Three things: 1. Hypocrisy in Western Liberalism: The West's ruling class selectively abandons principles of equality and human rights when aligning with apartheid regimes and colonialist ideologies, revealing a failure to uphold its own moral standards. 2. Selective Application of Rights: This double standard not only betrays Palestinians but also highlights the need to reassess the ethical foundations of dominant political ideologies in the West. 3. Media's Role in State Violence: Dehumanizing imagery and rhetoric desensitize the public to suffering, making it easier to justify atrocities, implicating both the ruling class and media in perpetuating violence. ~~~~~~~~ Disclaimer: The opinions and comments shared on my LinkedIn profile are solely my own and do not reflect the views of my employer, affiliated organizations, or any other organizations with which I am involved.

#Great #Read: "God, Guns, and Sedition Far-Right Terrorism in America" Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware #LibroRecomendado #WothToRead Recent years have witnessed shocking acts of terrorism from violent American far-right extremists, including the 2015 mass murder at a historic Black church in Charleston. However, I disagree with the authors who claim that the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol aligns with the book's hypothesis; it is something different. These incidents are neither novel nor unprecedented. They are the latest flashpoints in a process that has been unfolding for decades, where vast conspiracy theories and radical ideologies such as white supremacism, racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, and hostility to government converge into a deadly threat to democracy. "God, Guns, and Sedition" offers the definitive account of the rise of far-right terrorism in the United States—and how to counter it. Leading experts Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware trace the historical trajectory and assess the present-day dangers of this violent extremist movement, along with the harm it poses to U.S. national security. They combine authoritative, nuanced analysis with gripping storytelling and portraits of the leaders behind this violence and their followers. Hoffman and Ware highlight key terrorist tactics, such as the use of cutting-edge communications technology, the embrace of leaderless resistance or lone-wolf strategies, infiltration and recruitment in the military and law enforcement, and the movement’s intricate relationship with mainstream politics. An unparalleled examination of one of today’s great perils, "God, Guns, and Sedition" ends with an array of essential practical recommendations to halt the growth of violent far-right extremism and address this global terrorist threat.

CubaBrief: Diaz-Canel attempts to whitewash the dictatorship’s history of terrorism, murder, and violence in his message on the attempted assassination of former President Trump Failed Whitewash First, Miguel Diaz-Canel’s statement in response to the attempted assassination of former president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump contradicts Cuba’s contemporary reality. For the past 65 years, Havana has used violence and state terrorism against its citizens, assassinating, disappearing, attacking, and imprisoning them just for dissenting. Providing Context to the Outrage Secondly, to make such a statement on July 13th was particularly outrageous. July 13 marked 30 years since the 13 de Marzo Tugboat massacre when the forces of the government Diaz-Canel now represents utilized high-pressure hoses and three other tugboats to attack, sink, and murder 37 Cubans, 10 of which were children. Blood on Diaz-Canel’s hands Equally appalling was Diaz-Canel making the statement three years ago on July 11, 2021, Diaz-Canel when on Cuban national television and issued “the order of combat. This gave a green light for government agents to beat down and gun down Cubans who engaged in the nationwide nonviolent protests that spontaneously erupted that day. The full number of extrajudicial executions remains unknown. This is due to officials terrorizing the families of the victims into silence. Diaz-Canel, representing the Cuban dictatorship, cannot claim to be a victim of violence when the dictatorship he represents is one of the worst perpetrators.

The more I learn and read about how disastrous the resources are managed at the Department of Defense and its Armed Services branches, and how the present administration utilizes the law enforcement agencies to enforce and promote their political agendas persecuting the people who think different than the uniparty, how heroes are prosecuted for defending the innocent and criminals walk free, the more I question how much will the people take before they rise against an oppressive and authoritarian regime. There’s very little incentive for young men and women to serve the nation when their own government doesn’t honor the sacrifices of the men and women in uniform. Things need to change. America is unrecognizable.

On January 6th, 2021, all of us globally witnessed the #insurrection at the #USCapitol where #DomesticTerrorists breached the Capitol Building to attempt a #CoupDEtat which ultimately failed. There are many disturbing pictures taken of that day of the violence that caused damage to the building and loss of life to the defenders of the US Capitol. But one picture that stands out to me is the one of this domestic terrorist carrying the #ConfederateFlag which for the first time in #USHistory was near or inside the Capitol. https://lnkd.in/e24svp8f The Confederate Flag which represents #bigotry, #hate, #racism and support of #slavery amongst many other heinous things was proudly flown by the losing side of the #US #CivilWar but it never made it within six miles of the US Capitol until exactly three years ago. Having gone to High School in the state of #Arkansas which was a #ConfederateState during the Civil War, I saw the flag that represents hate everywhere and never fully understood what it represented until I studied the true history of that flag on my own. I was definitely not going to learn its history in my high school in a state that still embraced that flag and continues to. There are many people downplaying what happened three years ago and a mind boggling 1 in 4 #Americans believe that January 6th, 2021 was instigated by the #FBI. Today is a solemn day and a day we should continue to remind ourselves of how easy it is for people to follow #Demagogues. #FoodForThought and something to ponder as we enter the #PresidentialElection this year. #SaturdayThoughts

https://lnkd.in/evaN992v Einstein "A shocking example was their behavior in the Arab village of Deir Yassin. This village, off the main roads and surrounded by Jewish lands, had taken no part in the war, and had even fought off Arab bands who wanted to use the village as their base. On April 9 (THE NEW YORK TIMES), terrorist bands attacked this peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants240 men, women, and childrenand kept a few of them alive to parade as captives through the streets of Jerusalem. Most of the Jewish community was horrified at the deed, and the Jewish Agency sent a telegram of apology to King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan. But the terrorists, far from being ashamed of their act, were proud of this massacre, publicized it widely, and invited all the foreign correspondents present in the country to view the heaped corpses and the general havoc at Deir Yassin. The Deir Yassin incident exemplifies the character and actions of the Freedom Party. Within the Jewish community they have preached an admixture of ultranationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority. Like other Fascist parties they have been used to break strikes, and have themselves pressed for the destruction of free trade unions. In their stead they have proposed corporate unions on the Italian Fascist model." It could be argued it started this way, and 80 years later it continues... #israel #palestine #displacement #livingroom #colonization #terrorism #arabs #transjordania #levant

The Democrats will carry out their agenda at any cost. They are not for a second backing down. Therefore, Trump is not safe. Of course, the assassination investigation is being "stonewalled" The Dems are most likely behind it. I hope and pray I'm wrong, but I believe Trump will either be assassinated or he will be injured in a failed assassination attempt, and his family will make him drop out of the race.

A BIG MESSAGE in a few words !!

Appalling in this day and age, we have to put a stop to this! Listen wars happen, but our humanity must remain. Unless our goodness outweighs and overpowers all aspects of war we cannot reach a better future. War may be inevitable, but we can change these outcomes by the sheer force of our will as sentient beings! https://lnkd.in/g2vgUt9a
