It is truly astonishing that Keir Starmer & Ed Sheeran did not shed a tear for over 70,000 people slaughtered in Gaza, but wept when they lost their job & their musicians respectively. This is sociopathic narcissism
KPMG manager Yuen Lee says she was fired after Jewish billionaire Bill Ackman posted a video of her calling a man a “Zionist pig” and tagging her employer 😳
“Died a coward. Could have died a hero.”
That is how the @mobbs_mentality daughter of Keith Kellogg, Donald Trump’s former special envoy for Ukraine, comments under my post about the death of Volodymyr, 32, who drowned in a river while fleeing draft officers.
A representative of the American establishment — someone who sacrifices nothing in this war, whose family members are not being killed, maimed, disappeared, or tortured in captivity — feels entitled to lecture Ukrainian men on the proper way to die.
And yes, die is precisely the word.
Because apparently, living is no longer an acceptable option for them.
They must die.
Preferably heroically. Preferably on the battlefield.
Then the Epstein class can walk alongside Zelensky, lay flowers on their graves, and deliver stirring speeches about avenging them on Russia — while feeding still more Ukrainian men into the same machinery of death.
Volodymyr was a veteran. He had already seen the horrors of war.
This time, he did not want to be a hero.
He wanted to watch his son grow up.
He did not want to die.
But people like Meaghan left Ukrainian men like him no acceptable way out. And so he died anyway.
And now people like Meaghan sneer at his death because, apparently, the only Ukrainian man worthy of respect is a dead Ukrainian man-soldier — provided he dies the “right” way.
Heroically.
On the battlefield.
A Ukrainian man who simply wants to live, to raise his child, to come home alive?
Apparently, that is asking too much.
So. Damn. Sad.
Latino festival virtually empty.
People are terrified to participate in their own cultural events because of ICE repression.
I will stand up for people facing this sort of fear.
Israel was founded on May 14, 1948. Research by Israeli historians Benny Morris and Benjamin Z. Kedar, drawing on declassified military archives, documents Haganah/IDF biological operations contaminating wells with typhoid bacteria beginning in April 1948 and continuing into May (e.g., Acre epidemic, Gaza attempt on May 22-23). Zero years passed; the actions were concurrent with the state's establishment amid the 1948 war.
I’m so proud of you Azeez.
My brother, who went to Jordan to be with Palestinian refugees this summer. Who spends time with Palestinian children with missing limbs in Houston. Who is using every week of his pro bowl NFL career to honor a Palestinian child despite the fines.
This week it’s Wafaa Akila who was only 8 years old when she was murdered in an Israeli airstrike.
In the sports and entertainment arenas run by many of the same types of people who run government, choose to be like @A_train2_@KyrieIrving and @macklemore.
الدكتور منير البرش أحد أهم الأصوات التي دحضت الدعاية الإسرائيلية خلال الحرب والتي حاولت تصوير المستشفيات وكأنها ساحات معارك لتبرير تفجيرها واقتحامها، هذا الرجل العظيم فقد اليوم ابنه الثالث، شهيداً، بعد قصف إسرائيلي غادر، ربط الله على قلبه وألهمه وأهله ومن تبقى من عائلته الصبر والسلوان…!
Not enough people know that a Jewish oligarch in Russia tried to transfer his Oil assets to the Rothschilds when he knew Putin was going to strip him of them.
Then Putin stripped them both of their assets and returned them to the Russian people.
Based Putin.
Israelis love to travel to India.
Many come on the what is known as the “Hummus trail” to rest, replenish, and apparently seek forgiveness.
Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Rajasthan, along with union territories like Goa, Ladakh, and Puducherry, see a steady, high-volume influx of Israeli visitors year-round.
I came face to face with these soul-searchers during a recent visit to Rishikesh, a Hindu holy town and one of the trail’s best-known stops.
Here, I was immediately struck by how the Israeli presence had merged into a place built around Hindu pilgrimage and spiritual practice.
Cafés serving ‘Israeli’ cuisine and Shabbat meals, signage in Hebrew, and local shopkeepers who have picked up enough of the language to serve their customers.
Rishikesh calls itself the “yoga capital of the world”, yet during my visit I encountered so many Israeli-led workshops that you might have thought Israelis had invented yoga, too.
