That's right. I'm reminded of Arafat saying in '82 "we left Beirut with our dignity, the Israelis left with the bath taps..." / Looting Was Part of Every Israeli War. What's New Is the Total Indifference haaretz.com/israel-news/is…

@tparsi @mehdirhasan Yeah but it’s not as if Witkoff and Kushner reflected any serious diplomatic capacity or intent

NEW: Pope Leo XIV has named Salvadoran immigrant Evelio Menijar-Ayala to be West Virginia’s lone Catholic bishop. As a teenager, he made three attempts to enter the United States illegally. He finally arrived in California in 1990, having been smuggled in the trunk of a car with his brother over the border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego. Over the next several years, Menjivar-Ayala worked janitorial and construction jobs in California before deciding to become a priest. It’s a remarkable choice in a state that is over 90% white and voted for President Trump by 42 points.

I am so heartbroken. Israel has just shot my 30-year-old aunt in the chest while she was sitting with her three young children in a school shelter in Jabalia Camp. She is in critical condition; the bullet pierced her chest and exited through her back, devastating her lungs and spleen. At the moment she was hit, she was holding her one-year-old son. He fell from her lap as she collapsed and was found bleeding from one of his ears. I just spoke with my uncle, who told me that Israel has been using subsonic bullets lately. He said his sister is the second mother in the camp to be shot in the chest today. Please pray for her and our family. Her husband was abducted by Israel in November 2024, and we still have no word on his condition.

The BBC has avoided using the term "Israel lobby" over the past two years, new research by Declassified UK shows, even though: - BBC execs regularly meet with the lobby - A quarter of all MPs are funded by the lobby - Half of Starmer's cabinet depend on lobby money - The lobby has taken credit for getting Palestine Action outlawed as a terrorist group.

🇵🇸 🇪🇸 Following their 1–0 victory over RC Strasbourg Alsace in the UEFA Conference League semi-final first leg on Thursday, players for Spanish professional football club Rayo Vallecano, dedicated the historic win to the Palestinian people, celebrating with a Palestinian flag in front of fans at the Estadio de Vallecas. The gesture reflects a long-standing tradition among supporters of Rayo Vallecano, the Madrid club based in the working-class neighborhood of Vallecas—particularly the Bukaneros ultras group, known for its anti-fascist and left-wing political stance. Fans at a recent match unfurled a massive Palestinian flag and displayed a tifo reading, “No one can occupy the root of a dream.” After the game today, supporters were heard chanting, “Whoever doesn’t dance is Netanyahu.” The victory puts Rayo Vallecano one step away from the first European final in the club’s history.

I guess it shouldn't surprise us that @nytimes would offer a plaintive modernizing military Keynesianism as a solution to "the disappointments in the Iran war" without questioning its legitimacy and imperial assumptions nytimes.com/2026/04/30/opi…

What an utterly ridiculous country, the BBC thinks the USA is... There's literally no other place in the world where Charles Windsor would be welcomed with "awe, delight and hope"

This reflects a perfect understanding of the extent of relevance of the King, and even of Britain, to today's crises. Take responsibility, return what you stole, and be off w you... / Mamdani would ask King Charles to return crown jewel to India politi.co/3OKtwMJ
