Polish truckers, joined by farmers, have blockaded yet another border crossing in protest against what they call a flood of cheaper Ukrainian carriers into the country.

Since early this month, Polish truckers have expressed strong dissent against the entry of "a flood" of much cheaper Ukrainian carriers into the European Union under an EU deal inked earlier.

Polish truckers say that they halt commercial traffic until Warsaw and decision-makers in Brussels restore limits on transport operations for Ukrainian carriers that used to be in place before Russia waged a war on the ex-Soviet republic in February last year.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams blames Biden for city's budget woes: 'Yell at DC'

New York City Mayor Eric Adams
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is blaming the federal government for billions that were slashed from the city's budget last week to deal with its immigrant crisis.

Adams claimed that the lack of federal funding made the crisis unfair to both immigrants and the city because it forced each city agency to reduce its budget by 5% in November. Another 5% reduction is expected in January if the Biden administration does not provide any funding.

During a town hall in Brooklyn, Adams said:
"D.C. has abandoned us, and they need to be paying their cost to this national problem. This is unfair what we're doing to migrant asylum-seekers, and it's unfair what we're doing to everyday taxpayers."
New York City has witnessed more than 125,000 asylum-seekers enter its care since the spring of last year, which has put a major drain on city resources. In order to respond to the influx, the city diverted $2.1 billion from the city's education budget, $1.4 billion from the Department of Social Services, and $800 million from Homeless Services. It also forced the city to shrink its police force by 4,000 officers and cancel the next five police academy classes.

Comment: Adams doesn't stand a fighting chance.

Former State Department official Stuart Seldowitz harassing a Muslim food vendor
Prior to going viral after footage emerged showing ex-State Department official Stuart Seldowitz spewing Islamophobic slurs at a Halal food cart operator, he spent his spare time harassing female Russian diplomats and an ambassador's pet dog, the Grayzone has learned.

The viral footage of Stuart Seldowitz berating a Halal food cart operator with Islamophobic diatribes and calls for the death of more Palestinian children has laid bare the link between extremism and American foreign policy.

Seldowitz, a former national security advisor in the Obama White House and number two at the State Department on Israel-Palestine Affairs, was caught in the streets of New York spewing naked bigotry about Arabs and Muslims raping their daughters.

Comment: Pathological persistence:


Authorities have since caught up to this vile man:

Cartoon falls to cancel culture: In perilous times, free speech attacks are no laughing matter

In silencing Michael Ramirez's voice, The Washington Post is giving power to those who disagree with his point of view: That Hamas terrorists intentionally put Palestinian civilians at risk.

It's taken only about a month for many Americans seemingly to forget who instigated the war between Israel and Hamas.

On Oct. 7, Hamas terrorists descended on Israel, slaughtering hundreds of innocent civilians, including at least 31 U.S. citizens. More than 1,200 Israelis were killed, and over 240, including children, are still being held hostage in Gaza.

Israelis have a right to defend themselves against terrorists who have said that they won't stop until Israel is wiped off the face of the earth.

There also have been many Palestinian civilian casualties. An estimated 11,000 have died.


Comment: Nice of Jacques to give the appalling Palestinian death toll a mention. Notice the passive "have died". Israelis are "killed" but somehow Palestinians just happen to "die". A standard MSM tactic of minimization.


Comment: So, the Zionists can and will complain about the slightest whiff of insult (and sic the ADL on you to ruin your life with lawfare and worse), but the Muslim world must take whatever the cretins in the West dish out. And to be seen as qiving quarter is to be abridging "free speech". Got it.

Dublin stabbing horror: Police rule out terrorism as witness reveals 'one kid fell to the ground, then another, then another' as five people including a woman are wounded when 'knifeman attacks group of young children'
Police have ruled out terrorism as witnesses revealed that three children 'fell to the ground' one after the other as five people were wounded when a knifeman launched an attack in Dublin today.

Irish police confirmed a total of five people were injured following the 'major security' incident which occurred shortly after 1.30pm on Parnell Square.

One of the three children, a girl, and a woman in her 30s suffered 'serious' injuries, and a man in his 50s and two other children were also among the injured, police said. All five were taken to hospital.

