@Channel4News @SecKermani Please stick to reporting Secunder. This performative activism might get you some likes but it reduces your credibility as a journalist.

“Your prime minister is a wanted war criminal. You don't have the moral high ground here at all.”
Channel 4 News Foreign Affairs Correspondent @SecKermani challenges the spokesperson for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the site of an Iranian missile strike in Tel Aviv.

@LtDrebin1 @paulmasonnews no, they're graves of children killed by the IRGC's misfire. More victims of the Islamic Republic.
English
@paulmasonnews Are these graves for young tankies Paul?

🇮🇷🇮🇱: This post is for EVERYONE who asked for this war. You claimed only IRCG officials and "mullahs" would get killed not civilians. Look at this. This is the mass grave site of the children killed at the elementary school in Minab, Iran. Each one of these 160 children just wanted to LIVE. No one who asked for this war should be allowed to step foot in Iran ever again.

@AaronBastani Then you have an entire state - the Islamic Republic of Iran - with apocalyptic theology and the genocide of the Israeli state as its foundational beliefs. Odd that you make no mention of that while you're opining on religious nut-jobs Aaron.

@Timurid_Mughal Maybe if you'd lived under the Islamic Republic, you'd feel the same.

I have never come across a diaspora who have called for a foreign entity to bomb their homeland, to murder inncent school children, & then dance in celebration. What type of ideology creates such a mindset? This is a strange phenomena, this is abnornal ...

Can Nato actually be reformed from within? Green Party leader Zack Polanski discusses his proposal with Ciaran Jenkins.

@boys_nicholas The left hand one. It's subtle, contextual with its setting, and elegant. Although it's being pilloried. The right image is a mediode pastiche.

@nypost Why don't you cover America's treatment of its indigenous people?

@yanisvaroufakis I'd prosecute you for media over-exposure and attention-seeking

The Greek Police has referred me to the State Prosecutor with a request that I be prosecuted as a drug traffic enabler. There seems to be no end to the European authorities' efforts to emulate Trump's project of returning us to a bleak, fascist past

@SALHACHIMI @wolfblitzer @CNN Given your on record support for the October 7 attacks, you ought to be deported from the UK too. Laura Loomer made the right call.
English
"It is bizarre that in the land of the brave, in which freedom of speech is sacred, a visa can be revoked because an unelected Laura Loomer did not like a journalist's criticism of a foreign government"
Spoke to @wolfblitzer on @CNN's Situation Room.

@jockogay Sexual Personae really is psychedelic. It uncovers the pagan vitality, sex and power of western art. You can't see it the same way after reading the book.

@atrupar He clearly hasn't read his history. World War II began with negotiation and appeasement of a dictator. It ended with total defeat and surrender. Vance talks some nonsense with the arrogance of someone who thinks he's wiser than he is.

JD Vance: "This is how wars ultimately get settled. If you go back to World War 2, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation."

@Dalia_dalla_pal That's not a meaningful reply. My point still stands.

@third_nature Don't deflect the attention. Think about your own stuff first.

Karl Jaspers, analyzing post-Nazi Germany, warned against the danger of limiting guilt to only criminal leaders. For him, this approach is wrong because it allows entire societies to avoid political, moral, and metaphysical responsibility: instead of confronting their own complicity, communities self-justify, preserving an image of innocence and allowing injustices to continue unchecked.
Today, Europe is repeating exactly the same pattern with Gaza. By focusing solely on Netanyahu and portraying the ongoing “final solution” against the Palestinians as an “exaggeration” compared to the past (implicitly suggesting that everything was fine before), European institutions knowingly ignore decades of “incremental genocide” against Palestinians since 1948, supported, financed, and protected by their own policies. Silence and minimization turn systematic violence into a specific event, just the tip of the iceberg.
Furthermore, European narratives have gone so far as to amplify figures like Yair Golan and Ehud Olmert, presenting them as “moral alternatives” to Netanyahu. This has two strategic effects: 1) it makes the atrocities appear as an exception in Israeli politics, when in reality these two figures have been under investigation for war crimes for years; 2) it allows them to distance themselves from past crimes, reducing any legal risk.
The result is a European society that self-justifies without interrogating its structural role in the Palestinian genocide, repeating the mistake Jaspers warned against: guilt is confined to visible criminals, while institutional and moral complicity remains intact.

@third_nature I can understand Christians wanting to make themselves more visible when even the King of England, for instance, appears to think it’s more important to mark Islamic festivals than Christian ones.

@Paul_Heron_ Wearing visible signs of your religious affiliation is identity politics. Unless it's accompanied by actual religiosity, it's just the based version of pronouns on your bio.

@jacobin Definitely nothing to do with the war Hamas started on October 7, or Iran's destabilisation of the region through its terror proxies and their attacks on Israel and shipping in the Red Sea. Glad you got that one straight!
English
The United States is largely acting like it’s business as usual in the Middle East and Iran right now. But Israel’s assassinations of top leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah have brought us to the precipice of an absolutely disastrous war throughout the region. jacobin.com/2024/08/israel…

We're in Berlin at the end of February and 500% excited. Staying in Mitte, and hoping to stuff ourselves silly - any bakeries we should be heading to? (And bookshops, of course... But really, we're after the biscuits.)
