Israel just deliberately bombed UN peacekeepers in Lebanon.
This violates International Humanitarian Law (IHL), Geneva Conventions, Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), 1994 Convention, the UN Charter and Security Council Mandates.
Israel's impunity must end! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Criticizing Israel based on facts is not antisemitic.
That Israel is an apartheid state is a fact.
As a Jew, I can't ignore the truth of Israel's war crimes, crimes against Palestinians, or other injustices. Doing so only makes ALL OF US unsafe.
The very happy lion is featured on an illuminated letter E of Queen Elizabeth I on our 1581 Charter.
The lion like the letter is in fact not 16th century but a copy from 1910.
Still roarsome though. 😉
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
TSA still isn't getting paid while DHS is shut down. At some point, sickouts and other wildcat strikes, or just straight up attrition, are going to remove capacity and cause long lines to start to snarl at airports across America.
Unless something suddenly causes people to fly a lot less.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
Important elections news via Unlock Democracy:
The government has announced it will repeal controversial Conservative changes that granted ministers a new power to influence the elections’ watchdog. Big win for democracy campaigners.
Israel has closed off Gaza entirely, using its unprovoked attacks on Iran as an excuse to seal off an entire population from receiving food & medical aid.
Genocide in Gaza continues..

A resident was forced to abandon the home that's been in her family for generations after xAI parked gas turbines across the street. "I do feel like xAI is playing by a different set of rules."
This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.
The Israelis just bombed Beirut.
"Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff on Sunday that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack U.S. forces first." www.reuters.com/world/us/pen...
This started as a single tip about one building but on a hunch we got @pollysmythe.bsky.social to chase around London and check all the Aziz family’s properties. Sometimes she got there just before the eviction notices. The scale of the clearout is enormous – and we don't think we found all of it.
