Hard to imagine a more serious test of the BBC's capacity for impartiality than it's coverage of Gaza. It failed completely with the world watching. Can't quietly row back from that.

737 NG, because it allows the pilots to goof off a bit every now and then – which poses no risk to passengers or crew – without computers kicking in and going “hmm I want to kiss the ground”

The US defunded the primary UN organization feeding the people of Gaza in Jan 2024 and no one batted an eye. They did it to help Israel use aid as a weapon of war. Now as the predicted famine arrives in full everyone is throwing their alibis together and it makes me fucking sick

The first high-profile figure to defame Jeremy Corbyn must meet such a barrage of pre-action letters that replying runs them into bankruptcy—just from the cost of paper. Absolutely no apologising. Fund the initial beginnings of the party by taking money off these arseholes.

The way to do this is to summon the Israeli Ambassador, explain that if aid isn’t trucked in without hindrance within 24 hours then all economic and military ties will be suspended, sanctions imposed, the Ambassador expelled, and Britain will join South Africa’s ICJ case. But no.

when Bourdain said free Palestine and called out the racist vilification of Palestinians by the media class that paved the way for the genocide: "The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinian people, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity."

i mean i remember tweeting back in 2021 about how structurally israel was inevitably going to commit genocide. and i am just some guy

and i remember hearing arguments as far back as ~2010 that Oslo and the separation wall and the Gaza withdrawal all together made it more or less inevitable too

No fucking way. If you weren’t able to call this by, oh, the 8th October 2023 you’re either stupid or wilfully malevolent and you don’t belong anywhere near a “prOgResSIve CoALitIOn fOr cHaNgE”

mental that it's a widely-document open secret that israel actively spies on and interferes with the domestic politics of even its closest allies, and we're meant to believe that even using the term "israel lobby" is antisemitic

For the liberals who have come around to recognizing Israel's genocidal campaign, what are the implications besides Stop? Do you all support the war crimes prosecution of US citizens serving in the IDF? How does it shape your understanding of the Houthi leadership in Yemen?

sorry refuse to believe Tom Lehrer is dead, he's the wow did you know he's still alive guy, he can't be dead.

Feed Children Respect Children They are innocent

Well I believe Tzipi Hotovely should be fed to starving dogs. What now?

The Israelis are telling journalists covering the aid drops not to film Gaza from the air or they will stop allowing air drops. They don't want the world to know that they have flattened more than 70% of Gaza.

someone should invent hasbara for Israel

As a racist gay man I am not privileged with the clarity of an obvious political home on either the left or the right uwuuuuuuu
