Was at a funeral yesterday in the snow. Someone mentioned “Do not stand at my grave and weep.” Forever recalls the Iveagh gardens for Conor O’Brien’s incredible interpretation. Don’t know if it’s his arrangement but stuck in my head ever since, with Cathy Davey and Lisa Hannigan.

@TadhgHickey Not very important next to the insanity of the rest of his statement, but deeply weird to say “I am a doctor”, when you have a PhD. Jill Biden levels of self regard.

This man hears "Gas the Jews" in his head. He is clearly mentally unwell. We must protect him lest Iran tries to recruit him.

It’s always important to listen to Howard Jacobson, Britain’s greatest living Jewish writer, but this week, after the Golders Green stabbing— it is more essential than ever.

@bethsalant @owenjonesjourno Sorry, woke got me, it means I can never fully appreciate your map or why you censor perfectly commonplace w*rds.

@therandomnouns @owenjonesjourno Resistance is blowing up a bridge Bulldozing a border Resistance IS NOT barbarically m*rdering 1,200 innocent Stop with woke nonsense Have you seen a map of the Middle East? Explain colonialism. If you really believe that, advocate for the J*ws exiled from Muslim countries

There is no dispute that dogs can be trained to rape people. In Pinochet's Chile, a German Shepherd named Volodia was trained to rape inmates. In the case of Israel, we have multiple testimonies from Palestinian detainees, as well as Israeli guards.

@bethsalant @owenjonesjourno I haven’t mentioned any conspiracy, nor Hamas or my feelings about Oct 7th. It’s illegal to do so in any meaningfully positive way in most supposedly free western countries. So all I’ll say is resistance to imperialism and colonialism is a vital, noble and just endeavour.

@viraameli @owenjonesjourno @lumibucks This is a guy who (admirably) vocally opposes the genocide while also saying, after Oct 7th, that it was the biggest attack on Jewish people since the holocaust. He takes virtuous positions, without ever meaningfully contending with real resistance or revolution. Summed up here.

Emma Picken spread the false claim that babies were beheaded on 7th October. She doesn't have any leg to stand on when accusing others of spreading false claims about atrocities.

@owenjonesjourno @lumibucks It shows your lack of full understanding of the types of disruptions and dominations Western powers have put on us, and how we need to protect against these. It’s fine. You can remain limited.

The Iranian president defending the Pope from attacks by the US President. And condemns his blasphemy against Jesus Christ. What a timeline we live in!

Masoud Pezeshkian@drpezeshkian

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.

@jemgilbert Weirdo below saying “fake account with 42 followers.” Normal stuff. Lots of fake accounts with real names and external links in bio. But it emphasises how bad faith a lot of this is, just people using the obligatory factionalism of new parties to justify their prior prejudices.

English

Garret Baker@therandomnouns·14 Nis

@jemgilbert You can just dislike them or pretend setting up left wing parties is always smooth sailing, without having to efface the machinations of the right wing of labour, of a mainstream press desperate to maintain the status quo, and of the completely insurmountable vagaries of brexit.

The experience of YP must provoke some reassessment of the experience of Corbynism. There were always reliable sources suggesting that catastrophic incompetence of key figures in LOTO was more to blame for defeat than anything else and now it looks like they must have been right.

@GinaDavidson@ginadavidsonlbc

Two months on... the leadership of Your Party Scotland has resigned en masse, because they say, there has been "consistent contempt shown towards members and the organisation north of the border." Niall Christie, the sole Scotland rep on Your Party’s CEC has also resigned.

Appreciate the out of the box thinking here but I think Snake and Paddington teaming up like this would be a little jarring.

One thing I have found weird in France is when the media here is doing their anti-left concern-trolling, so scared are they of giving left wing figures a platform that they always have at least 2, if not 3 or 4 people yelling at them to make them seem unreasonable. Deeply odd.

@PhilipProudfoot you’ve seen with Your Party could just as quickly run through the Greens and if anyone thinks otherwise, well the recent anti Zionist motions, the sneering from former leaders and rivals, should wake them up.

Garret Baker@therandomnouns·5 Nis

@PhilipProudfoot There’s room and desire for a left wing party which, Your Party or no, will not pop into existence fully formed and conflict free. The greens infighting and smearing is barely begun. Throughout Europe they’ve compromised with rather than challenged power. The splintering

Think it’s about time the Your Party stuff stops and we just throw all our weight behind The Greens — now our only credible path to a slightly less terrible country.

US admitting here to arbitrarily killing any man within a 3km radius of one US pilot (“believed to be a threat” is the most insignificant qualifier imaginable.) A war crime, but watch how many western outlets mention that when breathlessly reporting this.

La police française continue la stratégie de harcèlement judiciaire de ma collègue Rima Hassan. Sa garde à vue est une violation de son immunité parlementaire, qui protège justement la liberté d'expression. Aucune intimidation ne fera taire les voix pour la défense de la Palestine !

@ArthurMarlin2 There are people who think bombing Iranian schoolgirls is a good way to overthrown a government they don’t like. Nobody is getting arrested for that, despite this sentiment leading to far more deaths than you describe. On est pas libré en France de discuter tout ça apparement.

Whilst people share the dumbest possible propaganda justifying the bombing of Lebanese and Iranians, Rima Hassan shares a simple tweet talking about someone who resisted against the Israelis and is arrested. Freedom of speech in the west is an illusion, as Gaza and this war shows

Jean-Luc Mélenchon@JLMelenchon

La police politique a convoqué une fois de plus Rima Hassan en garde à vue à propos d'un retweet du mois de mars. Il n'y a donc plus d'immunité parlementaire en France. Insupportable. La loi Yadan n'a pas été votée mais elle s'applique déjà ?
