Debating Israel Supporters Is Pointless, Because They Don't Care About Facts Or Morality Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Debating Israel Supporters Is Pointless, Because They Don't Care About Facts Or Morality

Their goal is never to communicate or to have a conversation, itโ€™s to advance the information interests of a genocidal apartheid state.

Nick Tenconi. Leader of UKIP, last Friday. I have intentionally slowed the clip to demonstrate exactly what he is doing, to avoid any confusion. This sort of thing has become more normalised in so-called Western democracies. Whilst demonstrating against genocide, can get you arrested.

Honoured to speak at todayโ€™s rally in #Nagasaki on 80th anniversary of US dropping nuclear bomb which killed over 70,000 by the end of 1945 & tens of thousand more since then. Shamefully our own Government continues to drive nuclear proliferation, making the world more dangerous @cnduk.bsky.social

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

โ€œThis is my local community. Iโ€™m worried about my children.โ€

Thatโ€™s what a woman told GB News at the anti-migrant protest at the Barbican in London.

Problem is, she said the same thing at a protest in Epping days earlier. ๐Ÿคฆ โŒ

I often say that reporting on sex testing in sports is like reporting on a really twisted, 100 year game of wack-a-mole where we see the same things happen over and over. This is a great example. (A short thread, if you'll indulge me.)
