“from 2014 to 2020, Israeli organizations, including military companies and institutions, were involved 2105 times and received 1,28 billion Euros from the EU.”

I don't know man, funding the military companies of an apartheid regime doing slo-mo ethnic cleansing in the West Bank counts in my view.

The article then goes on to cite recent rulings that hamper access to information about the results of publicly funded projects and then just connects the dots, saying that on the one hand we've been funding the Innovation infrastructure of the regime and on the other we've been keeping information about what happens with the funds away from public scrutiny. So when the regime goes full genocidal, this is a potent mix for our taxes being used for crimes without any accountability.

A few cycle bros are secretly fuming that it was an e-bike. "Ugh ebikes again, they're everywhere now. Why couldn't he just use a regular bike?"

Mr Wadephul, there is something much much worse than Israel's diplomatic isolation. It's Israel's fucking genocide.

The propping up of the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime (and the persecution of the voices within your country opposing it) absolutely is though.

The most benevolent reading of his idea here is that the rich are shallow and are content with the base material satisfactions afforded them by wealth, as opposed to using their wealth for some kind of greatness.

That's it. That's the whole idea.

So this is the wise sage of the dark enlightenment? This is the intellectual colossus shaping the thinking of the new tech elite?

There is nothing there. Any random village priest (or small town pastor for you yanks) has more intellectual depth in their Sunday sermon than this.

Carney is using the Trump threat to discipline labour internally. Nationalism in the service of capital.

"Maintaining public safety and confidence is of utmost importance to York Region," Patrick Casey said in a statement Thursday. "York Region remains committed to fostering welcoming and inclusive communities, as affirmed by the Inclusion Charter for York Region."

"We remain committed to a welcoming and inclusive community where diversity is celebrated and where everyone can develop to their full potential," said Casey.

What kind of absurd statement is this? Inclusivity and diversity is redefined to mean banning anti-genocide rhetoric??

The US doesn't have that??? Backwards little Greece has had it for decades.

I can't tell if Carney making the Palestine announcement right before the deadline was a blunder or a calculated move.

That's the Soviet flag next to the ROC flag.

Oh yea? And where are the mainstream media articles with politicians being embarrassed about dealing with US tech companies? Where are the "EU voices alarm" pieces?

Whataboutism is one thing, willful ignorance of media bias is another.

But the EU is not actually contending anything.

This means: The EU is not actually challenging the US or China for global dominance. There is no actual European vision for the world. EU states are happy to find a way to play along with whatever the US want to do.

Anyway, cheers.

This means: I'm done talking about this have a nice day.
