geneva_convenience@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Spain, Ireland and China to join more than 20 states to declare ‘concrete measures’ against Israel1·6 hours agoNo this is false. They changed the NATO agreement for Spain. It contained some absolute term like “everyone who signs this should spend 5%” now it contains some vague term like “allies will spend 5%” which Spain can easily say doesn’t include them. Not sure about its details or exact terms anymore but here’s an article
Spain reaches deal with NATO ahead of summit to be excluded from 5% defense spending goal
Spain also cancelled Israeli rubber bullet purchase and has closed their ports to ships transporting (weapons?) to Israel. Leaked documents also show Spain and Ireland being the primary drivers in the EU for sanctions against Israel.
This is not to say that Spain is doing full BDS, they still have a massive Israeli lobby group there, but they are probably the best of Europe.
Ireland on the other hand has people hating Israel but its government is much more subservient to Israel allowing weapons transports etc.

Where does it say she won’t co-lead? And co-leading doesn’t mean being the party leader. Maybe it’s a kind of vice-president position.

The list is “enemies of America”. Like how people are very confused when you show them this image of Reagan and the Taliban.

geneva_convenience@lemmy.mlto Global News@lemmy.zip•For Iran Casualty Counts, Western Media Leaned Heavily on U.S.-Funded Iranian Rights Groups2·6 hours agoDuring the 12-day war between the U.S, Israel, and Iran, Western media relied heavily upon a U.S.-based “human rights organization” when it came to counting the dead from Israeli strikes, and classifying them as either civilian or military casualties.
During the conflict, the group published civilian-to-military casualty ratios that consistently suggested impressive precision by Israeli forces, a precision called into question by emerging videos of Israeli strikes on civilian areas. Yet Drop Site could not find a single Western news outlet that disclosed the source of funding.
That organization, according to its own website, is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy, which was created by Congress and is funded annually to be an arm of American foreign policy. The organization is called Human Rights Activists in Iran but is based in suburban Virginia.
The AP referred to the group simply as “the Washington-based group Human Rights Activists,” while the BBC called them “a Washington-based human rights organisation that has long tracked Iran.” Time, France 24, the Wall Street Journal, Politico, the Washington Post, and dozens of other outlets relied on HRAI without disclosing its link to the US government.

Spain changed the NATO agreement before signing it to make it a useless promise instead of a hard goal.

NYT 1899: CONFERENCE OF ZIONISTS; Elect Delegates at Their Meeting in Baltimore. WILL COLONIZE PALESTINE
Where did it say Corbyn would co-lead? Where did it say Corbyn won’t co-lead? If Zarah says something and Corbyn doesn’t deny it then the statement is not disproven. Co-leading means holding a leadership role, not being its full leader. I really don’t understand why you’re so keen on claiming a false positive when there are no contradictory statements
When he starts assembling a new party he knows the news will leak quickly. So now that he starts this endeavor there’s no real point in keeping it secret. Corbyn is playing open card here and somehow people are still nitpicking.
As often with opponents of Corbyn, I find your willingness to read whatever you want into his sayings a source of frustration
