»Japan's current #constitution, which took effect in 1947, contains the famous Article 9, under which the country renounces war as a sovereign right of the nation & the threat or use of force as a means of settling international disputes. The article also stipulates that Japan will not maintain war potential, leading the constitution to be widely known as the "pacifist constitution."«

I just got informed by a couple of amigos about an anti-war protest in Tamaki Makaurau on April 11. The only place I could find info on the web is FarceBook (at least I can see it without logging in);

I tried DDG, Brave Search, Mojeek, nada. It took a StartPage search of the Goggle Search index to find that FB page. This is ludicrous folks.

Let's get all this into the social web?

"For decades, American Jews were assumed to be uncritical supporters of #Israel. But Israel’s war in #Gaza transformed Jewish politics in the US and irrevocably undermined the legitimacy of institutions that sustain Zionism."

„Will a jury (…) care enough about the genocide in Gaza to acquit 4 protesters arrested for #nonviolentcivilresistance? Will it matter once they’ve seen “Bringing Gaza Home?” That’s the question 8 jurors will decide (…) when they hear from 4 activists arrested October 3 for blocking the entrance to the local office of U.S. Senator John Husted.“
