Once again, Israel expanding its borders through seizing of territory and liquifying of the indigenous population: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

It's amazing to watch American & British chattering classes convinced that democracy is dead / post-liberalism is here because of cultural issues. Not once do they think, it's the economy stupid. Meanwhile, in Canada, land of no billionaires, liberal democracy is alive and well.

Trump's "peace" plan is continued denigration and humiliation of the Palestinian people. No one should accept this horrific proposal from American fascists and Israeli war criminals.

Political violence is awful. Charlie Kirk was a grifting scumbag. Remember his "amazing patriot" comments? These fascists don't care about freedom of speech -- they care about silencing people, quashing dissent and destroying democracy.

Six murdered Israelis was the headline on The Guardian today. Six Palestinians were murdered, without comment, in the time it took you to read this. Humanism.

Is "This is not normal" American for "Fuck fascism!" Such muted and measured response from Americans to their new king. When will they actually, you know... do something to stand up for their republic!?!?

It is outrageous that Canada has not suspended our free trade agreement with Israel in response to the ongoing war crimes committed against the Palestinian population. Canada should not have free trade agreements with nations committing genocide.

The Israeli military said suspects had deviated "from the designated access routes" outside an aid center in Gaza so they had to open fire into a crowd of civilians and kill Palestinians for the third day in a row www.bbc.com/news/article...

Children are being starved to death in Gaza. The Labour government said nothing until the IDF shot at UK diplomats. And yet the Brits target an Irish group for "terrorism" for speaking up. i may have some issues with Kneecap's actions but I will defend Irish artists over spineless British leaders.

Israel is committing mass crimes against humanity aided and abetted by the refusal of the west to say anything. Our refusal to call out the actions of a war crimes state makes this our genocide. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...
