Corporations Profiting from the Israeli OccupationIt’s not just defense contractors—many U.S.-based companies are profiting from business with Israel, directly or indirectly enabling the Israeli state’s crimes against Palestinians. The long-standing Israeli occupation and the current war on Gaza is big business for many U.S.-based defense contractors. The Defense RacketThe U.S. corporations with the most direct complicity in Israeli crimes, of course, are military contractors. Profiting From War, Occupation, and ApartheidLooking beyond weapons companies and their investors, plenty of other U.S. corporations are profiting from the brutal assault on Gaza and the Israeli occupation and apartheid more generally. The Israeli settler movement has long committed violent attacks against Palestinians, often with the implicit or explicit blessing of the Israeli armed forces.

The Governor’s Office is speaking out after what it calls “disproportionate attention for political reasons” on Florida’s recent measles outbreak compared to 16 other states dealing with the disease this year. “Once again, Florida has shown that good public health policy includes personal responsibility and parents’ rights,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. Conversely, Florida under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis has set the standard for public health with evidence-based leadership,” a press release from the Florida Department of Health recirculated by the Governor’s Office claims. The release is a response to controversy over how the office Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo handled a February measles outbreak at Manatee Bay Elementary.

Chinese nuclear power plants released wastewater containing tritium in 2022 at levels up to nine times higher than the amount expected to be found in the planned annual discharge from Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi complex, a public document showed Saturday. According to the latest China Nuclear Energy Yearbook, radioactive materials were investigated in 2022 at a total of 19 monitoring points at 13 nuclear power plants, such as the Qinshan complex in the eastern province of Zhejiang. The Japanese government said the Fukushima nuclear power plant was releasing about 2.2 trillion becquerels of tritium annually before it suffered meltdowns following a devastating earthquake and ensuing tsunami in March 2011. In July 2023, the International Atomic Energy Agency submitted a report to Japan, concluding that the Fukushima water discharge aligns with global safety standards, adding it will have a "negligible radiological impact on people and the environment." The treated water released from the Fukushima plant is diluted to reduce the tritium levels to less than one-40th of Japan's national safety standards.

Anderson reached the milestone when he had Kuldeep Yadav caught behind by Ben Foakes at the start of day three of the fifth Test. “I think he would like to knock Warne off and I don’t want to say he can’t get to Muralitharan! “Jesus, 700 is a lot, a lot of effort.”Ex-England seamer Finn hailed Anderson’s ability to adapt given the Lancashire veteran made his Test debut back in 2003. To get 700 wickets in 187 games is truly remarkable.”Anderson’s captain Ben Stokes insisted the 187-Test capped bowler should serve as inspiration for aspiring seamers.
