Are We Witnessing The Collapse Of International Law? popularresistance.org/are-we-w #leftist

PopularResistance.Org · Are We Witnessing The Collapse Of International Law? - PopularResistance.OrgThese past thirty years, the proponents of the Unipolar World have proceeded to methodically dismantle the norms, principles and diplomatic usages to such an extent that contemporary international relations are characterized by social media postings. First, UN resolutions have been construed to provide a veneer of legality to wars of choice against UN Member-States such as Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen. These gross violations of AA 2(4) of the UN Charter proceeded out of a deliberate intent to shirk the core principles of the UN Charter such as respect for national sovereignty and the peaceful resolution of international disputes.

Who Are The Real Terrorists? popularresistance.org/who-are- #leftist

PopularResistance.Org · Who Are The Real Terrorists? - PopularResistance.OrgWho are the real terrorists?  That is one of the important questions we all need to be asking ourselves.  It is a big challenge to write about this because every day there is a new deportation-related atrocity.  Now the deportation problem is active even in peaceful Hawai`i, where I live, and the picture is hideous and cruel.  The vicious effects of alarming, illegal, and lethal behavior by government agencies and departments, from the local to the federal level, are plain to see in this state, just as they are plain to see in almost every state.  It is an ugly picture that we, the people, cannot allow.  It is a reign of terror.

New Footage Exposes Ragtag US Mercenaries Firing Toward Gaza Aid Seekers popularresistance.org/new-foot #leftist

PopularResistance.Org · New Footage Exposes Ragtag US Mercenaries Firing Toward Gaza Aid Seekers - PopularResistance.OrgOn July 2, the Associated Press released an exposé containing short videos which appeared to show American mercenaries associated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) opening fire on aid-seekers in Gaza during an incident in southern Gaza this May. The footage was supplied by a former employee of UG Solutions, a firm charged with securing GHF distribution sites. “I think you hit one,” one soldier of fortune says to another following a loud burst of gunfire. “Hell yeah, boy!” another exclaims. In an apparent attempt to control the damage from the AP investigation, UG Solutions has distributed a pair of videos comprising over seven minutes of footage to the press.

Watch: Netanyahu Skewered Outside White House popularresistance.org/watch-ne #leftist

PopularResistance.Org · Watch: Netanyahu Skewered Outside White House - PopularResistance.OrgIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin was inside the White House Monday night meeting with Donald Trump. On the street outside protestors called for Netanyahu’s arrest, for which the International Criminal Court has issued a warrant. “Bibi, Bibi you can’t hide,” the protestors chanted. “You’ve been charged with genocide.” And: “Netanyahu you will see. Palestine will be free.” “We are here because Gaza is still standing,” one speaker said. “As we speak, Netanyahu is meeting with Trump crafting plans, not just for a future of deepened apartheid, but for the wholesale transformation of the Arab world. Economically, politically and culturally. This is not just a meeting. It is an agenda…for normalization. Normalization of genocide.”

The National Education Association Voted To Cut All Ties To The Anti-Defamation League popularresistance.org/the-nati #leftist

PopularResistance.Org · The National Education Association Voted To Cut All Ties To The Anti-Defamation League - PopularResistance.OrgIn a momentous vote, the National Education Association’s 7,000-member policymaking body cut all ties with the Anti-Defamation League. On July 6, the NEA’s national Representative Assembly approved New Business Item 39, committing that the NEA “will not use, endorse, or publicize materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), such as its curricular materials or statistics.” The reasoning: “Despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be.” The ADL has been a ubiquitous presence in U.S. schools for nearly forty years, pushing curriculum, direct programming, and teacher training into K-12 schools and increasingly into universities – often over the objections of students, parents, and educators.

Riyadh Realigns: Tehran Over Tel Aviv popularresistance.org/riyadh-r #leftist

PopularResistance.Org · Riyadh Realigns: Tehran Over Tel Aviv - PopularResistance.OrgThe recent confrontation between Iran and Israel marked a decisive shift in regional power equations, particularly in the Persian Gulf. Iran’s direct and calibrated military response – executed through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) – exposed the strategic vulnerabilities of Tel Aviv and forced Gulf capitals, chiefly Riyadh, to reassess long-standing assumptions about regional security. The Saudi-led recalibration did not emerge in isolation. Years of cumulative political, military, and diplomatic failures under the umbrella of US-Israeli tutelage have pushed Persian Gulf states to seek more viable, non-confrontational security arrangements.

Municipal Workers’ Strike Enters Second Week; Philly Refuses To Pay Living Wage popularresistance.org/municipa #leftist

PopularResistance.Org · 'Holding The Line': Municipal Workers' Strike Enters Second Week - PopularResistance.OrgPhiladelphia's largest municipal workers' strike in over 40 years is entering its second week after negotiations with the city broke down this weekend. Over 9,000 sanitation workers, 911 dispatchers, water services workers, crossing guards, and other city employees walked off the job last week, demanding that the city increase their salary enough to meet the rising cost of living. But even with trash piling up on the streets and other city services understaffed, Mayor Cherelle Parker (D) would not agree to the demands made by AFSCME District Council 33, Philadelphia's largest blue-collar union. Parker has offered a pay increase of 8.75% over the next three years, which she described as historic.

Labor Coalition Puts Bargaining Ban On Hold With Historic Referendum popularresistance.org/labor-co #leftist

PopularResistance.Org · Labor Coalition Puts Bargaining Ban On Hold With Historic Referendum - PopularResistance.OrgSalt Lake City — On a cloudy mid-April day, a large white box truck pulled up outside the Salt Lake County clerk’s office. Inside was a pallet of bankers boxes, each filled to the brim with paper packets. Since 6 a.m., at clerks’ offices across Utah, teachers, firefighters and other public sector union workers had been lugging in cartloads of referendum petition signatures. After Scot Baskett, a Salt Lake City firefighter, helped deliver a final load, he and his fellow organizers gathered to sing ​“Solidarity Forever.” Some raised signs that read ​“Protect Utah Workers,” the name of their 20-union coalition. Others raised their fists.
