Actress and activist Emma Watson has received harsh criticism from Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan for expressing solidarity with Palestine and sharing pro-Palestine posts on social media. Erdan’s criticism shifted Watson’s sentiments to claiming that she supports Hamas and acts of “terror” from the Palestinian Authority. Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola discuss on The Young Turks.

Watson’s January 2 post featured various pro-Palestinian protesters holding “Free Palestine” signs and the words “Solidarity is a verb.” Her caption included a lengthy quote from feminist scholar Sara Ahmed stating in part that solidarity “involves commitment, and work, as well as the recognition that even if we do not have the same feelings, or the same lives, or the same bodies, we do live on common ground.” Erdan tweeted out a screenshot of Watson’s post and wrote: “Fiction may work in Harry Potter but it does not work in reality. If it did, the magic used in the wizarding world could eliminate the evils of Hamas (which oppresses women & seeks the annihilation of Israel) and the PA [Palestinian Authority] (which supports terror). I would be in favor of that!” Erdan was referencing the fact that Watson starred in the Harry Potter movies as the character Hermione Granger.” *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.

The company further stated that calls from correctional facilities are recorded by default, and that private numbers, such as attorneys, must be added to a list to prevent the system from recording calls. “If a number is not registered as private and the called party ignores the warning, the call to that number will be recorded,” the company wrote. “On rare occasion[s], this has resulted in the inadvertent recording of calls to unregistered attorney numbers.” […]
Securus’ audits in New York, however, revealed more than 100 Brooklyn defense attorney phone numbers did not wind up on the do-not-record list despite requests for privacy. Defense attorneys in Maine, California, and Texas have raised similar objections, and some private defense attorneys have waited for over a year to end up on a jail’s call list in New Orleans, according to a report produced by Court Watch NOLA, a non-profit. One sheriff does not allow unrecorded calls between attorneys on their cell phones and clients, Court Watch NOLA’s executive director Simone Levine told Motherboard. […]
But Securus claimed it is actively implementing changes to prevent the recording of calls with attorneys by adding an option which lets incarcerated people specify when they believe a call being made is private. If this option is selected and the number is not on the facility’s list, the call will not be completed, according to the company.
“guys, guys, don’t worry, we only record numbers that aren’t on our special list (that we curate). we’ll just make it so that instead of being recorded, they just won’t be able to call their attorneys at all! we see nothing wrong with this idea. it’s definitely not more fucking dystopian than systemically recording conversations in the first place!”
Hundreds of thousands of revolutionary workers took to the streets of Berlin on January 5, 1919 to protest the appointment of a new Social Democratic police chief, initiating the short-lived Spartacist Uprising.
