Fed up with today's world. Lived in Asia & Mid-East. Learnt about equity & justice along the way. Believe capitalist & autocrats deserve Hell. Neoliberalism is evil. Miss the social-democracy of the 60s & 70s, not that it existed unless you were white.

Update your wilful ignorance...you know Palestine was illegally carved up to accommodate the sadistic state of Israel. It was committing systematic genocide from 1948 to today. After the Nakba Israel should of been held to account and frogmarched to the Hague.
Disarm and defund!
78 years ago, the Palestinian village of Khasas was attacked by Zionist forces, killing civilians and destroying homes. The village was later depopulated, its land seized, and Israeli settlements built in its place—erasing Khasas and its Palestinian history, but not its memory.

The IDF, Israeli police & the govt apparatus are aligned with & complicit in violent settler actions against Palestinians. Govt reluctance to address settler violence is an outcome of deliberate social, political & cultural [i.e. racist] changes to Israeli society
West Bank violence is soaring, fueled by a capitulation of Israeli institutions to settlers’ interests
Reluctance to address settler violence is the outcome of deep social, political and cultural changes, a scholar of Israeli extremist groups argues.

It is time for a European security strategy. And one whose message, in a nutshell, is that Europeans are ready to lead and thrive in the changed geopolitcal climate of the 21st century.
Europe must reject Trump’s nonsense accusations of ‘civilizational erasure’ – but it urgently needs a strategy of its own
The US is wrong to try to impose its worldview on Europe – but it has been able to do so because European leaders don’t have a strategy of their own.

Is ‘Fuck Israel’ antisemitic? There is nothing antisemitic here, because Israel is led by pathological monsters, underpinned by pathological child killers. Buttressed by settler crazies given carte blanche for carnage in the Occupied Territories.
Erasing Israel: Jewish Council’s antisemitism report misses the point
By omitting any mention of Israel’s actions, the Jewish Council’s latest report on antisemitism obscures the true source of rising hostility, writes Evan Jones.

Despite US support for Israel’s genocide, the apartheid system within Israel, the ongoing occupation of Palestinian land, & a militarily powerful Israel, Jews are less safe now than before & unbeknown to most [Israelis] a reckoning is coming. And it won’t be pleasant!
The war that broke Israel’s global legitimacy
Israel’s actions in Gaza have trashed its global standing and, paradoxically, left Jews less safe worldwide. The long-term consequences are only beginning to surface.
