Above Photo: International Federation For Human Rights Washington, D.C. ‒ A broad coalition of more than 288 U.S.-based social justice, civil rights, and human rights organizations is calling on the Biden administration to condemn the Israeli government’s decision last week to designate six Palestinian human rights groups as “terrorist organizations.” In a letter issued today, the organizations say the Biden administration has no choice but to condemn and push back against this move if it is to fulfill its avowed commitment to human rights. “These actions by the Israeli government are a clear attack on human rights,” the letter reads. “As […]
This public action by tech workers follows an increasing number of coordinated actions in the sector to pressure Big Tech companies to cancel government contracts for surveillance technology. Google and Amazon workers have published a public letter calling on the two companies to cancel Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract for cloud computing services for the Israeli military and government. We know that the Israeli military apparatus will use these services to build weapons and surveillance technology to use against the Palestinian people. Such technology, once tested on Palestinians, is frequently exported back to the United States to be used against marginalized […]

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny has lamented the lack of reaction from US President Donald Trump regarding Navalny’s alleged poisoning. Asked by CBS 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl whether it is important to Navalny that Trump “condemn this action,” the opposition leader said that the US president probably should have been the first to do so. “I think it’s extremely important that everyone, of course, including and maybe in the first of all, president of United States, to be very against using chemical weapons in the 21st Century,” Navalny said in the CBS interview released on Sunday.

The topic of white supremacy was brought up during an interview today following remarks Trump made at the first presidential debate against Joe Biden in Cleveland. US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he denounces all white supremacists, mentioning the “Proud Boys”. “Yesterday I made a statement that was according to most, a perfect statement … I’ve said it many times, let me be clear again, I condemn the KKK, I condemn all white supremacists, I condemn the Proud Boys I condemn all white supremacists, I condemn the Proud Boys.

US President Donald Trump has denounced the Ku Klux Klan, white nationalists and the Proud Boys – a faction of right-wing provocateurs he was asked to condemn at a recent debate – while goading Joe Biden to do the same for Antifa. “I’ve said it many times, and let me be clear again: I condemn the KKK, I condemn all white supremacists, I condemn the Proud Boys – I don’t know much about the Proud Boys, almost nothing, but I condemn that,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday night. But [Biden] should also condemn Antifa. Antifa is a horrible […]
Citing President Donald Trump’s supposed refusal to condemn Kyle Rittenhouse, the youth who shot three rioters in Wisconsin, some mainstream media reporters and Democrats argue there’s no need for them to disavow Antifa now. During the Monday evening press conference at the White House, Trump said he was “looking” at what he described as a “an interesting situation,” when asked to condemn Rittenhouse. “You saw the same tape as I saw and he was trying to get away from them, I guess, looks like. And he fell and then they very violently attacked him and it was something that we’re looking […]
Trump campaign director of communications Tim Murtaugh struggled to explain on Wednesday why Republicans and President Donald Trump won’t condemn the unhinged conspiracy theory QAnon, claiming it was just a media obsession that the campaign is not “focused on.” A day after the Republican National Convention pulled a speech by “angel mom” Mary Ann Mendoza after The Daily Beast reported that she boosted an anti-Semitic, QAnon social-media thread, MSNBC host Hallie Jackson pressed Murtaugh on the RNC’s decision. “You had an on-the-record statement saying her video was pulled. Why was that?” Jackson wondered aloud. “Well, I think everyone knows the story […]

In the letter, lawmakers argue that such a move could severely impede Washington’s ability to “deter” Russia’s alleged malign activities in Europe and will erode […]
