Representatives from over 80 United Nations member states have denounced Israeli actions aimed at strengthening its authority over the occupied West Bank, where Palestinians assert they are experiencing a de facto annexation of their territory.

"Ceasefire"

They'd say that Iran has thousands of sleeper terrorist cells in the West and then they'd beat the drums of war even louder to manufacture the consent they need to justify their attack on Iran.

One set of rules for me, another set for thee.

Testimonies reveal: Israel systematically employs sexual violence in prisons – Palestinian prisoners subjected to rape, severe assaults, and humiliating degradations with devastating impact , Israel’s left-wing party Hadash says

It's one of those great unsolvable mysteries.

It made NO blip on this godforsaken site, but a few days ago numerous news sources broke that the Gaza Civil Defense had reported that around 3,000 Palestinians had partially or completely evaporated from US-manufactured bombs.

Well, today, they adjusted that number to 7,820.

#Gaza

Easily amongst the top three of all time in theme music intros for TV shows.

You still stopped the Romans from conquering Scotland for centuries so overall it's still pretty much in your favour.

Scotland avenge their 6 nations rugby loss to Italy over the weekend by beating them in the Cricket T20 world cup. I suggest a footy match to break the tie.

💥 #BREAKING | Nearly a MILLION Yemenis gathered at Al-Sab'een Square in Sanaa in support of Palestine, condemning the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza.

In fact, Germany rejected the 'one drop' rule that some states enforced- where a person was deemed black if they had any African ancestry at all, as 'too extreme' and too difficult to prove. America was, in fact, too racist for the Nazis.

Yesterday, settler terrorists in the West Bank set fire to villages and beat Palestinian residents of Masafer Yatta. In the aftermath, two Palestinian women were arrested. Zero settlers were arrested.

Probably the best explanation of why liberalism will never be a political movement but always just a line of selfish socio-economic thinking.

I get a renewed sense of belief every time I hear this.

They're not wrong at all.

Yep. I've been thinking the same thing. That's part of what all this ICE running amok is all about. The US is headed for a civil War and brutal repression of the populace at this rate. I feel sorry for you.

The imperial boomerang makes its reappearance.

Good point. I don't have an answer to that.

A little piece of Gaza, a little piece of the West Bank...

So, the US is taking a straight 40% cut of the proceeds. Nice little extortion racket they've started there.

Good on them.

Champagne sales will go through the roof when he does cross over that finish line.

You could probably make that same argument about Trump now.

I mean, if they're fucking around with the timeline they should think about bringing in Brutus/ Cassius cameo about now.

The US straight went from Caligula to Claudius back to Caligula again.

Donald Trump has not assembled a “Board of Peace” for Gaza.

He has assembled a Board of Occupation.

The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu.

That is up to the Palestinian people.

Frantz Fanon argued that Hitler's atrocities against Europeans was fundamentally the same violence and repression practiced by all the European powers in their own colonies.

You could argue that the real reason Europeans hated Hitler is that he brought the violence 'home'.

His maths is off I'm sure. If a company saves money on employee costs the government would have to tax that saving (~the extra profit) at 100% to generate the revenue needed to give a similar amount to the laid off worker. Otherwise it would run a deficit. Am I missing something?
