The scale, frequency, and brazenness of human rights violations around the world have not diminished, but rather have grown profoundly, raising the question of whether the very notion of “civilization” is little more than a veneer. Scores of countries spanning the globe have committed large-scale, documented abuses against their own populations and/or native groups, and against civilians in neighboring countries, and are doing so with impunity.
Today’s podcast guest is Aaron David Miller, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Between 1978 and 2003, he served at the State Department as an historian, analyst, negotiator, and advisor to Republican and Democratic secretaries of state, where he helped formulate U.S. policy on the Middle East and the Arab-Israel peace process, most recently as the senior advisor for Arab-Israeli negotiations.
In this episode, we discuss the current state of Israeli-Palestinian affairs and what the prospects are for peace, including regionally, what we may see from the upcoming elections in Israel, the current status of the Iran war and its implications for the region, the Gulf states’ concerns about their security in the war’s aftermath, Israel’s gains and losses from the war, and the state of US foreign policy under Trump toward the region.
Listen now; link in bio.
The MAGA base has entered a new social contract, not with the Constitution but with Trump himself as sovereign, trading liberty and truth for the security of belonging to his camp. The horror is precisely that the destruction of American democracy is being carried out not only by a “madman” but by ordinary functionaries who know better and choose not to act.
Child sex trafficking is not just another societal problem waiting for legislative tinkering or bureaucratic reform. It is a moral outrage—a fundamental rupture in the ethical fabric of our world. The measure of our humanity will be taken not by how we treat the powerful, the wealthy, or the competent, but by how fiercely we protect those who cannot protect themselves.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi is warning that ordinary Iranians are being crushed between war, economic hardship, sanctions, and repression at home, which she has experienced personally. The human rights activist says she was severely beaten during her latest arrest, spent two months in solitary confinement, and eventually lost consciousness before being hospitalized. She has received prison sentences totaling 44 years and remains at risk of returning to prison. Yet she says resistance inside Iran is growing, particularly among a younger generation determined to defend its rights. Behind every war and every crackdown are ordinary people paying the price. Their voices must not be forgotten.

Give her 50 for collaborating with Zionists. There is no greater betrayal to the Legacy of Cyrus the Great than to collaborate with the apartheid state who burns churches, synagogues, mosques, schools, hospitals, homes and sacrifices children by the 10s of 1000s. You have disgraced all Persians and betrayed all humanity.
Israel does not merely tolerate settler violence; it enables and deploys it. Across the West Bank, settlers torch olive groves, cut water lines, steal livestock, and burn Palestinian cars and homes. Harassment, assault, and intimidation have become routine—carried out under the protection, and often in the presence, of Israeli soldiers. These are not isolated crimes by “rogue” extremists. They form part of a broader policy of dispossession: driving Palestinians from their land and hastening annexation. The violence unfolds openly, with near-total impunity. Yet, instead of demanding that Israel stop committing these crimes, Trump continues to arm Israel. His authorization of 2.8 billion in military weapons makes Trump an active enabler of this deadly campaign. This is complicity in crimes against humanity.

No kidding
0ct 7th - H o s t a g e s explained to the blind: -- One side, indigenous to the land -- oppressed and displaced into open air prison out of their land for over 80 years, took a few hundred hostages to free its people from being ethnically cleansed in a desperate resistance attempt to negotiate freedom. --- The other side, the oppressor, not indigenous and illegally nuclear armed settler from many other lands --- has been taking thousands for hostages and genociding 100s of thousands for 80 years to ethnically cleanse the first side and deny them freedom so it can take their land --- while paid in full by Europe and America. --- Notice I am not talking about Jews, I am Jewish from my mother's side, the majority of Jews are good people. It is he Zionists or Euro Trash settlers, a cult created in 1800 in Hungary, who are the beneficiaries from this genocide are the ones lying and twisting the truth on you. Feel the difference? Speaking up to the blind.
So was Biden, so is our entire political system
The Trump administration’s EPA has repealed major limits on carbon pollution from coal- and gas-fired power plants—rules that the previous administration estimated could prevent 1,200 deaths and 360,000 asthma attacks in 2035 alone. The discarded standards were projected to eliminate 1.38 billion metric tons of carbon pollution through 2047 while also reducing dangerous pollutants linked to serious health problems. The EPA says eliminating the rules will save businesses $370 million in regulatory costs. But HRW notes that the agency did not estimate the resulting costs to public health. This is not only about climate policy. It is about the air Americans breathe—and the health consequences communities may face.

