The U.S. is no longer a leader on climate efforts — as other nations work on reducing emissions and decarbonizing, the Trump administration is making long-term decisions that prioritize fossil fuels. @time takes a look at how this shift creates new geopolitical dynamics.

Israeli civilians operating heavy machinery in Gaza can earn as much as $9,000 per month, TheMarker reported on Thursday.Nadav Rapaport (Middle East Eye)
#BRICS has declared the #Gaza Strip an “inseparable part of the occupied Palestinian Territory” and called for a unified Palestinian governance under the Palestinian Authority.
BRICS also called for the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and all parts of the occupied Palestinian Territory, as well as the release of all hostages and detainees held in violation of international law.
In a joint declaration, the bloc reaffirmed its support for the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and an independent State of Palestine. The statement also endorsed full Palestinian membership at the United Nations.
The member states expressed “grave concern” over #Israel’s continued military operations in Gaza and the blocking of humanitarian assistance, strongly condemning the use of #starvation as a weapon of war.
Brazil’s president says the world must act to stop what he describes as an Israeli “ #genocide” in Gaza as leaders from 10 emerging BRICS nations gathered in Rio de Janeiro.
“We cannot remain indifferent to the genocide carried out by #Israel in Gaza, the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians and the use of hunger as a weapon of war,” President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told leaders from China, India and other nations on Sunday.

Dear Ya'Quib (😆),
Remember God had said there would be enmity between the serpent's seed and the woman's seed.
If the serpent's seed (Cain) would die so soon--and the line ended--then what God had proclaimed would be would then not be.
So God marked Cain and kept him from death not for the sake of Cain, but for the sake of God keeping faithful to His own word of what would be: an enmity between the seeds.
"I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been -- every one finding me doth slay me."
What people does this sound like, btw?
This isn't just a curse on Cain himself, but on his discendants--just as covenants with Abraham or Jacob are not only with an individual--or how descendants are referred to by a forefather ("Jacob's trouble", "Esau I have hated," "David will have an everlasting kingdom," etc.).
Sincerely,
Someone on the toilet who has to go do an errand now
P.S. Rose, the Mark of the Beast was that of keeping under the approval of the church (dragon's tongue, lamb's horns)--minding in thoughts and deeds (forehead and hand)--under threat of excommunication, anathema, etc. (no longer able to sell, buy, regardless of whether a peasant or a nobleman, etc.).

@monarchist @truthbait it's astonishing to me that some people exist in this alternate reality where israel actually wants to "defeat hamas" and end the hostilities. if hamas just surrenders and returns the hostages, then israel will stop the carpet bombing and total takeover of gaza... but wait, that wouldn't be good for the greater israel project would it. so they actually don't want this and will label anyone as "hamas" to continue the genocide and the land grab
If Ham-ass simply surrenders, problem solved.

I think there’s a small exception to this. George Washington in his farewell address, warned that political parties could subvert the checks and balances of the constitution which was designed around checking and balancing individual behavior.
He made the observation that loyalties to a party priorities would render checks and balances inert.
Today’s government is a product of not only decades of effort of oil wealth, but also tech billionaires.

Today in Labor History July 11, 1947: the Exodus 1947 left France for Palestine carrying 4,500 Jewish Holocaust survivors with no legal immigration certificates for Palestine. The British boarded the ship in international waters and sent the Jews to refugee camps in Europe. Over 100,000 Jews tried to illegally immigrate to Palestine as part of Aliyah Bet. More than half of these immigrant ships were stopped by British patrols, with most of the Jews (roughly 50,000) being sent to internment camps in Cyprus, Palestine, and Mauritius. Over 1,600 of them drowned at sea and only a few thousand reached Palestine. Of the 64 vessels that sailed in the Aliya Bet, Exodus 1947 was the largest, with 4,515 passengers. Many historians believe that the ordeal of the Exodus 1947 played a major role in building international sympathy for the plight of Holocaust survivors and support for a Jewish state in Palestine.
The Jewish paramilitary group, Haganah, bought the Exodus 1947 for Aliyah Bet activities from a wrecking yard precisely because of its dilapidated and dangerous condition. They believed that the British would see the danger to its passengers and allow it through their blockade. However, the British boarded the ship anyway and a battle ensured. An American Jew was clubbed to death. Two passengers died from gunshots and several British sailors were hospitalized. And the passengers were deported. In retaliation, the militant Zionist groups Irgun and Lehi blew up Central Police HQ in Haifa on September 29, 1947. Ten people died and 54 were injured, including 33 Brits, 4 Arab policemen, an Arab woman and a 16-year-old were killed.
Leon Uris wrote about it in his 1958 novel, “Exodus.”

"In one thing you have not changed, dear friend," said Aragorn: "you still speak in riddles."
"What? In riddles?" said Gandalf. "No! For I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to; the long explanations needed by the young are wearying."
