like there is absolutely no way to not understand this as collective punishment, right? there's no fig leaf of it being about Hamas

Wow you got fucked up in the head

The current page on Zionism is factually accurate while the old ones whitewashed a settler colonial ideology.

Damn looks like wikipedia got better

Happening in the US too it's terrible. The clinic my brother went to stopped offering care to minors

Wait did they ban hormones for trans kids

Can someone **** **** all these British newspapers offices already

Wow that's awful, why did they think people voted for them... To be Tories 2.0?

if you want to read the paper that one of evolutionary biology's most embarrassing bigots called "abysmal", you're in luck! it's open access :)

Jerry coyne was a new atheist??

I tried some appeals already but I'll try at some point
