Muchos dirigentes europeos que ahora condenan las violaciones de derechos humanos en Irán (con razón), ¿dónde han estado durante más de dos años de masivas violaciones de derechos humanos en Gaza por parte de Israel?

Su hipocresía y cobardía llevan a Europa hacia la irrelevancia.

This is a complicated question.

I’m going to talk a little bit about my family, which I think is pretty representative of a standard middle class Iranian family, thus none of these details are really unique or identifying.
the really really inorganic inflation of Reza Pahlavi Junior's image on the Western internet, despite no evidence he actually has any popularity among actual Iranians, makes me shudder as I imagine debates in 1989 between Very Smart Westerners as to whether Poland will reinstate Sanacja now

"Why do the Israelis hurt olive trees?"

There's nothing remotely 'complex' about the Palestine/Israel situation. It's straight-up colonialism, land theft, ethnic cleansing, and now genocide of the indigenous inhabitants: the Palestinians.

This powerfully written piece captures the essence.
"An elder is someone who is older than olive trees" is about asking why does the Israeli state harm olive trees, and reflecting on how I came to loathe state borders as someone who grew up in Lebanon to a Palestinian grandfather -- plus my love of trains.

Can’t have humanitarian aid groups that tell the truth, deliver aid, save lives, and don’t randomly massacre people trying to access aid.
Israel says it will suspend several humanitarian groups, including Doctors Without Borders, in 2026 for failing its new vetting rules for groups working in Gaza. Some international organizations have said that Israel’s rules are arbitrary and could endanger staff.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

El lobby sionista consigue que Francesca Albanesa sea excluida de la Universidad de Georgetown. Israel intenta ocultar el genocidio y acallar a quienes lo documentan.
Georgetown University has severed all ties with Francesca Albanese, the UN reporter on Palestine, following sanctions from the Trump administration and her long-standing “persona non grata” status in Israel.

Pues resulta que los USA han sancionado a representantes de la UE, como si sancionaran a ministros de Irán o Venezuela, sólo porque exigieron el control del discurso del odio a Elon Musk en X; y la respuesta de la UE ha sido colgar en X su clara repulsa a estas sanciones.

The entire history of Crusader-backed Zionism is based on the idea that the feelings of Jews and Westerners are more important than the lives, rights and property of Arabs and Muslims. Zionist Jews feel that Palestine belongs to them, so the Palestinian ownership and presence must be cancelled.

Israel is of course exploiting the antisemitic attack in Australia, conflating once more Israel and Jews worldwide - perhaps the attackers did it too. However, any minimally well-read person should be able to distinguish between a genocidal apartheid state and a racist crime against an ethnic group.

Ayer, nuestra sede de UNRWA en Jerusalén Este fue atacada por Israel: entraron por la fuerza, cortaron comunicaciones y reemplazaron la bandera de la Naciones Unidas. Otro golpe para millones de palestinos. Que esto no pase desapercibido. Apoya a UNRWA.
