Medical debt is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States.
Not gambling. Not reckless spending. Not the moral failures that the rhetoric of personal responsibility loves to invoke.
Getting sick.
The leading cause of financial ruin in the wealthiest country in human history is the biological inevitability of the human body breaking down.
This happens nowhere else in the developed world.
In no other wealthy nation does a person survive cancer and then spend a decade paying for the survival.
In no other wealthy nation does a grandmother choose between insulin and rent.
In no other wealthy nation is the question "can I afford to call an ambulance" a question a person has to genuinely ask.
This is not an accident of policy.
This is the policy.
The extraction is the point.
The debt is the product.
The sick person is the raw material.
Israel always looks after its paedophiles and will always bring them safely back home if they are caught committing paedophilia-related crimes in Western countries. Is it a national custom or something?
The suspension of Karim Khan by the ICC is an entirely political Zionist move to cripple prosecutions of Israeli war criminals.
The 7 EU states on the 21 state Bureau voted en bloc to protect Israel as did Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Latin American client states.
You see these scenes from Belfast?
That's our future if Reform, Restore, the Tories, GB News, Elon Musk and the right-wing media get their way.
Except this will be on a much bigger scale.
We have to decide: do we want those inciting hatred to destroy our country?
An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
This is obscene. I've called on @MayorofLondon and @YvetteCooperMP to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.
"Golda Meir was born in Russia. Has the right to live here, in this area of Jerusalem, more than me?"
Yassar Arafat on the brutality & oppression waged by Israel on the people of Palestine. #Israël

Mehdi Hasan, "We have the Geneva Convention"
"We have International Humanitarian Law"
"We have the Rome Statute and the International Criminal Court"
"We have these metrics that were built up over the years, by the UK and the US; they led the world in writing these documents, these conventions"
"The European Convention of Human Rights, which everyone on the British right wants to pull out of, it was written by British lawyers"
"Much of that architecture is now being burnt down to protect Netanyahu, it's kind of insane"
"When historians come back to write these history books, it will be amazing to see how these laws, these conventions, they survived genocides, they survived some of the worst post war era conflicts"
"But they couldn't survive Gaza"
A thread of relentless horror stories of Israeli atrocities witnessed by foreign doctors who volunteered in Gaza.
Somehow none of it had the impact of Israel's entirely made-up stories about Hamas beheading babies.
Horrifying scenes from South Lebanon.
Israel is carpet bombing Tyre, wiping entire civilian neighborhoods off the map.
No military necessity. No restraint.
Just relentless terror.
This is an American-backed, American-funded genocide.
1. The Holocaust was evil, as everyone knows
2. The Holocaust was NOT uniquely evil, as some claim
3. Throughout history there have been other comparable genocides, often carried out by Europeans against indigenous people
4. The genocide in Gaza is not the same as the Holocaust, obviously, but it is in the same moral category
5. The Nazis killed babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they were Jews. The Israelis kill babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they are Palestinian
6. Israel and its supporters weaponise and abuse the memory of the Holocaust, sometimes to close down argument and sometimes even to justify the genocide in Gaza
"A Swiss court has acquitted five Palestine solidarity activists, annulled their fines, recognised the reality of genocide in Palestine, and affirmed that peaceful civil disobedience is protected by freedom of expression."
Please RT this until the UK courts do the same.
Thanks.
Sometimes, I feel like I'm living in some kind of a parallel universe. The fucking brazen audacity of these shameless cretins to propose banning Russian soldiers from entering the EU while allowing Zionists to go from the EU to Palestine and commit the very worst of war crimes and return home without fear of santion. How did these evil people get to rule our lands and our lives?
George Galloway: “Donald Trump transferred $1.25 billion from the US Treasury directly into his personal account in Qatar, under his own name.”
After years of “America First,” this is where your tax dollars are going?
Straight into Trump’s pocket via a Middle East slush fund?
You are a shameless liar: Polanski is calling for a list of British citizens who have fought in a probable genocide & possibly committed war crimes & other atrocities to be compiled. This is what any civilised lawful country should do
Faced with an employment tribunal hearing and a massive backlash, Leeds University has backed down two years after it stripped academic rights from an emeritus professor, James Dickins, for expressing views in solidarity with Palestinians.
This is the same Leeds that notoriously employs as its Jewish chaplain a man who served in Gaza in Israel's genocidal army.
