Civil liberties are the foundation of any good society. The only effective government comes from the bottom up by common consent. Free speech absolutist.

John Mearsheimer explains how the Israel lobby in the United States operates:

“This is not a case of all these politicians loving Israel and feeling they have to support Israel because it shares our values or is a strategic asset

they do it in good part out of FEAR, fear that the lobby will put its crosshairs on them…”

For years, Ulrike Guérot was one of Germany’s most respected political scientists. But after she criticised the pandemic response and the proxy war in Ukraine, she was subjected to a Stasi-like campaign of persecution.

I wrote about her incredible story:

In this “shooting and crying” article in @haaretzcom, an “Israeli” pilot asserts that some of the children he slaughters are high-ranking Hamas commanders. I guess that’s one way to cope with being a baby murderer https://t.co/oDrOUZUmPx

This is who you wanted Palestinians to vote for? This was supposed to be the “lesser evil”? Here she is celebrating the release of an IOF terrorist who was ON DUTY when taken by Hamas. Here she is admiring the “strength and courage” of someone who left home to kill civilians.

New study:

Elephant seals only breed in sea-ice-free water; 54.5°S is the farthest south breeding site today.

DNA evidence reveals a 2500-1000-year-old Cape Hallett (72.3°S) site, meaning the Medieval/Roman era sea ice limit was 2000 km south of today's.

@BigWayneConley You think this is news? Israelis have been doing this to Palestinian women and girls since the 1940s. They do it to Israeli women and girls too, and it's almost never prosecuted. Rape culture.

Netanyahu has been desperately trying to shore up support in the America First movement. To ensure it is dominated by Israel First assets.

This is what Douglas Murray, Jordan Peterson and Tim Pool are for.

He is trying to make sure that the so-called ‘noticers’, including Candace Owens, Lucas Gage, Stew Peters and especially Nick Fuentes, don’t make further inroads on huge platforms like that of Joe Rogan.

When you see what Trump appears to be up to, it’s clear that Netanyahu is becoming desperate.

Israel assassinated journalist Hasan Eslaih in the burn unit of Nasser hospital where he was receiving treatment following Israel’s previous attempt to assassinate him on April 7. The U.S. is facilitating these war crimes and most Western journalists remain totally silent.

Former UK Special Forces members admit to committing horrendous war crimes in Afghanistan, including:

-Handcuffing a boy and shooting him

-Murdering sleeping civilians

-Executing detainees

This is the same UK that lectures the rest of the world on human rights and democracy

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

The murder of a journalist in a hospital bed is a double war crime that ought really to be a news story - and of particular concern to journalists.

As far as I can see - not a squeak in western media.

As DPP, Starmer appointed the lawyer whose report he says clears him of the Savile non-prosecution.

She is married to Lord Carlile, close friend of serial paedophile Greville Janner, both patrons of Lawyers for Israel; and of paedophile Cyril Smith.

From my archive but worth revisiting.

“I saw the quietest guys switch, show serious psychopathic traits. They were lawless. They felt untouchable.”

Newly released eyewitness testimony from former UK Special Forces members gives a detailed account of systemic, routine, and approved unlawful killings by British troops in Afghanistan and Iraq — with war crimes allegations stretching over a decade.

For the first time, the Royal Navy’s elite SBS unit is accused of executing unarmed and wounded individuals. “They handcuffed a young boy and shot him,” one veteran recalled. “He was clearly a child, not even close to fighting age.”

In one SAS incident, an operator allegedly slit the throat of a wounded Afghan man — to “blood his knife” — after stopping an officer from shooting him again.

These were not isolated incidents, multiple former soldiers said, but part of a pattern embedded in the chain of command. “Everyone knew. There was implicit approval,” one recalled.

Veterans describe a culture where the laws of war were deliberately broken. Officers allegedly helped falsify post-op reports to avoid scrutiny. “The reports were a fiction,” one UKSF veteran said.

When narratives risked triggering investigations, legal advisers would coach operators on how to rewrite events:
“Do you remember someone making a sudden move?”
“Oh yeah, I do now.”

Panorama also reveals that David Cameron, then Prime Minister, was repeatedly warned that British forces were killing civilians.

Zionism will always be in direct conflict with justice, liberation and universal human rights. We see this over and over again when Zionists erode rights and undermine justice everywhere they go to serve their interests. Zionism is incompatible with a sustainable, peaceful future

Radical Israeli war hawks are livid they Edan Alexander won’t meet with Netanyahu after Netanyahu did everything possible to keep him from getting released. There is a delusional element to Israeli politics that has come unglued from reality.
