Thank you Amy for prioritizing what is important in the news. War, peace, injustice, climate, the environment, political corruption. ❤
I feel like agreeing with you but then in Africa that priority reads: political corruption, ... oh, wait, that's it. Nothing else. The scale of political corruption here eclipses all other.
How about Sudan, Congo, many others?@@brandonleroux6059
@@brandonleroux6059 You are right. The powers around the world showed African leaders how to fill their own covers by exploiting the African people who were largely under educated. It is the most treacherous of crimes. If any of the African civilians who work in the diamond and other gemstone mines knew the value of what they are digging up, they would have conceived a method to save some back for themselves personally and much more of it for the good of their countries. Instead, the world has turned so many African nations into dependent states and so many so sadly war torn. At this juncture in history, even if civilians were to wake up and smell the coffee and set things straight for themselves [though knowing which leaders to choose is fraught w more propaganda and corruption] they will never in a million years be able to recover the loss of the vast wealth of resources they once had and that is so very, very tragic and sad. godspeed to you.

Biden said the Israeli response is "A LITTLE OVER THE TOP" ......OMG !
He does what he's told,Georgie 🤔🤫
Truly embarrassing.
Yeah ,right.....Just a little.😒
Biden has dementia apparently along with his team. Gaza is part of the evidence
Biden's remark, sadly & tragically is pretty much a dictionary definition of an 'extreme understatement.' It's not a good sign for the Palestinians that this is the so-called "Tough Talk" coming from Washington DC as the death toll in Gaza rapidly approaches (30,000.) If Trump manages to win back the White House, the argument could be made that the current administration's unwavering support of Netanyahu & the Israeli government would be the primary reason. 🇺🇸 🤬
we live in more and more of a dystopian nightmare as history progresses
Patriots or how ever they're program, aren't free at all.
Joe, have you ever read The Machine Stops, by E.M. Forster? It was published in 1905. Every human is existing in his or own small pod, in a complex under the earth. They communicate by screens to face time with each other, their food and anything they require is delivered to them by way of The Machine: this is a giant computer who regulates the humans needs. Basically humans have become flabby, pasty bald blobs who simply live online. The Manual is issued to everyone; stating all the rules and such. Then one day, The Machine goes offline. Remember this was written 124 years ago. We pretty much do that now, don't you think? Oh, and that cartoon about the little robot... whats it? Something E? Totl rip off 😏

Navalny never stood a chance. Free Assange
If Assange does get sent to the US, he`ll be just like Navalny.
The difference between Assange and Navalny is that Assange is a journalist and not a white supremacist. Ironically it was Assange's work at wikileaks that proved that Navalny is a CIA asset. Liberals comparing this guy to Mumia are being played. Either they don't know the truth about the guy or toss their values out when it comes to Russia to fall in line with propaganda intended to justify continuing to fund that war.

" The first time the phrase “human animal” was recorded in history was by himmaliar, in The Posen speech to SS officers (6 October 1943) he literally said “we have to be savages in a chapter that will never be written when treating human animals”, even their calculating of calories was also done"- On the 7th, it is crucial to understand that there were no direct attacks on civilians, only collateral damage. Out of the 1148 total names on haaret dataset, 473 military and 675 were civilians.
Ratio of civilians to military personnel killed on the 7th was 1 . 4 : 1 - lower than any of the iTf "mowing" operations, which has a ratio of 7 : 1
According to UN OCHA data from 2008 to 2022; The collateral damage on the 7th was significantly lower than any of the ITf "mowing" operations, which had a ratio of 7:1 with 1,023 military personnel out of 6,541 total. On the 7th, with 473 military (418 were iTf military personnel, 55 belonged to the police) out of 1148 total, the ratio of civilians to military personnel was a mere 1.4:1
When including all casualties, not just deaths, the collateral damage ratio of the "mowing" operations is a staggering 162:1
From the 161,233 accumulated civilian casualties over only 14 years of "mowing" operations.
A 162 :1 ratio means that for every 162 civillians, 1 military personnel is a casualty. The 7th had a ratio of 1.4:1, more than a hundred times lower.
The 473 are - 55 soldiers, 13 privates, 59 corporals, 200 sergeants (45 of whom were sergeant majors), 48 commanders, 32 lieutenants, 5 lieutenant colonels, 6 colonels, 37 officers, 10 inspectors, 6 intendents, and 2 Lance Corp. This was a military defeat, and they are taking it out on the rest.
The reported ages of the victims are as follows:
0-4: 2 civilians
5-12: 8 civilians
13-17: 14 civilians
18-25: 132 civilians
26-40: 119 civilians
41-60: 55 civilians
61+: 40 civilians
Active duty military personnel:
18-25: 258 active duty military personnel
26-40: 60 active duty military personnel
41-60: 17 active duty military personnel