CO2 is not a pollutant.
news flash we are carbon based life forms
🤭🤭🤭
Thank God for Donald Trump.
I love good Gaslighting, nothing like pushing your own narrative to benefit your own agenda
Risking everyones lives even Kiss Ass Republicans.
maybe people are tire of the "rules" created by unelected beurocrats that congress doesn't have the balls to codify.
The eastern hemisphere has had zero regulations ever! Where's the outrage?
Trump loves the oil industry. He makes money from them. That is why he ignores and lies about environmental destruction. He apparently does not care the damages will affect his children and grandchildren as well. He’s getting more financial gains now. He can never have enough money.
I will never vote Republican again. They will sellout their health for corporations to profit. And they cheer on their own demise. So twisted
sadistic
Of course Trump doesn’t care about the health and lives of Americans. All he cares about is how much money he can save his fossil fuel and buddies that donated to him.  he’s nothing but a lowlife scum despicable crook.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s government has increasingly invoked “family values” and morality while targeting Türkiye’s LGBT community. In coordinated raids this month, police targeted LGBT and HIV-rights organizations, bars, and nightclubs across several cities. At least 112 people were arrested, with 82 ordered detained. LGBT activists and a journalist are among them. More than 100 people protesting the crackdown were also detained. Human Rights Watch warns that the campaign threatens fundamental freedoms and the rule of law. The government is promoting its own vision of family and “morality” while silencing organizations, restricting expression, and subjecting already vulnerable communities to an increasingly severe crackdown. These are Erdogan’s shameful values.

