🚨 THE KUSHNER PIPELINE: FROM GULF MONARCHS TO ISRAELI APARTHEID PROFITS 

➤ Jared Kushner’s private equity firm Affinity Partners is propped up by billions from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. Gulf monarchies with blood-soaked records of repression and war.

Praise for Julie - 'I am usually not one to choose the highest scores across the board, but I was really impressed by the tutor, the diverse examples, the exercises and the 'spirit' and depth of our discussions.'

Greta Thunberg “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.”

Stand with Greta, stand with humanity.

An Israeli soldier testifies UNDER OATH that October 7th was a FALSE FLAG, and that he was ordered to STAND DOWN from 5:20am to 9am the day of the attack.

You could face up to 5 years in prison for sharing this video in Israel.

Dear @kajakallas.bsky.social a chara

We all welcome a ceasefire & an end to the manmade suffering for Palestinians & Israelis.

What is the EU doing to help protect civilians, healthcare workers, hospitals & Palestinian culture from the slaughter & devastation?

Kind Regards, Le meas.

— Greta Thunberg, a brave woman, is only 22 years old

— She was humiliated and wrapped in an Israeli flag and exhibited like a trophy

— They took every opportunity to humiliate, any of us.

— I had the feeling of being in a really barbaric place
