I have written to Lisa Nandy, following her grossly misleading comments over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban.

This is about a group of fans with a history of racism and violence. It is not about banning Jewish people - and any attempt to conflate the two is shameful.

Gaza received ~150,000 tons of explosives — about 8 times Hiroshima/Nagasaki. Imagine 66 kg of blast per person. The real crime is the lifetime of poison left behind

The remains of 54 unidentified Palestinians, whose bodies were recently handed over by Israel, are being buried in a cemetery in southern Gaza. Their families were unable to identify them due to the extensive mutilation and disfigurement inflicted upon them while in Israeli captivity.

We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like?

In my perpetual quest to seek out alternative technofutures, I want to highlight the really cool work of Keolu Fox.

#WATCH | This guy traveled from England to Gaza to commit war crimes.

He then has the audacity to say: "My message to everyone is not to give up on your dreams."

How much Palestinians had their dreams ended because of people like you?

Scum.

He's a pro-Israel propagandist. He's not Jewish.

He works for a right-wing pro-Israel organisation.

He's posted vile things about Palestinian kids shot by Israeli soldiers.

But Sky News presented him as an ordinary Jewish football fan subjected to online hatred.
