I can see some logic if you buy a paperback first then a hardback if it’s a keeper but I find it hard to get rid of any
Still whatever pays authors most is ok 👍

Someone said to me, "There's all these problem in the world, how can they be solved, it's impossible."

I told them, "Those 'problems' are all just symptoms of the only problem that we have."

"The richest have far too much money, and far too much power."

What Hamas did on Oct 7th was outrageous & rightly their leadership has been killed & military capability destroyed
But it is clear that having got world opinion on their side they refused any offers to end the war until they had virtually flattened Gaza and killed 70,000 people mostly civilians

He continually claims not to know about recent incidents
Perhaps journalists should offer to send him the relevant footage & demanding he confirms receipt & comment within 24 hours
Does he come from Barcelona

If Trump doesn’t immediately demand Israel reverse this act his chance of heaven or a Nobel prize are zero
We know the vile arithmetic that means one Israeli life is worth 100 Palestinians but we’d assumed that meant live Israelis
The 20 point plan is in tatters so it’s ok to call it Trumps plan

We Aren’t Finished in Gaza, U.S. Military Contractors Say

UG Solutions, which works with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, said its “cadre of American veterans” was ready to keep working in Gaza.

So maybe Netenyahu wasn’t using Epstein kompromat to control
Trump after all they were partners in crime from the start costing the lives of 70,000 Palestinians to cling onto ill gotten power

It’s a step in the right direction but in the interests of re establishing trust in politics why did it take the existential threat of a Farage govt for #Starmer to remember that he always knew #Brexit is shit
Tell me #freeports isn’t involved

Israel has best security services in the world &controlled Gaza for years & had benefit of a U.K. spotter plane
They repeatedly claimed their attacks were carefully targeted at Hamas & minimised collateral damge
But who’s now trying to maintain
order in GAZA Hamas
Who already broke ceasefire IDF

Remember when Trump said he could shoot someone in main st & get away with it
Every time he violates the constitution & gets away with it that belief is reinforced
When he pardons his thugs time after time all his supporters belive they share his imunity
Spoiler alert They Don’t & he’ll
go down

What Does CBP Teach Their “Cops”?
ICE draws weapons on ppl who ask questions.
ICE arrests ppl for legally videoing their arrests.
ICE demands "papers" from 15-yr-olds.
ICE hides their faces & drives cars w/o proper plates.

Why do we let the lawless enforce the law?

See how different papers cover the same thing
Surely what is most important is that at least temporarily IDF will stop killing about 50 civilians a day not the welcome release of hostages & certainly not a single case
But moving on why isn’t Israel paying reparation Mr Trump ?

We now learn that Trump & Netenyahu were in cahoots right from the start
To avoid trial for war crimes they now seek to exonerate each other & even try to get Arab states to pay for GAZA reconstruction

Scottie2 @scottie2.bsky.social · 10h

Since Trump just boasted that he gave Netenyahu whatever weapons he asked for & added that he used them well they are both guilty of war crimes but exonerated each other claiming thanks for stopping the genocide & neither accepting responsibility for paying for the reconstruction
Unacceptable 🤬

Scottie2 @scottie2.bsky.social · 11h

Has anybody noticed that Israel is getting off completely unscathed for genocide & war crimes and incredibly arent being made to pay for reparations
Presumably this was an unspoken part of the deal & might be the only aspect Trump actually contributed
Let’s not call it Trumps plan till it fails

Hanniba-LINA Lecter 💀 @agirlcalledlina.bsky.social · 1d

The bbc focussing on what the ceasefire means for the hostages way more than what it means for Gazans, again seeing that disproportionately we’ve become accustomed to for years, this isn’t new, and it’s certainly not ok

Scottie2 @scottie2.bsky.social · 12h

Can we please stop calling it Trumps plan he had very little input into it although it is like himself full of words & aspirations but with little real content
Reconstruction funding is from various Muslim countries rather than Israel who should be paying full reparations
Please resend if agreeing

Now we have a ceasefire I believe a lot of facts will be unearthed none of which will be To Trump or Netenyahu’s benefit
For example amongst the widespread destruction of GAZA infrastructure even the prisons were destroyed & this comes to light raining on Donald’s parade
