@get_involved1 @carla_denyer Why do you support people who use dogs to rape Muslims they have kidnapped and hold in torture camps? And what do you call them? "Humans" seems a bit of a stretch. A bit too kind. x.com/EuroMedHR/stat…

@carla_denyer They are human beings, but many of them don’t appear to think women & girls (especially non Muslim) are worthy of any respect or humanity. Why do you support such people?

More cruelty from Labour today, who will send riot police to stop migrants in small boats These are human beings fleeing war and persecution If govt really wants to end dangerous channel crossings, they must open safe and managed routes to the UK bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

“Another genocide behind walls”: New report documents testimonies of rape and sexual violence in Israeli prisons euromedmonitor.org/a/7022

@fletcherkathy8 @jk_rowling @sprolliehouse @future_fromthe Only if you haven't been paying attention.

@LewReedLaw @jk_rowling @sprolliehouse @future_fromthe What a weird take!

The Scottish government is responsible for this sexual assault. The Supreme Court has confirmed women’s right to single sex spaces, a ruling the SNP continues to flout. If the victim wishes to sue, jkrwf.org can assist with all costs.

@jk_rowling @sprolliehouse @future_fromthe I want to see your government's representatives explain why using dogs to rape male Palestinian prisoners is no biggie and the great unwashed should just stop being bigots. x.com/DropSiteNews/s…

@sprolliehouse @future_fromthe I want to see my government’s representatives stand up in court to explain why women getting shut in with convicted male sex offenders is no biggie and the great unwashed should just stop being bigots.

🚨NEW: UK Quietly Shuts Unit That Monitored Israel’s International Law Violations The British Foreign Office has closed the internal unit responsible for tracking potential breaches of international humanitarian law by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon, the Guardian reports, citing budget cuts following a departmental review. 🔹The closure of the so-called international humanitarian law (IHL) cell comes two weeks after newly appointed Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper declared that respect for international law would be a “linchpin” of her department’s foreign policy. 🔹The shutdown ends UK funding for the Conflict and Security Monitoring Project, run by the Centre for Information Resilience, which operated the world’s largest open-source monitoring system for human rights incidents across Israel, Palestine, and Lebanon. 🔹Officials warned its closure will mean the Foreign Office will lose access to a database of 26,000 verified incidents in the Middle East. 🔹The funding cuts affect the conflict and atrocity prevention team, which had also provided early warnings about potential violence in regions including Sudan.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 🔹The review that led to the closure was conducted by Olly Robbins, the Foreign Office’s permanent secretary, who was himself dismissed last week by Prime Minister Keir Starmer over an unrelated scandal involving Peter Mandelson.

@get_involved1 @d12_damage @colwight @mattyglesias Anyone who is not "anti-Israel" at this point is morally bankrupt, and the people who continue to try to cheerlead for Israel are bigots. Ad hominem should be the least of your worries. I don't know how you cope with the cognitive dissonance. For shame: x.com/Dialogue_NRA/s…

@LewReedLaw @d12_damage @colwight @mattyglesias You are mistaken. Just because loud anti Israel bigots have taken over the public square (thereby influencing all those who just follow the crowd) & make assertions without supporting evidence makes them worthless. Resorting to ad hominem is far from dignified.

Israelis gave up on the peace process for reasons that I sympathize with. But that choice has had the negative consequences that Olmert, Tzipi Livni, Obama, J Street, etc all warned about at the time. slowboring.com/p/if-israel-do…

@get_involved1 @d12_damage @colwight @mattyglesias Your problem is that the whole world now takes the accusation of "projection" from you with an eyeroll. Because the world knows that "every accusation is a confession". Your bullshit has worn very thin and very tiresome. Have the courage of your convictions. Have some dignity.

@LewReedLaw @d12_damage @colwight @mattyglesias “you pretend to believe what you must in order to hold your position” Peak projection.

@get_involved1 @d12_damage @colwight @mattyglesias You wouldn't know "truth" if it sat on your face and gyrated. I'm also inclined to think this is because you pretend to believe what you must in order to hold your position, because the truth of it is indefensible. This is also why you conflate Israel and Zionism with Jews.

@LewReedLaw @d12_damage @colwight @mattyglesias Truth is the arbiter of intellectual/moral authority. Why so many are unable to see or accept the truth/facts is hard to say. I’m inclined to think because they believe what they want to believe, particularly in the case of Israel/Jews, or they just unthinkingly follow the crowd.

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue. On April 21st, the left screen moved first. I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug. At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy. On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me. At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire. Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83. I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags. My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports. The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026: Reviewed. That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. Let me show you my flags. March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it. March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it. April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it. April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it. April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it. That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one. The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March. Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012. Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence. Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets. The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade. I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email. The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action. One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared. One account is a coincidence. But there were six. Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000. My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger. March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes. The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event. The spokesman said any implication that administration officials are engaged in insider trading is "baseless and irresponsible reporting." Then the White House sent the email again. I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative." I have seen pump-and-dump schemes coordinated over WhatsApp by people who used their real names. I have seen a man try to manipulate soybean futures from a Panera Bread. I have never seen $2.1 billion in perfectly timed trades across five presidential announcements in a single month go uninvestigated. But I have also never seen a compliance system work this beautifully. Every trade flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Every quarterly meeting attended. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed. Zero prosecutions. As long as the flags go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. I am meeting expectations. The system is meeting expectations. The $2.1 billion is meeting expectations. The fourteen-year-old law with zero prosecutions is meeting expectations. The left screen moves. The middle screen moves. The right screen stays perfectly, immaculately still. In my field, we call this price discovery.

