Bed time story for small babies from someone who advocated Israel murder Palestinian journalists for the crime of making Israel and the US look bad. If you’re still moved or impressed by this middlebrow, power-flattering schlock in 2026 you should be forced use a bib and binky
Look at this photo.
A woman holds up a noose and a lethal injection, celebrating Israeli plans to introduce the death penalty for Palestinians.
Her husband holds a gun labelled 'occupation', a plane labelled 'expulsion', and a house labelled 'settlement'.
This grinning, leering spectre is the deputy speaker of the Knesset, the Israeli Parliament.

The fact that your government has made it illegal for me to answer yes is a damning testament to your flagrant disregard for civil liberties.
This may be targeted at those taking action against the genocide, but it sets a very dangerous precedent that puts everyone at risk.
At the request of the illegal “Havat Maon” settlers, Israeli forces detained five Palestinian children, aged 8–12, for gathering wild vegetables and flowers near the settlement.
The level of complicity of the @BBC in the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon is shocking. I am listening to their Jerusalem correspondent report that the ‘IDF are striking Hezbollah targets’ while I’m on the ground in the middle of it watching men, women and children being killed on a daily basis. My colleagues are being executed. Paramedics are being systematically murdered. All of this is happening in plain sight and the BBC correspondent here in Lebanon knows it.
May you all be put on trial for your deadly propaganda when the time comes. Shame on all of you, especially those on the ground who are too cowardly to speak out.
Feels like neo-nazis performing Nazi salutes to a Jewish man in public should be apart of the current conversation about antisemitism... but the media consensus seems to be that Zack Polanski is one of the Bad Kinds Of Jew and therefore it's not really important.
“Israel continued its large-scale bombing of Hezbollah targets” - NYT
“Israeli jets drop 160 bombs on Hezbollah targets” - LA Times
“Israel's military called it the largest coordinated strike in the current war, striking more than 100 Hezbollah targets within 10 mins” - PBS/AP
We're on the verge of a genocidal, nuclear war that our supposed "ally" has said he's ready to unleash.
Would it be too much to ask for the Prime Minister to have something to say about it? Or do?
Suspend US bases now.
Terrifying reality check. Al Jazeera confirms the US and Israel have bombed over 760 schools and 350 health centers in Iran. They are intentionally obliterating mental health hospitals and residential markets. The scale of these war crimes is absolutely sickening.
IDF Commander stomps on 4 year old kid to kill him and says “these kids need to be killed from the day they are born”.

Just another routine day for “our greatest ally”
Before Fidel, Cuba was not some balanced, diversified "free market" farm paradise.
It was a U.S. sugar monoculture with land concentrated in latifundia, serving one buyer, in one currency, for one purpose.
Sugar for the empire.
Tourism for the empire.
Mafias, casinos, and brothels for the empire.
That was your "economic fundamentals."
When you turn a country into a plantation, it will import a lot of its food.
Because the best land is reserved for export crops that serve foreign profit, not local nutrition.
The revolution inherited that structure.
Cuba did not start from "normal economy" and then ruin it with Marxism.
It started from a gangster client state, where Washington and a tiny local elite owned the soil.
What did Fidel do?
He broke the plantations.
He redistributed land.
He sent literacy brigades into the countryside.
He turned a semi-feudal island into a society where peasants could become doctors, engineers, and teachers.
Then the United States answered that audacity with:
Bay of Pigs.
Economic embargo.
Terror campaigns.
Permanent attempts to isolate and starve the island.
You act as if the USSR "feeding" Cuba was proof of Fidel’s incompetence.
In reality, it was the only major power willing to trade with a country Washington was trying to strangle.
Cuba sent sugar, citrus, nickel, and workers.
The USSR sent oil, machinery, grain, and yes, food.
That is called trade and specialization.
Japan, the Gulf monarchies, Singapore, South Korea, many European states import large portions of their food.
Nobody calls that a failure of "economic fundamentals."
They call it comparative advantage.
It only becomes "proof of incompetence" when a socialist country does it under siege.
You say, "In the end, this folklore hero achieved nada."
Nothing?
He took a U.S. playground of casinos and child prostitution and turned it into a country with:
Universal literacy.
Life expectancy comparable to rich countries.
Infant mortality rates lower than many U.S. cities.
One of the highest doctor-per-capita ratios in the world.
Medical brigades that went to Africa, Latin America, even to Western countries during crises.
Under embargo.
Under permanent sabotage.
Ninety miles from a state that spends more on its military than most of the planet combined.
If that is "nada," what do you call a superpower that spends trillions on war and still has people rationing insulin, drowning in student debt, and sleeping under bridges?
You reduce six decades of resistance to a meme about "importing two-thirds of its food."
I look at the same history and see this:
A small island that refused to be a plantation.
A people who were told, "Surrender and we will feed you properly."
A leadership that answered, "We would rather be poor with a spine than rich on our knees."
You want to score a cheap point about Fidel’s "folklore."
But the real folklore is the story you are selling:
That a country under embargo, sabotage, terror, and economic siege should be judged by the same metrics as the empire that besieged it, and if it is not equally rich, the problem must be "communist incompetence."
Cuba’s real "crime" was not bad economics.
Its crime was proving that a small, Black and brown island could kick the United States out and still refuse to crawl back for forgiveness.
That is why people like you need to keep repeating that it "achieved nothing."
Because if you ever admitted what it actually achieved under those conditions, you would have to ask a much more uncomfortable question:
What would Cuba have become without the boot on its neck?
Ed Davey knows it's Israel. Everyone in that room knows it's Israel. The whole country knows it's Israel. Why must we continue with this fucking ridiculous charade?
Remember Hind Rajab.
Just 6 years old. She sat for hours on the phone to paramedics with 6 murdered family members around her.
She told them “They are shooting at us. The tank is next to me.”
The Red Cross waited hours for Israel to permit them rescue her.
When the ambulance that was cleared to rescue arrived they executed the medics and then murdered her putting 355 bullets into the car she was in.
Her final words to paramedics and recorded were "I’m so scared, please come".
