My parents were murdered on October 7th, and if anyone is slapping us in the face, it's people like you, who for the past 20 years have failed to prevent violence and bloodshed in Israel-Palestine, whilst making inflammatory remarks. Your administration could stop the war…
The United States strongly rejects @EmmanuelMacron’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the @UN general assembly. This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th.
"We are now considering alternative options to bring our hostages home". A highly accomplished snake-oil salesman. Why didn't he consider these options a year ago? Because they don't exist, except in Netanyahu's endless catalogue of spin.
Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff got it right. Hamas is the obstacle to a hostage release deal. Together with our U.S. allies, we are now considering alternative options to bring our hostages home, end Hamas’s terror rule, and secure lasting peace for Israel and…
Non credo possa esistere nulla di più avvilente che vedere persone “di sinistra” irridere proposte politiche di sinistra per aumentare i salari di lavoratrici e lavoratori. Ma allora essere di sinistra cosa vuol dire? Le parole hanno ancora senso? Per loro evidentemente no
"Demilitarisation of Palestine"? As Israel commits genocide in its most sadistic forms, are new conditions being quietly slipped into the defunct peace process? And still no word on justice, accountability, or reparations, without which peace is unacceptable (post-WWII history…
Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.…
It’s insane how when suggested a social democratic reform that’s been implemented anywhere people don’t live in huts, Americans act like you suggested a virtual impossibility. They then get this gormless, bovine look and start talking like a paranoid schizophrenic.
The fun thing about Americans is that they will take examples like this to advocate for some batshit insane, backwards idea that women shouldn’t work, rather than just implementing maternity leave like every other civilized nation on earth.
This is so sad.
Come riportato da @ilmanifesto, il governo italiano continua a intrattenere rapporti con il governo Netanyahu, invitando aziende italiane della difesa a manifestare il loro interesse nella fornitura di prodotti a Israele in vista di un “piano di cooperazione bilaterale”.
Since we’re having a complete meltdown over France recognizing the State of Palestine, let’s ask a simple question: To those who reject the two-state solution and also oppose a one-state solution with equal rights or citizenship for Palestinians—what exactly is your solution?
Depp Throat reputedly said, "Follow the money." It's good advice as regards Jeffery Epstein. Where DID he get his?
Tonight in Tel Aviv: protestors chanting "refuse", urging soldiers to refuse service in the Israeli military.
Interestingly, my university (Goldsmiths University of London) has said that all staff will receive mandatory antisemitism awareness training but management won't talk to 8 Jewish members of staff (incl me) who've asked to talk to them. Looking fwd to interesting seshes ahead!

It's unbelievable that American politicians and media outlets still get away with genocide denial every single day while the Israeli government is voting overwhelmingly to put their war crimes in the legislative record. This is unambiguously illegal, and they're proud of it.
Ho scritto per anni della graduale ma visibile convergenza tra liberisti ed estrema destra che caratterizzava l'Italia. Devo dire che però non mi sarei mai aspettato di vedere i liberal del csx ridotti a caricature dei negazionisti della Shoah. Impressionante.
I dubbi sulle foto dei bimbi di Gaza, anche la guerra ha una regia e la pietà può essere manipolata Il commento del direttore @claudiovelardi
A lot of Americans in Ireland, particularly those in business, can’t seem to comprehend why Ireland is so aghast at watching one country starve another. Read a history book.
This is the only rational response at this point.
Parenti's critique of ABC (anything but class) "leftism." As relevant as ever!
The student protesters were obviously correct on Gaza. The reaction to them was obviously idiotic and depraved. We're probably still a while out from this being banal conventional wisdom, but it's coming.
Israel's Hologram-in-Chief lends all of his gravitas towards the goal of perpetuating Israel's state of denial. Herzog is quickly closing the gap with the title holder as the worst President in Israel's history - and number one served jail time as a convicted rapist.
The French President’s declaration will not advance peace in the Middle East. It will not help defeat the threat of terror. And most importantly – it will certainly not help bring them home any sooner.🎗️
Esclusiva de @ilmanifesto Una mail smentisce il governo sulle armi a Israele: lo stato maggiore della difesa convoca le aziende del settore interessate e pronte a vendere sistemi militari e dual use mentre a Gaza c'è un genocidio in corso ilmanifesto.it/lincontro-che-…
Nel giro di una generazione la guerra diventerà impossibile perché i soldati non riescono a smettere di postare.
Unreal OPSEC going on in Cambodia rn.
