No, punching a Nazi doesn't make you a Nazi. Punching a Nazi makes you Captain America, or possibly Indiana Jones. Punch more Nazis.

@jackamayorcas @ZackPolanski What does the L in JLM stand for?

@ZackPolanski Hi Zak, could you provide any evidence of JLM 'standing alongside a Government enabling genocide? I recently put forward a motion at the JLM AGM to show our support and solidarity with Omdim Beyachad (I am sure you know of their work) - it passed with overwhelming support.

This is so utterly ludicrous. Why would the Jewish Labour movement - a group standing alongside a government enabling genocide - comment on training within the Green Party? Who do they think they are? As if they're some moral authority when they've got Luke Akehurst as an MP!

@MerriamWebster "Heterological" is *STACK OVERFLOW EXCEPTION*

‘Phonetic’ is not. ‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters. ‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym. Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.

@ChrisCillizza She was buying coffee in a coffee place. I'm glad I could help.

How did this become a thing? Woman in front of me this morning: “I’ll do a venti skim latte.” What the hell does that even mean???

@manwhohasitall Learning to repress his emotions.

Don't say gratitude journal.

@jonfavs So does that mean they should immediately drop all support for Israel, or is that not the kind of unpopular special interest you’re thinking of?

Dems should resist any group or special interest that pressures them to take positions opposed by the electoral majority essential to win, whether that’s big corporations, rich donors, nonprofits, whoever. This isn’t about blaming specific groups for defeat - it’s about what’s required to win.

Being autistic is good, you should try it.

Congratulations to Israel for being so universally hated they solved the 800-year long Anglo-Irish conflict

@MerriamWebster "The".

What is the most overused word in your industry? Let it out.

@LeftieStats @YouGov Davey's strategy of ensuring no one knows who he is is paying off.

@BenzionSanders "We deprived a child of food and water and refused to let him drink until he repeated our propaganda" is not the argument you think it is.

A distraught Palestinian child begs an Israeli journalist for water in the northern Gaza Strip. “Who’s responsible for your situation?” “Hamas, Hamas! Do you have any water?”

@the_moviebob It's basically the War on Christmas nonsense that comes up around this time every year. Some far-right snowflake who doesn't know what a synonym is hears "Happy Holidays" and concludes that Christmas has been banned forever.

@Baddiel So you agree, the genocide in Gaza is disproportionate retaliatory violence and not any kind of self-defence?

A lot of people on here feeling the need to insist that the throwing into canals, attempted stabbings, head-stamping and hunting down of Jews this week in Amsterdam was provoked by the bad behaviour of Maccabi Tel-Aviv fans. Well, good to know that in this instance we’re ok with disproportionate retaliatory violence.

I made a BlueSky account ages ago but haven’t used it in a while. I’m going to try to be more active over there from now on. Same username on both sites.

@shaun_vids @MrPostsGood There's a really clear case of sampling bias in trying to use exit polls to explain why people didn't vote.

@BBCNewsnight Has he considered not being a violent football hooligan?

@Billthegreat6 @gcmcdoug @julianstansall @owenjonesjourno Vandalism, clubbing a cab driver in the head, starting fights with locals…

@gcmcdoug @julianstansall @owenjonesjourno what crimes other than chanting. Even if they were to chant hate speech you don't beat other people up

Imagine Russian football fans in a foreign city: - Interrupted a minute’s silence in memory of dead flood victims with chants in support of killing Ukrainian children - Rampaged through the city - Ripped down Ukrainian flags - Chanted “death to Ukrainians” - Attacked local residents Imagine then, when local residents attacked them, they were presented as victims of a racist pogrom.

@julianstansall @owenjonesjourno Amsterdam has a right to defend herself. Isn't that how it goes?

@owenjonesjourno Premeditated and coordinated attack on Jews. Nothing anyone did would have stopped this attack, on Jews. Your argument holds as much sense as saying “she asked for it”

@BBCWorld Almost as if Israel weren't actually only targeting Hamas.

Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead are women and children, UN says bbc.in/4fH3RfP
