A Nobel Peace Prize win for the Latin Antifa 👌

I think this endorsement probably secured it for her…

A post on Truth Social by Trunp which reads:

Venezuelan democracy activist Maria Corina Machado and President-elect Gonzalez are peacefully expressing the voices and the WILL of the Venezuelan people with hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating against the regime. The great Venezuelan American community in the United States overwhelmingly support a free Venezuela, and strongly supported me.
These freedom fighters should not be harmed, and MUST stay SAFE and ALIVE!

NEW: Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela.

What’s the chance the madman announces his own peace prize now?

The “Donald J Trump Peace Prize” incoming…

Nice work Jim Watson, nice work.

If you had written this as a fake news headline a year ago, you would be called hysterical.

Reuters today. Fascism.

Israelis are hostages. But Palestinians are prisoners.

Language matters. But, two years on, apparently it still doesn’t to many mainstream media outlets.

What a failure it has been.

A news alert text from Sky News. It says:
Lists of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners to be released under swap deal have been exchanged, Hamas says.

Palestine Action has been proscribed a terrorist organisation by UK Government after military aircraft were vandalised.

Now, if anyone holds a sign up saying they support PA, they are arrested & charged with terrorism offences.

One of the most insane episodes in British legal & political history.

The front cover headline is “Sign of the Times” and is a picture of the protest placard which says “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

This new flotilla left Hatay port in Turkey, which is around 300 nautical miles to Gaza. That means a journey of 20-30 hours to reach Gaza.

It feels highly likely that this is more a show of solidarity than a realistic plan to travel that distance. But, we will see.

BREAKING: 45 civilian boats have just set sail from Turkey bound for Gaza.

It comes as a direct response to Israel’s illegal interception and abduction of the Global Sumud Flotilla and its 500 passengers.

Remarkable.
