• West votes against democracy, human rights, cultural diversity at UN; promotes mercenaries, sanctions
• West opposes rest of world in UN votes for fairer economic system, equality, sustainable development
• China condemns ‘racist’ Western hypocrisy over Ukraine: You ignore victims in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Palestine
• Pro-Palestine activists are under attack in Europe
• Censorship in Europe: Major Palestinian news channels banned on Telegram
• Two months after elections, Macron refuses to nominate progressive prime minister
• Facebook and Instagram Restrict the Use of the Red Triangle Emoji Over Hamas Association
• The 10 European countries that restrict religious attire for Muslim women
• EU court allows conditional headscarves bans at work
