Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Kneecap is not the story.
Genocide in Gaza is.

The Settlers, the doc I made for the BBC, is now available to stream in the US on BBC Select. It couldn’t be more timely with the announcement today that the Israeli govt has approved construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank - which are illegal under international law.

fucked up.

[Simon Harris TD @SimonHarrisTD]

This is a deeply regrettable decision from the Netanyahu government. I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-International law.

Until my dying breath, I will fight for the imprisonment of every single Western leader who provided political cover, weapons and military intelligence to Israeli génocidaires.

If the country's finances are so bad, then why are we still spending £50 billion a year on the military?

If there's no money left, why are we spending £12,000 a minute on nuclear weapons?

If we can afford to bomb people, why can't we afford to feed people?

Cleared the fucking lot of them.

do you know how desperate and how scared you have to be to seek asylum HERE of all places when, as a country, we treat immigrants like they are filth? have some fucking empathy

We’re cracking down on rip-off degrees. We are, however, doing absolutely fuck all about rip-off food prices, rip-off energy and water companies and rip-off mortgage rates.

This seems far worse than Just Stop Oil blocking the road for a few minutes.

if i didn’t want to have to brush a few flecks of orange confetti off my shoulders on my second wedding day i would simply not have ideologically murdered 120,000 people

[danny @d4nnytye]

look at the replies to this to see how the british media closes ranks. this man ruined the lives of millions and caused countless deaths, but his sham wedding ends with a bit of confetti throwing (a tradition at weddings!) and you’d think he was jesus being nailed to the cross

Confettigate: A Statement From Just Stop Oil

The lady who threw confetti in Bruton yesterday was upholding a tradition that is common across many cultures. We absolutely defend the right for people to throw confetti (of whatever colour) at weddings and other celebrations.

If it was a form of protest — which is yet to be established — we applaud it and thank the person concerned. It was peaceful and not especially disruptive, but got massive media attention for Just Stop Oil’s demand.

It has also helped people to recall that George Osborne, one of the main architects of economic austerity, is directly responsible for over 300,000 excess deaths, and that — as a newspaper editor — he was responsible for some of the most egregious climate-denying nonsense ever to darken the pages of mainstream mass media.

However, as much as we applaud the use of orange confetti at this wedding, we were not responsible.

Perhaps the press could focus on something more important now? Like the current government’s plans to licence over 100 new oil and gas projects, which will result in excess deaths the likes of which we have never seen. Or the fact that the UN Secretary General has said that ‘climate change is out of control’ as we’ve just seen the hottest average temperatures since records began. Or the fact that Canadian wildfires have now burned down an area the size of Portugal.

We are in catastrophically dangerous territory and the press have a moral responsibility to inform and educate people as to the causes of the crisis so that we can take action to defend ourselves. In 2023, it is simply criminal not to check your facts.
