A quotation from Wendell Berry

In nuclear or biological warfare, in which we know we cannot limit effects, how do we distinguish our enemies from our friends — or our enemies from ourselves? Does this not bring us exactly to the madness of terrorists who kill themselves in order to kill others?

Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

@istar @ChrisMayLA6 Actually, no it wasn't. The #legislation aimed at #climate #protesters came later, under the #Tories. (I refer to, e.g., the Public Order Act, 2023: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_O; legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/.) The Terrorism Act, 2000, is being abused, not used, in its application to #PalestineAction - which cannot, in any meaningful sense of the word, be described as #terrorist. Clearly, the wording of the 2000 Act needs to be amended, so that it can't be abused.

En wij hebben wat te zeggen in het ‘Westen’ over wat er in #Rusland , #China etc. over vrijheid van meningsuiting. Als het niet welgevallig is dan handelen we in het #Westen precies hetzelfde.

The #FEMA stated in a #grant notice posted on Friday that #NYC would receive $64M less this year from its urban area #security fund. The amount was listed in a single line of an 80-pg FEMA notice….

#Congress created the program to help cities prevent #terrorist attacks.

“It makes absolutely no sense, & no justification has been given to cut NY’s allocation given the rise in the threat environment,” a spox for the NY Division of #DHS & #Emergency Services said….

When Pierre #Trudeau was Prime Minister of #Canada he told #RichardNixon to “fuck off” when he tried to drag Canada into the #Vietnam quagmire.

Jean Chrétien was Prime Minister when the #September11th #terrorist attacks occurred. He sent #Canadian troops to help the #UnitedStates fight #AlQaeda in #Afghanistan but told #GeorgeWBush to “fuck off” when he wanted support invading #Iraq after bogus claims about #WMD.

A quotation from Wendell Berry

The National Security Strategy defines terrorism as “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against innocents” (p. 5). This is truly a distinct kind of violence, but to imply by the word “terrorism” that this sort of terror is the work exclusively of “terrorists” is misleading. The “legitimate” warfare of technologically advanced nations likewise is premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against innocents. The distinction between the intention to perpetrate violence against innocents, as in “terrorism,” and the willingness to do so, as in “war,” is not a source of comfort.

The move, which ended decades of #US policy toward #Syria, delivered on a surprise announcement by #Trump in May during a trip to the #MiddleEast.…Trump met w/President Ahmed al-Shara of Syria, who assumed power in December after his fighters deposed the longtime dictator Bashar al-Assad.
Trump declared al-Shara, who previously led a rebel group designated by the US govt as a #terrorist org, “young, attractive” & “tough,” & said Syria deserved “a chance” to rebuild after a devastating civil war…

"A group of about 50 #French #Jewish #children, aged 10-15, were kicked off of a Vueling flight in #Valencia along with their camp director. They were enroute back to #France.

The group was singing #Hebrew songs onboard the Airbus A320, triggering objections from crew. Vueling staff reportedly called #Israel a “#terrorist state” and didn’t want Hebrew singing onboard. The camp director, a 21‑year‑old woman, was forcibly removed from the #aircraft and “#arrested and #beaten.”
