very generic

The military and the monetary get together
Whenever they think it's necessary

They are turning the planet into a cemetery
The military and the monetary use the media as intermediaries
They are determined to keep the citizens secondary
They make so many decisions that are arbitrary

worse than the worst Tories

universities hollowing out their own long-standing traditions and rituals (whatever me might think of them) just to make sure no 'stakeholders' have to hear their students uttering verboten words like 'free' or 'Palestine'

'As we sat there, watching a settler prepare to dig into one of the places where my father, born in 1947, spent his childhood, I realized I had taken those hills for granted. I should know by now that nothing is safe.'

machine-learned crimes against humanity, from gaza to tehran

depraved as ever

Discussions with Board of Peace 'on hold' due to Iran war, Indonesia says Indonesia's foreign minister said talks on U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza "Board of Peace," of which the Southeast Asian nation is a key troop-contributing ​member, were on hold due to the Middle ...

shocking and entirely unforeseeable development.. the 'board of peace' is an implausible sham and imperial scam www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

big day for law on the use of force discourse and the most circular of logics:

US imperialist aggression

was actually US pre-emptive self-defence

against imminent Iranian self-defence

in response to planned Israeli aggression

which US fully supported in the first place

In Your hungering after more riches and land

You make us suspect

force us to justify our existence

the consistency in the european deflections, deceptions and prevarications is striking

amidst the military-industrial complex, the international-law-is-complex complex
