@Future_Cities Thank you. You’d think Newsnight could afford Zoom Pro.
My daughter was on an artist briefing on Zoom recently, which they had to restart multiple times (same problem).
Worse: It was meant to be anonymous, but non-pro Zoom shows all the participants. Embarrassing.
🤦🏻♂️
@mattragland I wish the world had been discussing work-life balance when I was in my 40s, I would have made very different decisions.
When your kids grow older and, eventually, leave home, you realise that you can’t go back and do it all differently.
Work hard, but don’t forget your kids.
@SaulStaniforth@AlexCrawfordSky Whatever happened to, “Never again!”
While the Israelis’ shamelessly broadcast their war crimes, the west does nothing. These are war crimes, this is ethnic cleansing and the Israelis are guilty of genocide.
@kylegawley If life’s ever dragging you down, drop me a line. I’ll always have time for you, as you’ve always had time for me. I’m sending you positive thoughts from the northwest coast of Ireland!
@ybenami@sanchezcastejon This has nothing to do with boycotting the Jews, as you well know. It has everything to do with Israel’s continued war crimes:
• the collective punishment of innocent citizens in Gaza;
• illegal settlements in the West Bank; and
• illegally invading south Lebanon.
@OG_Rebel_@Tamer_Alnoaizy As for ‘sparing you moral indignation’, I’ll do nothing of the sort.
The world should be, and increasingly is, indignant.
What is happening in Gaza are war crimes on an industrial scale. There is an arrest warrant out for Netanyahu for crimes against humanity. Rightly so.
@OG_Rebel_@Tamer_Alnoaizy The endless irony of the crime you assert – “…invading sovereign territory.” – is laughable.
As anyone who’s read around this knows, this ‘sovereign territory’ was Palestinian until Arthur Balfour issued the Balfour Declaration in 1917.
So, yes, the crimes are Israeli crimes.
@OG_Rebel_@Tamer_Alnoaizy Again, you’re collecting everyone – regardless of the facts – and collectively punishing them all. A war crime.
The horrific numbers of children in Gaza who’ve been murdered… Did they put Hamas in power? Of course they didn’t.
And you know that, but their lives matter less.
@Papamh8u@BirdieJ25813981@JohnB843618@Tamer_Alnoaizy What you are describing is collective punishment. A war crime.
“They voted for Hamas…” The children that are being murdered? Did they vote for Hamas? Do they deserve this collective punishment?
This post – by @RabbiMivasair – stopped me in my tracks this evening.
We need to speak up. Every single one of us. What is happening in Gaza and the Occupied West Bank is a disgrace and we cannot allow it to pass unchallenged.
No more.
#Gaza#GazaGenocide
Don’t like people wearing watermelon pins at your shitty medical conference?
Don’t care.
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” makes you feel scared?
Don’t care.
Seeing Palestinian flags on university campuses upsets you?
Don’t care.
A student calling Israel an apartheid state hurts your little feelings?
Don’t care.
A doctor speaking publicly about Palestinian children being massacred feels “divisive” to you?
Fuck you.
People refusing to condemn Palestinian resistance makes you uneasy?
Don’t care.
Hearing the word “genocide” feels inflammatory to you?
Don’t care.
A keffiyeh in a workplace gives you a panic attack?
Don’t care.
“Globalise the intifada” sounds genocidal to you?
Don’t care.
People interrupting politicians feels disrespectful to you?
Don’t care.
You no longer being able to monopolise victimhood makes you angry?
Truly could not care less.
What I care about are the Palestinian children being burned alive.
The doctors being tortured.
The families erased under rubble.
The starvation.
The concentration camps.
The destruction of Gaza’s hospitals and universities and refugee camps and entire civilian infrastructure.
But for the nearly last 1,000 days and decades prior, Western institutions have demanded everyone stop and carefully tend to Jewish emotional discomfort instead.
Not Palestinian lives.
Not Palestinian suffering.
Not Palestinian speech.
Zionist discomfort.
Zionist fragility.
Zionist political sensitivity—elevated, enforced, and institutionalised across universities, hospitals, media outlets, professional associations, politicians, donors, and advocacy groups.
All working in sync to transform Zionist discomfort into institutional emergency.
While Palestinian suffering is rendered invisible.
While Palestinian speech is disciplined.
While Palestinian humanity is treated as negotiable.
That is the function of the Jewish Feelings Industrial Complex.
Not safety.
Not care.
Not protection.
Institutionalised Zionist emotional management at scale.
Fuck every single institution that constantly weaponizes “Jewish safety,” “Jewish discomfort,” and “Jewish feelings” to justify censorship, repression, career destruction, anti-Palestinian racism, and silence in the face of mass atrocity.
If a watermelon pin destabilises you more than the annihilation of Gaza, the problem is not the watermelon pin.
The problem is you.

Delighted to hear that ‘Gaza: Doctors Under Attack’ won a well-deserved @BAFTA. An important documentary on an important (and under-reported) topic. #BAFTA#BAFTAs
BBC News: ‘His father had just been buried. Then West Bank settlers forced him to dig up the body.’
In a word: Disgusting.
What kind of person does this to another? Having lost my father last year, I can’t begin to imagine how painful this would be.
