Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

There is a robust discussion inside the #Left about #antisemitism in its own ranks. This is not just related to #Zionism, #Israel, and #Palestine, but also involves questions about #conspiracy theories, notions of secret #elites, and #critiques of financial #capital—as well as how to deal with openly #antisemitic actors. This unique panel will bring together four scholars and activists on the Left, who have a range of different views to discuss this. What does antisemitism on the Left actually consist of? Where do different parts of the Left stand in relation to this issue? How is it addressed or ignored? And what are constructive ways the Left can better deal with antisemitism?
Moderated by Spencer Sunshine, this panel features Sina Arnold, Shane Burley, Keith Kahn-Harris, and Joshua Leifer.

Brazil has been transformed into an open-air laboratory for the generation COVID-19 mutations, and possibly even a new virus, an even more infectious and lethal SARS-CoV-3.
The Brazilian Trump has blood of 1000s of people on his hand and his incompetency is killing even more people every day.
It is another example of the total failure of the neo-liberal and ultra business oriented approach to the pandemic with a touch of racism and fascism involved.

#YPJ #fighter Berfin Rizgar was martyred on the front line in Ain Issa on November 18. The command of the #Women's #Defense Units has published a memorial statement.
YPJ (Women’s Defense Units) fighter Berfin Rizgar (Cihan Misto) was martyred in action on November 18 at Ain Issa. The command of the Women's Defense Units announced her martyrdom in a statement published on Saturday and expressed their sympathy to her family.
"Our comrade Cihan Misto, code name Berfin, joined the YPJ at the time of the Kobanê war. On November 18, she joined the Caravan of Martyrs on the Ebû-Sira Front while carrying out her mission against the attacks of the Turkish occupying state," said the YPJ Command.
Berfin Rizgar was born and raised in Kobanê in 1995 and joined the defense units with her brother during the #IS attack on the city in 2014. Her first experience within the YPJ was in an extreme #war situation. She had to say goodbye to hundreds of dead including her brother Rizgar and gave her word to avenge them.
"Heval (Comrade) Berfin went to the front line with great anger and hatred and defeated the IS in Kobanê together with her companions. In doing so, she fulfilled the promise she had made to the martyrs and liberated Kobanê from the hands of the inhuman IS gangs. Under these conditions, which were as difficult as they were meaningful, she quickly developed and gained great experience. She took on the role of a commander and trained hundreds of young women. She taught her female companions how and why they had to fight for a free life.
Heval Berfin showed great discipline, attention and responsibility in life and as a commander. She dealt extensively with fighting methods and dealt with the question of which front can be defended and how.”
After the victory over the IS in Kobanê, Berfîn Rizgar was also present when the #Islamists were defeated in Deir ez-Zor and lost their territorial domination. The YPJ freed hundreds of #Yezidis from the IS captivity and retaliated for the #enslavement of thousands of #women.
The statemend concluded: "As YPJ, we give our word to all the bereaved that we will avenge the martyrs. Like Heval Berfin, we will fulfill our current tasks and show our solidarity with those fallen in our #liberation struggle. We also say: Dema Azadiyê ye [Time for freedom]. Let us all defend our country, our language and our system of a #democratic nation together in this time in a #mobilization".

BildSimone Segouin, mostly known by her codename, Nicole Minet, was only 18-years-old when the Germans invaded. Her first act of rebellion was to steal a bicycle from a German military administration, and to slice the tires of all of the other bikes and motorcycles so they couldn't pursue her. She found a pocket of the Resistance and joined the fight, using the stolen bike to deliver messages between Resistance groups.

Sara Fortis (born Sarika Yehoshua in 1927 in Chalkis, a small town near Athens, Greece) never knew her father, who passed away when she was only two months old. Raised by her mother, Sara and her sister enjoyed a happy childhood. Though they identified as 100% Greek, they also celebrated being Jewish by lighting candles every Friday and attending temple on holidays.
Sara knew it was time to leave her hometown when the Germans arrived in 1941. She had heard about Jews in other small Greek towns being deported by the Nazis and never returning. Sara and her mother escaped to the small village of Kuturla and hid there for a short while. When it was no longer safe for Jews, Sara was told to go, although the villagers agreed to hide her mother. Leaving her mother, Sara decided to become an andarte (resistance fighter). Wanting to play a significant role in the group, she decided to go from village to village to recruit other females who wanted to fight.
Sara formed a band of #female #partisans that became indispensable to the male fighters, transforming young village girls into women. On their first mission, they were ordered to throw Molotov cocktails to distract the enemy and allow the partisans to attack. Impressed by their skills, the male partisans invited the all-female group to join in many missions. They burned down houses, executed Nazi collaborators, and aided the men in a way no group of females had before. The male andartes were given credit for many missions the women completed, as it was unfathomable that women could accomplish such acts. Often the women were forced to sleep next to the men and Sara constantly worried about the women's safety.
Sara became a prominent and well-respected figure in the andartes movement in Greece. By age 18, she was known as 'Kapetenissa [Captain]Sarika'. The Nazis sent an informer to try to capture her, but mistakenly arrested -- then brutally raped and murdered -- her cousin, Medi. Vowing revenge, she tracked down and executed the informer.
After the war, the andartes fell out of favor with the new Greek government. Sara was arrested, but owing to her great reputation, she was released shortly after. She then emigrated to #Israel, where she met her husband and settled down.
