You don't get to just pretend all this fretting about "antisemitism" is happening separately from the agenda to stomp out all criticism of Israel and its abuses. You don't get to demand that I treat them as separate things. They're inseparable agendas. I wish they weren't, but they are.
If you come up to me babbling about how Jews are afraid and mistreated, then I'm going to automatically treat this as apologia for a genocidal apartheid state, because that's the primary agenda that this rhetoric is being used to promote today. It's not my fault that this is how I respond to allegations of antisemitism. It's the fault of the people who have weaponized such allegations to promote genocide, apartheid, war, and tyranny.
If you want me to take allegations of "antisemitism" seriously, then you must first bring to an end the campaign to use that term as a cudgel to shut down pro-Palestine protests and silence Israel's critics. That is what you'll need to do before I will give you the benefit of the doubt and listen to you like you're a good-faith actor. The information ecosystem is currently far too full of genocidal Zionists lying about their experiences, their feelings, their intentions, and what has happened to them for me to listen credulously to stories about discrimination against Jews in the year 2026.
It's so surreal how we are still expected in mainstream western society to listen to concern trolling about "antisemitism" without immediately thinking about things like Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, war, and genocide. We're expected to listen patiently to stories about how western Jews feel unsafe without ever looking at all those elephants in the room. It's insulting. It's degrading.
If the main reason antisemitism gets mentioned these days is because of opposition to Israel's mass atrocities, then obviously I'm going to assume that's the driving motivator behind your words when you mention it. Of course that's going to be my default assumption. Obviously. Duh.
@Jonathan_K_Cook OUR FOOD OURSELVES vs Evil 🇮🇱 ..
To this day, the overwhelming majority of consumers across the EU have no idea, even if items are correctly labelled, which they almost never are, that they are buying.. Israel's settlements to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their homeland.
Anybody who says this is inevitable because ‘there’s no money’ is a total idiot.
There’s money for wars, there’s money for all the people arriving here illegally, there’s money for everything and everyone except the people who have worked hard all their lives, paid into the system and who deserve to retire at a decent age.
The state pension is not a benefit.
It is one side of a verbal contract stated thousands of times by successive governments that if you pay National Insurance over your working life you will receive a state pension when you retire.
Boris Johnson making an honest error 😂 This was pure corruption & deceit … while they partied. Our political elite, of all the main parties, are a mendacious, corrupt bunch of mediocrities who arrogantly believe they are better than us ordinary people, whose money they use to enrich themselves & their pals
The Prime Minister has announced that this is "the end of his political journey".
Our campaign to expose his government's role in genocide has only just begun.
Complicity demands consequences — and we will not rest until there is justice for the Palestinian people.
Last year Microsoft made $101 billion in profit.
Received a $12.5 billion tax break.
Paid their CEO $96 million.
This year they raised Xbox prices $150.
Cut 3,200 jobs.
We were told tax breaks for corporations create jobs.
They created 3,200 fewer of them.
The money didn’t trickle down.
It never does.
It just pools at the top and they call it economic growth.
✨🇨🇳Xi Jinping:Where is humanity headed? All nations share the same boat. Instead of drifting apart on more than 190 small craft, we should unite as one big vessel or form a joint fleet, so that all mankind can sail toward a brighter future.
If human civilizations are reduced to a single color or a single model, the world would become a stereotype and too dull a place to live in. What we need is to respect each other as equals and say no to hubris and prejudice. We need to deepen understanding of the differences between our own civilizations and others, and advance exchanges, dialogue and harmonious coexistence among all civilizations.
#C4News Last night we were subjected to a 15 minute @Channel4News “special” demonising Iran and justifying the absurd “proscription” of the IRGC.
Tonight, another “special” telling us Ukraine are winning the awful war, contradicting other reports that Russia are a threat to UK.
‘Reindustrialisation through defence’ is a nonsense. In economic terms defence is a ridiculously expensive & inefficient way to create jobs &, because of the limited linkages to the rest of the economy & the extreme levels of public subsidisation, often reduces rather than increases GDP. See the research in ‘Indefensible: 7 Myths that Sustain the Global Arms Trade’
This is easier than it might seem. There is already a paper trail. Government has only to hire investigators to gather evidence then follow the normal path to reclaim the money and prosecute. They should also prosecute those who set up the VIP lane. Clear corruption & misconduct.
You will write essays about freedom.
You will cry over New York, over Paris, over London.
You will change your profile picture for the latest Western tragedy.
But you will never ask why the countries your flag bombs never get a minute of silence.
You will never ask why their dead do not qualify as history, only as background noise.
Your bubble is not ignorance.
It is comfort.
"They had a jury problem. They had a you problem."
This is it right here. @AaronSiriSG spells it out.
Bayer sells about 10 billion dollars worth of glyphosate every year and had already paid out roughly 10 billion dollars for a single injury, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, from a single type of exposure. Their money bought influence over the executive branch and Congress, including an executive order declaring glyphosate a national security interest. What their money couldn't buy was a jury. Juries were the one place ordinary people could still hold them accountable. The ruling took that away.
Nigel Farage just said the UK was better in the 1950's
In the 1950's the Government owned Gas, Oil, Rail, Power, Steel, Telecoms, Mail, Shipbuilding, Airports, Social Housing, Care Homes (Children and Adults), Schools, Hospitals...
And built 300,000 Council Houses a year.
In Finland, charging fees for tuition is illegal, which means rich kids have to mix with normal kids. That means rich families had to make sure the schools their children attended were good, which in turn prompted the wealthy to invest in public education.
Finland, take a bow.
The government keeps telling everyone the job market is strong, but the actual data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the complete opposite.
The US only added 57,000 jobs in June, which is a massive drop from earlier this year. On top of that, companies have cut over 443,000 corporate jobs since January.
The tech sector is getting hit the hardest with cuts up 66 percent compared to last year.
The companies aren't even hiding the reason anymore. They are openly citing artificial intelligence as the main cause for over 20 percent of these layoffs.
They are replacing human livelihoods with software to squeeze extra profit, leaving a whole generation of workers with nowhere to go.
The hardest part about being an adult is realizing that most people in high-level positions aren't actually smarter than you—they just had more "social capital" and the confidence of a person who has never been told "no."
BREAKING: Trump is dropping bombs near a children’s hospital in Ahvaz, Iran.
Read that again.
A children’s hospital.
The Shahid Baghaei Hospital, where children are battling cancer, has been forced to begin an emergency evacuation.