Many Israelis also own shops selling healing crystals, “indigenous” herbs and teas, and “first-aid kits” for psychological and spiritual healing.
I felt I had entered a shopping mall for self-help.
🚨 JUST IN: Houston Texans star Azeez Al-Shaair fined earlier this week for wearing Hind Rajab’s name on his eye black, wrote Wafaa Akila’s name on it before the game today.
Wafaa Akila. 8 years old. First day of school. The IDF took her life in a targeted strike in Gaza.
Prof. Ivan Katchanovski, ucraino: L'indagine della polizia ucraina conferma le mie ricerche. Il “rapimento, tortura e crocifissione da parte di agenti russi” di Dmytro Bulatov leader di Maidan nel 2014, fu autoinflitto e inscenato dai suoi facendogli ferite con strumenti sterili.
Ed Sheeran performed at Lincoln Financial Field last night, only two and a half hours later than planned. He cut his show in half after his support acts dropped out in solidarity with Gaza. Apparently, something bad is happening over there.
Anyway, the concert was the most exciting experience since the bank left me on hold for 45 minutes, playing “Shape of You” on loop. It was amazing when it finally got going. It’s just a shame we had to wait around forever.
Instead of the opening performances, we got Gaza protests. Strangely, ordinary people don’t find it hard to make a stand like Ed does. They can look at schools and hospitals being bombed and say, “This is wrong, no matter what Israel’s excuse is”. Personally, I blame social media.
For a few days, it looked like the tour would be called off, after the other acts realised it’s embarrassing to perform with Ed Sheeran. Luckily, Ed scraped together a replacement band that wouldn’t let genocide get in the way of making a few quid.
When he finally walked out on stage, you could’ve heard a pin drop, if it wasn’t for Tommy Robinson loudly clapping and yelling, “Go on, Ed.”
While it was brilliant to see the likes of Little Tommy and Boy George, thousands of Ed’s fans didn’t turn up. The place was so quiet, it reminded Ed of his busking days, although he played to bigger crowds back then. He was just relieved anyone turned up at all and immediately teared up. He cried for himself like he couldn’t cry for the kids of Gaza. He then addressed the elephant in the room. No, not Lucy Connolly. What the fuck is wrong with you?
Ed made a speech about the Macklemore thing and really spoke from his heart. Well, he read from a teleprompter, but that’s the same thing when you’re a robot. He sensibly started off with Israel’s excuses and carefully rebranded the genocide as a “conflict”. He told us that what’s happening over there is “unjustifiable”, but wouldn’t say who’s to blame.
He explained he’s too stupid to understand concepts like war and genocide, which is why he never gets involved in this stuff. He performed a concert for Ukraine just a month after that war started, but he hasn’t figured out Gaza after three years. These things are easier to understand when the victims are white.
Needless to say, Ed was let down by his good friend Macklemore. He honestly had no idea Mack would perform the same songs he performs every time he’s on stage. He certainly didn’t expect him to say “Free Palestine”—that one came out of the blue.
Ed honestly thought Macklemore would Mackle less. You can imagine his confusion when the other acts turned out to also not be moral vacuums. He thought they were all fake Irish like him, but they’re actually real Irish. Apparently that means something.
Ed skilfully exonerated himself from blame, insisting he did not make the decision to drop Macklemore. His promoter did, after pressure from Bob Kraft and other billionaires. As the headline act, Ed was powerless in this situation. He couldn’t have walked out, or threatened legal action, or even said, “Look mate, I’m Ed Sheeran. You’ll do as I say.”
All of this happened against Ed’s will, which is why he didn’t apologise for dropping his friend of 13 years, or even say he disagreed with the decision. He simply called it one of the worst weeks of his life, centring himself as the real victim of genocide.
We all know that Ed and Bob are massive humanitarians, now that they need to rebuild their tattered reputations. Ed cares so much about Palestinian children that he didn’t bother saying which charities “in the region” he’s donating to. If he admitted it was the IDF that could’ve got awkward.
To prove he truly cares, Ed dedicated his opening performance of the night to the children of Gaza and then began with “When your legs don’t work like they used to before…”
