If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.
When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.
@academic_la The impossible problem for the Trump Administration: How do you exit a war that you aren't winning- that was illegally started, made no sense at all, and has damaged the entire world?
The Passover Haggadah, the text directing the Seder, defines evil as knowingly removing yourself from the collective and notifying everyone that "their" rules don't apply to you. People like @AriFleischer make Judaism (and American spirit) evil. Don't let them.
UNC’s Board of Trustees has once again inserted itself into the tenure process, this time rejecting the tenure nomination of Dr. Kiran Asher after months of faculty review and approval at multiple levels of the University. Tenure decisions should be grounded in academic expertise, transparent process, and shared governance. Read more at the link. https://t.co/zrc9bPSgRB #UNC #HigherEd
Gideon Levy: «Ora che il genocidio è giunto al termine e la #Striscia di Gaza è stata quasi completamente distrutta, Israele sta avanzando con determinazione verso la fase successiva e [la soluzione finale del genocidio]: rendere l'intera popolazione di Gaza permanentemente invalida, ferita, malata, disabile, affamata, senza tetto e [senza futuro], malata e disoccupata».
@NTarnopolsky I hate Trump. But frankly, if Israel wanted USA to join them in their illegal war against Iran Israel should be prepared for US to tell them they need to stop the bombing.
US State Dept found sexual abuse allegations of a Palestinian child in Israeli prison credible some time ago. Yet ppl want to believe that what Nicholas Kristoff reports today is a lie. The denial of reality is disturbing.
🚨Israel's gov just blacklisted Euro-Med for exposing its systematic rape of Palestinians, just like Israel had terror-listed Defense for Children International when they reported to the US state department Israel's rape of a child!
Staff are fearful for their lives in Gaza & Lebanon. The blacklisting entails all current & former staff (including myself). Even junior staff & interns are targeted.
Israel has already killed several of the organization's team during the Gaza genocide.
Israel is openly bragging that this blacklisting is pure retribution against Nick Kristof's NYT article, which presented multiple testimonies of rape & torture survivors. This means this survivors & witnesses are also now also in mortal danger.
Israeli army commanders usually intimidate survivors from talking to the media or human rights organizations. Human rights attorneys in the West Bank like Kifaya Khraim have documented cases where the Israeli army commanders call women who have testified about the abuse inflicted on them, & the commanders threaten them with kidnapping, torture or rape.
@DavidMakovsky It appears that Israel is in Lebanon because Israel wants Lebanon. Israel is destroying southern Lebanon; killing medics and civilians. It is a land grab.
Tony Blair is the living embodiment of what happens when political office becomes a down payment on future plunder. Ejected in 2007 by his own MPs as a massive liability, he bequeathed Britain a wild casino economy primed for the 2008 crash. And when the British economy crashed and burned, Mr Blair kept quiet while honing his skills at securing power by other means.
His first job, after his ejection from 10 Downing Street, was as the West’s Middle East envoy, with a supposed emphasis on Gaza. It took six painful years for Mr Blair’s tenure to prove a failure so profound it amounted to active complicity in Israel’s ethnic cleansing, in Palestinian erasure, and in paving the ground for the ongoing genocide.
Soon after, the Chilcot Inquiry demolished Blair’s Iraq lies, exposing him as a liar, a chancer and a war criminal responsible for countless corpses of Iraqis, but also of British soldiers.
Then came Blair’s real innovation: the financialisation of the ex-premiership itself. The Tony Blair Institute, fuelled by £130 million from Oracle's Larry Ellison—coincidentally, the largest individual donor to the Friends of the IDF—became a shadow state, brokering governance contracts for autocrats and companies like Palantir that weaponise AI to produce mega-death abroad and full-on surveillance of Western populations.
Now, in May 2026, this corporate fixer issues a 5700 word tantrum demanding that Labour embrace Trump even more than Starmer already has, denounce what is left of Labour’s betrayed Green New Deal, and trash the remnants of workers' rights. This is not the wisdom of an aging statesman. It is the frantic squirming of a man fearing his grip on oligarchic power might soon wane and whose entire post-10 Downing Street existence depends on preventing the many from ever reclaiming what the few have plundered.
