Ultimately dna has zero basis for the claim of land and power. Colonialism is colonialism and nothing that happened 2,000 years ago changes that.

Jews have always existed in the holy land. Also Muslims and Christians, who are the same original inhabitants who converted over generations. It’s why Zionism and any conception of an ethnostate especially when based on the false claim of a unique indigenous origin is wholly wrong.

MIT’s reply to Trumps shocking attack on education is a master class in deft rhetorical communication and positioning. It refutes without ceding ground. It negates without naming the charge. It accuses and rejects while sounding compliant. What a breath of fresh air after endless disappointments

MIT rejects "compact" proposed by the Trump administration.
MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."

You’re the one who started the native to Israel line of argument which has no basis in international law anyway. Don’t change your tune because you lost your own argument in support of colonialism.

ICE isn't supposed to detain pregnant women except in extenuating circumstances, but our reporting found that the Trump administration appears to be detaining pregnant women at alarming rates in deplorable conditions.

Tensions between Venezuela and America soared following the attack, but Machado insisted to The Sunday Times that Trump was right to bomb the boat.
"I totally support his strategy," Machado said.
"And I've said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It's courageous. It's visionary”

I really appreciate the brevity of this letter and its focus on MIT's values. Kornbluth doesn't fall into the trap of rehashing all the points in the so-called compact, but instead summarizes them as "principles with which we disagree."

Palestinians are genetically closer to the inhabitants of 2000 years ago than the average Israeli. Their blood line is more indigenous than millions of European colonizers. This is literally science.

Activist Okey Vitalis Nnorom who joined the Omar AlMokhtar Flotilla remains in detention, despite earlier false reports claiming he was handed over to the Nigerian embassy in Jordan. The occupation authorities deliberately obfuscated information and misled lawyers about the detainees’ status.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Yep. Adding to this that governments change, so who gets that data next?Of it’s the party that wants to remove a lot of immigrants (whatever their definition of it is), that suddenly have a lot of information to start with, all nicely prepared for them.
