I’m trying to imagine being 20 years old and being ordered to torture an elderly celebrated physician who’s being endlessly detained without charges. Most would refuse that order. It’s an indictment of Israeli society that they seem to have no problem finding people to do it.

This may look inconsistent and hypocritical but the things that connect them are a) very right wing reactionaries horking up idiotic panics and scandals for political gain, and b) absolutely *fuck you*. So they are in fact 100% consistent and there’s no hypocrisy to call out.

Israel spent 2 years running an elaborate lobbying campaign to have Hamas added to this UN sex-abuse blacklist, making the case that the UN designation was thorough, evidence-based and widely respected, which was why it was so important for them to get Hamas added to it.

Now that Israel has been added to it, they say the whole thing is a sham.

After he won the Pulitzer Prize, Palestinian writer Mosab Abu Toha was invited onto MSNBC where he was promptly interrogated about why he wasn't doing more to humanize the people slaughtering his family members in Gaza.

The Times editorial on the Labour Together scandal seems spectacularly reluctant to accept that LT has been a dirty tricks outfit since at least 2017 - perhaps because during the Corbyn years, the Times would happily print the smears

"You are horrified at our intending to do away with private property. But in your existing society, private property is already done away with for nine-tenths of the population; its existence for the few is solely due to its non-existence [for the many]." —Karl Marx

Britain has a patriotism problem. And it involves the very rich:

Ex-Prince Andrew passed confidential trade documents Epstein

Sir Jim Ratcliffe offshores his wealth to avoid paying billions in tax.

Peter Mandelson is investigated for passing market sensitive information to Epstein

Remember, while the powerful get us fighting each other we forget to focus on them.

[Jody McIntyre @jodymcintyre_]

I’ve been contacted by THREE Labour Party whistleblowers, inc. a former frontbencher, + been passed a sensitive Excel spreadsheet by a senior politician in Scotland.

The evidence is clear: Mandelson + McSweeney built a covert network of Labour MPs.

Here’s what they’re hiding:🧵
