Pretty much the NYT editorial and centrist Dem position: yes there were tragic deaths in Gaza, but the REAL victim of Israel’s actions in Gaza was Israel, because it made Israel look bad on TikTok, when people really should admire them for having the Most Moral Army in the World!

Economist Editor-in-Chief: Clearly you and I agree, and we’ve both been critical of the Israeli government. Tucker Carlson: Well, I’ve been critical of the Israeli government. The Economist: I’ve been plenty critical. Tucker Carlson: What do you think of what happened in Gaza?

It is so dangerous every time in history when only strictly extreme right-wing figures say some basic things that no one else in power or the media will, and which the overwhelming majority of the public knows to be true. Liberals and centrists will never, ever learn.

“It was decided and carried out. They washed her, cut her hair, raped her and killed her”
Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion wrote this in his 1949 diary.
The story of how 20 Israeli soldiers gang raped a 13 year old Palestinian girl for 3 days, by rota, and then shot her.

There's a new decency in Downing Street now McSweeney's gone. Instead of echoing far right bigotry, Keir Starmer is standing against it over the Nick Timothy affair. In my column for Tribune I argue that a new dividing line has opened up at Westminster: tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/whos-r…

@breadandposes Separate but do they just let anyone write a column now, the quality of what I'm reading just seems consistently awful, not even in substance, just everything is poorly written

I don’t really know what’s cringe about it. It was a white guy doing an ethnic accent that became the go-to impression for racists looking to demean Indian people for many years. It’s not even a Rochester type deal where an actual POC got to play and give depth to the stereotype

just remembered this. the most cringe artifact of peak woke? certainly up there

@TheKavernacle @cezthesocialist At this point Israel and USA are the same entity but that their policy does more for Israel than it for stage USA. That is not something that they have done accidentally though, it's because they are truly Israel first, before even global Capital
English
@TheKavernacle @cezthesocialist Obama was also a lapdog of course but post 2016, American foreign policy has been EXACTLY what Israel wants. Under Biden staffers have openly said their policy towards the ME was dictated to them by Israel. The trump relationship is different but has the same results
English
I’ve always denied ZOG. It seemed to me that Israel and America’s interests were just very closely aligned, which started around the 70s, and that definitely was the full extent of the relationship for a long time, but more recently, undeniably under Trump and somewhat Biden too, the US is clearly being influenced by Israel beyond what is in its own interests.

@jakonian @LilyWonderland5 How do you think he was able to take a stance against war with Iran despite no party policy
English
@LilyWonderland5 What do you think policy is? Policy can come out of current events, politics isn't just spinning the big wheel of topics and going "okay it landed on Education.... free meals for all primary school kids except maybe year 6?"
English
Th Greens are genuinely fucked if they get into power because how will they respond to sudden events?
Will they have to change the party rules to allow the leaders (or govt ministers) to create policy?

Another day, another journalist who doesn’t understand how Green Party makes policy 🤦♂️ “The Green Party” doesn’t draft proposals, it’s individual members, or groups of likeminded members, that do that 🤝 Then, any proposal will need a lot of support from other members to finally be debated and its only ever the most serious ones that get voted on 🗳️ I predict that you’ll hear a lot about supposed Green proposals over the next few years from journalists looking for stories but many will unlikely ever come close to becoming policy ☑️

@OfSymbols I honestly think it is seeing what members of it have since revealed about their intentions if Corbyn had won

What I like most about this is that if a socialist party was trying to implement 14 day detention, the exact same people would be roaring about gulags and Stalin and so on and so on.

isn't it fascinating how bisexual women are routinely treated as ontologically straight whereas bisexual men are seen as irredeemably branded by faggotry

Something should be done about buy-to-let empires, but rent controls will have so many unintended consequences.

Zack Polanski calls for rent controls, "If we froze rents in Autumn 2022 households would save £3,300 per year" "That's £18 billion of purchasing power back into pockets of people" "Money that could be spent on local businesses, buying a coffee on the way to work, or a few pints at the end of a hard week" "Instead, straight into landlords pockets" "Leaving our high streets hollowed out" "And our Green MP Carla Denyer has been raising the alarm on this scandal" "We need to bring in rent control" "We would stop the choke hold of rip off rents and bring life back into our communities"

Slovenia recognized a Palestinian state, called out Israel's genocide in Gaza, and became the first EU state to ban weapons trade with Israel.
Now it seems a Israeli spy firm maybe trying to manipulate Solvenia's elections.

EXCLUSIVE: Slovenia’s PM Robert Golob has urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to investigate accusations that Israeli spy firm Black Cube interfered in the country’s election campaign, according to a letter we obtained. politico.eu/article/robert…
