"Microsoft, for example, cancelled Khan’s email address, forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail, a Swiss email provider, ICC staffers said. His bank accounts in his home country of the U.K. have been blocked."

When you mention to companies or other people the power the U.S. government has over Microsoft, you usually come across as paranoid. We need to get back control.

Donald Trump Commits ‘Idiot’ Sports Blunder In Abu Dhabi, Fans Say

The president’s apparent soccer brain fart may not be what many thought, but it still helped critics’ goal of poking fun at him.

Antidivo e anticapitalista: lunga vita alle idee di Pepe Mujica, contro la banalità dei ricordi

José Alberto Mujica Cordano è morto a 89 anni per le complicazioni di un cancro all’esofago, il 13 maggio. Parte del movimento di guerriglia uruguaiana Tupamaros, finì in carcere per dodici anni, due dei quali chiuso in un pozzo.

What Vietnam did for LBJ and Nixon, Gaza will do for Netanyahu and his successor as prime minister, probably Naftali Bennett.

Two factors ended the Vietnam War, and with it more than a century of struggle to rid the country of a colonial master: the determination of the Vietnamese and public opinion in the US.

The same two factors will lead the Palestinian people to their own state.

Israel has already lost the Gaza war. It just doesn't know it yet

As with Vietnam, two factors will end this slaughter: the determination of Palestinians to stay on their land, and mounting public outrage in the West

'Mad King' Donald Trump Torched Over 'Especially Jarring' Claim To U.S. Troops In Qatar

The president's remarks at the Al Udeid Air Base drew condemnation on social media.

^{Lee Moran (HuffPost)}

In many parts of the world, people often wonder why Israel is considered immune to global scrutiny and accountability, and why it considers itself above criticism.

More specifically, why is Israel an exception to all the rules and norms that define the international post-war liberal order?

The past two years have placed the phenomenon of Israeli exceptionalism at the front and centre of any critique of Israel and its actions.

Many people in Gaza have shared what they believed to be their final message yesterday, as Israel's siege intensified following the decision in parliament to take over the entire Gaza strip, as well as demonstrations surrounding May 15th occurring, the Nakba remembrance day.

Current numbers say that 143 people were killed by Israeli airstrikes in yesterday's attacks alone, with dozens still missing under the rubble of destroyed buildings.

The Nakba, an ethnic cleansing that launched 1947 by predecessors of the IDF, “only” violently displaced 750.000 people.

The currently ongoing Gaza genocide has already displaced over 1.900.000 people, and killed 53.000 people (lowest estimate), whilst the largest offensive has yet to start.

I wonder how many Palestinians will be murdered for daring to remember the current genocide.

The Israeli occupation authorities banned Muslim Palestinian worshippers from performing the fajr – dawn – prayer at the Ibrahimi Mosque in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron this morning, the Palestinian Information Centre reported.

Local sources said that Israeli occupation forces fired stun grenades at the worshippers and forced them to perform their prayers outside the mosque.
