I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The Holdovers is an unexpectedly good Christmas film. Not great but solid across the board.
Paul Giamatti is great as a curmudgeonly ancient History teacher; the script is packed with Classical references.

Mass murder is an interesting way of “testing a fragile ceasefire”.
Incredible how international media continues to provide cover for Israel’s ongoing genocide, despite all the evidence.

When Israel bombs Gaza after pledging itself to a ceasefire, we apparently need to say this is a “Test of ceasefire” to avoid saying what is blatantly obvious, that this is a violation of the ceasefire
Again, I’ll keep on repeating this: Israel does not do ceasefires unless forced to.

BREAKING: Israel strikes southern Gaza in test of ceasefire.
Israel strikes Gaza in first major test of ceasefire
Israel said it struck Hamas militants in Gaza on Sunday after they shot at Israeli soldiers who were inside the area that is still under Israeli control, according to the conditions of the Oct. 10 ceasefire.
