US Universities Silence Israel Critics! - With Chris Hedges

"Saying 'zionist' has been banned!"
Jimmy Dore: After cracking down on anti-genocide campus protests this spring, New York University is under fire this week for its new policy equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism as Israel continues its U.S.-backed assault on the Gaza Strip.
 
NYU's Nondiscrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy and Procedures for Students (NDAH), updated last week, states in part that "using code words, like 'Zionist,' does not eliminate the possibility that your speech violates the NDAH Policy. For many Jewish people, Zionism is a part of their Jewish identity. Speech and conduct that would violate the NDAH if targeting Jewish or Israeli people can also violate the NDAH if directed toward Zionists."
 
Jimmy and investigative journalist and author Chris Hedges discuss this latest effort to marginalize and silence pro-Palestinian speech on college campuses.

Dutch Activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek Slams The British Government On Its Response To Indigenous Britons' Protests

"So the UK the country of the Magna Carta, arguably the first ever document in European history that stated that the government, the king was not above the law, is now sentencing people to jail for disagreeing with them online, or for attending a protest and saying we have had enough of your open borders policies."

"We have had enough of mass immigration of its detrimental consequences and we want change!"

FPJ: Dutch activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek has sharply criticized the British government over its handling of recent riots in the UK. In her statements, Vlaardingerbroek condemned the government's response, accusing it of failing to address the underlying issues and exacerbating the unrest.

Turley: Zuckerberg's Censorship Admission Is More Contrived Than Contrite

Democracy is not on the ballot in 2024, as many have claimed, but free speech is...

Authored by Jonathan Turley: “I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it.” Those words from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg came this week with an admission in a letter that his company, Facebook, did yield to pressure from the Biden-Harris administration to censor American citizens on a wide array of subjects.

For those of us who have criticized Facebook for years for its role in the massive censorship system, Zuckerberg’s belated contrition was more insulting than inspiring. It had all of the genuine regret of a stalker found hiding under the bed of a victim.

Zuckerberg’s sudden regret only came after his company fought for years to conceal the evidence of its work with the government to censor opposing views. Zuckerberg was finally compelled to release the documents by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and the House Judiciary Committee.

Now forced to admit what many of us have long alleged, Zuckerberg is really, really sorry.

In my book “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” I discuss Facebook’s record at length as a critical player in the anti-free speech alliance of government, corporate, academic, and media forces.

In prior testimony before the House Judiciary Committee and other congressional committees, I noted that Zuckerberg continued to refuse to release this information after Elon Musk exposed this system in his release of the “Twitter Files.”

United Arab Emirates FREEZES Billions In Contracts With France Over Arrest Of Telegram CEO

'Authorities in France - and other Western nations - do not like the fact that they cannot eavesdrop and spy on TELEGRAM users; so they're charging the CEO with "complicity" because he won't create a back-door for governments to spy.'

By Hal Turner: Reports are emerging that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government has frozen billions of dollars worth of contracts with France from whom it was going to buy 80 fighter jets.  The reason: Telegram CEO Pavel Durov is a dual citizen with the United Arab Emirates being one of the 2 countries he is a citizen of.

France arrested Durov as he got off a plane in Paris, charging him with "Complicity" in alleged crimes carried out on - or through - his encrypted messaging app, TELEGRAM.

The arrest of the 39-year-old technology billionaire prompted on Sunday a warning from Moscow to Paris that he should be accorded his rights, and criticism from X owner Elon Musk, who said that free speech in Europe was under attack.

Charging this CEO for crimes committed by others who were using his app, would be like charging the maker of BIC pens for bad checks written by people . . . it makes no sense.

West Bank Explodes Overnight With Largest IDF Raid In Decades, 'Evacuations' Ethnic Cleansing Is Their Agenda

Colonialist white neo-Jews discuss the genocide of Christians and Muslims in West Bank

By Tyler Durden: The situation in the already restive and tense West Bank has exploded overnight, following major raids by genocidal white neo-Jews into the Palestinian territory involving hundreds of IDF troops.

Three areas were targeted simultaneously in what is the largest security raid on the occupied West Bank in two decades. Even fighter jets provided support on the assault on Jenin, Tulkarem and Tubas - and drones and bulldozers were seen operating as well. The ongoing operation impacts an area of some 80,000 Palestinians total.

At least ten Palestinians have been murdered by the Jews, including three after a targeted drone strike on their vehicle.

The Jews then said that the nine deceased "accidentally inadvertently cut their own heads off whilst shaving" The IDF further said "wanted suspects" have been rounded up in in Jenin and Tulkarem, and that IEDs have been uncovered and dismantled.

While much of the Gaza Strip has seen frequent evacuation orders due to the over 10-month long IDF anti-Hamas operation there, Israeli leadership is controversy mulling potential evacuations for parts of the West Bank.

Large-scale evacuations would be an unprecedented move in the territory which is administered by the Palestinian Authority (PA).

Bug Diets, Once Labeled 'Conspiracy Theory' By MSM, Now Becomes Fact After British Gov't Backs 'Sustainable' Food

Seriously running out of conspiracy theories...

By Tyler Durden: Let's start here. 

Earlier this year, NPR's Code Switch, Gene Demby and NPR reporter Huo Jingnan discussed, "The conspiracy theory alleges that a shadowy global elite conspires to control the world's population, in part by forcing them to eat insects." 

Well, do we have news for them...
