Any mention I have seen of a "power couple" is always catering to the ego of women. No man cares about power couples, because they are not looking for a woman who is chasing some high flying career.

It only seeks to validate the feminist idea that a women should be celebrated for chasing careers, and that they should be rewarded for keeping their hypergamy even when it is unnecessary. A family can be supported fully with one high flying career. Two of them just means more money than needed.

US President Donald Trump’s 50% tariffs on Brazil, which are set to go into effect on Wednesday, August 6, are “unacceptable blackmail,” says Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The Trump administration cited Brazil’s prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro as a significant reason for the proposed tariffs. In response, Lula said on X that Brazil is “a sovereign country with independent institutions and will not accept any tutelage.”

Thanks for the video. This guy has a lot more discoveries ahead of him, and he and his followers are on the right track.
I myself have spoken with people who lived under Stalin. Ordinary workers and peasants adored Stalin, the father of the people, because his rule had changed the lives of ordinary people so dramatically. But bureaucrats were afraid, especially when corruption arose somewhere.

2/ Sept membres de sa famille, qui ont été témoins de l'assassinat, sont toujours détenus. Une infirmière qui a tenté de le sauver a été expulsée, ainsi que d'autres témoins internationaux.
3/ Des dizaines de femmes d'Umm al-Khair ont entamé une grève de la faim pour demander justice.
4/ Un juge israélien a levé l'assignation à résidence de #YinonLevi, le principal suspect, affirmant que le dossier est faible et qu'il pourrait s'agir de « légitime défense ».
5/ Levi est propriétaire d'un avant-poste illégal en Cisjordanie et d'une entreprise de démolition qui travaille en collaboration avec l'armée israélienne.
6/ Au début de cette année, l'administration Trump a levé les sanctions de l'ère Biden contre Yinon #Levi, malgré sa longue histoire de violence et de harcèlement contre les Palestiniens.

----


From Kerem-navot -- Israeli NGO established in 2012, which monitors and carries out research on Israeli land policy in the #WestBank:

#YinonLevy was born in Jerusalem around 32 years ago. Odeh #Hadalin was born around 31 years ago in the small Bedouin village of Umm al-Kheir in the South Hebron Hills. Last Tuesday, Yinon Levy killed Odeh Hadalin. This was not a one-time event but the result of many systemic failures.

Yinon #Levy owns a company that operates several heavy construction machines. Odeh Hadalin was an English teacher at the school in the Bedouin village where he was born and lived his entire life. From video footage and eyewitness accounts, we can piece together what happened that day. But in this post, we want to talk about some of the decisions that ultimately led to the moment when Yinon Levy shot and killed Odeh Hadalin — most of which were made long before either of them was born.

In 1980, #Israel established a “Nachal” military outpost called Carmel. It was built on lands belonging to the Palestinian town of Yatta, in the southeastern West Bank. Near that site, several Bedouin families from the Hadalin clan had been living. These families had arrived after being expelled by Israel from the northern Negev area during and after 1948. A few years later, the Nachal military outpost became the settlement of Carmel, which is home today to around 650 settlers. In 1983, Israel confiscated about 2,200 dunams of Yatta’s lands by declaring them as State Land. These lands were handed over to the settlement of Carmel and today form its “municipal jurisdiction”.

Over time, the settlement expanded and became more extreme and violent. In the most recent elections, for instance, 86% of the votes there went to Ben Gvir and Smotrich. The rest were divided between Likud, Shas, and Ayelet Shaked (there used to be such a politician). In short, you get the idea of the type of settlement and settlers we’re talking about.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian village of Umm al-Kheir also grew — despite the army and Civil Administration’s ongoing attempts to choke the community through lack of planning, denial of basic infrastructure, repeated raids, and house demolitions. As a result, these two communities have been living just a few dozens of meters apart for decades. Nowhere else in the West Bank settlers and Palestinians live in such proximity.

Despite this close proximity, the disparity in quality of life between the two communities is unfathomable. A visit to the area — no matter which side of the fence you stand on — is the kind of sight that wounds both the eyes and the heart. Assuming you have one.

This situation is the result of deliberate policy, from which countless administrative and planning decisions have stemmed. One of them was to expropriate the lands surrounding the village of Umm al-Kheir in a way that would suffocate the village and its residents’ ability to live off agriculture and herding. And since these lands were seized and transferred to the settlers, they can now do whatever they want with them — including build something 30 meters away from the village homes. Their “right,” no?

And when settlers want to build, they hire people like Yinon Levy, who makes his living from this system. And what do people like Yinon Levy do when working near Palestinian villages? They deliberately drive their bulldozers into privately owned Palestinian land — not yet officially expropriated — in order to provoke, humiliate, and destroy. And when tensions rise, what do people like Levy do? They draw their pistols, start shooting — and sometimes kill someone who happened to be 30 meters away, someone who posed no threat.

