Perhaps people who are celebrating the cuts to Aid in the USA and Uk - and think that โ€œit was all corruption and woke nonsenseโ€ would like to read this thread on the real world impacts of cuts to development for hundreds of millions ๐Ÿ‘‡

If you add a string of conditions to a proposal for an unconditional ceasefire, you have, in fact, rejected the unconditional ceasefire.

All entry points into Gaza are closed. At the border, food is rotting. Medicine is expiring. Vital medical equipment is stuck. If the basic principles of humanitarian law still count, the international community must act to uphold them.

This is the post I never wanted to have to make. Earlier today, news arrived that my position as a history professor for US Army CGSC has been eliminated in accordance with DOD cuts. There is no chance of reassignment, and the entire Fort Belvoir campus will be stood down.

Increasing calls for an independent investigation into the deaths of 15 medical and rescue workers in Gaza. Israel maintains that six of the 15 were Hamas members, but that wouldnโ€™t be an acceptable defence in court. The deliberate killing of medics and paramedics is a war crime.

People still act like a special bell will ring signaling the arrival of Fascism. Trump just defied a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling. Fascism is here.

Is Israel committing war crimes in Gaza as its former prime minister Ehud Olmert says? Watch โ€˜Unspun Worldโ€™ on BBC Two tonight at 11.05. If you canโ€™t stay up, catch it on iPlayer or BBC News Channel โ€” or listen on BBC World Service.

The Settlers, the doc I made for the BBC, is now available to stream in the US on BBC Select. It couldnโ€™t be more timely with the announcement today that the Israeli govt has approved construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank - which are illegal under international law.

So Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a flunkie goes "Deport!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Utterly heartbreaking. This cannot continue. With no journalists allowed in that war zone, brave surgeons like Victoria Rose are saving lives but also acting as important witnesses. And their testimony is crucial.

These problems require considered, intelligent solutions. Any โ€œtough on crimeโ€ policy which does not have this as its centrepiece is a distraction. A con. Donโ€™t let con artists and hatemongers distract from the real issues.

Fascinating thread ๐Ÿ‘‡. Please read. Chris was Mentioned in Despatches for his courage, professionalism and judgement as a young Captain during the Falklands War 1982. Today arrested for calling out Israeli war crimes. What a tragic indictment of this governmentโ€™s moral collapse
