Two years on from the October 7 Hamas terror attack, Israel is a pariah state Even an end to the war will not alter the diplomatic trajectory that Israel faces, as it stares down the barrel of imminent and meaningful economic sanctions

Naftali Bennett: "The truth is clear. Israel's standing in the United States is collapsing." The country is increasingly viewed as a "pariah state".

Perhaps a small glimmer of hope can be gleaned from that stark admission.

The leading candidate in the Irish presidential election, Catherine Connolly. Here she talks about why the establishment fears women.

Not enough Americans knew it when they saw it…or recognized the billions of dollars being poured into the social media brainwashing.
They didn’t listen to those of us SCREAMING the warnings back in 2015.
You need to educate your populace NOW to stop it.
Knowing their tactics is the 1st defense.

Greta Thunberg releases a video describing the conditions faced by Palestinian adults and children in Israeli custody after her release.

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law “I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

“I'm very hopeful that they will now give their votes to me".

If anyone knows who took the photo pass it on please!

Borrowed here from a lovely @garygannontd.bsky.social message earlier.

It's never about the value of one individual. But there is an undeniable power in how the actions of this one individual reveal, through the unity of politics, ethics, and moral clairty their actions express, how the character of those in charge are so cheap. And that is a deeply threatening thing.

Yep. 👍

Hello, I have been suspended for a post accusing me of threatening violence. If you look at the thread the post is part of, 1 am describing the evangelical belief system about the rapture, which includes the mass murder of Jews. I, a Jew, was not making threats against Jews. I, a Jew, was educating about the dangers that the evangelical community poses to Jews in order to *protect us* This is obviously and clearly not a threat or an excuse for suspension. Please reinstate my account.

Here is how I appealed the suspension. It took them about an hour to respond. All in all I was down for about 4 hours.
