Israeli authorities shutter Voice of Palestine radio’s Israel operations, question 5 journalists – Committee to Protect Journalists

Israeli authorities should immediately reverse their order to shut down the Israeli operations of the Voice of Palestine radio station and should cease harassing members of the press, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Monday. On Monday, March 20, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir ordered Voice of Palestine, the official broadcaster of the Palestinian Authority government, to be barred from operating within Israel, according to multiple news reports. After the order was issued, Israeli police officers arrived at the company’s offices in East Jerusalem and informed the staff about the ban, those reports said.

Warm-heartedness – Silent Songs of Sonsnow

“Honest concern for others is the key factor in improving our day to day lives. When you’re warm-hearted, there is no room for anger, jealousy or insecurity. A calm mind and self-confidence are the basis for happy and peaceful relations with each other.”

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Tennessee Is A Drag on the First Amendment

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee looks fetching in drag. The photo from the Franklin High School 1977 yearbook with the caption “Hard Luck Woman” shows a smiling Lee wigged out in a short dress and sporting a necklace of fake pearls. The apparel is so on-point that it is hard to tell that the future governor is indeed a man. As Rod Stewart once sang, he wears it well.

Forty-six years later, when the Daily Beast asked about the photo, Gov. Lee dismissed his youthful prank as part of “lighthearted school traditions” [that] shouldn’t be ‘conflated’ with the issue the state is banning.”
