When people start ranting about Israel, there is one simple question I ask.
‘Where would you rather live, Tehran or Tel Aviv?’
Strangely, no one ever says Tehran.
BREAKING: Hezbollah has killed a United Nations soldier in Lebanon by launching two rockets at them.
The world should be outraged. Instead, we will hear either attempts to blame Israel, or total silence.

While humanitarian organisations warned of children being starved to death, hospitals were flattened and entire bloodlines wiped from existence, Robbie Keane chose to work just dozens of miles away from the devastation, in the country responsible for it, writes Kelly Given ✍️
This is a huge win for the pro-Palestine movement.
Huge moment for American democracy and our Congress. Voices like @HamawyForNJ have been missing from our legislature for years. A Muslim Arab-American doctor who served in the US military and then volunteered in Gaza.
The thing about libel is it has to be untrue.
A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out.
That’s apartheid. It’s just literally apartheid.
If you think apartheid is really evil, such that it’s a terrible thing to say about a country, well, you’re right, it is. That’s why we have an issue here.
