Just wrapped up the panel. That was a crucially important and detailed discussion on the inner workings of the #Assange extradition hearing by journalists who covered the case.

Big thank you to @kgosztola and @jlpassarelli for hosting this. Image
A big and special thank you to all the brave journalists with integrity who reported on the #Assange hearing when few would. @SMaurizi @unjoe @jlpassarelli @kgosztola @MElmaazi @Tareq_Haddad @johnpilger @CraigMurrayOrg @_taylorhudak @MaryKostakidis @Consortiumnews @DEAcampaign
Please remember to support independent media and all our collective efforts. (Apologies if I missed anyone or didn’t have their handle).
You can watch the full back-to-back panel here:

Equally, I want to thank all the amazing activists who’d queue up in the early hours just to get us spots in this restricted show trial, as well as the #Assange legal team and their incredible efforts in battling this imperialist attack on those who expose the truth. #FreeAssange

While Germans are being attacked at a Christmas market, their diplomats are in Damascus establishing ties with a man who carried out countless attacks like this as a senior commander in ISIS and Al Qaeda. But the media are whitewashing him because Al Qaeda and ISIS are assets of Western intelligence. They don't care who is in power as long as they can take Syria's land, control its resources, and protect Zionism.
Ironically, both the attacker in Germany and Jolani are from Saudi Arabia. Which is where Wahhabism, the extremist ideology that Al Qaeda and ISIS are based on, also comes. The Saudis continue to export this sectarian ideology with the full knowledge and support of the West.
Wahabism shares many similarities with Zionism. Its followers are sectarian; believe the Levant belongs to them; that killing is acceptable; that those who do not practice their faith, or who practice it slightly differently are goyim/kuffar (subhumans/infidels); Natural allies.

The deadliest terrorist attack in history against British subjects was carried out by Zionists.

Never forget this fact.

Menachem Begin, responsible for the King David Hotel bombing, even became Israeli Prime Minister because Israeli society rewards violence.
In 2006, the Israelis unveiled a plaque at the site of the King David Hotel to commemorate the attack.

A bit like if Al Qaeda would unveil a commemorative plaque at the site of the Twin Towers.

Netanyahu attended this celebration of terrorism.
The plaque even blamed the victims for not evacuating fast enough. The same way Israelis think you deserve to die for not leaving quickly enough after a roof knock.

It was so offensive the British govt officially protested & the Israelis changed the text— but only in English, not Hebrew.

Police: you have the right to tell someone you've been arrested

Me: yes, I'd like to do that

Police: Due to the nature of the alleged offense your calls are withheld

Me: but you just said I have the right to inform someone

Police: the right can be waived

Lol. Basically "shut your mouth, you have no rights". This is what their idea of "'counterterrorism" means and what laws like this lead to.
Another great exchange:

Police: you have the right to know why you've been arrested

Me: yes, can you please tell me why. What is section 12 and what "prescribed orgs"? What is being alleged?

Police: we're just the arresting officers / you'll be told when you're questioned
Imagine you're taken off a plane for fucking "terrorism" and this is all the info you're left to go off of lol.

Go sit in the urine-smelling cell in solitary, where we film and record you sleeping, eating, peeing. And wait around for 15 hours until we decide to enlighten you with what it is we claim you've done wrong.

Unfortunately, it seems we were not successful at denazifying Germans like this one
Schools could indeed lose their status as protected civilian objects if used for military purposes— but the civilians inside do not. You cannot justify murdering over 100 people in order to kill 19, who are not even in Hamas. The israelis just publish random photos and names:

Yes, precisely. A ceasefire is just the first step. Then the settlers must return to their countries and hand over the land. All of it. We will accept nothing less. The fact that a ceasefire is so controversial and difficult for the West shows they are hell-bent on murder.
No Arabs were involved in the negotiation of a Partition Plan for Palestine. It was imposed. Then when the Palestinians signed Oslo, they got stabbed in the back and Israel said "no two state solution". Fine, but that goes both ways. When you annul a contract the other party is also released from it.

BREAKING: CCTV footage of Israeli soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian hostage at Sde Teiman published by Israel's Ch12

The soldiers put up their riot shields to hide their actions from the camera.
(auto-translation to English)
This is the same victim that was hospitalized over a week ago with a ruptured bowel, a severe injury to the anus, lung damage and broken ribs.

According to Israeli media the victim is not a Hamas militant and did not participate in Oct 7. They were kidnapped in March.
