You see, the greatest French writer in history, Victor Hugo wrote an entire novel about how looting to feed yourself and your family is not a crime or personal failing, but a fundamental flaw of a corrupt system that gives you no other choice

Can't help but reflect as people wring their hands about things on fire that it's just two or three months ago some of these countries saw the largest wildfires and highest temperatures recorded, something that will only worsen in these young people's lives.

@BRYN_BORANGA Is the yellow face supposed to be actual reference to something? Glitter seems to do it first before Brandreth puts the glasses on. Or just a bit of casual racism

BBC Sounds app isn't terrible but it's clearly behind lots of other platforms. You can see this just in its recommendation system, where I can't remove recommendations nor tell it not to recommend me shows

I almost didn’t comment on this but now I feel like I have to.

Palestinians or their supporters have never been allowed to have “idealistic” positions. That is blatantly false. For more than 70 years, Palestinians have been told and repeatedly forced to compromise, negotiate, moderate their demands and accept less and less, culminating in genocide.

And even the most basic demand of stopping the genocide has not been met. There is no such a thing as a reasonable realistic demand for Israel.

The genocide is still treated as something endlessly debatable, and people who use the word are punished for it. Judges have been sanctioned. People have been arrested for attempting to deliver aid to Palestinians. One main funder of Palestinian causes is siting in prison in Spain right now. Meanwhile, demands that are considered perfectly legitimate and “realistic” when discussing Ukraine are often treated as completely unacceptable when Palestinians make them.

So the idea that leftists have somehow adopted a “hyper-realistic” foreign policy toward Ukraine while holding “idealistic” positions on Palestine is egregiously ignorant and dishonest.

Palestinians have been occupied, dispossessed and ethnically cleansed. They have lived under siege and occupation, in refugee camps and tents, while their homes and land are taken from them. Israel wants ALL the land - not a part of a huge country. They want all Palestinians gone. Palestinians are being subjected to mass killing and destruction. They are not allowed to have an army. No one is arming them in the way states arm Ukraine. While Europe and US sanction Russia with new packages all the time and prohibit even Russian news channels, and reorganization in academia and institutions against Russians and Russian language - mostly those already against the Russian government have taken place, the West has more antisemitic laws and tasks forces and more defense against antisemitism instead - which is just cover for Israel by using the Jewish people as their shield. There were no flurry of policies to protect Palestinians. On top of it, Iran is sanctioned not Israel. Iran gets bombed not Israel.

And even saying that Palestinians have a right to resist, or saying ‘Hamas’ has the right to resist the ongoing genocide can be enough to cross the boundaries of what is considered acceptable discourse with punishments to follow!

We are literally at a point where even discussing whether Zionism is racism, is treated by many institutions as an outrageous proposition. Denunciations all around!

And somehow, after all of this, your conclusion is that Palestinians and their supporters are the ones being hyper-idealistic? Zionism is racism is just too crazy?!

It’s quite comical to think that you can have a more reasonable realistic demand on Israel and that somehow that will convince Israel. They don’t give a fuck about the size of the demand - the answer to all demands is NO.

I mean isn't this the point of writing history and having museums. Of course as something recedes into history people lose an immediately meaningful relationship to it.

It took Palestine Action activists 1 year and 4 months to be granted bail after the Elbit systems raid and these guys supposedly brought three car bombs to blow up a US-operated military base and/or attack a residential area and are out on bail like the next day

People talk about the high street and feeding a sense of decline, but have you tried casual mobile gaming lately. Bombarded with ads that force engagement, for basic games, these used to be easy access to waste time.
