Wisconsin, your vote will make all the difference in this election. I’m asking you to reach out to your friends, parents, siblings, neighbors, and work with them to make a plan to vote. 

Two days – that’s all the time we have left until Election Day. Let’s get this done!

'He got his information from an alleged human trafficker and organised criminal.... but he's absolutely adamant the riots had nothing to do with him.'

@mrjamesob reacts as Nigel Farage claims he got caught up in misinformation circulating from influencers like Andrew Tate.

@SenatorWong What Hamas did on 7/10 was unjustifiable and unforgivable, what Israel and the IDF are currently doing is similarly unjustifiable and unforgivable, the only difference is that you are condoning the Israeli action by your silence.

[Daren Anderson 🟦🇵🇸🇮🇱 @darenja]

@SenatorWong Nice pitch Penny, I’ll be waiting for your reciprocated message of love and support for the Palestinian people and particularly those innocent civilians suffering from the genocide being perpetuated by the Israeli government and the IDF when the next Muslim holy day comes to pass

Can we get 500 retweets on this? This is one hell of an ad from the Democrat running for US Senate in North Dakota. The question is whether people will watch it and share it.

[Kim Iversen 🇺🇸 @KimIversenShow]

When it gets to the point when they start rounding up people claiming they’re all criminals simply for their religion or ethnicity, isn’t it then a Holocaust?

The Genocide Convention was ratified by Australia on 8 July 1949 and entered into force on 12 January 1951. It counts for nothing when it comes to #Israel it seems. #auspol

Queen Rania of Jordan was interviewed by @amanpour today, and I have posted the entire interview along with some summary notes.

As a student of Jordanian history, I have watched hundreds of interviews with Queen Rania over the last two decades; I have never seen her so frustrated.

In this interview, she is deeply critical of Western nations that have remained silent on what is happening in Gaza.

She calls Israel an apartheid regime and says there is a hyper fixation on Hamas in the context of what Palestinians have gone through for 70 years.

Summary Notes:

The world's reaction [to what Israel is doing in Gaza] shocked people in the Middle East and Jordan.

There is a glaring double standard.

After October 7, the world immediately and unequivocally stood by Israel and condemned the attacks.

But we are seeing silence in the world when it comes to Gaza.

Countries have stopped expressing concern but always declare support for Israel.

Are we being told that killing an entire family at gunpoint (referring to Hamas in Israel) is wrong, but it's okay to shell them to death (referring to Israel bombing Gaza)?

There has been so much suffering, and the world is silent.

In our world (Arab/Middle East), it's made the Western world complicit.

When asked by Christiane how she reacted to the October 7 attacks on Israelis, Queen Rania said, of course, I was shocked; we condemn the killing of any civilian.

Why isn't there equal condemnation now [of what's happening in Gaza]?

This conflict did not begin on October 7.

For many Palestinians, war has never left. This is a 75-year-old story of overwhelming death and displacement under an apartheid regime that occupies the land.

It's not about being pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian.

Palestinian people have been living too long under oppression.

They do not have freedom of movement.

There's a hyper-fixation on Hamas. This is a problem that long proceeds Hamas.

Asked if she believes that Hamas has brought this war down on Gazans, is Hamas responsible for it?

Queen Rania says every country has a right to defend itself, but not through collective punishment or war crimes.

Why is when Israel does this, it's self-defense, but when Palestinians do it, it's called terrorism?

One is the occupier; one is the occupied. One has a military, the other one doesn't.

Why is the Israeli narrative always prioritized?

On October 7, the actions were called "savagery barbaric."

We are not seeing the atrocities in Palestine described in the same way.

She says President Biden mentioned that he saw 40 beheaded babies and retracted that. She criticizes CNN for its coverage, but Christiane pushes back.

Queen Rania then expresses frustration that every Arab is asked on television to present their moral credentials, with questions like "Do you condemn Hamas?"

I've never seen a Western official say, "Palestinians have a right to defend themselves."

@JohnRuddick2 You are a first class grub John. A dog whistling grub, who only gained a seat in an ineffective house due to an archaic unrepresentative system. I’d like to bet that less than 100 Chinese, Arab & Indian Aussies voted for you. You do not speak for them you worthless pissant.

Yes, Mr Biden: It is disgraceful that Putin's regime arrested journalist Gershkovich on the charge of espionage. As is YOUR gvt charging Julian Assange with espionage. Your hypocrisy is noted. NO ESPIONAGE CHARGES FOR JOURNALISTS! https://t.co/ZHX1HRHjMt
