This video has gone viral on Arabic social media that I monitor...
A Saudi Arabian man whose brother was murdered stands in front of a delegation of tribal elders who came to ask him to pardon the killer. His answer:
“As for my brother, you are turned away on it, by God’s command and God’s law… Either hospitality, the door opens and you come in, welcome on my head and my brothers’ heads. Or, men, my brother’s case is not open for any talk.”
He refused the pardon and still offered them his door, because in that culture a guest is honoured even when his request is rejected.
I have seen this tradition and law being exercised in person in Saudi Arabia and they are powerful moments in the culture and context of the Middle East.
How the law works. In Saudi Arabia "intentional murder" carries qisas ( or retribution), and the right to it belongs to the victim’s heirs.
The family has 3 options:
1. demand execution of the killer or wrong-doer.
2. pardon for free, or
3. pardon in exchange for diya (or blood money).
The killer’s tribe sends its MOST highly respected men to ask, and the WHOLE tribe often pays. Even after a pardon, the state can still jail the killer on its "public" right or if it deems it in the interest of public good.
I have seen this up close in real life across the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Iraq calls it fasl, and Pakistan wrote qisas and diyat into its penal code.
Whether it comes through custom, religion or tribal tradition, the goal is the same: pay for one death so the families do not trade 10 more as they may be tempted to seek revenge...
Why does it work? Because it reprices murder.
The tribe pays, so the tribe polices its own. Every family has a cash reason to restrain its hotheads BEFORE anyone pulls a trigger.
It breaks the revenge cycle. Without a settlement, "side A" retaliates, "side B" retaliates back, and 1 death becomes a feud that runs for a generation. A paid pardon ends it at ONE murder.
The victim’s family gets something. A prison sentence gives them NOTHING, the taxpayer funds 25+ years of a cell, and the killer walks out owing nothing to the family he broke and the children of the victim won't get anything in the West.
The killer’s side has to come to the victim’s door and ask, in front of everyone. In an "honour economy" that costs more than time served.
Is it perfect? No. Rich families can buy their way out, sums of tens of millions of riyals have been reported, and this video shows the pressure that falls on a grieving family. Which is why the right to refuse has to stay real, and this man just used it...
The West handed all of this to the State and the Prison system, and mostly forgot how to make an offender face the family he wronged and pay them.
If it were your brother, would you take the diya or demand the qisas?
Signal, not noise!

60 Minutes correspondent Trevor Phillips questions Marine Le Pen’s assertion that there is “no discrimination in France.” Le Pen is a presidential candidate from France’s far-right, anti-immigration National Rally Party. cbsn.ws/4iLUApS
Et hop d'une pierre deux coups.
Éteindre la flambée conservatrice des derniers mois et redorer le blason de la police, les peindre en héros etc. alors même qu'ils étaient encore accusés de trahison il y a moins de 24h. Les ficelles sont de moins en moins fines. Les vampires aussi

Je me suis rendue au musée d’art et d’histoire du judaïsme.
2 000 ans d’histoire et de cultures juives qui font partie de l’histoire de France.
Mieux connaître cette histoire et la transmettre, c’est faire reculer les préjugés et combattre l’antisémitisme.

AIPAC congratulates the hundreds of pro-Israel Democrats and Republicans who won their elections last night. More than 234 candidates supported by AIPAC members have already won, with many additional races still too close to call. We congratulate Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries on the resounding victories for their caucuses.
AIPAC members are determined to expand their political activism in the cycles ahead. Our community will increase its support for Democrats and Republicans who recognize that a strong partnership with Israel helps keep both countries secure, advances peace and stability, promotes democratic values, and grows our economy through trade and innovation.

''Ouais, juste pour dire que jusqu'à maintenant j'étais graphiste pour l'émission ''C dans l'air'' sur France 5,
Sauf que là ça fait quelques jours que le nom des émissions, parce qu'en fait chaque jour tu as un titre pour l'émission, et le titre qui est choisi là depuis quelques jours c'est ''veillée d'armes'' pour parler des manifestations,
On fait faire des infographies qui montent, par exemple, que 60 % des Français veulent que le mouvement s'arrête avec en dessous marqué en source sondage odoxa le Figaro,
Pendant que dans ce temps-là tu as des milices qui travaillent en coopération avec la police et c'est sourcé avec des articles du Monde ou du Figaro, donc des trucs relativement crédibles pour des journalistes de plateau...
Donc ça m'a cassé les couilles du coup je les ai appelé et je leurs ai dit que je me casse...
J'ai plus de boulot, j'ai plus de boulot,
Mais je préfère être en conformité avec moi-même...''

