[IsraelTimes] Officials in Florida, Texas, New York, New Jersey and Illinois reviewing whether move requires divestment from parent company Unilever under their various state laws.
[IsraelTimes] NY-based Susannah Levin, a 21-year contractor for the company, says decision by ice cream giant is part of ‘despicable trend’ of anti-Zionism.

Whether it be antisemitism or the PC's word Anti-Zionism.
It still reeks of RACISM.
This latest new Socialist uprising we are seeing seems to be nothing more than National Socialism (Nazi) rebooted and groups and companies are jumping on the band wagon yet again.
eg. Nazi - a member of the German fascist practices and agenda following US Socialcrat party. Which started in Germany the US 1933 2008 (Obama)and ended in 1945 2022 under Adolf Hitler Sanders/Harris/Pelosi Junta.
[ToloNews] The United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... in a new report is warning that the threat from terror groups such as ISIS and al Qaeda is expanding in many places in Afghanistan where the security situation remains fragile with uncertainty surrounding the grinding of the peace processor and a risk of further deterioration.
The report by the UN Security Council, published Thursday, says that despite territorial, leadership, manpower and financial losses during 2020 in Kunar and Nangarhar

[KhaamaPress] US recent request to Congress for supporting ANDSF worth $3.3 billion which prioritizes, one billion dollars for the Afghan Air Force to support ongoing military operation which also include delivering additional aircraft, one billion dollars for purchasing key supplies to ANDSF including fuel, ammunition, and spare parts, and $700 million to continued payment of salaries for Afghan troops.
It comes as the United Kingdom announced its one hundred million pounds of aid to Afghanistan this year. Very likely a Foggy Bottom - Green Zone leasing arrangement to the Taliban. They've had over 20 years to arm up. Good money after bad.

Matt, that was me, the limerick idiot, idiotically taking the name in vain upon remembering Shipman's thing for pie hats. Should've gone with "Ghost of Shipman," or just kept quiet, since I only knew the man from his later posts here. Sorry for any confusion.

NO! We are broke! The national debt is north of 30 trillion and growing like a cancer. If the Treasury had to pay even 3% return on existing t-bills/debt it would consume the entire federal budget. The Fed doesn't dare use liquidity tools or decrease buying treasuries in the greatest ponzi scheme in world history, or the whole fiat money system would collapse when any sane person looked at it. Since the 1960's America has endured the greatest looting of the public treasury since the fall of Rome, and the level of direct and indirect ruinous taxation on the middle class is worse than that experienced by the serf class in medieval Europe. We have exported our industrial base, imported useless illegals and torn the fabric of the nation to tatters over racist slanders as we devolve into tribal groupthink and educate our children in progressive gibberish. And the remedy of an honest election is now dubious at best as we see that the Marxists and their allies clearly stole the last elections....God help us!
[NYPOST] President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage...... wants to use $100 million in emergency cash to help resettle thousands of Afghan translators in the United States, according to a report. The White House also released a further $200 million of inventory for US agencies required to meet those same needs, Rooters reported.
So that’s really $300 mil, not a mere $100 mil.
Around 2,500 people who worked as translators or provided other services for the United States have been granted special immigration visas (SIVs) and are expected to be brought to a military base in Fort Lee, Virginia for final processing.
The refugees would potentially face retaliation from the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... because of their assistance during the US war effort.
The first group of such refugees will arrive by the end of the month. A total of 18,000 visas are currently being processed.
Biden has promised a final withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan by the end of August. The United States has had a presence in the country since the 9/11 terrorist attacks almost 20 years ago, making the war the longest in US history.

