"The Storyteller"
Bisan Owda is 25 years old with raven barrel curls that dance wildly around her face when she walks along the beach. Those same big beautiful curls were once the cause of relentless teasing. But Bisan is a force of nature that doesn't back down and also loves deeply.
She wasn't fluent in English and didn't learn how to speak it until three months ago out of sheer determination to tell the story of her people. Because of this she says "yani" a lot while trying to think of the right English word. It translates to "I mean."
When you go to her social media pages you'll see wizard behind her name, it's because she loves Harry Potter and her favorite character is Hermoine, obviously. She's a women's rights activist, Bisan, not Hermoine but Emma Watson is so it still tracks.
At just 25, she has traveled to multiple countries like France, Lebanon and Belgium with the UN Women's Youth Gender Innovation Agora and as an EU Goodwill Ambassador.
She loves her little brothers and friends and misses playing basketball. She's played in several championships. You'll rarely see Bisan in a dress or skirt even before everything happened. When she's not working she's usually sporting hoodies, baggy t-shirts, jeans or leggings/joggers and some sneakers.
She graduated college in 2021 and has her own show called “Hakawatya,” where she explores historical sights in her city and tells the story of how the ancient people lived who once walked the same floors she stands on.
Before Bisan became known worldwide for her catchphrase, "It's Bisan and I'm still alive," she was known as a storyteller.
A filmmaker.
A sister.
A journalist.
A friend.
An advocate.
An activist.
An outspoken, questions authority, takes no crap bright light destined to change the world.
She has a life as a full well-rounded human being with hopes, dreams, desires and a story to tell. So when you think of Bisan, think of her as a whole person, not just a number.
Bisan has recently been nominated for a Peabody Award with AJ+.
#Bisan Owda is 25, she's a storyteller and she deserves a future that includes continued safety and full freedom.

Gee, look what I was doing (as a student) a mere 45 years ago.
It's true: "You can find anything online"
We looked at Rupert Murdoch's Post (Full page screaming headlines) vs. the NY Times' treatment (bold headline with facts),
and how the 'fake news' &/or emotive slant impacted viewers' perceptions (or not). This was - #ContextAndPerspective - in New York City in an era when people read newspapers, and they were on every corner in #newstands, just a notch forward in timeline from the days of "Extra! Extra! Read all about i!". Papers at newsstands and grocery check-out cash registers, were ubiquitous, and impactful.
And, in our opinion - myself and future social psychologist Pete Dan - there was a clear, empirically demonstrable difference between tabloid headlines (in this case the Post's screaming headline "Nuke Cloud Spreading" vs the NY Times headline about a hairline fracture at the 3-Mile-Island Nuclear plant, near NYC.
O-Bla-Di, O-bla da. Happy Weekend!

Under Sions kalla stjärna - Under Zion's cold stars song by Swedish activist and singer Björn Afzelius from 1988
As the world is getting excited about the Erdogan's latest PR trick to hide his 6 months of criminal complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza by supporting the "Flotilla 2" from Turkey to Gaza, sitting and listening to the song of my favorite Swedish singer late Björn Afzelius who wrote the song about a similar even in mid 80s to take a boat with many famous artists and activists from all around the world to Gaza from Greece.
It hurts, really hurts that the world has to witness once again the same thing we have seen so many times before, but hoping that the kids of today are stronger and more successful than we were, maybe they can finally help ending this ongoing criminal actions by the "chosen people" against the "human animals".
And I listened to it one more time, with tears in my eyes after watching the videos of families trying to identify remains of their loved one recovered from a mass grave at Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis. I listen to it as I did live in 1990, and so many times after that in the past 36 years and sadly, the news on the TV is the same, so is the reaction from the Israeli politicians and our beloved neutral high morality leaders.
The song in Swedish can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zriUww6AFQ8

