Ahed Tamimi - Message From A Freedom Fighter

Recently, the struggle for Palestinian human rights

gained international attention surrounding a

new icon of resistance - 16 year old Ahed Tamimi.

telesurenglish: While in the West Bank in late 2016, Abby Martin interviewed Ahed Tamimi about her hardships and aspirations living under occupation and it becomes clear why her subjugators are trying to silence her voice. Her brother Waad and father Bassem also talk about their experiences with Israeli soldiers harassing their village and targeting their family. Abby outlines the Tamimi family's tragic tale and unending bravery in the fight for justice and equality in Palestine and how the story of their village of Nabi Saleh is emblematic of the Palestinian struggle as a whole.

Why Won’t Women Who Dislike The Culture Of Their Workplaces Do What Men Do - Resign?

By Mike Buchanan: In the course of my 30-year-long business career I once found myself working in a company, and once for an individual boss, I loathed. On both occasions, I resigned. Why won’t women do the same thing? In my view, it’s partly because they’re more risk-averse than men. You have to laugh at the current claims by many female BBC presenters that they could earn more with private sector broadcasters. I invite them to resign, then see what they’re worth in the real world.
Women want the high incomes and perks that come with some lines of work, but without associated pressures. As always, women want the upside of everything, and the downside of nothing. To their minds, they shouldn’t have to adapt to pressurised work environments, those environments should adapt to their preferences.
I’ve been reflecting on this following a Law Society Gazette article sent to me by Chloe. Extracts:

The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal has criticised a firm for creating an atmosphere where a junior lawyer said she was ‘terrified’ of admitting her mistakes.
Sovani Ramona James, who worked at the time for south east firm McMillan Williams, was found to have acted dishonestly in creating and backdating letters to give the impression that a clinical negligence case was progressing.

Lawsuit Accuses Yahoo's Feminist CEO Marissa Mayer Of Discrimination Against Men

By Mike Buchanan, J4MB: The Start of the piece:

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer again finds herself at the heart of a lawsuit by a former male employee alleging that she presided over the unfair ousting of men in the office.

Scott Ard, Yahoo’s former editorial director and current editor-in-chief of the Silicon Valley Business Journal, filed a lawsuit against Mayer earlier this week in federal court in San Jose, California.

In the suit, as reported by The Mercury News, Ard alleges Mayer encouraged the use of an employee performance rating system to “accommodate management’s subjective biases and personal opinions, to the detriment of Yahoo’s male employees.”

Ard also accuses Kathy Savitt, Yahoo’s former chief marketing officer, and Megan Liberman, the current editor-in-chief of Yahoo News, of discriminating against men.

And The Golden Globe Award Goes To … Witch Hunting!

By Trévon Austin and David Walsh: This year’s Golden Globe Awards, with its unchallenged support for the #MeToo movement, was a wretched spectacle, Hollywood and identity politics at their worst. The smug crowd of millionaires, and in the case of Oprah Winfrey, a billionaire, expected viewers to believe that the “MeToo” movement constituted an epic chapter in the struggle for human liberation.The self-absorption, self-obsession and endless self-pity of these people was ridiculous, pathetic, and utterly inappropriate. Amidst all the misery in the world, including the impending deportation of 200,000 Salvadorans, the devastation produced by US militarism and aggression across the globe, the thousands of Americans dying from drug overdoses and a hundred other social atrocities, the Hollywood celebrities devoted an entire evening of prime-time television to feeling sorry for themselves.

It is no wonder that the American film industry seems incapable, except for rare exceptions, of producing decent work. Its concerns are trivial and misdirected, or worse.
The actual handing out of awards, deserved and undeserved, was overshadowed by the sexual misconduct witch-hunt and the overwhelming stamp of approval that the film and television industry gave it Sunday night.

Israel Bombing Syria To Show It's Still Relevant

There's an air of desperation to Israel's strikes now

By Patrick Cockburn: Israeli jets and ground-to-ground missile attacks on targets in the outskirts of Damascus are a mark of Israel’s heightened concern as President Bashar al-Assad comes close to winning the civil war in Syria. Israel’s security cabinet has held meetings several times in recent days to discuss how it should respond to the “day-after” the war as Syria returns to Mr Assad’s control and to Iran’s expanded influence in Syria according to Israeli television reports.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel’s policy was to stop Hezbollah moving “game-changing weapons” out of Syria into Lebanon. “We back it [the policy] up as necessary with action,” he added. Israel has carried out more than 100 air strikes against Syrian Army and Hezbollah arms depots and military facilities in the past six years.

Feminist Angelina Jolie Teams Up With Feminist NATO Chief To Push For More Fradulent Wars For "Women's Rights"

From Bosnia to Kosovo to Libya, lurid stories of violence against women is a staple of NATO propaganda.

Trouble is they always turn out to be false

By George Szamuely: In a recent Guardian article titled “Why NATO Must Defend Women’s Rights,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Soltenberg and Hollywood movie star Angelina Jolie assert that “NATO has the responsibility and opportunity to be a leading protector of women’s rights.” NATO, moreover, “can become the global military leader in how to prevent and respond to sexual violence in conflict.” The two vowed to identify “ways in which NATO can strengthen its contribution to women’s protection and participation in all aspects of conflict-prevention and resolution.”
The pairing of a NATO bureaucrat and a famous movie actress may at first glance appear odd. However, this partnership has been long in the making. Some years ago, NATO, always on the lookout for a reason to justify its continued existence, not to mention its perpetual expansion, came up with a new raison d’être: It would be the global champion of women.

North Korea: The Deafening Lame Stream Media Silence Around The Moon-Putin Plan

“In the heart of appeasement there’s the fear of rejection, and in acts of fear there are mirrors of oppression.”                 Chris Jami

By Joseph Essertier: As the world hurtles ever closer to war in Asia, there is an Alice-in-Wonderland lame-stream media narrative that has North Korea as the aggressor that must be controlled and punished at all costs. And in the face of that narrative, the deafening silence of intellectuals is starting to bear a remarkable resemblance to appeasement.
In 1938 one of the most heinous war criminals of the 20th century was planning to occupy Czechoslovakia, a country where about three million people of German origin lived. War seemed imminent as Hitler continued to make inflammatory speeches. The British prime minister Neville Chamberlain offered to go to Hitler’s retreat and discuss the situation personally. Chamberlain’s placatory efforts produced the Munich Agreement that he, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Édouard Daladier signed, handing over a large chunk of Czechoslovakia to Germany. People in Czechoslovakia felt betrayed, but Chamberlain was praised. He told the British public he had achieved “peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time.”

Relationship Aggression: Is It A Trap For Men?

Men Are Good!: Our culture focuses on men's physical aggressiveness and turns a blind eye to the aggressiveness of women. This video takes a look at women's relational aggression, how it works, how it relates to men's issues, and importantly what are its connections to feminism.

***

By Tom Golden: A gynocentric world is a dangerous place for men. The hazards are many including traps that are simply beyond the awareness of most. Relational aggression is one of those traps. Most of us are aware of the physical violence of many women and the cultures disinterest in holding women accountable but this is different. Relational aggression is more insidious due to its invisibility and the encouragement from the culture at large. Let’s have a look at this trap called relational aggression.
