Sly Stone and Brian Wilson in the same week. Two genuine visionaries who gave us so much, suffered so much, and both retreated from the outside world for long stretches of time, burrowing inside themselves, as their music became raw materials for entire genres and sub-genres.
we’ve heard multiple accounts of abuse and torture in Israeli concentration camps for years but I think we’re just scratching the surface of how much the sexual torture aspect is a matter of official policy
We're not even close to counting, and may never be able to count, the people strictly killed by IDF attacks. There are mass graves and bodies under collapsed buildings everywhere. Remember when 8,000 murdered Bosniaks at Srebrenica was "unthinkable," "medieval," "atavistic" ...
I think about how many Afrikaners were willing to put themselves on the line for the ANC and then I get upset at how few Israelis are willing to go up against the IDF's war machine within its borders.
in the rules based international order there are two separate yet equally important groups: good states that can bomb embassies with impunity and bad states we'll never forgive seizing our embassy 44 years ago merely because we overthrew their democratically elected government
Palestinians in Gaza are eating loaves of bread made from rabbit feed. Some are not posting the photos themselves out of a sense of pride and dignity when really it is the rest of us who need to be ashamed at how this famine has been allowed to go on like this
Over the years I’ve looked at so much footage of war. Photographs. Videos. Journal entries. I swear to you some of this stuff I’ve never seen before. I am often taken aback by this seemingly popular trend of repackaging cruelty as content.
Today @WHO led a very high risk @UN assessment mission to Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza.
The team saw a hospital no longer able to function: no water, no food, no electricity, no fuel, medical supplies depleted.
Given this deplorable situation and the condition of many patients, including babies, health workers requested support to evacuate patients who cannot receive lifesaving care there anymore.
We are working with partners to develop an urgent evacuation plan and ask for full facilitation of this plan.
We continue to call for protection of health and of civilians. The current situation is unbearable and unjustifiable.
Ceasefire. NOW.
Clinton's FBI funneled money to Hamas in the late 1990s, in cahoots with Netanyahu, in a crazy botched operation to fund & surveil Hamas terror attacks.
We discuss this and more in our newest @RadioWarNerd episode.

Today, during a police raid to take down Palestinian flags in the anti-Zionist Jewish neighborhood, Mea Shearim in Jerusalem, the Israeli policemen were recorded attacking residents and knocking residents down on the road, hitting, and punching them in the face.
Police violence against ultra-Orthodox Jews continues constantly, Zionists constantly attack Jews, this must stop.
The only crime of these Jews is that they stand with the Palestinian people and are against Zionism.
Israel advocates today: erm, describing Israel as “settler-colonial” is a slur 🙄
Early Zionists: Our settler colony - which is a good thing btw - will provide a European buttress against the barbarous hordes of the orient 😃
