In Zionist Terrorism: Israel's National Security Minister Ben-Gvir humiliates detained flotilla activists on camera

https://kolektiva.media/w/siNbs3vBQGfjYJ2C5NsyBu

Adalah's (the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel) lawyers have begun providing legal assistance to the detained activists and are demanding their unconditional release.

[...[ "Following the illegal interception of the flotilla in international waters and the illegal abduction of over 400 activists from around the world, Israel is adopting a policy of abuse and humiliation against activists who oppose its ongoing crimes against the Palestinian people. These events come after Adalah has documented numerous past cases of violent treatment toward activists in previous flotillas, for which Israel has borne no responsibility."

[...] "Our lawyers, together with a dedicated volunteer team, entered the port facilities in recent hours, providing them with legal counsel, and will continue to demand their immediate and unconditional release. The international community must take urgent steps to protect the flotilla members from this brutal and illegal conduct by Israeli authorities."

RT: @NathanJRobinson Most journalists ask a question, get fed a bunch of bullshit, and then ask a different question. Some ask a follow-up, get fed more bullshit, and then give up. Mehdi is the only one who just keeps asking it over and over until he either gets an answer or someone makes him stop.

@mekkaokereke one of the core lessons of public health is that bureaucracy is _expensive_. The entire “Who should pay what!?” Exercise slows the systems down and costs a ton of money and basically all it produces is spreadsheets that cruel selfish people use to be cruel and selfish, and that crowd can’t wrap their heads around the fact that the other thing that’s great about public services being public services is that it’s cheaper.

They pay $34 for burgers. Should their fire department service be free? Opening a new fire department in one of NYC's richest neighborhoods has some of America's pettiest journalists asking silly questions in headlines again.🤡

The article acknowledges the fire department analogy, then blows past it.🤷🏿‍♂️

The solve for "Sometimes when a service like free childcare is available to all, marginalized communities get squeezed out," is "Address that racism."

It's not "Therefore waste incredible amounts of time and money trying to means test something that society should just make available to all.🤡"

The US president is literally threatening war crimes ("possibly [destroy] all desalinization plants!").

Is this not the point at which all countries interested in maintaining international rule of law should take action? If we're sanctioning Russia, why aren't we also sanctioning the US?
