Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Some exciting BRICS news.

Snip:

Palestine’s ambassador in Moscow, Abdel Hafeez Nofal, said on 26 August that Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas had received an invitation from President Vladimir Putin to attend the upcoming BRICS summit.

“After our first participation in the BRICS summit, we will send a request to join this association,” Nofal revealed.

Note, this year's BRICS summit will be held in Kazan, the capital city of the Russian Federation's Republic of Tatarstan.

I wanna be more optimistic, but isn't the PA largely controlled or influenced by Israel?

PA has reconciled with Hamas. Israel finally went too far for the compradores I guess.

Unfortunately, to a large extent, it is. However, joining the BRICS would basically mean the BRICS recognizing the existence of a Palestinian state. That would definitely represent a big diplomatic defeat for Tel Aviv.

I mean all the individual member states already recognise Palestine right?

yes, but they signed some type of unity agreement with hamas during the beijing summit last month. i'm not sure what the actual implications of this are, but it feels significant?

My bad. I somehow missed this. It might be the gray haze so much of this shit has put me into.
