Yet another example from the rich capitalist nations where ordinary people have radically different views from governing elites (in this case, the UK Labour government differing from its own party's members).

Mass walkout to clapping and cheers as Netanyahu takes to the podium at the UN general assembly. The chair calls for order in the hall several times.

Here are two minutes of lowlights from Trump’s rambling, hour-long address to the UN General Assembly that Twitter is calling one of the most embarrassing moments in recent US history. Subscribe to zeteo.com for more.

I’m 27. If I went to one funeral a day for every Palestinian child killed in this genocide, I’d still be going at 87.

Just registered for this talk (on Zoom) with Ilan Pappé, to be held on Tues. Sept 30 at 11:00 am Eastern ... and you should register too!

Just noticed that my 2015 book, Economic Equality and Direct Democracy in Ancient Athens, is available as an open access PDF. Not sure it's supposed to be OA, so if you are interested, grab it before it disappears! (It's just 100 pages, including the index!)

Found this comparison of Sociology and Economics at the bottom of a Web rabbit hole.

Bravo! In my most recent book (with Routledge, 2025), I make a similar argument vis-a-vis (failed) attempts to establish social rights in "liberal" welfare states. Courts cannot and will not create these rights. Only legislatures can.

I've published 'The Genocide that Changed the World', my fullest overview of Israel's genocide and its implications, as part of a new roundtable on Gaza and Genocide Studies from @journalgenocide.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

At last, a small ray of sunshine ...

"We should now routinely use *genocide denial* and *genocide deniers* as terms. Make it stick to those who refuse to accept the overwhelming evidence and consensus, and make them pariahs." @owenjones.bsky.social

"To applaud those making the long-foretold pivot for their moral courage is not only unnecessary but perverse; they are, at best, joining a coalition built by the people they insulted, scorned, and in some cases called for arresting when their words counted most."

"By insisting that it is the embodiment of Jews all over the world, the state of Israel seeks to associate Jews everywhere with its systematic war crimes and genocide in Gaza along with deadly ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank."

It is time for the US government to act in accordance with what the world already knows and end this genocide. Stop Arming Israel. jvpa.org/blockthebombs

5 countries will now boycott Eurovision if Israel takes part - Spain, Iceland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Ireland.

"Every country was put on notice by the ICJ that there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.. every country became obliged under the law.. not to speak fine words, to take action to prevent genocide.. that obligation was activated on 24th Jan 2024" Chris Sidoti spells it out

A new adjective from the UK govt on what's happening in Gaza. We've had horrifying, appalling, sickening, intolerable and unacceptable. Now we've got abhorrent. And all the while the UK govt has continued supporting, arming & helping Israel.

My sympathy tank is running close to empty. Its remnants are reserved only for people who have throughout their lives been exemplars of generosity, inclusion, and compassion.

Israel has destroyed another tower block in Gaza City, part of a systematic plan to make the entire city unliveable.

This headline is just too funny. And that photo of Starmer! It captures perfectly his robotic emptiness. (Photograph: Simon Dawson/No 10 Downing Street)

“This attempt at silencing Palestinian voices is the latest in a relentless, decades-long campaign by Israel and its allies to erase the Palestinian people and systematically deny their collective right to self-determination and return’ Al-Haq, PCHR & Al-Mezan statement www.alhaq.org/advocacy/266...

Looks like some of my generous colleagues have been recommending The Dreaded Research Paper to their students. (Thank you!) The attached screenshots are from Amazon Canada, where I'm keeping good company.

Support for Israel is collapsing. In Canada, the US, and Europe, most now see Gaza as a site of genocide. Israel’s brutality is eroding its legitimacy and radicalizing the previously apolitical, while global solidarity with Palestinians continues to grow.

"The Hamas run health ministry said.." Over 22 months of Israels genocide and the BBC is still coming out with this. When they report statements and claims by Israel do they ever say "The regime run by a wanted war criminal said"? Of course they don't, and we know why.

Israel is systematically demolishing Gaza City, razing entire neighbourhoods.

If you deny Israel is committing genocide, you are as much in denial of reality as a climate denier. You are, however, far more depraved.

Uniting 44 nations, the Global Sumud Flotilla sails to support Gaza and challenge injustice. Let’s make our voices heard. #GlobalSolidarity #GlobalSumudFlotilla #StandWithGaza#SailToGaza #BreakTheSiege #GlobalMovementToGaza

Started with this scoldacious meme, but went into the larger questions.

When one chart says everything that’s wrong with a country #Reaganism

Amid international outrage, Israel is now claiming the double-tap strike on Nasser hospital was an accident—after celebrating it in Hebrew media. Drunk on their own impunity they take us all for fools. They mock humanity itself. Hell is not hot enough for these monsters.

Simon Jenkins does not age well.

Does anyone know what historical sources can help me track changing shareholder/corporate expectations of what an "adequate" return on investment looks like since the 1970s? I know that it varies sectorally and that it is, ultimately, more important than literal profitability.

A thoughtful, compassionate article 👇

"People are seeing these horrific images of genocide everyday..." Antony Loewenstein explains that people can see the hypocrisy of govts in how they treated Russia after the invasion of Ukraine versus how they've treated Israel for the last 22 months.

Just returned to Nova Scotia (Antigonish) after 41 years in Ontario. Went out to Mahoney's Beach today and took a couple of videos of the Northumberland Strait roaring in. I missed that sound .... Nice to know it's now just 11 km away. Check it out!

In both Hebrew and Arabic, “Gaza” means strong and fierce. Etymologically, Gaza originates from the Persian “ganj” which means “treasure.” Ancient Egyptians called it the “prized city.” This is what Israel has done to this fierce, treasure of a prized place

And we keep building oil pipelines ... Stupid doesn't even begin to describe it.

Dalia Gebrial on @novaramedia.com: "The consistent decision to preface every report of a murdered Palestinian journalist with Israeli talking points designed to demonise them & legitimise their killing is not part of a journalistic duty towards objectivity. Its an editorial choice steeped in racism"

Israel has flattened Gaza. Its destroyed the basic necessities needed to sustain life. Its kettled over 2 million people into a smaller and smaller area while continuing to bomb them. Its starving them. BBC presenter: "Israel says its not pushing people out".

“There is a campaign in the Israeli media about Israel starving Gazans. From the pictures I see I think they need to lose some weight.” Right-wing Israeli network Channel 14 hosts mock the mother of four-year-old Razan Abu Zaher, who died last week of starvation. Read: zeteo.com?utm_source=n...