And this is the English translation of it.
Under Zion's cold stars
We were flying over Saloniki
when the clouds drew apart
and we saw the Aegean Sea
clearly and distinctly.
It was a beauty without equal,
almost like a fairyland,
when we flew over
the Northern Sporades.
We rounded Piraeus
and landed in Athens.
The city lay there, white
and attractive, in the sun.
But I stopped next to a TV screen
which was in the arrival hall.
I wanted to see the latest news
from Jerusalem.And under Zions cold stars
I saw small girls who fell,
with blood roses on their blouses
where the bullets penetrated in.
Under Zion's cold stars
I saw the same clear terror
which I remember
from Warsaw and Berlin.I wanted to sail over the ocean,
down to Haifa from Athens,
with several hundred
deported Palestinians.
But it was hard to find a ship
which was for sale for something like that
because of the pressure by
the Greek government.
But I tried to cultivate myself,
waiting for information,
so I drove around a bit
in the neighborhood around Omonia.
I saw Bousouki dance in Plaka
I saw the worn out Parthenon
And every evening I saw the news
from Jerusalem.And under Zion's cold stars
I saw small girls who fell
with blood roses on their blouses
where the bullets penetrated in.
Under Zion's cold stars
I saw the same clear terror
which I remember
from Warsaw and Berlin.So they found a ship
in Larnaca on Cypress
And we spoke about our trip
half the night.
And we laughed hysterically
when the Israeli minister
stood and exhalted us
to the murderers on TV.
But we didn't laugh any longer
when we saw in the morning paper
that those who chartered the boat
were murdered the same night.
They had blown them into atoms
next to a row of their cars
So now we sat in front of the news
from Jerusalem.And under Zion's cold stars
I saw small girls who fell,
with blood roses on their blouses
where the bullets penetrated in.
Under Zion's cold stars
I saw the same clear terror
which I remember
from Warsaw and Berlin.We drank ourselves drunk at the hotel
among the quiet Palestineans
and among agents from Mossad
who bought postcards.
But everyone wanted to travel
There was, after all, one boat
and no one had the strength to count
those who had fallen.
So in the dawn came the information
we all knew would come
that the ship had exploded
in Larnaca.
So I traveled from Athens
with the tiredness of death in my heart.
And in the evening I saw the news
from Jerusalem..Under Zion's cold stars
I saw small girls who fell,
with blood roses on the blouses
where bullets penetrated in.
Under Zion's cold stars
I saw the same clear terror
which I remember
from Warsaw and Berlin.And under Zion's cold stars
I saw small girls who fell,
with blood roses on their blouses
where the bullets penetrated in.
Under Zion's cold stars
I saw the same clear terror
which I remember
from Warsaw and Berlin.

The story of a war, a hospital, 390 dead bodies and lneutral press reporting it.
Sometimes sarcasm is the only thing that explains the actual event.
But sadly it's actually happening and it's all real and no sarcasm involved.
I just sitting here watching a video of a family looking at remains of their loved ones who were kidnapped by IDF a few weeks before they found their mutilated remains in a mass grave.
It's like Bosnia all over again, but the whole freaking world is behind it.
It's just breaking me. Not again.

The Media Lens Chamber Of Propaganda Horrors – An Appeal For Support
Media Lens
Tourists visiting Spanish cities like Córdoba, Toledo and Sevilla have the option of whiling away an hour or so at a ‘Museum of the Inquisition’, sometimes known as a ‘Gallery of Torture’. For around three euros, visitors can view an exotic range of devices used to impale, immolate, strangle and dismember human beings in the name of God.
It’s tempting to reassure ourselves that these are relics of a far-distant past, horrors that could never happen now.
(Text continues underneath the illustration.)
.
But did the Dark Ages ever really end? Noam Chomsky commented:
‘Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support. For a good reason – they don’t have wealth, they don’t have power. So they don’t have rights. It’s the way the world works – your rights correspond to your power and your wealth.’
It is indeed the way the world works. It is also the way the medieval world worked. (...)

