The reform party nativity scene.

No unmarried mothers. No Middle Eastern people. No refugees. No people seeking emergency accommodation.

I know this is Ireland, but I think Palestine will matter in elections worldwide...Mamdani is a good indication. Honestly, if it won't matter...if people watched a live streamed genocide for 2 years and then forget about it during the next election...you might as well throw humanity into the trash

It's too late for Labour. They've moved too far to the right and kicked out anything and anyone that even smells of left-wing. Going to take them *years* to wind back now. In current form they are toast.

Great article about the amazing Palestinian robotics team. For years my dream as a filmmaker was to portray Palestinians unrelated to war and occupation, but I was never allowed to do it. I'm always so happy when journalists tell these stories instead. Thank you Ben.

An absolute masterclass in obfuscation from the BBC.

The scare quotes make a fact into an allegation, the headline suggests that they are struggling to find signs of torture, which is ABSOLUTELY not the case

The article explains that Israel destroyed all the forensic equipment and hospitals

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Leading lights of the British press, ladies and gentlemen. Not all of them are racist cranks but racist cranks do seem to feel very welcome within their ranks, don’t they.

Maccabi football thugs are not a proxy for β€œthe Jews” by virtue of being Israeli. This idea is actually pretty bigoted.

They are football hooligans.

What the fuck is wrong with everybody.

The cops have now put up with two years of being called racist terrorist-coddling Islamists by clueless dickheads and malicious fash cranks. I’m surprised they’re this restrained, given several very precise, quite damaging Fuck Yous would be much more appropriate.

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were banned because of information from Interpol in Europe, who passed it on to the Home Office, who gave it to the Police, who banned them.

Is our Government really going to endanger the safety of our citizens just so it doesn't upset Israel?

I could write you a book but the basic reason is: they are highly unpleasant, self-centred psychos who have deeply committed themselves and the national press to their drivel and horseshit, so they now can’t do anything else but roar bullshit and drivel, to maintain the fiction as long as possible.

Very jarring how the media treats some lives as inherently and others not.

I am happy for hostages and their families to be reunited, but it’s shocking how little media attention is given to β€œhow do Gazans grapple with the utter destruction of their homes, vast loss of lives, and ongoing famine.”

Congrats to all the people who have postured as intelligent and morally righteous for years but decided that they couldn’t take a stand against genocide or decided to justify and cheer on the massacre of a people for whatever reason. Now they can go back to playing the intellectual in peace.

The Corbyn witch-hunt was the fully bared razor white teeth of the establishment and all its mechanisms of power

They would not suffer a popular leftist to live.

So when they had the opportunity to use Israel to tear him down they swarmed like locusts

"In September 2020 β€œGordstein” was one of three complainants against Riva Joffe, an 80-year-old Jewish veteran of the anti-Apartheid struggle in South Africa. 

Her sin was to have described Israel as an Apartheid state (a view shared by Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and the Israeli human rights organisation B’tselem) and to have urged Jeremy Corbyn to stand up to the β€œZionist lobby.”

The Labour Party opened a formal investigation and Joffe spent the closing days of her life penning an immensely dignified response from her death bed. β€œThis frenzy of purging you are driven to – it’s not the behaviour of mature adults. It smacks of desperation, fear and panic,” she wrote.

Joffe lived in Starmer’s constituency and knew him personally. But a direct request on behalf of her son that the charges against her be posthumously dropped did not even elicit a response."

Recognising Palestinian state helped get ceasefire, says Starmer The PM says the Gaza deal belongs to Trump - but insists the UK played a key role behind the scenes.

This is pathetic.

The Prime Minister did less than nothing to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians as they were mass murdered indiscriminately by the State of Israel.

Now he wants a pat on the back for his imaginary role in a ceasefire.

Scoundrel.
