Anyone out there still denying that Israel is intentionally carrying out war crimes that easily pass easily the genocide bar? Watch this. And then, if you can, fight against what humanity there is in you to continue to deny it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPE6...

77-year-old activist Gaie Delap faces recall to prison because the privatised probation service is failing.

A for-profit company not being equipped to provide a suitable tag is not an excuse to take away a person’s liberty.

History repeats.

In late February 1921, 2 weeks before taking office as POTUS, Warren Harding writes a letter to the richest man in America, William Randolph Hearst, thanking him for helping him win the presidency with favorable coverage in major newspapers he owned & begging for his advice.

How exactly did the newspapers hack phones. In this video, Glenn Mulcaire is heard impersonating an O2 employee to reset voicemail PINs, gaining unauthorised access.

This is predictable behavior. Targeting those returning.
Israel violated the ceasefire agreement today, targeting Lebanese returning to homes on the southern border. You won't see reports of this in Western press, & if you do, it won't be reported as a violation but a justification in print for why soldiers opened fire to cease fire.

The EU's campaign to bolster Ukraine's war effort resembles Harris's election campaign: a long line of celebrities waxing lyrical, no strategy, copious self-congratulation, hot air. When reality sets in, they look the other way, search for scapegoats and the blame game is on...

The French government just gave Putin a magnificent gift: It will ignore the ICC's arrest warrant for Netanyahu because "Israel is not a signatory to the ICC." But neither is Russia! So, is Putin in the clear too? Or is this another case of different rules for "our" bastards?

North Gaza has been under famine conditions for almost a year now- if you’re celebrating Thanksgiving today consider helping another family get something to eat.
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Saeed. Saeed is in North Gaza where he rarely has good internet or a chance to ask for help, so he has raised very little. He was an accountant before the war but lost his home and business because of it and has an injury.