Some people are gonna laugh. Some people are gonna feel weird watching this. A few of you are gonna understand it immediately. Those are my people.

@colwight @ElonIsACis @mattyglesias What definition do you use?

@ElonIsACis @mattyglesias You should learn the definition of the terms you’re using and then some history. Other than that getting a brain cell might help. But there might be genetic reasons for the latter. Muted.

@ArchRose90 x.com/Dialogue_NRA/s…

Growing up in the UK, I’ve never had someone approach me and say “what are you doing around here” for being black. This happened to a Jewish man who was simply doing his job. Combined with the arson attacks, British Jews are targeted in ways people like me aren’t. A sickness.

@get_involved1 @d12_damage @colwight @mattyglesias I love how you people always attempt to assume an air of intellectual and moral authority when you defend the indefensible. Or say that it's too complicated for mere mortals to understand. You fail to see that your condescension makes you look clownish as well as psychopathic.

@d12_damage @colwight @mattyglesias Nor by your own ignorance, apparently.

@colwight @mattyglesias I'll take that moral high ground, as risky as people like you would like to make it. x.com/Dialogue_NRA/s…

Tbh, I don’t think Israel cares how it’s perceived any longer. There’s nothing Israel can do to both safeguard itself from attacks, and recover its reputation. The only thing that would satisfy the Palestinians and the critics is to disappear. That’s why anti-Zionism is now the dominant discourse. And at its core anti-Zionism wants the end of the Jewish state. It’s about time people were honest about this. And Israel, quite rightly, won’t sacrifice itself so Western elites (yes you), can sleep at night safe on their no risk moral high ground.

@colwight @OunkaOnX @MaxNordau You again.

@OunkaOnX @MaxNordau It’s Shaiel for Christ sakes, and not witnessed first hand. Only absolute morons and people who’ve never been around dogs believe this. It’s hilarious and believing Shaiel will ultimately backfire on you all.

Krystal Ball just read testimony from an Israeli detention center. 'They stripped him. A captain sprayed something on his backside. They unleashed the dog. The dog raped the young man. It raped him, literally speaking, raped' This is not a conspiracy theory. This is documented along with many other. This is what Israel does And because the victims are Palestinian Muslims. So you don't see any coverage on Western media. This is the reality of Israeli detention and media complicity

@KrollMik123 @BobHatchett @nxt888 Not delusional. Just typically American, which is to say poorly educated, ill-informed and generally uninterested. Which is contemptible. Maybe they'll sit up and start paying attention to the world when their oligarchs have robbed them blind and turned them fully into slaves.

@BobHatchett @nxt888 You are absolutely delusional.

They teach their children that America won World War II. Which is, and this is important, not technically false but is also a form of organized forgetting. The Soviet Union lost 27 million people defeating Nazi Germany. Twenty-seven million. The Eastern Front was the war. What happened in Western Europe after D-Day was, from a military scale perspective, the closing chapter. Americans know Pearl Harbor. They know D-Day. They know Hiroshima. They do not, in general, feel in their bones the weight of 27 million Soviet dead as a fact that shaped the outcome of a war they believe they won. This isn't ignorance. It's curation. History gets curated to produce a specific psychological output: we are the people who save the world. We showed up, we sacrificed, we won, we rebuilt Europe with the Marshall Plan, we were generous in victory. This narrative, repeated for eighty years, produces citizens who experience American power as inherently benevolent by historical nature. And those citizens then cannot understand why anyone resists it.

@BobHatchett @nxt888 "Ironically the industrialization effort pay off well. But that's a side effect." With that, you demonstrate that, in fact, you don't know what you're talking about. US participation was deliberate and by design. Everything you've been told about how the US got rich is a lie.

@LewReedLaw @nxt888 Future wins are future wins. It was at huge expense that we entered that war. Ironically the industrialization effort pay off well. But that's a side effect. Y'all don't know what you're talking about. The Allies won the war. That's what we were taught and believe

I assume they haven't released the one about Israelis systematically raping prisoners, or the sexual violence in the West Bank, or the IDF's mass forced nudity or Palestinian men, or the ...

A group of Israelis apparently used AI to create a fake Iranian sexual violence survivor for war propaganda.

Since October 2023, much of the genocidal rhetoric voiced by Israeli officials has been drawn from Jewish supremacist teachings. Terms such as ‘Goyim’ are used to dehumanise non-Jews, explains Professor David Miller (@Tracking_Power). #DismantleZionism #EndJewishSupremacy
