The Washington Post, everyone.
Who is "us" in this headline?
War is peace, democracy dies in darkness.
You really, really need to cancel any subscriptions you have to the Washington Post.
This thread is blowing up so why not read my new @Mintpressnews article where I spoke with Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges and others about how the public perception of Israel/Palestine has changed so rapidly.

This is what happens when a whole section of your newspaper is sponsored by Bill Gates. Image
This tweet's blowing up so I'm promoting my latest article. I spoke with Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges and others to figure out why the public conversation on Israel/Palestine has changed all of a sudden.

On Bill Gates I wrote this for @MintPressNews: "The Faux Generosity of the Super-Wealthy: Why Bill Gates is a Menace to Society "

"The dam is cracking".

Why has the debate on Israel/Palestine 🇮🇱🇵🇸 changed so rapidly? I spoke with Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges, and a number of other experts to find out why.

Just a few years ago, it would have been compeltely unthinkable that a member of Congress would start a speech by saying “I rise today in solidarity with the Palestinian people.”

Something is shifting. And quickly.

Meanwhile, Andrew Yang, who repeated the "we stand with Israel" line have witnessed overnight crashes in their polling. That one single decision might have cost him the job as mayor of NYC.

On hey, look at that. Only a few hours after the ceasefire, Israeli forces are storming the Al-Aqsa Mosque AGAIN! Reports are they're firing tear gas and rubber bullets.

Worshippers flee the carnage at Al-Aqsa this afternoon. Video via @JatIkhwan

Video of armed Israeli forces storming the third holiest site in Islam, just hours after the ceasefire was agreed upon.

They have also taken prisoners.

(Thread) Israel is not just attacking Gaza; it is targeting journalists.

Here are some of the most notable attacks on the media.

Pictured is Gazan Momen Faiz Quraiqea outside his bombed out press office. (A previous 2008 Israeli airstrike blew his legs off).
2. Journalists from Andolu Agency were fleeing an airstrike in a car clearly marked TV when they themselves were targeted by an Israeli strike.
3. Israel blew up the multi-storey building home to the headquarters of Al-Jazeera and the Associated Press.

(Thread) A new poll shows the world thinks the US is the greatest threat to democracy.

But this Western NGO is aiming to "defend democracy" against China by expanding NATO into the Pacific and by taking greater control over the net at home.

My new study:
mintpressnews.com/alliance-of-de…
Even in key ally states like the UK, Israel and Canada, the public considers the US a much greater threat to democracy than Russia or China.

But the Alliance of Democracies, a US-funded NGO wants to save democracy by uniting like-minded nations.
The AoD's new conference featured such noted democrats as Venezuela's Juan Guaidó, who called for more sanctions and economic warfare against his country.

Meanwhile, war criminals like NATO boss Anders Fogh Rasmussen and Gen. HR McMaster worried that China was the real threat.

This is a call for a massacre.

Please, and I cannot stress this enough, cancel any subscription you have to the New York Times (and tell them why you did it).
Israel only targets civlian infrastructure in Gaza. This whole thing was started off by an unprovoked attack on worshippers at the third holiest mosque in Islam during Ramadan.
Lol, this is how Brett "Bedbug" Stephens describes the police attack.