Comment: Violent attacks by migrants have been on the rise in recent years, and these attacks are occurring alongside the worst plunge in living standards in recent times, and so public anger against government-sanctioned weaponised mass migration is, understandably, rising:

Enough!

I need to say this, because I don't know what else to do. The only thing I have is my voice, my words, and I don't want to live through this time in history feeling I did nothing, even though I know it's so little.

When I watch image after image, video after video of the complete and utter destruction in the tiny strip of Gaza, when I see the injured, the maimed, the dead bodies of men, women and children, when I watch the wordless and screaming pain of these humans who have to dig through rubble to find their loved ones or what remains of them, who take their little belongings and their children on their backs to move (for a second, a third time?) somewhere safer... I feel caught in an unbearable nightmare with no end. Yet I am only a far-away witness, safe in the comfort of my home.

For them, it's all real.

Haaretz confirms Grayzone reporting it dismissed as 'conspiracy' showing Israel killed own festivalgoers

Footage shot by Israeli Apache helicopters inside Israel on October 7, 2023
Haaretz has yet to admit it jumped the gun when it dismissed The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal as a 'conspiracy theorist' for documenting crucial evidence that Israeli forces killed Israelis on October 7. But new reports by the same outlet show we were right all along.

Israeli outlet Haaretz has acknowledged a police report confirmed partygoers at a festival three miles from the Gaza border were killed by the Israeli military on October 7, just two weeks after the publication accused Grayzone editor-in-chief Max Blumenthal of spreading "conspiracy theories" for reporting on the story.

In an article published November 19, Haaretz reporter Josh Breiner wrote that an official investigation into the deaths of Nova festival attendees "revealed that an IDF combat helicopter that arrived at the scene from the Ramat David base fired at the terrorists and apparently also hit some of the revelers who were there," citing "a police source."

1,000 boats said set to leave Turkey for Gaza waters in new 'Freedom Flotilla'

FILE: Palestinians waving national flags wait aboard small boats off the port of Gaza City on May 30, 2010, to greet the so-called 'Freedom Flotilla.'
Reminiscent of infamous 2010 Mavi Marmara protest, large maritime convoy plans to remain in international waters off Ashdod and disrupt sea trade route to Israel

Approximately 1,000 boats will gather in Turkey on Wednesday before heading toward Gaza in an attempt to break the Israeli blockade and disrupt maritime trade coming into Israel during the war with Hamas, in an apparent repeat of similar attempts from over a decade ago.

In an interview with Turkish news website Haber7, Volkan Okçu, one of the organizers of the protest, indicated the boats will carry 4,500 people from 40 countries, "including anti-Zionist Jews."

Among the 1,000 vessels would be 313 boats filled with Russian activists, and 104 filled with Spanish activists, he said. Only 12 Turkish vessels will join the flotilla, he told Haber7.

However, Okçu said in a later tweet that he expected the number of Turkish vessels to be much higher, at least 1,000, and insisted that the initiative is not associated with the Turkish government. He did not explain the discrepancy in numbers.

Comment: Col. Douglas Macgregor thinks that this new flotilla is Turkish President's Erdogan's testing of the waters with the US:

Israel-Palestine war: 70 yo woman says 'we walked into the unknown, uncertain of where we were headed'

People reach the central Gaza Strip on foot, via the Salah al-Din road, on their way to southern Gaza on 5 November 2023
In one of the classrooms of a UN-run school in al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza Strip, Shafa al-Dahshan, a 70-year-old Palestinian woman, sits on a shabby mattress, exhausted and in tears, as she recounts to Middle East Eye the harrowing journey of displacement from her home in Asqoula neighbourhood, east of Gaza city. Dahshan and her family are among 1.7 million people, around three-quarters of Gaza's population, who have been forcibly displaced since Israel launched a bombing campaign on the besieged enclave on 7 October.

This is her story as told to MEE correspondent Aseel Mousa

What we have endured since the start of the war until today cannot be adequately described in words. We are experiencing true horror - dark days, the likes of which I have never lived before.

We were huddled inside our home amid continuous, violent and terrifying bombing when the Israeli military contacted me on the phone, informing me that our region is a "war zone" and that we must evacuate to the south of the Gaza Strip.

I am a disabled woman, my husband is 80 years old and we are both confined to wheelchairs.
