Israelis every time they see a piece of media showing bad people doing bad things
At this very moment, Netanyahu's plane is flying over France, with the approval of its government. A clear violation of the Rome Statute that France is a signatory to.

The Brits? Committing genocide? Well I never…

The only democracy in the Middle East to starve newborns and to cause the highest number of children killed, orphaned and amputated. Inhumanity record, 2025.
Israel is starving NICU babies. Not by mistake—by policy. The milk is gone. Mothers starving too. When Israel says it’s defending itself and the EU and US echo it this is what they mean. No other regime is committing cruelty like this. Starving infants. Deliberately.
It's now clear from the Israeli occupation forces own figures that they've murdered over 377,000 people so far in Gaza.... That's more than 100 times the death toll in the North of Ireland over 30 years...they have slaughtered in 20 months. Unforgivable...the most evil regime…

Ahead of 🇪🇺 foreign ministers meeting, 110+ NGOs & trade unions urge suspension of #EU-#Israel Association Agreement Under the #Genocide Convention, EU states are bound to act. Signatories "appalled" it took so long for the EU to launch the AA review: hrw.org/news/2025/06/1…
"Mo Chara’s real problem is that the message he put out landed. Working-class people aren’t meant to speak like this, organise like this, or connect struggles across borders like this. That’s what scares them. While Mo Chara stands in the dock for allegedly waving a flag, those…

There's a doctor from the US who worked in Gaza on Drivetime RTÉ right now talking about treating children who were SHOT IN THE HEAD by the Israeli military and still our government won't impose sanctions on Israel.
Israel is using starvation as a weapon — not to win the war, but to stretch it. By blocking aid and delaying ceasefires, it turns hunger into a tool of control, coercion, and slow annihilation. Cartoon by @LatuffCartoons

One thing I learned about my job this week is that there's an absolute obligation on politicians (and others) to speak to former candidates of far-right parties who later say they are journalists. This is of fundamental importance so that video content can be created to try to…
More dreaded marketing. We really do count on our readers though. clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/
Finally got around to watching Louis Theroux's The Settlers tonight. Openly genocidal fascists justifying their war crimes with fairytales. Zionism really is the successor of Nazism.
