December 17, 2015; Sharfadin, Iraq.
Near Snune
The road from Rabiah
Sinjar, sunrise.
Investigating the ISIS crimes against humanity, Sinjar, 2015 (don’t think I posted this ever before)
One of the mass graves found by locals we were shown at the time. The horror has not been prosecuted or fully documented to this day.

There is a profound problem with how SOME major media relate to reports about Ankara. Every time Ankara puts out propaganda about something it does, it gets picked up without some bothering to confirm basic facts or details.
Example. Propaganda about Ankara "reconciliation" with Israel...again and again spread by Ankara...with usually little or zero confirmation in Jerusalem. Usually done by Ankara to create problems for Israel not anything real behind it...and if there is, get some sources to say.
Example 2: Ankara "normalization" with Armenia depicted as Ankara doing something "for Biden"...problematic without confirmation from Armenia...and seems an anti-Armenia envoy was chosen (as Ankara tried to do by sending an anti-Israel envoy to Israel)

I am loathe to do this because I am skeptical of the many "instant experts" out there; But when people put up these charts of places like Denmark showing rising Covid cases and then mark them and say "Delta" and "Omicron"...what is this based on? What testing shows each variant?
There are lots of people apparently being tested, or cases reported...but what test do they do that shows each variant? When reports say "this variant is now dominant" or "99% of cases are Delta" or "40% are Omicron"...what is this based on?
Is it sample of cases from hospital...it's not like these home tests, right? So which test is it that media/governments/researchers rely on to determine how widespread a specific "variant" is? It seems just looking at a chart and adding "Omicron" text is easy, but unclear.

One of the largest types of antisemitism is people who constantly call on an entire minority diaspora community to do this or that regarding Israel's actions. They do this to NO OTHER community...their's no call for other minorities abroad to be responsible for some other country
This happens often, it's not like "every once in a while"...people from prestigious institutions...politicians, will make these demands of minority Jewish communities...and they never make these demands of any other community.
This kind of antisemitism is very deep...it's part of a systematic antisemitism going back many generations where people are raised to believe an entire community is responsible for either the action of one...or the action of the same community somewhere else.

I think it's amazing when you read articles at major legacy media that have a headline about something...and in the first paragraph you learn that the whole article is based on someone's Instagram post...just written up...it's not really news if that's all it is...
Also I don't think all these articles about "SNL mocked so and so" are real news stories...it's not news that a comedy show made fun of someone...if they want to have just a link saying "see funniest moments from SNL last night" ok...but two stories on the homepage about this?
I think the tendency of what were legacy media and major media to churn out these kinds of articles is part of the cannibalism that is websites...clickbait and media these days...it's just an endless cycle of articles about nothing...robots could write it

Hezbollah's goal: Bankrupt Lebanon, destroy it from within, emigration, then when there is a vacuum, fill the vacuum, take over all aspects of the state with parallel system...hollow it out, fill it in with Iran, just like was done to parts of Iraq, Syria, Yemen, etc...
The Tehran model is always the same, slowly consume everything like an anaconda...bankruptcy, environmental destruction, replace every normal thing with underground arms factories, missile trafficking, religious education and food stamps but nothing successful.
Look at Iraq with the country owing a report $4 billion or more for energy imports FROM Iran...Iran systematically dismantled Iraq, moved the industry to Iran...like the Soviets moving industry to the Urals and putting a famine on Ukraine...empty one place out, make it dependent

Question and thread:
Israeli media...as if it was fed this story...has been reporting on Ankara wanting "reconciliation"...but I haven't seen these reports in Turkish media...but maybe I didn't pay attention enough, can someone point me to ANY Turkish media sources on this?
There was this at TRT "Tel Aviv and Ankara have the opportunity to de-escalate tensions and establish dialogue after the turbulent Netanyahu era." Nov. 24, 2021, an oped.
What was the ur-text behind this? Apparently Ankara's leader was asked about Israel and didn't even mention Israel in his reply...jpost.com/international/…
