Not once did the word 'horrifying' issue from his lips throughout the Gaza genocide. Not once.



I have serious problems with the term “settler violence.” It is a generalization that demonizes a community of 500,000 people - almost all of them are good, law-abiding citizens. But we cannot let that defense blind us. What has been happening in the West Bank - like the attacks by Jewish extremists in some 20 locations last night - is an abomination. These actions are anti-Jewish, they are the antithesis of what it means to be Israeli, and they must be stopped with the most aggressive steps law enforcement has at its disposal. Beyond the moral rot, this is a strategic liability. Israel is in a war against Iran and we have a rare moment to unite a global coalition from the US to Europe to the Gulf, but that support is undermined when these attacks occur. @netanyahu knows this and for that reason he went to the IDF Central Command on Friday to try and stop the violence in the middle of a war that needs to be his sole focus. What these attackers are doing is not just criminal; it is a threat to our national security. We cannot defeat our enemies abroad while a violent fringe undermines our legitimacy from within.











'They just go in there and kill more people.' Major General Jonathan Shaw tells @NickFerrariLBC that Israel, unlike Donald Trump, is very happy for the war in Iran to drag on, since that's 'their way of doing business'.

The defence editor at @TheEconomist admits the 'beheaded babies' story he promoted, and which was widely used to justify Israel's atrocities against Palestine, was fraudulent. Are our journalist class just credulous little babies, or do they lie to order for Israel? #ItWasAScam
