Here are two additions, one that got accidentally deleted and one that came a few hours too late to go out in the first version.
At the end of the paragraph about the Black woman sentenced to 11 years in prison for self-defense:
"In a further cruel coincidence, she was sentenced in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where Kyle Rittenhouse, a heavily armed white supremacist, shot three people protesting police violence, killing two of them: he was acquitted on grounds of self-defense even though he had gone specifically to fight antiracists."
And regarding the types of protests we've seen by Israelis:
*[As I was writing this piece, the largest protest yet was gathering in Israel, in the wake of the deaths of 6 Hamas prisoners. However, everything I found in the news and in protest photos showed that all their concern was with the 6 dead Israelis, not the 50-60,000 dead Palestinians. Their criticisms were directed against Netanyahu, not for carrying out ethnic cleansing, but for sabotaging negotations for his own political reasons rather than making a deal to free the hostages.]
I've been really enjoying these compilations of news stories, some that I've definitely not heard about. I hope you enjoyed your trip to Ireland. Solidarity!
I look forward to reading that! I’ll be in England and Scotland in a few weeks and I’m excited for it. Won’t be in Ireland as planned sadly. Next time.
Thanks for all the input and also for looking at the damn situation in Europe when it comes to mass tourism and refugees. Unfortunately, many activists from the USA don't do that. Also that you mention the context of the terrible conflict in Sudan. I translated a very good article about this about 2 weeks ago. And here again the note that I have translated your article from "In These Times" into German with a link to your inputs in your text here from August 14th. Soli greetings, see you then, Sofie
