The American Jewish group IfNotNow noticed this, and posted the article with the heading:
This is ethnic cleansing.IfNotNow are now making it clear that when they speak of opposition to "occupation", they are not just speaking about the 1967 occupation, but also the 1948 occupation. Or as they formulate it:
And this is part of what, when we demand that the Occupation end, we are talking about
This is a critical qualification. Opposition to the 1967 occupation, be it real or ostensible, has not really been that radical an issue as far as Zionism is concerned. Liberal Zionists could easily take that position and still call themselves proud Zionists. In fact, liberal Zionists have used this position to claim that they were protecting Zionism from a "demographic threat", in that controlling a large Palestinian population without rights means Apartheid (which they have warned that people will 'accuse Israel of'), whereas granting them rights means an end to Jewish State.
But calling 1948 an occupation marks a whole other kind of opposition to Israeli policy. It points to its inherently racial and racist character, also in what is considered "Israel proper", and shatters the notion that if Israel merely relinquished its 1967-occupation, it would be a normal, liberal and democratic country. In other words, lumping 1948 into opposition to occupation is saying that Israel is not a democracy, and that its core and founding ideology, Zionism, is essentially racism.

When Candice Payne heard that people would be out in the cold during Chicago's record-breaking temperatures, she impulsively charged the first 20-30 hotel rooms to her American Express card and made a post about it on social media, inspiring dozens of financial and food donations.
"It don't take much to be a blessing to someone else! It's freezing cold and deadly temperatures outside! For the people who has no where to go, no money, no food, family disowned them... need help it's not much but to get them out the cold, feed them, and provide them with warm clean clothes is a start," Candice posted on Instagram.

Comment: If the above information doesn't get one's blood pressure raised, one's ire up and one's will focused on how the TSA (and other societal controls) are squelching the life force out of humanity, little else will. Please spread the word and - as and Philip Zimbardo says at the end of the video - be the model for compassionate and constructive behavior for a world being sucked into the virus of ponerogenesis.
New York's attorney general on Wednesday said she has resolved a probe into a group of Colorado companies that once sold fake followers, "likes" and views on social media platforms, in the first U.S. settlement to deem such sales illegally deceptive.
Attorney General Letitia James said the now-defunct Devumi LLC and other companies owned by German Calas generated about $15 million of revenue from 2015 to 2017 through roughly 250,000 sales of fake endorsements and engagement for platforms such as LinkedIn, Pinterest, SoundCloud, Twitter, Vimeo and YouTube.

Family Tree DNA has tested samples for the FBI and uploaded the profiles to its database on a case-by-case basis since last fall, the company admitted in a statement to BuzzFeed. The "new development" - which the company's customers were never consulted about - "started with one case last year and morphed," according to a company spokesperson.
While it has only cooperated with law enforcement on 10 cases so far, Family Tree appears to be quite proud of the relationship, boasting that founder Bennett Greenspan "had inadvertently created a platform that, nearly two decades later, would help law enforcement agencies solve violent crimes faster than ever."
Comment: This is likely just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. With the NSA's monolithic data processing center in Utah, among other facilities, it is likely they already have information enough information on every man woman and child in the US to make even the most authoritarian follower squirm, never mind what the FBI is now doing.

The attack occurred in the city of Nik Shahr in the southeastern part of the country, military officials said. The members of a "terrorist group" targeted servicemen on a base belonging to the 'Mobilization Resistance Force', known as Basij, one of the wings of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The base "came under... fire this morning and several from the Revolutionary Guards communications personnel who were wiring the base were hit," Mohammad Hadi Marashi, deputy governor for security affairs, stated.
One serviceman was killed and five wounded. Photos showing the aftermath of the incident were published by the Iranian media on Twitter. The images show the blood-stained ground with military caps lying nearby, as well as empty carriages.