Its almost unbelievable how Z..ists totaly infiltrated the world media and suppressed information about I-P conflict. Thanks to X it is comming out now.
Yes, but it was Heinrich Himmler at the Golden Hall in Posen in 1943

Now let's talk about what The West and USA are doing to Julian Asange.
Most people have lost interest.
Let's revisit the case of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
Imagine what Assange is going through. 😮
Some would say it's unfair but that would just be dismissed as conspiracy theories. Justice is a spectrum.
i mean, much less than like a billion other people on the planet. You can compare him to Navalny, or anyone in Gaza or eastern Ukraine, and Assange has it pretty good.
Thank you Amy!
Thank you for the update on the world
Sulayman Mohamed|Says I am much saddened by Alexis Navenli..May his soul rest in peace
Please correct me if I'm incorrect, but isn't his name ALEXEI NAVALNY?
Why? The guy was an agent, he hated Russia and was more racist than Trump
We know so much about Navalny. Where he was, what he was doing, how he died. What do we know about Gonzalo Lira?
The irony is that both Navalny and Lira are far-right and terrible human beings, yet one of them (the explicit white supremacist Navalny) is being made into a martyr of convenience for liberals who still back the Ukraine war. Navalny must have loved what's going on in Gaza judging by what he said about muslims in his life.
STOP THE HATE AND ANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Animals should never be used for war
Modern day, sure. You know animals were essential in battle and war for thousands of years?
❤
Disagree. They possess skills that humans don’t have.
They shouldn't be used in law enforcement either and they definitely shouldn't be deputized. That is putting an animal in a position of superiority over a human.

Hello New England
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔Nobody is talking about how Not one Palestinian was consulted when the UN decided to form the State of Israel. Jews were there paying off the crooked politicians of UK, USA , FRANCE ect .. The European colonialize powers of USA , UK, FRANCE, ect.. decided to give their White European Brothers land of the dark skin people known as arabs in Palestine. Remember this was in 1947 when white European nations such as UK and France were still themselves colonializing African nations and India. When white south Africa apartied state was still being supported by the western powers. Nobody is talking about how Isreal was established and recognized as a State by the same western powers who themselves at the time were some of the worst burtal colonializers in history. Nobody talks about how Isreal only became a country by the military support of Western powers and the fraudulent back room deals made by the Jewish community who had loaned the western world money for wars. So people please remember that Isreal literally took over by force and colonialized Palestine land by saying it was originally there land 3000 years ago according to the Bible. Also remember that even if the bible is the word of God there is sero proof the white European jew today are the same Israelites of the bible. The white European jew you see today converted to the faith of Judaism. The bible even says to be aware of those who call themselves jews but are not jews but are of the synagogue of Satan 👿❤🎉
Great comment
@@eileenmc4746 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 first of all how the hell is a European jew offering anybody anything???? That wasn't there land to offer. How about I offer you half of your home and you can take the offer or suffer the consequences???? Guess what? You will fight me because its your home or property. My offer to you was the start of the fight even though you threw the first physical punch. Then how about after I defeat you I take even more of your property because you had the nerve to refuse my OFFER to steal half your property??? Then how about I go around telling everyone that we could have had peace many times but that you refused my offer to steal more and more land each time I OFFERED you a deal???? European jews are no different than any other European colonializer, they take land from the native people and Then offer them peace by telling them how much of their land they can have back. You notice that every country that supports Israel defunding UNWRA are all the former genocidal colonializers over the last 150+ years like Australia, France , UK, USA , BELGIUM, Canada, Germany ect. . I know your history so you can't passed that crap on to me about how arabs started a fight and was offered a State. No different than you will just accept me coming to your home and OFFERING you a home as I annex half of it for myself
Not only that, those arguments ignore that prominent Zionists were openly claiming they would have to remove the Arab population in order to make a new country. Ben-Gurion said so more than once in the 30s. What did they expect the local Arabs to do?
Bravo 💚🍉

I'm from Kazakhstan and I always watched closely for Navalny he was a genuine oppositioner and revolutionary, unbending and brutally honest he feared nothing. It is a great loss for humanity. The war in Ukraine the genocide in Gaza, the loss of this man makes me very upset
I know what you mean but he was also very racist towards Muslims and Russian minority ethnic groups

@@abigailpew8383 he wasn't, as a non Russian middle Asian man visiting Russia and knowing how it is first handedly in the very beginning of his career he was leaning to the right and advocated for immigration reform which is actually very popular among Russians. Later in life he pivoted significantly and in the latest of his streams said that immigration is a good thing and immigrants need to have rights and protection. His main platform was anti corruption, honest elections and increase in salary. By American standards Navalny would be a socialist
