Maybe the king was trying to either get Trump to show his cards or to clarify Jordan's position, either way I wouldn't say it's a disaster for the King.

Their only guilt is to sell books! #freemuna

This is an outrage. The Educational Bookshop—& the Muna family that own and run it— are a cultural and municipal treasure. A JLM oasis & place where events and books focused on peace, equality and 🇮🇱 🇵🇸 partnership in pursuit of those things can often be found. What a disgrace 😡

We’re alarmed and outraged that two of our key partners, Mahmoud and Ahmed Muna, have been arrested in Jerusalem for the crime of selling books.

Given what happened to Mahmoud and the Bookstore, I am reposting the interview I recorded with him some time ago. If you don't know the Educational Bookstore in Jerusalem, this is a great opportunity to get know this amazing place. shows.acast.com/612edc98c1af...

In pratica #trump ha minacciato i dazi, #canada e #messico semplicemente ripetono quello che gia' stanno facendo, e il popolo #maga e' contento, promessa mantenuta. I mercati sono crollati, si riprenderanno domani, e Trump potra' dire di aver vinto. Storia triste

Ascoltare Nello Del Gatto su Rainews24 che parla della liberazione degli ostaggi, e' come sorbirsi un'ora di hasbara (propaganda), manco una parola sul fatto che anche i gli abitati di Gaza hanno il diritto di fare festa per il primo giorno senza bombardamenti.

If I read correctly this is the same deal of July 2024, so why was it stalled for so long?

Tra l'altro questa e' proprio la forma di antisemitismo piu' radicata nella destra europea, quella dello stereotipo dell'ebreo che controlla il mondo, ma e' ormai diventata una forma quasi accettata come innocua, legittimata proprio dalle teorie del complotto contro Soros.

Nel difendere il proprietario di Tesla e X, #Meloni ha rispolverato l'eterna paranoia complottista per George Soros. Il mito di Soros torna molto utile all'immaginario politico dell'estrema destra occidentale @blicero.bsky.social #conferenzastampa www.facta.news/articoli/geo... via @facta.news
