Although the US-controlled Western internet is banned in China – some Chinese people still manage to access it – or they encounter it whilst travelling to the West. The point for the US is to uproot the collectivity of Chinese culture and Chinese Socialism – and replace it with a capitalistic (bourgeoise) individualism (and bring down the 1949 Revolution from within). By strengthening these laws in the PRC – any attempt by the US to access the Chinese internet hinterland has been severely dented and holed beneath the water-line. Draconian internet laws in the West ensure the continuance of predatory capitalism – whilst in China the equivalent defends and supports Socialism. Either way, an unregulated internet space is considered a danger to the smooth functioning of broader society – as one aspect is considered able to seep into the other and unduly influence it. Whatever the case, I enclose all the details for the general reader to make-up their own minds.
RTP argues that the central issue surrounding the IHRA definition is the “defence of free expression”.
A spokesperson for RTP said: “The NHS must be a place grounded in clinical evidence, ethical debate, and human dignity – not political policing.”
Israel and antisemitism
Critics have pointed out that seven of the eleven examples attached to the IHRA definition refer specifically to Israel, which yet again presents the issue of conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
A few examples from the IHRA definition include:”Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis,” or “…claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.”
The IHRA definition has also been heavily criticised by Ken Stern, the American Jewish Committee’s antisemitism expert, who led its drafting more than two decades ago.
Stern had previously urged the American Bar Association not to adopt the definition, as he claimed it has been used as “a blunt instrument to label anyone an antisemite”.
In 2017, Stern told the US Congress that there was a double standard present in the application of the IHRA definition because there are pro-Israel groups which freely deny the Palestine the right to exist as a self-determined state and Palestinian people.
If successful, the judicial review may extend well beyond the NHS, potentially affecting a range of other public institutions in the UK that have adopted the IHRA definition.
The Americans believe this is the cure for their madness: cornering China between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, forcing it to submit to its American master. A madman cannot be sane! He has overturned standards and laws, waged wars of annihilation, assassinated heads of state, and imprisoned presidents. He no longer recognizes the existence of international bodies and institutions, to the point that European leaders have spoken of their fear that America might bomb NATO countries. The equation is: control of resources is the key to control, or if you prefer, call it neo-colonialism. It’s a mad party, but it’s not inevitable.
Furthermore, the Vatican was permitted to retain ALL the advantageous it was granted by the Mussolini regime. After the war, the Pope asked Churchill to resettle 10,000 Ukrainian SS men in the UK on the grounds they were “good Catholics” – despite them raping, torturing, and murdering millions of loyal Soviet men, women, and children. This request was agreed and these Nazi Ukrainians were distributed throughout Scotland under the cover story that they were “Polish”. Andras Kun OFM appears to have been expelled from the St Franciscan (monastic) Order he was a member of in 1943 for refusing to stop his overt totalitarian support. Andras Kun was a member of the Order of Friars Minor (OFM) – a Catholic mendicant order founded by St Francis of Assisi in 1209 – which is dedicated to living the Gospel, practicing poverty, and fraternity, often called “little brothers” (Friars Minor) for their humility. A “monk” is not a “priest” – and although the monk Andras Kun was training to be a priest – he never qualified. It seems the Vatican abandoned him whilst he was tried and executed in Hungary – a staunch Catholic country – which is once again right-wing today.
Iranian authorities said the peaceful protests had been hijacked by “vandals,” and the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Friday that security forces had detained about 3,000 people in connection with the unrest.
Amid the easing tensions, short message service in Iran was resumed on Saturday, while schools will reopen on Sunday after a one-week closure, according to Iranian media.
Also on Saturday, Lebanon’s Hezbollah voiced firm support for Iran. In a televised address on the Hezbollah-controlled al-Manar channel, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem called Iran a “stronghold of resistance” and accused the United States of seeking global domination.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement Friday night strongly condemning what it called “meddlesome” remarks by the Group of Seven nations concerning the recent unrest, urging the group to stop interfering in Iran’s internal affairs.