Yinon Levy is just a contractor — a particularly violent one — whose job is to execute the policy that every Israeli government since 1967 has promoted in one form or another. That policy is called apartheid in every other part of the world. And that apartheid is gradually shifting into a policy of ethnic cleansing. That’s why Odeh Hadalin lies dead, while Yinon Levy smiles in court and now sits comfortably at home. Yinon Levy knows that if he’s punished at all, the sentence will be laughable. He knows the apartheid regime will ensure its contractors can continue rampaging — and occasionally, shooting and killing along the way.

Odeh Hathalin, qui avait tourné des images du documentaire israélo-palestinien oscarisé, a été tué par balle lundi 28 juillet. Le tireur est Yinon Levi, un colon extrémiste sous le coup de sanctions internationales. Depuis l'Oscar décerné en mars dernier, l’équipe du documentaire No Other Land, qui montre le sort des villages de bergers palestiniens de la vallée de Massafer Yatta, en Cisjordanie, sous les violences des colons et de l’armée israélienne, paie très cher ce coup de projecteur. La France a condamné ce meurtre « avec la plus grande fermeté ainsi que toutes les violences délibérées perpétrées par des colons extrémistes » affirmant que "ces violences sont des actes de terrorisme". Pourtant, ces derniers semblent bien protégés de toute accusation.
Trois semaines après l'oscar, l’un des réalisateurs, le Palestinien Hamdan Ballal, qui habite la région, est lynché par des colons puis arrêté par des soldats israéliens durant son évacuation en ambulance, avant d’être relâché 24h plus tard. L’oscar “ne m’a pas protégé de la violence”, écrira-t-il dans une tribune publiée par The New York Times.
Lundi 28 juillet, c’est un autre palestinien de l’équipe de No Other Land, lui aussi de la région, qui a été victime de cette violence. Mais Odeh Hathalin, militant de la cause de Massafer Yatta, qui a tourné certaines des images du documentaire, l’a, lui, payé de sa vie, raconte le média israélo-palestinien +972 Magazine, auquel collaborait Hathalin, ainsi que deux des autres réalisateurs du documentaire, l’Israélien Yuval Abraham et le Palestinien Basel Adra.
Le 28 juillet, aux alentours de 17 h 25, un homme entre dans le village d’Umm Al-Khair, dans la région de Massafer Yatta, avec un bulldozer, selon le récit fait par le site d’information. Cet homme, c’est Yinon Levi, un colon “bien connu des Palestiniens de la région”. Fondateur d’un avant-poste illégal dans la région et gérant d’une entreprise de terrassement, il a été reconnu coupable de plusieurs “attaques violentes dans des communautés palestiniennes visant à les chasser de leurs terres”, ce qui lui a valu d’être sanctionné par l’UE et l’administration Biden, des sanctions US annulées par l’administration Trump.
Ce bulldozer détruit alors la clôture, la conduite d’eau principale et les oliviers du village, puis l’homme s’en prend à un cousin d’Odeh Hathalin. En réaction, des habitants commencent à jeter des pierres sur le bulldozer. Yinon Levi court alors vers eux, frappe l’un d’eux qui le filmait avec la crosse de son pistolet avant de tirer des coups de feu en leur direction, poursuit +972 Magazine. Une balles atteint Odeh Hathalin au poumon, il meurt dans l’ambulance en route pour l’hôpital. La police israélienne a ouvert une enquête et a arrêté Yinon Levi. Il a été placé en résidence surveillée en attendant la suite de la procédure.
Odeh Hathalin "a considérablement servi sa communauté, plus que quiconque", déclare un autre de ses cousins. "Chaque jour, il œuvrait pour nos droits. Il l’a payé de son sang et aujourd’hui, de sa vie." Depuis le début de la guerre à Gaza, près d’un millier de Palestiniens, en majorité des civils, ont été tués en Cisjordanie par des soldats israéliens ou des colons. Dans le dernier article qu’il a signé, datant de juillet 2024, pour +972 Magazine, Odeh Hathalin écrivait : "À Umm Al-Khair, l’occupation nous condamne à un traumatisme multigénérationnel."

Next Saturday could see a mass demonstration against the proscription of Palestine Action with the Metropolitan Police warning they will make mass arrests of people in breach of the Terrorism Act's prohibition of any support for a proscribed organisation.

If the numbers that are expected turn up this will push PA proscription arrests over 1000 & will further demonstrate Yvette Cooper's anti-democratic credentials.

Another unforced error

Is the Country and the World ready for the next #space #disaster from either #SpaceX or #BlueOrigin? Putting humans atop giant roman candles and hurdling them off into space is hard, and it is dangerous, and the fact that neither of these Companies has lost a life yet doesn't mean they won't tomorrow (or the next day).

Complacency is a cancer, and we (the collective us) have become complacent, just assuming that SpaceX builds perfect launching machines.

A disaster is coming. I don't know when, but I do know when it happens lives will be lost and lives will be changed.

I hope we're ready. #SpaceTravel #NASA #astronauts
