asside, checked ADL, they treat her as if she's Hitler incarnate for talking truth, then checked Elon Musk's page on the ADL, practically nothing, no mention of his Hitler salutes, or that his AI is promoting Hitler and attacking jews.
ADL is a fucking joke
ADL put spez on their tech advisory board apparently back in 2017. So I guess they've been a fucking joke for a while.
Couldn't they frame this without the angry bearded Arab vs smiling white woman?
He doesn't really look angry to me. And he does have a beard and is Arab so those seem like things that will be in every picture of him.
I'm sure hos photo is from the wanted list and hers is from her bio somewhere, but the juxtaposition just serves to magnify the point.
This is not an image that just comes up if you search him. Oop chose to have this image instead of him in a suit with a kept beard.
Edit: also amplify which fucking point, that people with messy facial hair in headscarves are terrorists?
Edit 2: look at my bias with the messy part, sub in 'longer'
I think they were attempting to imply he was more dangerous than her and more deserving of being on the list. Its probably true, but tactically chosen pictures make the differences between them more extreme, less than a mug shot of her and a wedding photo of him would, as an example.
I am surprised they didn't find the classic terrorist photo (holding a weapon) they usually seek out for these headlines.
Compared to what I usually see, this is pretty mild.
Ex-wife hated my beard, said it made me look always angry. Still don't think the beard was the issue.
Guy on the left is an (ostensible) ally of Israel
Woman on the right is not.
Seems pretty straightforward to me.
He cut off Iran's supply to Hasbulla in Lebanon, cut off Iran's reach to Israel, gave Israel extra strategic lands, let Israel destroy all previous regime's Russian/Iranian military equipments and now he has announced normalizing relations with Israel.
Then US immediately rewarded him with investments and aid contracts from the other dictatorship gulf countries, who are good dictatorships btw they say USA Good. They invest in the US, ONLY allowed to buy US defense contracts, tie their currencies to the US dollar ONLY and basically keep all their country resources under the exploitation of the US for the mere beautiful American/Western-values sponsored cost of emprovishing and beheading their citziens every fucking month for talking on twitterz and depriving them of human rights :D
This one pisses me off.
I fixed it.
lmao I wish this meme you made was even an exaggeration
Sanctioning albanese is an abomination.
it's not true to say al jolani was the founder of al qaeda. He was a part of jabhat al nusra which was affiliated with al qaeda. They split over disagreements and actually wiped al qaeda from Syria.
Whether he's actually a terrorist is hard to say because the US designates any group it doesnt like as that.
They split over disagreements
"Listen, are we proxies of the CIA or not, guys?"
Whether he’s actually a terrorist is hard to say
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_al-Sharaa#War_crimes_of_al-Nusra_(2012%E2%80%932016)
Under al-Shara'a's leadership, al-Nusra Front and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham perpetrated a series of war crimes, suicide bombings, forced conversions, ethnic cleansing and sectarian massacres against Syria's Christian, Alawite, Shia and Druze minorities. These included the January 2012 al-Midan bombing, which killed 26 people and wounded 63.
🤔
I'm sure he was backed by the CIA, people forget Hamas was backed by Israel. Doesn't mean Hamas is an Israel asset. The CIA like many others will play the dirty game of backing groups that they dont like if there is some strategy to it. Just like they did with the Taliban originally to fight the Soviets.

It's the age old "backing moderate rebels" strategy. Divide and conquer. Netanyahu armed Hamas to undermine The Palestinian Authority, then turned them into a Boogeyman the moment they had an electoral win.
Hamas was an "asset" in the sense that it gave Israelis an excuse to continue ethically cleansing Gaza.
Just like they did with the Taliban originally to fight the Soviets.
So easy for westerners to ignore how the fundamental local appeal of the Taliban was to break the hold of the opium cartels (which the CIA/MI6 loved).
As soon as the US toppled Mullah Omar's government, their allies in the drug trade rushed back in to rebuild the old opium trade. When they were finally pushed out 20 years later, the opium traffickers were pushed out with them.
Also, sometimes "terrorists" give up their armed struggle. That's something that should be encouraged. If you go with the idea of "once a terrorist, always a terrorist" then there's no incentive for so-called "terrorists" to ever change their ways.
And, from a more practical matter, he's in charge of Syria now. If the international community wants Syrians to be free, happy and healthy they have to try to work with him. If they cut off all aid to Syria and refuse to work with him, then the only people who will work with him are all the various bad actors of the region. They shouldn't necessarily fully trust him, but they should give him an opportunity to show he has the best interests of the Syrian people at heart.
Terrorism and antisemitism only mean thinking Palestinians are human. The more you think that Palestinians are expendable, the more you can be accepted by the US government.
Add to that ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan who has already been sanctioned by the US back in February for the crime of issuing an arrest warrant for a war criminal.
And why are the pictures relevant? Because Middle Eastern men are terrorists by default, and attractive women are pure of heart?
Jolani is literally an Al Qaeda commander who is now the dictator, sorry, President of Syria. His thugs are massacring Christians, Druze and Alawites in the same way as his ISIS brothers were doing.
But he is now the darling of the West because he isn't pro Palestinian and kisses Trumps ring.
What your saying isn't true.
He was an al qaeda affiliate, he later wiped al qaeda from Syria with his group.
There hasn't been a massacre of Christians as you espouse. There was some aggressive incidents caused by a few but Jolani has been deploying his army to safe guard Christians and their church's.
There was 1 incident of an alawaite massacre after which he sent troops to calm things down. And promised to take those to account, we will see if he fulfills this promise.
Other fights with alwaites are with old regime hold outs.
No, he has not been going around massacring people ISIS as you espouse.
The truth is, it is too early to tell what type Jolani will be.
I wish the left could have gotten its shit together last November.
The Democratic party's leadership makes that much more difficult than it needs to be and they will keep blowing winnable elections for the rest of us until they are removed from power
The Democratic party isn't the left.
Wow, let's top discrimination by being racist.
Both can be good or bad independent of their outward appearance.
He's projecting the same orientalism back at the empire to illustrate a point. It was never about wearing a beard. Or even about joining ISIS.
It was about not being a politically advantageous ally to the US empire.
ISIS are the good guys now.
We have always been at war with the UN Special Rapporteur.
War is Peace.
