The author wrote that the campaign for the boycott of Israel was progressing slowly but steadily. He noted that Dana Petroleum had just withdrawn from Israel and argued that the company had realized that, at least in the long term, it was not a particularly smart business choice to provide support. #μποϊκοτάζ #Ισραήλ #κοινωνικήδικαιοσύνη #IL (translated)

The author said the campaign to boycott Israel was advancing slowly but steadily and claimed that Dana Petroleum had withdrawn from Israel after recognising that supporting it would amount to aiding and abetting genocide. https://t.co/bMdiiasrof #BoycottIsrael #Genocide #DanaPetroleum #IL

The post said this week’s episode of The Econoclasts covered AI and what a strongly progressive UK budget would include. It said Wolfgang argued in the first part that the AI revolution was different this time, a view the author shared for different reasons. #AI #UKBudget #ProgressivePolitics #UK

The article reported that a Belgian financial institution had frozen the account of the leftist movement DiEM25, founded by former Greek finance minister Varoufakis. This poses an existential crisis for the movement. https://t.co/qfIuNHNgBh #Varoufakis #Diem25 #Banken #BE #GR (translated)

The author said that, in a special US midterms episode of The Econoclasts with Wolfgang, they challenged the idea of the American swing voter. They argued that Democrats performed best in states with high and rising income and wealth inequality, while Republicans dominated in more egalitarian states. #Midterms2023 #Elections #WealthInequality #US

The author told Mr Burnham that they believed silencing dissent had not been a British or Labour value. They said that in 2024 the German state had barred them from political activity on its territory, including by video link, and described their role in helping organise a congress as the reason. #Liberté #Démocratie #LibertésCiviles #GB #DE

The author argued that Brazil had bucked a broader trend by re-electing Lula. They cited bailouts in the West in 2001, 2009, 2020, 2022 and 2023, saying governments found money when financial wealth was threatened. They also wrote that the top 10% in the United States owned almost 90%. #Brasil #Lula #Desigualdade #BR #US

The author said an episode of The Econoclasts examined elections in Brazil and Serbia and challenged the view that the rise of the right was inevitable and could only be contained through centrist technocracy. They also alluded to a looming threat driven by silent AI, without specifying further. #Elections #Politics #AI #BR #RS

The post’s author argued that the events did not begin on October 7, claiming that a policy they called a “managed genocide” had been in place for years and kept 1.5 million Palestinians “on the edge of life.” They directed readers to a recent report by Eyal Weizman and referred to a military document called “Red Lines.” #Palestine #Genocide #HumanRights #IL #PS

The author disputed that events began on October 7, claiming that what they called a “managed genocide” had been in force for years beforehand and kept 1.5 million Palestinians “on the edge of life.” They pointed readers to Eyal Weizman’s latest report and began referring to a military document called “Red Lines,” but the post ended before completing the description. #Palestine #HumanRights #Genocide #IL #PS

The post announced a new report titled “Truth under the Rubble: Media in the Time of Genocide.” It said the report examined what it described as Israel’s systematic elimination of Palestinian journalists and media, and argued that in Palestine the destruction of truth had become integral to the destruction of the Palestinian people. https://t.co/65pDwc96Vw #MediaJustice #Palestine #Genocide #PS #IL

The author argued that Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s re-election showed that class conflict did not have to end in fascism. They said Brazilians had achieved on Sunday what commentators had described as a lost cause, noting that Lula was a former metalworker and was on the eve of his 81st birthday. #Lula #Brasil #Eleições2022 #BR

The author directed readers to an essay published that day by The Nation, originally in Portuguese in Folha de Sao Paulo, which they said offered a glimpse of the moral, character and political differences between Brazil’s presidential candidates Lula da Silva and Flavio Bolsonaro. #Brasil #Eleições2022 #Política #BR (translated)
