The Daily Blog Open Mic – 23rd April 2024
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
Independent panel finds no evidence for UNRWA complicity in terrorism three months on
https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/04/1148821
The panel tasked with investigating allegations that UN Relief Agency for Palestinian Refugees employees were involved in terrorist acts is still waiting for evidence to be supplied by Israel. It took one day for the largest donors to UNRWA to suspend funding without evidence but three months on and the collective punishment of thousands of UN employees remains, as does the suffering of the people that benefit from this crucial aid. It is probable that no evidence of terrorism by the UN will eventuate and that this was a propagandistic smear campaign by the Israeli regime. New Zealand’s foreign ministry must commit to funding UNRWA in the next tranche.
Some sensible advice from Denis O’Reilly in Granny Herald today.
I’ve known him since the days of NZ Freighters/Brambles, Allenby Tce and briefly while at the Colonial Office.
Always right on the mark.