Family values … How many men and women divorce ?! …
DON'T INSULT THE CREATOR! Same-sex sexual behavior is common and has been documented in over 1,500 animal species across the globe. How Common Is It? Widespread Presence: Researchers have observed same-sex courtship, mounting, copulation, and pair-bonding in mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and insects. Not an Anomaly: Rather than rare exceptions, these behaviors appear across nearly every major branch of the evolutionary tree. Examples in Nature Laysan Albatross: In colonies where females outnumber males, pairs of female albatrosses frequently form long-term bonds to raise chicks together. Bonobos: These primates engage in frequent same-sex interactions. They use these behaviors to build social alliances, reduce group tension, and share resources. Bottlenose Dolphins: Male dolphins often form lifelong, tight-knit bonds with other males, traveling and hunting together. Penguins: Same-sex coupling, nesting, and joint egg incubation have been recorded in several penguin species. Why Does It Happen? Social Bonding: In many social species, same-sex activity reinforces group harmony and solidifies hierarchy. Conflict Reduction: Interactions help diffuse aggression and ease tension within groups. Parenting Cooperation: Forming stable same-sex pairs allows some species to successfully raise offspring when opposite-sex partners are scarce. For more details on recorded species and research history, check out the Wikipedia Overview of Homosexual Behavior in Animals.
They chose their bed
Thank you Allah... we need this world wide
Siz bu kadar h layınca doğru yolda olduğumuzu daha iyi gördük.
Ipocriti di merda
So based 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Well done Turkey
Well done Türkiye 👏
Proud of Turkey ❤️❤️
Az bile totolar
Farvel, Tyrkia
Family Values. That’s Laughable
İt Ürür, Kervan Yürür 💪🇹🇷❤️
Türk halkı bu kararı destekliyor...Bence siz de destekleyin. Tüm dünyayı yönetmek isteyen küresel güçler LGBT yi destekliyor, neden? Savaşacak, üretecek, üreyecek erkek kalmasın diye...
Les religions ne DEVRAIENT JAMAIS être imposées. JAMAIS gouverner les pays. Les gens doivent être libres de croire en Dieu ou pas, de douter des paroles écrites. On peut bien croire ce qu'on veut. La bible a été écrite par des humains et n'est pas une preuve de l'existence de Dieu. La sexualité est personnelle et ne regarde que les personnes concernées.
La Vérité doit-elle encore longtemps nous choquer ? A great mission! Long live Turkey!
Turkiet 🤮
Thank you Erdogan for saving Turkiye from 💩
Lets save human race
What family values ?
Yorumlara.Net cevap...LGBT HAYIR ❌ Eşcinsellik bilimsel olarak doğuştan değildir. Erkekliği bozan, kadının yerine geçen, milli ve manevi kutsalları yok sayan, cinsel bir sapkınlıktır. Kuran'da, Tevrat'ta ve İncil'de sonsuza kadar yasaktır. Eşcinselliğin doğuştan olmadığı ve eşcinsel geni olmadığına dair, dünyada ki ünlü yayınlardan bilimsel makaleler.. Homoseksüelliğin genetik olup olmadığı üzerine 20 yıldır araştırma yürüten Dr. Neil Whitehead: “Hiç kimse eşcinsel doğmaz. Genom taramalarında herhangi bir eşcinsellik genine rastlanılmamıştır" dedi. Kolombiya Üniversitesi’nden Dr. William Byne ve Dr. Bruce Parsons, homoseksüelliğin genetik olduğu yönündeki iddiaları araştırmış ve aynı sonuca varmışlardır. Genel Psikiyatri Arşivleri çalışma sonuçlarını yayınlayan Dr. Byne ve Prf. Parsons şöyle yazmıştır: “Şu anda bu biyoloji teorisini ispat edecek hiçbir delil yoktur… Cinsel yönelimin mevcut biyolojik açıklamalarının tercih edilmesi, çok sayıda deneysel veriden ziyade, psiko-sosyal açıklamaların mevcut durumu tatminsizliktir” Kolombiya Üniversitesi’nden Psikiyatri Profesörü Prof. Dr. Robert Spitzer; "200’den fazla kişi ile görüşmüş ve bu kişilerin çok büyük bir kesiminin terapi gördükten ve psikolojik danışmanlık aldıktan sonra homoseksüel eğilimi bırakarak, heteroseksüel olarak yaşamlarına devam etme istekleri olduğunu belirtmiştir" William Byne and Bruce Parsons, “Human Sexual Orientation: The Biologic Theories Reappraised,” Archives of General Psychiatry, Vol. 50, March 1993: 228-239 Robert L. Spitzer, “Can Some Gay Men and Lesbians Change Their Sexual Orientation?” Deccaliyet kadınları erkekleştirmek, erkekleri kadınlaştırmak istiyor. Bu yüzden dünyaya homoseksüelliği yaymaya çalışıyorlar. Dünyanın bir çok ülkesinde homoseksüelliği insanlara dayatıyorlar. Kuran’a göre çirkin bir eylem olan bu haramın yayılması dehşet vericidir. Homoseksüellik Kuran’da, Tevrat’ta ve İncil’de Allah’ın haram kıldığı çok çirkin bir sapkınlıktır. İnsanlara zorla bunu dayatmak zulümdür.

LGBT+ denen sapkınlar insan olamaz. Çünkü yaptıkları insanlık fıtratına ters. Gençlerimizi, çocuklarımızı bu sapıklardan uzak tutmalıyız. LGBT olan kişileri istemiyoruz. İnsanlığın geleceğini teminat altına almak için bu kontrolsüz şahıslara fırsat verilmemeli. Bu insanlık dışı sapkınlığı önlemek konusunda, diğer ülkelerde Türkiye gibi davranmalı.
👏👏👏👏
