Don’t worry: I’ve been assured that this is not a concentration camp.

Quite.

Meanwhile our politicians bang on in the usual futile “no pressure, guys” way about the Two-State Solution. That train left the station before sone of them were born.

Hopeless. Where are the Palestinians supposed to go next?

The Two-State Solution has been an absurdity for decades, and yet it is all that our useless politicians have to talk about, all the while applying zero pressure on Israel, not even to moderate its occupation & deter its land grab.

IDF officers in Gaza admit that the systematic destruction of homes and infrastructure in Gaza is not designed to protect soldiers. Instead, it is a campaign of revenge aimed at preventing Palestinians from returning and preparing for mass expulsions. After the Trump

I’m afraid that one just has to say “so what?” Int’l law has no purchase over the actions of rogue states, especially when they are facilitated & protected by other states that are not (yet) rogue — the US consistently, U.K., Germany & other champions of rule-based order too.

In case you're wondering what a modern genocide looks like, we have pictures like this that will haunt us for a long time to come. One day, everyone will have always been against this.

The neighbours from hell keep visiting.

Two former Israeli Air Force pilots wrote the following piece: "In a deadly airstrike intended to hit several Hamas commanders (there is debate over whether they numbered a few dozen or less), new records were set. From the munitions dropped by Air Force pilots, about 300

“Direct them by fire.”

Quite evident that these guys are very confident that international law doesn’t apply to them. Self-advertised genocidaires.

Mr Goldberg is interesting as usual. Maybe Ben Gvir & Smotrich are just figureheads/whipping boys, but you can’t sanction a whole body politic.

This is a very interesting thread. It would be nice to think that it was correct, and to hope that Ukraine does not have to pay an intolerable price for its partial survival, even supposing that at the end of this phase of conflict it is faced by a Russia reduced to safe weakness

The US didn’t just appoint a King, they went straight for the mad version

A good summary.

This all sounds very familiar. The last VC seems to have had all of the requisite character traits for Leadership in the Modern British University.
