In Australian tour, US journalist Chris Hedges denounces media complicity in Gaza genocide
The corporate media’s coverage, Hedges said, “legitimises mass slaughter. It refuses to hold Israel to account. It betrays Palestinian journalists, those reporting and being killed in Gaza.”

If NZ had meaningful working class people representation there would be discussions about how much the pension should be increased by, not the public being conditioned into accepting the lie that the age of eligibility needs to increase or means testing of all evils must be accepted.

Anti-vaccine sentiment and COVID denialism have become solid recruitment tools for fascists in the U.S. It helped radicalize people and arguably contributed to Donald Trump’s reelection. For years, there has been an anti-vax effort to expand abroad—to put similar far-right ideologues in power.

Right to protest under ‘sustained attack’ across the west, report finds
Counter-terror laws being ‘weaponised’ against pro-Palestine groups in UK, US, France and Germany, says FIDH The right to protest has come under “sustained attack” across the west , according to a report highlighting the growing criminalisation of pro-Palestinian demonstrations. The study by the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) pays particular attention to the UK, the US, France and Germany, where it says governments have “weaponised” counter-terrorism legislation as well as the fight against antisemitism to suppress dissent and support for Palestinian rights in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Israel is currently not allowed to murder journalists with bombs so it seems the gangs they armed to rob aid convoys are taking care of this too. Much like how five car bombs just happened to go off in Tehran on June 15th during the 12 Day War.
