‘The impact of the human tragedies I've reported on is that,I'll be angry. I want to know why is this child dying? These are not acts of God; they're results of respectable politicians' decisions’ J.Pilger /MA History (UCD), Social Policy (UCLan)🇵🇸🇮🇪
Exactly. FIFA and UEFA too. #Israel is toxic. Countries boycotting the Eurovision #Ireland #Spain #Slovenia #Netherlands see through this. Irish FAI has taken a strong stand too, but FIFA is deeply in bed with #US & Trump and so deeply corrupt I don’t hold out much hope there.
The EBU dropped plans for a vote on excluding Israel because of the ceasefire
This is the point of the pretend ceasefire. Not to stop the genocide but to allow countries & organisations to more easily resist calls to put pressure on Israel & to reverse actions already taken

Pseudoscience like this, and Charles Murray’s “underclass” theory in the field welfare, suit the interests of those in power, the only reason they survive . Zombie theories that return no matter how many times they are thoroughly debunked. #US #UK
Frankly, this is political pseudoscience. Postulations of intra-group unity and intergroup incommensurability are as facile and cartoonish when framed in terms of "civilisations" as they are when framed in terms of "races". Thankfully, IR as a discipline is moving on from this sort of nonsense.
Amid the liberal internationalist optimism of the late 1990s, Samuel Huntington foresaw a world marked by continued conflict.

Both the initial strike and the follow-up strike are unlawful; it's just that the follow-up strike is literally text-book unlawful that makes it impossible to ignore.

It’s a little more serious than “failure to prevent genocide” in #gaza #palestine. They actively supported it, and this debate should have happened 20 years ago, or before in the #US #UK , because coverage of #Israel crimes , and western complicity has been ignored for decades
I spoke to two dozen BBC journalists, from frontline reporters to senior staff, about how the BBC came to symbolise the West's failure to prevent genocide in Gaza - and how the row over its coverage fed directly into its current meltdown.

I wrote a piece a few weeks ago claiming antisemitism was on the verge of going mainstream. It was clear to me that most people had trouble buying it.
That's understandable. But it's happening.
Example: Conservatives themselves are now saying that 30 to 40% of Zoomers in Washington are Groypers.

I recall around 1990 an elderly supply teacher explaining to my class what war is actually like, macho mythology aside. The sound bullets make. Men crying for their mummys as they die on the battlefield. It's haunted me ever since, and certainly played a role in politicising me.
As a teen or young adult in the 1990s you had constant encounters with people in their 50s-80s who were combatants, victims or perpetrators during catastrophes of the mid-20th century
