The IDF has been accused of horrific war crimes in Gaza by the UN Human Rights Council & Amnesty International.
It is just common sense that those involved in war crimes should be held to account.
These are serious accusations. They are also false.
Throughout this campaign, I’ve been open about a very dark period of my life, when I struggled with undiagnosed PTSD. I'm not proud of the man I once was, but I'm proud of the man I am today, and of the movement we've built.
British concentration camps were setup in Kenya in 1952 by Winston Churchill because they tried to rebel.
90,000 Kenyans were killed, tens of thousands tortured and many more starved and forced to work as slaves for years.
Kyle Kulinski on Platner: “If you’re a so-called liberal and feeding into this smear campaign, let me be clear: you are a fucking traitor and you don’t give a shit about taking down MAGA. You’re a useful idiot for the fascist war criminal pedophile rapist that is Donald Trump”
Graham Platner should have instead said "Not nuking these fucking animals is the only restraint I expect and that's only because the cloud would hurt Israelis" and then the media class would deem him acceptable.
Running uncorroborated claims on Platner from an ex-girlfriend who is a professional Republican operative is outrageous from the New York Times. It's consistent with their biased treatment of candidates skeptical of Israel.
@paulpowlesland The major problem here @paulpowlesland is that everything is outsourced.
There is now internal capacity or knowledge to do this.
I imagine a simple project like this would be consulted on and cost millions.
Why is Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon breaking his promise to make London’s rivers swimmable?
One of the most eye-catching promises the Mayor made to get elected, was to make London’s rivers swimmable. But halfway through his term he has made no progress towards this goal, & seems to be quietly dropping this goal on the basis that it isn’t achievable.
However, as a guardian of London’s third biggest river, who knows the river better than most, I know it is a completely achievable goal with effort & imagination. Further, the volunteer charity I run put forward a detailed plan to make the Roding swimmable, which was rejected by the Mayor’s Grow Back Greener fund without explanation. Here’s a thread, on how the Mayor can live up to his promises 🧵
Every hit piece on a Democratic candidate should probably note that the candidate they're up against in the fall votes along with Trump's fascist death cult.
The BBC make me physically feel sick.
BBC News is running a strapline: "Israel and Lebanon agree ceasefire if Hezbollah stops attacks".
Which is astoundingly dishonest framing.
