“The British media think you're an idiot. They're trying to convince you that a foreign war for Israel is in your interest. It's time to expose the propagandists and the warmongers.” ~ Peter Oborne

@duduschka The disinformation machine chugs along - chug chug chug.. for now. Only those who want it to be true allow themselves to be fooled but in their rotting hearts they don’t even care. It’s not real for them. RIP the girls of Minab school

On LBC today a hysterical woman, ex deputy mayor of Jerusalem, planted the lie that the Iranians probably killed the schoolgirls themselves to male their enemy look bad. All afternoon LBC have been BEYOND dreadful.

Two weeks ago @ZackPolanski went to Palantir's London HQ to tell the US spyware company to get the hell out of the NHS. Zack has now written to Wes Streeting urging him to end Palantir's NHS contract, citing links between Mandelson, his lobbying firm, and Palantir.

Every news outlet, pundit and analyst who tries to tell you that Epstein was a Russian intelligence operative instead of an Israeli one is just telling you they're a propagandist. View it as a big flashing sign that says "Never trust anything from this source ever again."

@duduschka His existence makes the world a better place.

Happy 81st Birthday to Robert Wyatt (born the day after the Russians liberated Auschwitz, into what should have been a better world)

And so the genocide continues in hushed silence, with the rest of the world lulled into a false sense that it has ended... theguardian.com/world/2025/nov…

@yanisvaroufakis This is how Israel works 👇 #Tantura #DeirYaseen

@duduschka What a beautiful picture. Happy belated one, Alfie xx

I'm 85 today. Where did all those years go? And where have all the meadows gone?

Israel’s bombs and starvation tactics in Gaza, along with their ethnic cleansing of East Jerusalem and the West Bank have not only placed a whole people on death row, have not only aimed at extinguishing Palestinian life from Palestine – no, they have done something else, something of universal, global significance. They have trashed the idea of Int Law, propelling humanity back to the prewar era where might-was-right even in law. With the Int Court of Justice ignored, with the Int Criminal Court sanctioned and annulled, it is down to the Global Majority to defend human, political rights – to uphold Int Law. This is what the Gaza Tribunal is doing this week between 23rd and 26th October at Istanbul University. Watch, attend and support the Gaza Tribunal. For humanity’s sake. x.com/gazatribunal/s…

To be racist is to admit that you are a dull, vapid person. It's an admission that you are so intellectually, emotionally and spiritually shallow that you can only enjoy and connect with other human beings in the most superficial of ways. There is no depth to you. There has been no growth in you. You are stunted. You have been wasting your time on this planet instead of maturing and expanding your connectedness with the gift of human life. If you have been growing and maturing, your ability to delight in other people isn't limited by skin color, culture, language, national background, or religion. You understand that there are whole universes within us beyond those few superficial differences, and we are able to connect with each other on all those various levels in a limitless number of ways. You don't fear and shun the differentness of others, you take immense enjoyment from it. If you have not been growing and maturing, you lack the ability to enjoy and connect with people who are different from you and your family. You are unaware of the universes within you and within others, so you believe your ability to welcome others into your neighborhood is limited to the most surface-level aspects of them like their skin color, their accent, the way they dress, or their religious beliefs. It's all you understand about yourself, so it's all you value in others. This is a symptom of a shallow, uninteresting life. Your mind is boring and superficial, because you set up all these walls around it to stop it from growing. Your heart is hardened and cloistered, because you set up barriers to keep people out. Your spirit is stagnant and impoverished, because you placed too many limitations on its natural outpouring. You're still splashing around in the kiddie pool of the human condition. It's a waste of a human lifetime to live like this. Open yourself up. Soften your heart. Broaden your mind. Make connections. Delight in the myriad manifestations with which humanity can show up. There is just as much dazzling beauty in other humans as there is in the natural world, and if you can't see it that's a defect in your own character. If you don't learn to grow beyond those limitations, you cut yourself off from unfathomable depths of the human experience that you could instead be taking great joy in. Don't waste your life on racism. Don't waste your life on Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, or any of the other crude ways we cut ourselves off from the connectivity and appreciation that we are all capable of. Deepen your roots and grow into a mature human being.

@duduschka As a fellow 3-dimensional human being, I can vouch for your authenticity in this department (and many others). The irony of having to prove this to a virtual robot isn’t lost on us.

support@x.com, I have been labelled. Accused if not being authentic. I joined in 2012, and have been active since about 2016. How have I suddenly become inauthentic? I wish to appeal against this strange decision by your algorithm

@CultureCalling Thank you Culture Calling

Culture Calling asks...Chris Anderson - Brighton-based musician Chris told us about the foundation and inspirations behind his project Crayola Lectern and gave an interesting (and rather poetic) take on Brighton. We're giving away a signed copy of his new album 'Disasternoon', plus 2 tickets to his show at London's The George Tavern, to competition entrants on Instagram, so head over there for more details!

The establishment sneered, mocked and laughed at us. They’re not laughing now. We’ve hit 500,000 in just THREE days. The fightback has begun. Join us: yourparty.uk

"Antisemitism" means criticism of Israel. That’s just what it means now. It used to mean something else, but years of bad faith actors using that word in the most dishonest ways imaginable to defend the most horrific things you’ve ever seen has changed the definition. It is no longer possible to separate that word from this sustained campaign of mass deception. You can only have governments, institutions and individuals use a word differently for so long with such a high degree of uniformity before the definition changes. Word definitions change over time depending on how people use them. Nice used to mean stupid. Explode used to mean applaud. The word meat used to refer to any kind of food, not just animal flesh. The meanings changed because enough people started using them to refer to something else, in exactly the same way we've seen occur with the word antisemitism. That's locked in. It has already happened. Everyone knows that antisemitism refers to criticism of Israel and its actions and antisemite refers to someone who does so. Everyone understands this regardless of whether they support Israel or oppose it. That is the definition now. If you want a word for someone who thinks Hitler was correct or uses triple brackets and posts big nose memes online, you're going to have to make up a new word, because antisemite is taken. You can't even really use "Jew hater" either, because that meaning is being polluted in the exact same way antisemite has been. You have to make up an entirely new word, and use it consistently. Israel's spinmeisters will deny this publicly, even though they know it's true. They'll say it's possible to criticize Israel without being an antisemite, but if you ask them to name someone who regularly and forcefully criticizes Israel's genocidal atrocities in Gaza whom they don't consider antisemitic, they won't be able to. Every single person who criticizes Israel with appropriate consistency and force is branded an antisemite (or perhaps "self-hating" if they happen to be Jewish), without a single, solitary exception. These aren't my rules, they're the rules of the Israel apologists. I'm just pointing out the obvious fact that those rules have been set.

1/2 Mehdi Hassan out here shaming EVERY Western journalist ON THE PLANET! Have a watch

Israel killed 50 Palestinians in Gaza today, on the first day of Eid al-Adha.

nahidaexiledpalestinian.com/2025/06/05/abs… Over the past 77 years, we Palestinians have faced an absurd type of multilayered injustice, unspeakable barbarity, chronic brutality, and compounded oppression with a twist.

With every day that passes, the West adds more sins to its charge sheet that future generations will not be able to defend. Enough! aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/…

Israeli tanks are firing intensely at the Indonesian Hospital in Northern Gaza: there are dozens of innocent wounded patients trapped inside qudsnen.co/?p=59746
