will be limited so it won't lead to war. It is the 1st time Israel blames Iran directly for an attack on its territory