🇺🇦 Shocking footage of the 14-year-old being escorted out of the Azov-run underground prison near Kiev!
🇺🇦 Azov corps tied to "unofficial prison" near Kiev, 14-year-old found in basement
The National Guard's 1st Azov Corps has effectively acknowledged running the site near Kiev, according to Ukrainian outlet Strana, which says this follows from the corps' own statement.
The corps says four soldiers detained for "disciplinary offenses" had injuries and were sent to hospital for examination. It adds that if illegal violence is established at the site, those responsible will face "just punishment."
Kirill Budanov, head of Zelensky's office, also arrived at the scene. "I came here to figure out what the f*** is going on," he said.
Budanov then spoke to a minor found in the basement, who said he was 14.
He has since told protesters to go home, saying there are "no more hostages in the house."

Les violations de l’Etat de droit furent commises par vos amis ultra-conservateurs en Pologne @MLP_officiel .
Le gouvernement actuel essaie simplement de revenir sur la transformation passée du Tribunal constitutionnel en bras armé du PIS.
Toutes les démocraties européennes sont confrontées aux assauts des forces autoritaires. Des assauts soutenus par Trump et Poutine.
Comme vous.
Ce n’est donc pas étonnant de vous voir participer ainsi à cet effort coordonné de propagande. Le gouvernement polonais est démocrate, pro-européen et viscéralement opposé à Poutine. Tout ce que vous combattez.
Vous ne passerez pas. Ni en Pologne, ni en France.
Les évènements graves qui se déroulent actuellement en Pologne autour du Tribunal constitutionnel suscitent une profonde inquiétude.
La suspension contestée du président du Tribunal, l’intervention des forces de sécurité autour de cette institution semblent s’apparenter à une prise de contrôle forcée d’une institution constitutionnelle.
L’indifférence de l’Union européenne et le silence des médias face à la crise polonaise suscitent de légitimes interrogations : on ne peut prétendre défendre la démocratie et l’État de droit et se taire lorsque l’équilibre constitutionnel d’un État membre est gravement menacé.
On ne restaure pas l’État de droit en donnant le sentiment de s’affranchir soi-même des règles qui le fondent.
La multiplication de ces coups de force au sein même de l’Union européenne commence à sérieusement interroger.

🇵🇱 HERE WE GO. Donald Tusk finally speaks on the Constitutional Court crisis, and yes, it's Russia.
(We said he'll blame Russia on Monday. He didn't even wait that long.)
After a full day of silence, Tusk finally spoke for five minutes. If you took a shot every time he said "rule of law," you'd be on your eighth before he got to the Russian bots.
His main points:
🔸️The court built by PiS "is not a real court," and Nawrocki and PiS blocked every attempt to fix it.
🔸️His judges were "legally elected" and were "attacked," while the police were there to "protect the court from the attackers."
🔸️"In a state governed by the rule of law, a judge, even a petite woman, does not back down before an aggressive thug." That's a dig at Nawrocki.
🔸️"In a state governed by the rule of law, a politician cannot enter a court and give orders or intimidate judges, even if he is the president."
Then he explained the whole crisis with a story: a thief snatches an old lady's handbag, and when he's caught, he screams that he's the victim.
And then, right on schedule:
"It is no accident that they find support around the world among pro-Russian forces. Today in this conflict they are benefiting from the support of an army of Russian bots on the internet. They have even received public compliments from the Kremlin's chief ideologue."
In Tusk's version, the Supreme Court, the President and two of his own diplomats are a Russian influence operation. The riot police are the rule of law.
🇵🇱 POLAND, EXPLAINED (for people who don’t care about Polish politics)
In one night, Poland managed to have:
✈️ A president turning his plane around halfway to Africa
📄 An “emergency” court order that was written the night before
🔐 A locksmith hired to break into the Constitutional Court
🧱 The head of state climbing over a wall to get in
📸 A Foreign Minister in Atlanta whose main concern was a selfie with Lavrov
Watch till the end. We already know who they’ll blame by Monday.

So, the French socialists, and Parliament members just voted a tax, that they don’t understand, which would cost VideoLAN more than 1 million euro per year.
They are probably the most clueless politician on Earth? And they claim they want technological sovereignty…