[DW] The International Judo Federation confirmed on Saturday that Algerian athlete Fethi Nourine and his coach have withdrawn from the judo competition at the Tokyo Olympics to avoid facing an Israeli athlete.
In a statement, the IJF said Nourine and coach, Amar Benikhlef, "gave individual statements to media announcing their withdrawal from the competition to avoid meeting an Israeli athlete during the event."
"We worked a lot to reach the Olympics, but the Palestinian cause is bigger than all this," the 30-year-old Nourine told Algerian television. His statements were backed by Benikhlef, who admitted they had "not been lucky with the draw. We got an Israeli opponent and that's why we had to retire. We made the right decision."
The federation said both were temporarily suspended after an investigative commission "confirmed all the facts." It added that the case was assigned to its disciplinary commission for "further investigation, judgement and final sanctioning beyond the Olympic Games."
The Algerian Olympic Committee withdrew accreditation for both Nourine and Benikhlef and "plans to send them home, applying sanctions accordingly," the IJF statement said.
NOT THE FIRST TIME
Nourine, who was due to take part in the under-73-kilogram event, has previously pulled out of other judo competitions to avoid Israeli opposition — most recently at the World Championships in Tokyo two years ago.
The phenomenon of Israeli athletes facing boycotts due to their nationality is not new. At the Tokyo Olympics, international judo was hoping to outline the progress made, but have now been hit by another public setback.
The comments by the two Algerians "are in total opposition to the philosophy of the International Judo Federation. The IJF has a strict non-discrimination policy, promoting solidarity as a key principle, reinforced by the values of judo," the federation said.
Athletes from other countries such as Egypt and Iran have also previously refused to compete against Israelis, with the story of Saeid Mollaei the most high-profile. Mollaei has since defected to Mongolia and could face the Israeli in question, Sagi Muki, in the semi-finals of the men's -81kg at Tokyo 2020.

Losing to a Juice would be embarrassing. Better to bail and look like a wussie. After all, it's not like the Olympics is about sportsmanship any more.

Who would participate against a South African athlete during the era of apartheid? It would be a deeply moral act. Same as apartheid Israel.
These people need to be shown what they are doing is wrong, and international sport was one of the areas that hit South Africa hard. Let's do it again.

[SHAFAQ] Local officials in Khanaqin confirmed today that the district's residents did not enjoy the holidays due to the poor security and service conditions that prompted them to spend Eid in the Kurdistan region.
The director of the Department of Culture and Arts in Khanaqin, Abbas Muhammad al-Arkwazi, confirmed to Shafaq News agency that Khanaqin residents resorted to the region to spend the Eid, in light of the facilities the government provides for tourists.
For his part, the Director of Khanaqin Tourism department, Samir Sardar, announced granting more than 2,000 entry licenses to the Kurdistan region for licensed tourism companies and offices in Diyala.
According to Sardar, the lack of services and the security situation negatively affected the holidays in Khanaqin.
It is worth noting that Khanaqin had always been a destination for tourists during holidays, receiving at least 30,000 tourists on each occasion.
Specialists attribute the decrease in the number of tourists in Khanaqin to the administrative and security changes in Khanaqin during the last three years.
[SHAFAQ] Iraq in 2021 is still a state afflicted by poverty, injustice, the trauma of great loss of life, and daily fear. Iraqis still suffer from a sense of powerlessness, defeat and humiliation. Since the start of the year, 330 civilians have been killed, including 27 children. Iraq Body Count has now documented more than 208,800 violent mostly peaceful civilian deaths since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, most of them occurring after the country became a democracy in 2005.
Far from reaching "the end of history", the pursuit of neoliberal transformation by successive Iraqi governments has produced a dystopian economy and a failed state.
Democratically elected governments in Iraq, supported by the US-UK coalition that invaded and occupied Iraq in March 2003, as part of the ’War on Terror’, have so far killed more than 4,000 Iraqi civilians through bombing and shelling aimed to destroy the insurgency and in the last years the Iraqi police force and militias it supports have killed hundreds of protesters across Iraq. The Iraqi governments also allowed the killing of thousands more in Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s by Coalition and Ottoman Turkish forces or Iranian-supported militias such as the Popular Mobilisation Forces.

