Ha'aretz editor-in-chief Aluf Benn calls Israel's military campaign its "most failed and pointless Gaza operation ever," says "the military has no idea how to paralyze Hamas’ forces" and is afraid to fight it face-to-face for fear of heavy losses haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…

In 2014, Israel blew up Basha Tower, home to many Palestinian media offices & major “press freedom” outfits said nothing. Last week, it bombed Shorouq Tower, base of Palestinian media offices - more silence.

Is this what it will take for these NGOs to condemn Israel’s terror?
This is such a pathetic and revealing statement by the corporate-backed @pressfreedom demanding Israeli “provide...justification” for its deliberate attacks on journalists. cpj.org/2021/05/israel…
There will be no #PsakiBomb condemning Israel’s military dictatorship as it literally bombs journalists working under siege in Gaza. This is the “rules based order,” where the US green lights apartheid terror.

Zionist pogromists beat a motorist senseless today in the city of Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv-Yafa. They suspected him of being a Palestinian.

This is awesome, the CIA is almost taking credit for the narcissistic radlibs that infest the US left and summoning them home to base
The inspirational quote on the CIA diversity wall from the US/UK project Aung Sang Suu Kyi was just 👌 Image

There would not have been so much suspicion about AOC's role if she had not previously branded harsh criticism by @jimmy_dore as "violence," or enlisted her campaign's supporters to report social media critics to Twitter & FB censors as "disinformation." thegrayzone.com/2021/04/09/ant…
All it took was one fabricated allegation to US Secret Service Police by a powerful exile lobby weaponized by the US gov't to trigger my arrest and jailing.

I suspect something similar was done to @queeralamode – and it will happen to others soon. thegrayzone.com/2019/12/07/us-…
What the US Capitol (Thought) Police did to @queeralamode was absolutely monstrous, and its explanation for targeting him is absurd.

I'm sure the Capitol Police effort "to build files," as referenced here by AOC, was only limited to right-wing racists, and not leftist critics.

As the US military occupation of Syria deepens & Western sanctions spawn starvation & medical shortages, a group of Western-based regime changers publish another tired open letter attacking critics of the dirty war & implicitly endorsing intervention.

Thread on some signatories
The letter was first circulated by Gilbert Achcar, a UK Trotskyist who also clamored for a NATO no fly zone over Libya.

As @BenjaminNorton reported, Achcar covertly trained a British military unit alongside fellow signatory Helen Lackner.

True leftism thegrayzone.com/2019/10/03/lef…
Besides having been a paid contractor of the UK Ministry of Defense, Gilbert Achcar has flagrantly violated the Palestinian BDS call and Lebanese boycott by publishing his book, "The Arabs and the Holocaust," with Van Leer – an Israeli publishing house. vanleer.org.il/en/publication…

Look at this ethically deprived Nation staffer openly justify @aidachavez flagrantly ripping off my reporting without credit.

I was the lone US reporter to bring Nephew's writings to light.

The Nation not only leeched my story, Chavez used the exact same Nephew quotes as me.
Not only did @aidachavez quote the same passages from Nephew's 232 page book as I did weeks ago, she copied the screenshot I used.

And the Nation's @anastasiakeeley is proud of this ripoff.

A perfect exhibit of the decayed state of "progressive" media.
Hardly anyone in US progressive circles knew of Richard Nephew or his criminal confessions before I published this last September, which was rt'ed 920+ times. Nephew was even forced to respond to it.

This formed the whole basis for @aidachavez's article.
