Rethinking War: Oliver Stone's Call for Truth and Courage in Media and Writing
Oliver Stone's advice to media professionals and writers: "You have the freedom to critique your government and society. There's no need to conform. It may be trendy to criticize Republicans and Trump while overlooking the actions of the Obamas and Clintons, but keep this in mind: over the past 30 years, we've initiated 13 wars, spent $14 trillion, and witnessed the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives—not due to a single leader, but because of a system that includes both Republicans and Democrats. This system, often referred to as the military-industrial, security, financial, and media complex, has thrived under the pretense that these conflicts are justifiable in the name of our flag, which proudly flies over our lives. We need not dwell on the victims, yet it's clear we've intervened in over 100 countries through invasions, regime changes, and economic turmoil. I have opposed those who perpetuate warfare for most of my life, and it can be an exhausting battle. You will likely face significant criticism and insults, as well as some praise. However, if you truly believe in your message and remain steadfast, you can effect change. Instead of seeking what the masses desire for success, focus on discovering the deeper meaning of your existence here on earth, and never waver in your pursuit of peace, integrity, and honesty." Full speech: https://lnkd.in/gQJ4SFh8. Oliver Stone, a Vietnam veteran wounded twice, drew on his experiences to create powerful films that depict the brutal realities of war. https://lnkd.in/gtt6aC4D.

Exploring Kahane: The Legacy of Extremism in Israel's History
Are you familiar with "kahane"? Here’s a fascinating look at the complex history of Israel. The term ‘Kahanist’ refers to the supporters of the late radical and racist Rabbi Meir Kahane. In the 1960s, Kahane established and led the Jewish Defence League in the United States before relocating to Israel, where he founded Kach, a racist political party that was ultimately banned. Although he was assassinated in 1990, the impact of his extreme racist beliefs has grown stronger and become more entrenched over time.

Racism in Politics: The Disturbing Normalization of Islamophobia in America
The Normalization of Racism in American Politics
👇 In a recent congressional hearing on hate crimes, Republican Senator John Neely Kennedy launched a racially charged and confrontational attack on Maya Berry, the Executive Director of the Arab American Institute, accusing her of supporting Hamas and Hezbollah. Berry was invited to provide testimony regarding the increase in hate crimes targeting Arab and Jewish Americans. During the hearing, Kennedy subjected her to persistent questioning, misrepresenting her views and disregarding her explicit condemnation of violence. When Berry sought to clarify her critique of the U.S. decision to cut funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides assistance to Palestinians, Kennedy interrupted her once more and ultimately told her, “You should hide your head in a bag.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) swiftly denounced Kennedy’s comments, accusing him of employing anti-Arab and Islamophobic stereotypes.
This incident highlights a broader and troubling trend: the normalization of Islamophobia and anti-Arab prejudice in political discourse. Rather than addressing the pressing issue of escalating hate crimes, Kennedy weaponized Berry’s Arab identity, implying that her background made her sympathetic to terrorism—a baseless and dangerous claim.
What makes this exchange particularly concerning is how it mirrors the increasing acceptance of Islamophobia in American politics. Instead of engaging with Berry’s testimony on hate crimes, Kennedy opted to attack her identity, reinforcing damaging stereotypes that associate Arabs and Muslims with terrorism. Such stereotypes have been perpetuated for years through media and political narratives, making it easy for public figures to exploit this bigotry under the guise of policy discussions.
The normalization of Islamophobia in politics is not merely an individual problem; it is a systemic one. Politicians like Senator Kennedy maintain their positions because their narratives resonate with segments of the electorate conditioned to view Arabs and Muslims with distrust and fear. This fear has been fueled by years of biased media coverage and policies that depict Arab and Muslim identities through a lens of terrorism and violence.
Allowing this rhetoric to go unchecked perpetuates a cycle of hatred that legitimizes discrimination and marginalization. When politicians wield their influence to propagate these harmful narratives without facing significant repercussions, they foster an environment where Islamophobia becomes entrenched in public discourse. This incident underscores the critical need for accountability and a reassessment of the tolerance for such rhetoric in political arenas. Only by confronting these systemic issues can we begin to dismantle the ingrained bigotry that continues to harm Arab and Muslim communities in the United States.

