... Noa was abused in Israeli detention. On board the Conscience, she met German #journalist Anna Liedtke. Liedtke, too, was abducted by Israeli forces and raped by female guards during her time in Israeli custody...

The brutal treatment came despite鈥攐r, perhaps, because of鈥攖he fact that Liedtke is from #Germany, a country unapologetically supportive of *Israel no matter what it does to Palestinians or even to Germans, and Schnall is American and #Jewish, a fluent Hebrew speaker of Yemeni descent who had renounced her #Israeli citizenship. The detention of those aboard the Conscience straddled negotiations over the so-called ceasefire, likely also contributing to the increasingly violent mood of the Israeli guards.

After spending quite a bit of the past couple of weeks chatting with friends and family, asking them what they're taking from the news, I think it's clear most of our news media is substantially downplaying the economic effects of the Hormuz straight crisis

What I can't figure out is whether it's intentional or not. I know it's unintentional in Icelandic media as they simply no longer have the resources or expertise to properly outline what's happening, but I can't figure out UK or US media

@baldur I think our media & leadership absolutely struggle to even detect nevermind report on economic struggles that aren't the stock market.

When the S&P500 looks like THIS, everyone in power & media think we're all doing fine now.
