Jewish Voice for Peace
Jewish Voice for Peace organized a nonviolent sit-in in the US
Capitol, calling for an
end
to sending arms to Israel. The protesters expected to be arrested, and they were; they did
not resist.
What a contrast their
honesty
and nonviolence makes with the magats' attack on Jan 6, 2021.

Water infrastructure trickles, Gaza
Oxfam
International's report details Israel's destruction of nearly all of Gaza's water
infrastructure, including wells, desalinators, storage, in addition to the supply Israel used
to provide. This puts everyone in Gaza in danger of death or lasting medical damage.
Let's not lose sight of
where we want to end up.

Urgent: NO to an ID law to surf web
US citizens: call on Congress to reject KOSA, the bill that purports to
"protect children" by
requiring
all adult users of social media platforms to prove their age.
To do that requires they show government ID or run nonfree software.
Both are injustices and both are dangerous.
Meanwhile, the main cause of the danger in those platforms comes from
the recommendation
engines, and
that
danger affects adults too. A real solution would protect all users without making any of
them identify perself.

Children as pawns, ISR
As retaliation for a missile attack by Hezbollah that
killed children in
Israel, Netanyahu postponed the transport of some wounded and sick Palestinian children
from Gaza.
This is, in effect, taking those children hostage.

The true Jaleel Stalling story
A SWAT team in an unmarked car started firing not-as-lethal bullets with no warning at Jaleel
Stallings, so he fired his licensed gun back at them until he figured out that they were
official thugs.
Then
he surrendered, so they beat him up and charged him with attempted murder.
For once, the justice system mostly worked: he was acquitted and one
of the thugs even pled guilty to a minor crime.
The bullshitter's campaign tells the story all wrong, displaying his contempt for the idea of truth. |

Innocent survives 17 yr prison term, UK
Andrew Malkinson, exonerated after 17 years in prison for a crime that
was committed by someone else, excoriates the UK officials who are
supposed to investigate such cases
and free those unjustly convicted.
They give the priority to protecting the reputation of the courts.
That
happens
in the
US, too.

Somehow Maduro won the presidency, VEN
Many accuse Maduro of
miscounting
the votes in Venezuela's election.
The article does wrong by lumping Maduro's
repressive
rule with Chavez's
reforms with
popular support, which it does implicitly by lumping them together as "25 years of chavista
rule." Maduro gives only lip service to Chávez.
