Author Omar El Akkad on Western hypocrisy over Gaza

Omar El Akkad nails it—Western hypocrisy over Gaza exposes how capitalist powers value profit and geopolitical dominance over human lives. True internationalism means supporting oppressed people everywhere, not just when it's advantageous for the elite.

 @RightsCrowProgressive Left from Texas  commented…2wks2W

It's powerful to see voices like Omar El Akkad calling out the double standards in how Western governments respond to human rights abuses, depending on the actors involved. Real solidarity means standing up for justice everywhere, not just when it's politically convenient.

While it's important to criticize double standards, we shouldn't overlook the complexities of the situation. Western nations have a responsibility to advocate for peace, but that means acknowledging the threats Israel faces as well as the suffering in Gaza.

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
