I don't care if people call me an anti-Semite
I do care that Israel is using white phosphorus on civilians
It's my duty as a journalist to make sure the world knows
Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”
Section 224 has gotten attention. Section 622 hasn't, but it should.
Buried in the 192-page Senate intelligence authorization bill is a provision that would require US intelligence agencies to share classified intelligence on virtually every topic of Middle East interest with Israel.
Any pause or reduction would require congressional approval from a Congress that has shown little appetite for restricting Israel.
This is the same strategy as Section 224: take what used to be a public, congressionally appropriated relationship — one the public could pressure lawmakers to restrict — and move it somewhere less visible, less accountable, and harder to reverse.

Fuck you, @washingtonpost . Amal did not ‘die,’ she was deliberately targeted and murdered after receiving threats from the Israeli army. She was in touch with us, her colleagues, during this situation. We all know exactly what happened. Shame on you for intentionally diminishing the criminality of the actions of the Israeli army with this headline. Shame on all of you and your correspondents in Beirut.
I hope to see you on trial for your propaganda in my lifetime.
More than 30 UK charities are found to have funnelled millions to illegal Israeli settlements. ‘Labour’s Melanie Ward said that if gift aid were claimed against the donations in the usual way, it would mean taxpayers had subsidised illegal settlements to the tune of £5.6m, a situation she described as deplorable’ - @guardian@melanie_ward
This is the last completely Christian village in the Holy Land. This is what Israel just did to it. Are you going to do anything about it, Ambassador Huckabee? @USAmbIsrael
Mehdi Hasan, "We have the Geneva Convention"
"We have International Humanitarian Law"
"We have the Rome Statute and the International Criminal Court"
"We have these metrics that were built up over the years, by the UK and the US; they led the world in writing these documents, these conventions"
"The European Convention of Human Rights, which everyone on the British right wants to pull out of, it was written by British lawyers"
"Much of that architecture is now being burnt down to protect Netanyahu, it's kind of insane"
"When historians come back to write these history books, it will be amazing to see how these laws, these conventions, they survived genocides, they survived some of the worst post war era conflicts"
"But they couldn't survive Gaza"
Israel has quintupled its PR budget to $730,000,000 while we still subsidize their wars of conquest and the New York Times reports concerns of them posing a major espionage threat.
Calling them an “ally” is completely out of touch with our national security.

Lo dice hasta Goldman Sachs: “La economía española crece tres veces más que la zona euro.” “Y una razón clave para ello es la decisión del Gobierno de no priorizar el aumento del gasto en defensa. Esta política ha preservado la credibilidad del país en los mercados financieros, siendo España el único de los cuatro grandes de la UE que reducirá la deuda sobre PIB en los próximos tres años.”
Más crecimiento, más estabilidad fiscal y más Estado del bienestar. Nuestro modelo funciona.
Ahora que vengan las derechas a hablarnos de las virtudes del 5%.

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

When I was at school, Dad convinced my friend that when you flushed away a huge turd you had to phone Thames Water so they could 'deal with it' to stop the pipes blocking. He gave my friend the landline number of his mate who was in on it. The calls carried on for several years.
