A digital 3D model, displayed against a plain black background. White text above reads: “The Israel Defense Forces used a Scottish museum’s 3D models in propaganda videos.” The image is branded with The Ferret’s logo in the corner.

A months-long investigation by The Ferret and a group of international journalists found there have been 40 propaganda animations produced by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the past two years – including several using the Scottish Maritime Museum’s 3D scans

Once repackaged by the IDF, an electricity box from a Scottish museum workshop became part of a secret Iranian bunker, and a street corner from suburban Washington was proof of a Hamas command centre.

KNEECAP STATEMENT

14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us.

We deny this ‘offence’ and will vehemently defend ourselves.

This is political policing.

This is a carnival of distraction.

We are not the story. Genocide is.

As they profit from genocide, they use an ‘anti-terror law’ against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage.

A charge not serious enough to even warrant their ‘crown court’, instead a court that doesn’t have a jury. What’s the objective? To restrict our ability to travel.

To prevent us speaking to young people across the world.

To silence voices of compassion.

To prosecute artists who dare speak out.

Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification.

The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it. WE STAND PROUDLY WITH THE PEOPLE.

YOU STAND COMPLICIT WITH THE WAR CRIMINALS.

WE ARE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY.

YOU ARE NOT.

WE WILL FIGHT YOU IN YOUR COURT.

WE WILL WIN.

It’s just a bridge in Ballybough. That’s what most people see.

Really excellent points by @garygannontd.bsky.social here. I live right where he’s talking about and the level of neglect is palpable. Good enough for us feral northsiders seems to be the prevailing attitude: garygannontd.substack.com/p/its-just-a...

‘We walked him to the station
in the rain
We kissed him as we put him
on the train
We sang him a song of times long gone
For we knew that we’d be seeing him
again’ 💚

Who is Nigel Farage? Whatever the rights and wrongs of Nigel Farage having his elite bank account cancelled, let’s remember who he actually is

I haven't, and won't, watch the jungle show. For those unsure this is one of the people in it.

Nick Cave’s beautiful tribute to Shane MacGowan and indirectly Sinead O’Connor. Well worth 2 minutes of your time.
