Very accurate. Two of my all time favourite books.

[Gordon MacMillan @gordonmacmillan]

I keep thinking Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life and A God in Ruins should be talked about far more than they are. Not because they’re obscure, but because they’re quietly radical. Time, war, memory, the routes our lives take. https://t.co/sMCaPCtF5z

Fun fact about this film: the energy used to make it was generated entirely by George Orwell's body spinning in his grave

@O2 hi someone keeps calling me saying they’re from o2 and that I have to swap my sim because of the switch to 5g. Is this a scam?

Two Types of Recognition
—
There are two types of countries now announcing their intention to recognize a Palestinian state: those doing it against us—like Ireland and Spain—and those doing it because they think they’re supporting us—like France and Britain, and certainly Germany.

I’m not sure which is more infuriating: the ones doing it deliberately, for reasons that clearly contain more than a trace of antisemitism, or the ones who—driven by no small amount of condescension—believe they know better than we do what’s good for us.

The problem, of course, is not that France recognizes a Palestinian state. That won’t actually make it come into being. The problem is that they aren’t asking the basic questions: What are its borders? What is its capital? Who governs it? What kind of government will it have? Will it be a democracy? Does it support the right of return? Does it have the ability to prevent Hamas from taking over the moment it’s created?

That last question is one I’ve been asking many of my self-righteous European friends and acquaintances in recent days. Unsurprisingly, they don’t have an answer. They haven’t really thought it through. If the Palestinian state they support is destined to become another failed, murderous terror state—toward its own people and toward Jews—do they still support it?

It’s nice that they want a progressive, prosperous, democratic Palestinian state, where people in Ramallah sit in cafés debating Sartre and Camus. But we all know that’s not what’s going to happen. If the world recognizes a Palestinian state without demanding anything of the Palestinians, they’ll draw one conclusion: that they don’t need to make any effort.

Why would they? If after thirty years of Palestinian Authority corruption and violence, after Abbas canceled elections and denied Palestinians democracy, after Hamas took over Gaza and brought us the horror of October 7, the next thing that happens is global recognition of a Palestinian state—then clearly, from their perspective, they must be doing something right.

If Europe genuinely wants a Palestinian state to come into being one day, it needs to do the opposite: demand that the Palestinians change. That they prove they can be democratic, that they know how to fight terror, that they can clean out corruption. Declaring support for those who handed out candy in the streets of Nablus and Hebron on the morning of October 7 does not advance a two-state solution. If anything, it pushes it further away.

[Rachel Johnson @RachelSJohnson]

Despite Gaza the righteous Gentiles must speak up about the virus of antisemitism that is becoming a global pandemic.

"Gaza is starving. Hamas is surviving. Israelis are dying. Moral leadership means acting on all of this. Now. THIS MUST END."

Powerful words from @JewishNewsUK

[Jewish News @JewishNewsUK]

We need to talk. Not in whispers and disclaimers. Not by skirting around the edges of horror. We need to say something simple, difficult and Jewish.

THIS MUST END.

Families that have been murdered by Hamas on Oct 7🧵
1/ The Kotz family. They were found dead in their home at kibbutz Kfar Aza embracing each other. They were buried side by side.
