Take a look at Times of Israel in MBFC

Amongst other things it says:

MBFC’s Country Freedom Rank: MODERATE FREEDOM
Media Type: Website
Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic
MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY

When covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they usually are objective and cover both sides fairly, such as this: IDF strikes fresh Hamas targets after 2nd rocket fired from Gaza Strip. However, during the conflict of 2023, they were less objective, focusing on the objectives of the Israeli military. In general, the Times of Israel is factual with a slight left-leaning editorial bias.

This is not a joke, just check it out.

You’re welcome!

I don’t really understand the bénef of a central bank digital currency.

It benefits the 1% of the population by controlling all the rest of us. It’s a two-tier system (retail CBDCs and wholesale CBDCs) and this is something that is rarely mentioned in mainstream articles.

Retail CBDCs will be linked to your digital ID and your digital wallet, and even tho the implementation may differ from country to country (i.e. Sweden’s e-krona vs China’s digital Yuan), the thing that will be common is that a centralised entity, will have total control of your digital wallet, including your ID & money.

When the conversation is about wholesale CBDCs, the talk is about how to make things easier for bank interoperability as well as how to facilitate the super-rich.

You are totally right. I’m editing the summary now.

You are talking about the introductory text of the video. If you read it once more, you will see that what you mention in your comment is not relevant. Anyways, the important stuff are in the video.

I suggested the Ted talk because one can see her process, since she came to these conclusions thanks to self-reflection and thoughtfulness.

If you prefer reading, here is the text:

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces
The premier’s policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from

For years, the various governments led by Benjamin Netanyahu took an approach that divided power between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank — bringing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to his knees while making moves that propped up the Hamas terror group.

The idea was to prevent Abbas — or anyone else in the Palestinian Authority’s West Bank government — from advancing toward the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Thus, amid this bid to impair Abbas, Hamas was upgraded from a mere terror group to an organization with which Israel held indirect negotiations via Egypt, and one that was allowed to receive infusions of cash from abroad.

Got it, thank you so much.

Wow, what a garbage article. Surprise surprise it’s origin was Fox News. The amount of sarcasm quotes is kind of impressive, though.

I totally agree about what you say on fox news. I would honestly like to ask you something. Since I am not a native english speaker I am afraid that I must have missed the amount of sarcasm you mention. Would you mind pointing out a few examples so that I have a compass for the future. And I will delete it afterwards.

[edit: I was looking for a better article on the topic but I didn’t find one yet. If anyone has something in mind, please add a comment and I will edit the post and add this link, instead of deleting it as mentioned above]

Russia outlaws ‘international LGBT public movement’ as extremist - 30 Nov 2023 - The Guardian

Russia’s supreme court has outlawed what it called an “international LGBT public movement” as extremist, in a landmark ruling that representatives of gay and transgender people warn will lead to arrests and prosecutions of the already repressed LGBTQ+ community.

Human rights activists have said the vague wording of the ruling that targets the “international LGBT public movement” allows Russian authorities to persecute any individual or organisation it considers to be part of the “movement”.

“Even though there is no such thing as an international LGBT movement, it is clear that all legal activities of LGBT organisations will be impossible in Russia,” said Igor Kochetkov, the head of the rights group Russian LGBT Network.
