It's not a "jibe".

He said, with dignity and restraint, what we were all thinking - that Al-Obeid didn't just "die" - he, like tens of thousand of other innocent civilians, was killed by Israel as part of its ongoing programme of ethnic cleansing.

100%. Words matter

At least this inadequate pinhead is no longer on our screens

It's a good job that Loyalists marching the streets of Belfast brandishing Ulster Volunteer Force flags don't carry Palestine Action placards, or people might think they were terrorist sympathisers

I've seen more economically literate tapirs

Revealed: How the Meat Industry Uses Environmental Groups to Make Beef Seem Climate-Friendly Expert says non-profit partners provide a ‘fairy dust’ of legitimacy to beef industry.

The beef lobby playbook: confuse people about the science when it comes to cattle & climate, so you can have your beef & eat it too. Eco groups providing cover for the industry are “giving it a nice little fairy dusting of respectability” says @profsecchi.bsky.social

Congratulations to the buffalo....after all who doesn't love a hole in Juan!

Well said, Sarah. Grotesque let-them-eat-cake-ism from the nasty party