Hezbollah and Global Perspectives: Debunking Western Terrorism Labels and Exposing Israel's Actions

Colonial Legacy: Puerto Rico, Palestine, and the U.S. Refusal to Acknowledge Injustice
The United States invaded my homeland, Puerto Rico, and essentially declared, "You belong to us, yet you are not one of us," leading to the enactment of laws that impact us without our input. We live under U.S. authority, so the treatment of colonized and oppressed individuals worldwide resonates with me—not just as a concerned human being, but also as an indicator of how far the U.S. is willing to go. This is why the situation in Palestine is so significant to me. If you're still questioning whether the U.S. is on the right or wrong side of history, consider today's events: the U.N. passed a resolution calling for an end to Israel's occupation of Palestine, with 124 countries voting in favor and only 14 against. Naturally, the U.S. voted against it. But they didn't stop there; as reported by the Guardian, they actively lobbied to dissuade other nations from supporting the resolution. Their opposition stems from the resolution's demand that countries halt arms shipments that are responsible for Palestinian deaths. The U.S. has repeatedly rejected this notion. This is all occurring under the Biden-Harris administration, and many are uncomfortable acknowledging it. I recognize that discussions about Palestine may not be trending on social media anymore, but the lives impacted are not a passing trend. An injustice remains an injustice, regardless of whether it's convenient for you to hear. @Biancagraulau Bianca Graulau

Chomsky on Media Silence: Why Terrorism Labels Are Reserved for the "Other"
Professor Chomsky elucidates why our governments and media refrain from using the term "terrorism" to characterize the extensive terrorist assaults on Lebanon and Syria, where numerous small bombs detonated among civilians, resulting in 3,500 injuries. In essence, it is a matter of propaganda and racism. He states, “Terror is defined in legal codes as the threat or use of violence to intimidate, usually against civilians, for political, ideological, and other purposes. However, this definition cannot be applied because it would immediately imply that the United States is a leading terrorist state, as is Britain, among others. Thus, the literal definition found in U.S. law becomes inapplicable. We then turn to the doctrinal definition used in media and academia, which mirrors the official definition but includes a conditional caveat: it only pertains to actions directed against us, not those we inflict on others.”
Here are the responses from European states, which downplay the attacks:
- EU foreign affairs chief: "I condemn the recent attacks in Lebanon and support UN Human Rights Chief @Volker_Turk's call for an independent investigation." [Link]
- Belgium: "strongly condemns the massive terror attack in Lebanon and Syria" [Link] and "is deeply concerned about the increased tensions in the border area" [Link].
- Switzerland: "is greatly concerned following yesterday's explosions" [Link].
- Hungary: "PAGERS USED IN MASS DETONATIONS IN LEBANON WERE NEVER IN HUNGARY - HUNGARIAN GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN" [Link].
- France: "France expresses concern that recent security developments in Lebanon are contributing to a dangerous escalation in the region." [Link] and "In this confusion and sorrow, France stands by your side." [Link].
- Slovenia: "I condemn the series of explosions in #Lebanon and #Syria." [Link].
- Norway: "The Middle East is on the brink. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to civilians in Lebanon." [Link].
- Austria: "Recent developments in #Lebanon are deeply concerning." [Link].
- Germany: "I strongly caution all sides against further escalation in the #MiddleEast." [Link].
- Spain: "The Government of Spain condemns the electronic attacks that occurred in Lebanon on September 17 and 18, which resulted in numerous civilian casualties." [Link].
- Finland: "We strongly urge all parties to exercise restraint and avoid further escalation in the Middle East." [Link].
- The UK: "expressed deep concern over rising tensions and civilian casualties in Lebanon." [Link].
Other European nations have not yet commented on the attacks on X.

Elliott Abrams: War Criminal Testifies While Accountability Remains Elusive
How can someone like Elliott Abrams, a war criminal who has deceived Congress, supported dictators, backed death squads, and incited violence in Central America, be permitted to testify before them? This individual poses a threat to both the U.S. and the global community, yet he has been given roles in both Republican and Democratic administrations. Rather than facing consequences for his actions, he is once again granted the opportunity to shape policy. We cannot overlook the crimes committed by Abrams. It is essential that we highlight these injustices and insist on accountability now!
