Mike Pence proudly celebrating Britain’s role in Christian Zionism, and note his religious use of ‘rebirth’ here.

Been repeating the same thing for years: Christian Zionism is by far the greater threat. It is also deeply antisemitic, starting from Balfour himself.

Israel announced that they will bomb two villages in Southern Lebanon

That’s how they do it. They tell you that they will violate the ceasefire for the thousandth time, and there will be no consequences.

I will never get over how boring these people are. It's really like you get to a certain level of wealth and privilege and your brain breaks.

Corruption out in the open

Sure seems like this should be a bigger story than it is.

Hundreds of Palestinians found themselves in South Africa. "Al-Majd", the org that flew them, pretends to be dedicated to helping Muslims when in fact it is a shadowy firm run by an Israeli named Tomer Janar Lind

I’ve been writing an essay that includes a discussion of the obsession that Israeli settlers have with destroying olive trees. By coincidence I found a video from 3 days ago of them doing that again.

Friend sent me this from The Economist’s newsletter. The ‘related’ article makes it even better.

I guess it's not surprising but looking up 'Mamdani' on X is quite something. It's like a collective meltdown. There's no connection to reality whatsoever.

brave of Haaretz to publish a fashion designer's decision to 'leave the pro-Palestine movement' 2 years into the Israeli genocide in Gaza

Where do you join the movement? Are there fees or something? Do you get discounts? I'm interested

So much winning for Labour, I can’t keep up

housing inequality to just worsen, cops getting even less accountability than they currently do, and apparently applying transphobic policies could be a legal nightmare

This is Gaza

This is what a ‘ceasefire‘ looks like according to Israel

Israel has been bombing Lebanon regularly since the ‘ceasefire’ there too

Again and again, to the Israelis a ‘ceasefire‘ means “you cease, we fire”

Israel is bombing southern Lebanon again

This is what the Israelis call ceasefire: you cease, we fire

Greta Thunberg was beaten and tortured by the Israelis. They learned how to call her a whore in Swedish, and forced her to wear the Israeli flag.

The Swedish foreign ministry abandoned its citizens in Israel, and downplayed what they went through.

"based on the willingness-to-pay approach"

"dependent on the procurement process"

These are not questions related to public health.

To be clear: the decision to deny most people in the UK the covid vaccine is related to money, *not* based on a public health concern. In other words, Labour did not allocate enough money for covid vaccines so their "cost-effectiveness" end up the determining factor. www.gov.uk/government/p...
