The Israeli media are saying it.

Why can't ours do the same?

How the New York Times describes a post by actress Selma Blair vs what she wrote

[#StopCopCity @ChuckModi1]

Republicans can get a ‘seat at the table’.
Palestinians? Not so much.

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

I don’t know how you can support this political party and not see that you’re supporting genocide. This isn’t one or two bad actors. There’s a deep and widespread belief in Jewish supremacist, racist propaganda that’s fueling an ethnic cleaning campaign.

[kev joon @never_oppressed]

The Harris campaign first sent Ritchie Torres to Michigan to antagonize Muslim and Arab voters. Next they kicked out a Muslim leader out of a Detroit rally. Then, to finally top it all, they asked Bill Clinton to talk about how zionism predates Islam. Great electoral strategy.

[#StopCopCity @ChuckModi1]

This was actually the most revealing and disturbing part of Bill Clinton’s speech. He’s not just a Zionist cuz it serves U.S. military genocidal interests—he’s a Zionist on batshit religious grounds.

Where’s Wanda? The Post-Chronicle Herald publishes an entire edition Thursday written entirely by men - every local and non-local story, four opinion pieces, even the letter-to-the-editor. There are 10 photos where the main subject is a man, one a woman.

My @Channel4News report on Israel’s relentless pounding of northern Gaza. It took a remarkably brave and persistent cameraman to get these pictures out to us. The world cannot say that it didn’t see. Or know. https://t.co/6NY4bDjw8l

Eject Israel from the UN. It can be done, as I explain here:

If this was happening with a US adversary, we would call it corruption of the system.

If it’s Walz I’m going to be a positive and pragmatic guy for the rest of 2024.

If it’s Shapiro I will become chaos incarnate. A soulless void that seeks destruction for no other reason than the terror that it brings others. I will kill god.

[Ben Sellers @MrBenSellers]

🧵 Just to recap, because events move so fast, it’s hard to make sense of them: firstly, a group of far right politicians, social media ‘names’ & organised fascists jumped on a tragedy to claim that the person responsible for the carnage in Southport was a Muslim / refugee. 1/13

This is Pat, of Toxteth in Liverpool. Last night she was out, helping to protect the local mosque from right-wing rioters. People like Pat are the best of us. #NansAgainstNazis