[NPASYRIA] Israeli military Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s against Syria will not stop, and will soon hit the artery that links Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... with Syria through Iraq, American sources said on Saturday.
The successive Israeli airstrikes against Syria have obtained American and Russian green light, which encourages the end of the Iranian and Chinese presence in the region, the sources told Elnashra News.
Iranian presence has paved the way for the Chinese presence in Syria, and that in turn will not satisfy either Russia or the US, the sources indicated.
Last week, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said during a meeting in Damascus with his Syrian counterpart Faisal Mekdad ...Syrian foreign minister, formerly Perrmanent envoy to the UN. He replaced Wally Muallem, who died in office at age 79, having been FM since approximately age 12... that his country has released a four-point proposal to solve the "Syrian issue."
The key to an overall solution of the Syrian issue is through implementing the "Syrian-led, Syrian-owned" principle established by the UN Security Council, Wang Yi mentioned.
"All parties concerned should take concrete steps to effectively advance the comprehensive settlement of the Syrian issue," he added.
Meanwhile, ...back at the the conspirators' cleverly concealed hideout Montefiore's foot was still stuck and the hound had completely soaked his uniform with slobber... on Thursday, the Israeli military (IDF) told Prime Minister Naftali Bennett that its latest assessment found that the IDF is still not at full readiness for a major conflict with Iran, according to the Israeli Walla! website.
During the past six months, the IDF held a series of discussions in addition to an in-depth discussion between Minister of Defense Benny Gantz and Minister of Finance Avigdor Lieberman regarding the security budget and the increase required in order to counter future challenges, according to the website.
Additionally, a discussion, chaired by Bennett, over the Iranian nuclear issue was held recently.
During the discussion, the IDF representatives showed medium combat efficiency to wage a broad campaign against Iran, either with or without a nuclear agreement with the US, which included airstrikes, the site said.
Given all this, the IDF and Mossad stressed that Israel should develop multiple operational plans, which could be put into operation whether the US signs a new deal with Iran or not.
A security official told Walla! that if Iran cuts a new deal with the US, "It’ll be a problem to bomb from the air."
"The goal of such operations would not be to destroy Iran’s nuclear program in a single blow, but to sabotage, disrupt, and delay the program indefinitely through surgical strikes and intelligence operations," the official said.
To continue and expand this campaign, the IDF and Mossad are likely to request more funds and greater resources — as such intelligence operations are usually very expensive, he added.
Walla! indicated that the IDF "refused to directly discuss a potential battle against Iran over the progress in the nuclear project."

[NPASYRIA] On Saturday, the Syrian opposition faction Quwat Tamouz (July Forces) in Idlib demanded, through a statement, that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... stop handing over Syrian lands, and also demanded the departure of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else ...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State... leader Abu Muhammad al-Jolani.
"What matters for Turkey in Idlib is to negotiate in order to ensure its geostrategic and security interests in countering the Kurds, and it will be satisfied with a border strip with a depth of 10 kilometers," the statement said.
Despite the protests that took place over the past two days, Turkey, the guarantor of a ceasefire in the region, is still silent regarding the escalation of Russian and government shelling against areas in Idlib.
Simultaneously, on Saturday at dawn, activists from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) monitored rocket shelling by Ottoman Turkish forces against Kurdish areas in the southern countryside of Aleppo in the villages of Ibbin, Maraanaz, and Tel Rifa’at, causing material losses.
On Thursday, areas in the northern countryside of Aleppo also witnessed intensive shelling by Ottoman Turkish forces and Ottoman Turkish-backed armed factions.
The shelling targeted Deir Jmal, Soghanakeh, Ibbin, Aqibah, Maraanaz, and the vicinity of Menagh Military Airport, reporting no casualties, according to SOHR.
"The Astana agreement and its outcomes are like a stab in the heart for the Syrian revolution, and sold deaders’ blood at a cheap price that descends to the level of treason," the statement pointed out.
Additionally, the statement called for the departure of al-Jolani and "all international criminals from Syrian territory immediately."
Meanwhile, ...back at the desert island, Bert climbed the cocoanut tree, looking for ships. He saw none. He looked in the other direction and saw Irene, vigorously scrubbing her backside... Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS, formerly al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front) are running areas in Idlib and parts of Aleppo countryside after they managed to expel other factions with the support of Turkey.
"All evidence suggests the continuation of the surrender of the liberated areas, as what happened in Ma`arat al-Nu`man a-Sharqi, Hama countryside, and Khan Shaykhun, which were handed over by those who claimed to have been Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham," it added.