The unbelievable stench of Israeli protection and propaganda on Swedish media!
Many years ago, I went to a one day class about the propaganda and how to cover negative stories in a way that changes/modifies the focus from the perpetrator to the victims or at least "bagalitisera" make it to become insignificant.
Swedish coverage of the ongoing genocide inAccording to Israel, it had to fight in hospital areas because Hamas terrorists were using them as bases. This is denied by Hamas. Gaza has been nothing but the steps the guy explained: They have been ignoring the atrocities as much as they can, they have been using question the authenticity of the reports and most tricky and important of them all, try to either start or end the report with something completely unrelated because most people who actually read the story, usually remember only the last 2 paragraphs.
It is like clockwork. every freaking article has been like this, like the have a template or an editor that makes sure the story is written in a way that makes it less damaging.
Most people don't see them, it is like the reporter is just covering the event of an important conflict, but when you look into it, it is always the same, the last 2 paragraphs are either completely unrelated or end with something less negative (or positive) about Israel.
The latest of these disgusting and outrageous charade was the report on the Swedish "liberal" DN.se, when they finally reported about the mass graves in Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis, they waited until the UN reported about it, and as usual, they used all the usual propaganda methods, when the image of spread dead bodies and the text explaining that 300 bodies were found in Nasser hospital, the first paragraph starting with BOLD says:
Enligt Israel var man tvungen att strida på sjukhusområden eftersom Hamas-terrorister använde dem som baser. Detta förnekas av Hamas.
"According to Israel, it had to fight in hospital areas because Hamas terrorists were using them as bases. This is denied by Hamas."
Perfectly innocent, isn't it, but for the person who saw the horrifying images, the story is no longer as horrible, because the good guys (Israel) had no other choice than fighting in and around the hospital because the bad guys (Hamas) was using it to attack the poor innocent Israeli soldiers.
It doesn't end there, no report of torture, no report of children murdered in groups, no report on people visibly being tortured or traces of recent operations possibly because of Organ theft, nor that some were buried with their catheter attached to their bodies.
No none of those, but instead:
En del kroppar begravdes vid sjukhusen provisoriskt av anhöriga tidigare under kriget, enligt uppgifter till CNN. När man sedan kom för att ge de dödade en permanent grav hade kropparna grävts upp av den israeliska armén, och lagts i massgravar. Enligt CNN ska detta ha skett efter att man tagit DNA-prov för att utröna om det rört sig om det varit kroppar efter de israeler som tagits som gisslan.
"Some bodies were buried in hospitals provisionally by relatives earlier in the war, according to CNN. By the time they came to give the dead a permanent grave, the bodies had been dug up by the Israeli army and placed in mass graves. According to CNN, this was done after taking DNA samples to determine whether they were the bodies of the Israeli hostages."
So the user will think that Israel didn't CREATE those mass graves of the innocent Palestinians, but it was just their standard procedure searching for dead hostages on bodies already buried by Palestinians.
And then the last 4 paragraph goes into something completely different, the story of mass graves is completely sidestepped and "forgotten" as something like a footnote in the bigger picture of the good guys (IDF) fighting the bad guys (Hamas) in what seems to be a retaliation for the bad guys shooting rockets at Israel!
Under natten angrep Israel norra Gaza med den tyngsta beskjutningen på veckor, enligt uppgifter från boende där som Reuters talat med. Det beskrivs som en mardrömsnatt med ständig beskjutning.
"During the night, Israel attacked northern Gaza with the heaviest shelling in weeks, according to residents spoken to by Reuters. It was described as a nightmare night of constant shelling."
And my favorite white wash section comes next:
Israeliska stridsvagnar gjorde en ny inbrytning öster om Beit Hanoun. Beskjutningen ska ha nått skolor där flyktingar tagit skydd.
"Israeli tanks made a new incursion east of Beit Hanoun. The shelling reportedly reached schools where refugees have taken shelter."
The Israelis don't attack sschools not refugee camps, and no report of dead or injured Palestinians, but that they Israelis were innocently had to react to Hamas rocket launch an attack that "reached schools", isn't it just lovely?
The ending is of course the perfect ending of any negative story about Israel,
Enligt den israeliska armén IDF var angreppen ett svar på raketbeskjutning från norra Gaza. IDF hävdar att man slagit ut avskjutningsramper och dödat flera terrorister under natten.
"According to the Israeli army (IDF), the attacks were in response to rocket fire from northern Gaza. The IDF claims to have knocked out launching pads and killed several terrorists overnight."
This would have been an innocent co-incident, but when it happens in EVERY freaking negative story about Israel (the few that actually makes the print) follow the EXACT same method.
This is just sickening, remember seeing it in American media like CNN, NYT, WP as well as Reuters and AP, but British media used to be different, but sadly, they seems to have gone to the same class and have the same guidelines, the stories on internet are all (except a few) follow the EXACT same guidelines to control the damage when it is badly needed.
The DN has removed the paywall from their propaganda pages, so you can read it in Swedish or use deepl.com or other translating SW to read it in your language.

Among the many false claims made by various #government media, #corporate media and social #media commentators, such as the UK being a "Liberal Democracy," we are also told how terrible the #capitalist #system in the #UK is and how we need more #Socialism to save us.
While I do agree that crony capitalism and #monopoly capitalism are indeed terrible, we don't actually live in a capitalist economic system, we live in a mixed Capitalist/Socialist #economy, where for the last two sociological generations or more, government spending has comprised more than 40% of all economic activity in the UK.

A very good #DW documentary I found in a post by @johnehummel@diasp.org.
But I can tell you, it made me really sad ...
It covers the #installation of #Putin's #fascist_system in #Russia.
As a German who has studied the history of our country, I see parallels to Hitler's career, his rise, and his way of deceiving and deluding the masses ...
But see for yourself ..:
Russia: Putin’s propaganda machine - Manipulating the people | DW Documentary
On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded #Ukraine. Many Russians supported the move at the time. Others silently rejected what was described as a #special_operation, which Putin claimed would #de-Nazify a former #sister_nation.
*Years of #indoctrination and #propaganda, a #single-party_rule that #muzzles the #media - this film #investigates how Russians under Putin have #fallen_silent, and why no one has pulled the #political_ripcord.
Although the international community continues to be horrified by this #brutal, #anachronistic #war in the heart of Europe, most Russians back Putin’s "special operation”. The film is an unprecedented #journey into the heart of a #brainwashed, #intimidated_society and an #in-depth investigation into the #inner_workings of Russia’s #repressive_machine.
Joey Mannarino via X shares this:
"Had dinner with a friend from #Ukraine tonight who told me something that the #media has not reported.
If you are a male citizen of Ukraine who lives outside of the country and your passport expires, you no longer can renew it at an embassy.
Her nineteen year old brother now lives in Poland with her and his passport has expired so he’s now without one.
If he goes back to Ukraine to renew it, he’ll automatically be conscripted into the war to go into Biden and Zelensyy’s meat grinder.
The level of depravity going on in the country of Ukraine is absurd.
They’re sending people to die with no rhyme or reason. They know they can’t win the war."

I'm really shocked 😂
Guess who the general Arab public blaming for this? The media, Arab channels and Saudi backed satellite TV and sites are full of angry people attacking Iran for taking the world's attention away from Gaza.
The same people who are feeding israel, protecting israel and done nothing to help people in Gaza.
Well screw IRI, but at least they are standing up against the genocidal regime of Israel.
