The Algemeiner, a global news destination published online, serves as an independent media voice covering the Middle East, Israel and matters of Jewish interest around the world.
It was founded in 1972 by famed journalist Gershon Jacobson as Der Algemeiner Journal and was originally published in Yiddish. In 2012, Algemeiner.com was launched in English. The Algemeiner’s Publisher is Simon Jacobson, eldest son of our founder Gershon Jacobson.
Ah, I see what you mean.
Personally, I think they switched to scamming pretty early (medicine is one area where IMO “fake it till you make” doesn’t work), but never figured out a proper exit strategy for the scam.
Wasn’t Theronos more of a cut and dry scam?
Oceangate wasn’t a really scam, more like the CEO thought his shit didn’t smell and got himself killed over this.
Not at all, I think if they did the same to Merkel and Schroeder there would be massive benefits to the German public.
They should cancel their citizenship and send them to russia.
It would be a good fit.
Perfect example of performative “humanism”.
Making claims about starvation, yet too fucking lazy to make a simple web search (on a topic with extremely detailed statistics that are even often reported in mainstream business news).
See, for you the russians invading Ukraine, engaging in mass killings, rapes, castration of POWs, stealing children, sending people who speak Ukrainian to torture camps is not a big deal. You don’t consider it to be wrong.
I consider it to be wrong. When a society supports such actions (somewhere between a strong majority to an overwhelming majority as per the more conservative approach possible), ignoring that is de facto supporting their actions. Which is what you are doing.
So don’t even try to play the faux-humanism card. I am not buying it for a second.
What a childish take. Russia is major exporter of grain, blocking all food exports to russia is not “denying food to people”.
Same with medicine, you’re acting as if russia has no internal production of medicine. Blocking all exports of medicine to a group where the overwhelming majority wish you harm is very much justified.
Get the fuck out of here you tankie roach.
How can you talk about “killing normal people” when you openly support the genocide of Ukrainians and russian imperialism in Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova.
A strong majority of russians are genocidal imperialists.
An overwhelming majority are broadly supportive of imperialism (on top of the strong majority that are openly genocidal).
The vast majority of russian consider “human rights” to be polemical tool to help forward their aims of genocidal imperialism.
And please don’t bring up “They are all afraid! They actually all oppose putin!” There are well established methodologies for evaluating preference falsification (who could have thought?) and they’ve been applied to multiple research topics with respect to attitudes of russian society. The results are damning. With respect to the annexation of Crimea, which has had consistent support at around ~85% for 7-8 years of polling, preference falsification has been estimated to be a mere 1%, i.e. it is completely irrelevant.
Isn’t Rand Paul that demagogue who was lying about taking horse tranquilizer for COVID?
They are going to take him out.
In addition to recognizing Palestine, all countries should drop recognition of Israel and recognise the presence of Israelis in Palestine as being illegitimate.
The Israelis will cry about anti-semitism, but I think more and more people in the world recognize this trick and are not going to buy it.
Corbyn is a genuine committed supporter of russian genocidal imperialism!
He is the perfect example of preformative and retrograde western “leftism”.
Dark humour, but honestly I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Israeli use some variation of this.
I believe we are already seeing Israeli propganadist trying to bring up polemics about how Hamas is genocidal in order to distract people from the real genocide done by the Israelis in Gaza.
Yes, that would be smart and just move.
Both far right and centre right.
The primary enabler of Israeli crimes is the American public. Not every single person of course, from my time living in the US, both the local far right and centre right are complicit.
Realisticly, the best way forward would be to end the recognition of the Israel colonialist regime, ban all economic, logistical and communication links and start catching and prosecuting war criminals.
But for most countries, this is not possible, since America will annihilate you economically if you take such actions.
And the responsibility for this lies with the American public. And this includes the centre right.
The Israelis are increasingly getting to the point where collective responsibility would be a justified approach to their systematic mass killings and abuse of civilians.
That’s a fair take.
Sure, that’s a more balanced article, it doesn’t deny that the Israelis are starving people in Gaza:
The article you cited implies it’s all staged and refers back Israeli government sources (which should never be trusted).
There is no recognition that starvation is happening; specifically due to the Israelis.
