France: Remembering “Nahel” – Masses Take to the Streets in Protest to Police Killing of Non-White Teenager! (4.7.2023)

Nahel, who was also close to his maternal grandmother, earned money as a delivery man, according to the family’s lawyer.

He was also enrolled in a programme designed to help with the integration of young people from troubled neighbourhoods through sports, in his case rugby.

Nahel had no criminal record. The Nanterre prosecutor said there had been incidents of refusing to stop for police checks. He had been summoned to appear before a court for minors in September.

On Tuesday, police said he had caught their attention because of reckless driving.

Nahel had dropped out from school but was “no big-time bandit,” said Jeff Puech, president of the Ovale Citoyen where Nahel was enrolled.

Contextualising ‘On the Jewish Question’ By Karl Marx! (2.7.2023) 

Questioning the mythology of religion is an important and vital aspect of ‘freedom of thought’ and does not constitute an ‘attack’ upon religiosity.

Perhaps there is something of the love and light euphoria of those times – which emanates from the pen of Marx!

“Three years after the eruption of protests following the death of George Floyd, Lowery isn’t convinced that America is any better prepared to deal with whitelash as a political force, let alone a cultural one — particularly as we head into a sharply contentious presidential election,” the report noted.

“People have talked for years about civil war,” Lowery was quoted as saying. “We don’t have something as embedded as slavery anymore, but we’re going in diametrically opposed positions; we’re ripping ourselves apart from each other.”

“I certainly think that’s true. It’s a soft civil war. One of our historical blind spots is thinking multiracial democracy — what America should be — is a settled question. Many people are not sure of that,” added the reporter.

Israel Launches Large-Scale Military Strike on Northern West Bank! (4.7.2023)

The Palestinian side on Sunday slammed Netanyahu for his policy of motivating Israeli Settlers to commit more crimes against the Palestinians.

“Netanyahu’s boast of killing large numbers of Palestinians since the formation of his government motivates settlers to commit more of their crimes against our people,” said the Palestinian Foreign Ministry in a statement.

Since January, 24 people, most of them Israelis, have been killed in a series of attacks carried out by Palestinians, and more than 175 Palestinians, including children and women, were killed by Israeli Aggressors and Settlers, according to official figures.
