Excellent article on how the Israeli far-right is destroying the coexistence of Jewish and Arab Israeli citizens, and with it, Israeli democracy. By Jack Omer-Jackaman, who had turned Fathom into a rare voice of sanity on Israel-Palestine. fathomjournal.org/opinion-the-de…
Cedomir Antic's review of Dejan Djokic's 'A Concise History of Serbia'. The reviewer points out a lot of factual errors and one or two departures from the patriotic narrative... istorija20veka.rs/wp-content/upl…
This is racism, isn’t it? No other word for it. A venue can’t ban people because they’re Jewish. What would happen if far right thugs posed a risk to a venue with black performers? Would they be banned too? Of course not. Everyone would be rightly outraged telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…
This is shameful. Jewish comedians have their Fringe shows cancelled because venue staff felt “unsafe”. Let’s hope Creeger and Simon find alternative venues and the @edfringe helps them to do so
Spain’s Minister of Social Rights, Pablo Bustinduy, broke ranks with the international silence and made it clear: “no company operating in Spain will be allowed to profit from the blood of the Palestinian people.” Spain won’t be a safe haven for corporations enabling genocide.

Lumo on Twitter gives me an email address that just refers me back to their bogus, non-functional 'Refund Portal', as they try to avoid issuing me with a refund. They presumably count on some customers just giving up, but I plan to take these cowboys to court.
Hi Marko. I just replied to your other tweet before reading this one, sorry. If you can't submit a claim through the portal, please send your tickets over to our Customer Experience team directly by emailing [email protected] ^Mariel
HOW BOSNIA COULD BREAK EUROPE In my new @ForeignAffairs piece, I show how Dodik & RS assault on the constitutional order targets the very idea of a unified Bosnian state. Unless stopped, Europe & U.S. will face consequences later — on far worse terms. foreignaffairs.com/bosnia-herzego…
Looks like 'Charlotte' isn't going to reply to me and sort out my issue. What a surprise 🙄 @LumoTravel is a cowboy company that tries to evade refunding tickets for cancelled trains. Its 'Refund Portal' deliberately doesn't work.
Hi there, please can I check where you purchased your ticket? ^Charlotte
They say that if you don't like the weather in Iceland, wait ten minutes and it will change. A bit like Trump's policies. economist.com/leaders/2025/0…
Good that this has become a national scandal. High time that we purged this hateful woke ideology from our education system. mol.im/a/14910485 via @MailOnline
In an interview with The Sun, Courtney said that when her teacher saw her, she immediately told her to get changed into a second hand school uniform and didn’t want to hear about her dress. Teachers should not be teaching British children to feel ashamed of their culture.
Today, the Israeli Knesset voted on whether to impeach me from Parliament. And with great pride, I can say: the fascists failed. They failed for one reason: you, the people. They tried to silence us, but our voices were louder. Palestinians and Jews, from every corner of…
