= Trump’s son Eric has provoked confusion and anger online from critics with comments on Tuesday painting his father’s movement as responsible for saving Christianity and religion in general, while claiming a divine hand led his father back to the White House.

Definitely his father's son.

I recall that most Aussies knew Brexit would be disastrous yet the very people it would harm the most wanted it. Same with Trump's election - both - it was evident he would be an open wound bleeding on the rest of the world. Being once removed is an advantage.

Palestinian photo journalist Shadi Abu Sido was seized by the IDF at a hospital & subsequently detained. He was beaten & tortured & they told him his family had been killed.

A civilian detained indefinitely without evidence, charge or trial. But not a hostage eh Lucy Williamson?

Why medicos?

Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, a hospital director who became the face of the struggle to treat patients under siege in Gaza, remains in Israeli detention despite a recent ceasefire deal that saw dozens of other medical personnel freed.
Over 100 medical professionals are still held.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

While I generally agree with the Marxist approach, there have been successful annoying and obstructive protests. The anti-apartheid and Vietnam protests were highly successful to name two.

Sussan Ley, punching down on Victoria is ludicrous.

Posts from those living through starvation in Gaza, showed produce with dollar price tags, at extortionate prices

Such Israeli tactics serve 2 purposes...

Creates tension & divides population into starving & just surviving…

It also squeezes every last ounce of wealth from those imprisoned there!!

“Bowen, of course, carefully ignores the part Israel played in arming these criminal clans and letting them steal food aid. The clans then sold that aid at inflated prices to a small group who could still afford to pay, while everyone else starved.”

Once again, Jeremy Bowen is misleading the British public about Gaza

The BBC international editor is required to report what Hamas actually thinks. Otherwise he is not a journalist, he's just another western propagandist
