I support old people. I am always saying that the problem with the Democratic caucus is that there aren't enough octogenarians and near octogenarians

Only a Labour briefcase guy would think abolishing bad things is a gotcha for a political party.

If you find yourself saying things about machines that you would never say about people, I have to assume that it’s because machines aren’t people

A second flotilla in less than a week is headed towards Gaza tonight and it has a significant amount of Turkish citizens on it

them are the rules 🤷🏼

Omar Bartov outet sich bei Jung & Naiv als BDSler und nennt israelische Institutionen "gleichgeschaltet".

This is also plainly wrong, the margin between Bush and Gore was 0.5% (47.9 vs 48.4, yes Gore had more votes than Bush). The margin in 2024 was three times that at 1.5% (49.8 vs 48.3).

The one thing liberals love more than winning is losing and telling everyone it wasn't their fault.

Jess Waters recycling the same guy over and over to represent “former” different enemies

“folding the Oct 7 attacks into a Holocaust narrative seems…unsurprising given the role played by Holocaust memory in Israeli national consciousness. But also…a little absurd considering what the State of Israel sought to provide Jews in contrast to the helplessness of Jewish victims in Europe.”

"In the context of Germany, the problem of appropriation becomes ethically fraught as non-Jewish Germans — the beneficiaries of Nazism and the Holocaust — can, through experiencing the exhibition, in fact imagine themselves as a Jewish victim."

“We need to be able to reach people in safety and in dignity, and that's what we were able to do during the ceasefire,” says UNRWA Sam Rose.

With its unique footprint in #Gaza, UNRWA must be part and parcel of the agreement being discussed.

Die Satire-Kolumne in der taz über einen 'Gaza-Erlebnispark' hat viele sehr geärgert. Doch genau das machte sie so genial & subversiv: Eigentlich beschrieb sie haargenau die aktuelle, vom Berliner Senat finanzierten Nova-Ausstellung - nur andersrum, aufgrund des Zensurklimas in deutschen Medien.

two birds one stone

Net even past the first two paragraphs and already two giant OOFs.

People being upset that Mamdani said that Hamas committed crimes should remember that Hamas themselves accepted that their soldiers committed crimes and agreed to an investigation by interantional courts if Israel agrees to the same process. Israel did not agree.

Matt Kennard @kennardmatt X.com NEW: A source very close to the senior leadership of MI6 has got in contact. They wanted to make public the opposition within the intelligence agency to the proscription of Palestine Action. Senior figures are said to feel it is a distraction from the battle against real terrorist threat - and should never have happened. The source has been verified.

Keith losing his own employer is so on brand

Mamdani as well as Polanski are good at this stuff because this statement isn't the result of consultants referring back to focus groups but a result of a comms team that at it's core asks questions like "what does our common humanity dictate we say?"

This is maybe the best statement a politician has made on this horrific anniversary.

lets not

I mean yes, there is this inherent racism that if you let Jews live among Palestinians then they will inevitably murdered.

This article evolves around the issue of Israel not being a "lifeboat" for European and North American Jews anymore.

sorry guys, it's either Israelis or Palestinians being murdered there's nothing else we can do unless you can time travel.

This isn't a lack of imagination btw, it's simply someone who can't be arsed engaging with the issue.

Dass ich alles besser weis hat nichts mit meinem Wessi sein zu tun sondern weil ich Schwabe bin.

Dieses Phänomen ist ein Mix von typisch deutschem 'ich zeig alles an was mir nicht passt' und übereifrigem anti-Antisemitismus bei dem alles was nicht nett über Israel redet der erste Schritt zu einem neuen Jahrhundertverbrechen ist.

Bingo! Wer Woke heute als Begriff ernst nimmt hätte früher auch Judäo-Bolschewismus als Begriff ernst genommen.
