The only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety. For a rich country like ours to incessantly whine about these people as if we are their victims is perhaps the single most pathetic spectacle in British politics over the past quarter century.

Following the documented rape of a Palestinian prisoner in Sde Teyman, the military prosecutor ordered the arrest of the soldiers involved.
There was govt-supported riots trying to prevent their arrest. In response, she leaked the video evidence.
Now she has been removed by the Israeli govt.

Forget Monday's two-hour Tucker Carlson interview with Nick Fuentes-- this 2.5 minute video from the head of the Heritage Foundation just completely shattered the right-wing pro-Israel consensus. The leading MAGA organization welcomed antisemitism into the movement with open arms

New post - a mammoth, though partial, review of Marlene Laruelle's new book on Putinism as ideology. I find a lot to like in her 400 page meticulous treatment, but also a bit of a gap between her final thesis and her evidence. Link in the next post.

This hateful antisemitic vandalism in Minneapolis is alarming and unacceptable.
Targeting synagogues with anti-Zionist/anti-Israel slogans isn’t political activism — it’s harassing and threatening Jewish communities.

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

Make no mistake. Those who spearheaded the Gaza genocide will try to relaunch it in a more ruthless manner, at the earliest opportunity.
They will fail only if there will be an alternative vision, one of recognition, life and equality for everyone.

This is a perfectly appropriate message in response to a horrific event, and the responses to this post are filling me with sorrow.
I am sickened by today’s attack in Manchester. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and we must do all we can to stomp it out. I am grateful to first responders and congregants who showed incredible bravery, and I am praying for those who were killed.
