Leading by Example? The State’s Role in Wildlife Persecution Wildlife crime does not occur in a cultural vacuum. Laws, institutions, and public policy all help shape the way society values, or fails to value, the natural world. Blog: iwt.ie/the-states-r... @thejournal.ie

Leading by Example? The State's Role in Wildlife Persecution - Irish Wildlife Trust

Wildlife crime does not occur in a cultural vacuum. We must ask what message the State itself sends about the value it places on wildlife.

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

Israel's brutal and sadistic crimes, especially against children, aid workers, and prisoners... and relentless attacks against ALL of its neighbours... has placed it amongst the very worst colonial occupations in history.

Evolved Chimp You can carry it onto a commercial flight as luggage. You set it down in moving water. And immediately, it generates enough electricity to power a dozen homes for five years. Germany just solved off-grid power without pouring a single ounce of concrete.

Had a flat that agents couldn't sell. I made a movie about it. Put it on Facebook and paid to target it at people within a mile of the property. Was gone in a week. Estate agents steal a living.

The Arctic Circle just reached a temperature that once seemed almost impossible for such a frozen region: above 100°F, or 38°C … a shocking first … fragile regions are rapidly changing. Sometimes one number can tell a much bigger story … climate change is no longer distant. It’s here. It’s now.

💢 NEW: Israel Bombs Gaza, Kills Palestinians Hours After Trump Declares “Historic Breakthrough”

Within hours of President Donald Trump announcing a new agreement, new Israeli bombings and gunfire attacks killed at least one Palestinian and wounded several others in Gaza, medical authorities told outlets.

Gaza relief coordinator Eyad Amawi told Drop Site News that Israeli forces also ordered the forced displacement of whole residential blocks in two different locations, in Deir al-Balah and Nuseirat refugee camp. The orders violate the original ceasefire, as well as the newly agreed deal, and forced hundreds of Palestinians, including families with young children, to flee again in the middle of the night with nowhere to go. Hundreds are sleeping in the streets, Amawi told Drop Site.

The forced evacuations are part of Israel’s continued advance beyond the original ceasefire line. Under the watch of the U.S. President and his U.N.-backed Board of Peace, Israel has expanded its “Yellow Line” (marking the territory it controls in Gaza), from roughly 53% to around 70%, without either challenging the illegal advance.

Hamas said Friday that the first step toward implementing the agreement must be an Israeli commitment “to stopping the killing and ending its attacks.”

A senior Israeli official immediately said there would be “no withdrawal whatsoever” from the current Yellow Line unless Hamas undergoes what Israel considers “genuine disarmament.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not publicly said whether he accepts President Trump’s deal, which requires Israel to halt its attacks, finally allow adequate food, water, shelter and fuel into besieged Gaza, and withdraw first to the original ceasefire line, and then from all of Gaza.Bild

Full Statement:

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Press Statement

Hamas and the Palestinian factions have dealt responsibly and positively with the negotiation process and the mediators' proposals to complete the implementation of the second phase of the ceasefire agreement. This was done with national consensus among the Palestinian factions, reflecting a spirit of partnership and responsibility, stemming from our commitment to protecting our people, meeting their humanitarian needs, and safeguarding their national rights.

The occupation's commitment to halting the killing and ending its aggression is the fundamental prerequisite and the first step towards implementation and establishing the framework and timetable for what has been agreed upon. It is emphasized that the implementation of the second phase of the agreement is contingent upon the occupation's commitment to implementing all the provisions of the first phase.

The IMF says we pay $5T/year to subsidize fossil fuels — that's $13M per MINUTE to destroy our future. Meanwhile solar & wind fight for scraps. We don't have a funding problem. We have a priority problem.

You could say the same about any public service, or anything at all of public interest. The demands of capital owners trounce all other considerations, degrade the service and transform it into something with an entirely different purpose. UEFA's succinct critique of capital should be framed.

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”

Anyone meeting with Netanyahu on friendly terms after the ICC issued an arrest warrant for him over war crimes and crimes against humanity has no place in government, in any country and at any capacity. Vote them out.
