History of Big Media domination
Ralph Nader describes the media landscape of the 60s, which permitted
mass mobilization for progressive causes, and how it has changed
such that the
right-wing
rich now dominate it.

Five Countries sanction ISR ministers
Australia has joined UK, Canada, New Zealand and Norway in putting
sanctions on the two most hateful Israeli ministers,
Ben-Gvir
and Smotrich.
*The sanctions make it an offense to make assets available to a
sanctioned person, require the freezing of any assets in Australia, and
prevent them from entering Australia.*
Better late than never, but I expect that making Israel stop its war crimes
will require wider and stronger action than this.

ISR arms clans against Palestinians
*Netanyahu defends arming Palestinian clans accused of
ties with jihadist
groups.*
Arming and supporting Palestinian groups opposed to HAMAS is not
necessarily a bad thing to do. Depending on what those groups stand
for, it could be bad, or it could be good.
It seems that Netanyahu has chosen religious fanatics who could
be like HAMAS only worse.

A few blocks vs 500 sq mi, Los Angeles
Lauren Weinstein, who lives in LA, posted this:
TRUMP AND THE REST OF THE FASCISTS ARE LYING TO YOU ABOUT L.A.
Despite the fake images, fake reports, fake statements, and the rest
of the fascist tactics, what protests there have been in L.A. over the
last few days were entirely limited to a few blocks downtown. Bullsh*t
from would-be dictator Trump that L.A. would be burning to the ground
now if not for his National Guard deployment is nonsense, and they
were sleeping on concrete because Trump didn't provide proper
resources for them.
Los Angeles is gigantic, 500 square miles in size. Outside of that
tiny area downtown where the situation calmed down dramatically even
before Trump started his fascist vomit-fest, the rest of the city is
operating completely normally and you wouldn't even know anything
unusual was going on here.
It's Trump's and his sycophants BIG LIES to push his fascist agenda of
arresting children and housewives rather than the "criminals" he
promised would be his deportation focus. DON'T BE FOOLED.

Greta Thunberg development: kidnappings
Greta Thunberg accuses Israel of kidnapping the people
on
the activist boat that was bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza. The
attackers forcibly brought the activists to Israel, where they are now
(ironically) being "deported", but they never intended to go there.
Earlier this year Israeli
naval
forces attacked an aid boat and damaged it seriously.

Gaza aid boat attacked by ISR
On
June 8-9,
Israel attacked the Madleen, a ship bringing humanitarian aid to
Gaza, operated by the Hind Rajab Foundation. The foundation has
formally filed a war crimes complaint about this attack,
*Eyewitnesses report that passengers were physically assaulted,
exposed to choking white substances sprayed from drones, and denied
communication with the outside world.*
The ship and its personnel did not try to commit any violence or any
damage against Israel, so there is no possible excuse for the violence
that Israel committed against the ship and its personnel.
Israel attacked vessels carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza several
years ago.
