I know no one asked, but over on X, JK Rowling is celebrating the IOC ban on trans athletes by once again attacking Imane Khelif, a cisgender woman, claiming that she is a man. A reminder that transphobia is just old-fashioned misogyny.

I think that those who oppose the genocide and apartheid of Palestinians should have the freedom to express those views without state censure or the threat of violence.

Genocide has a legal definition. Israel's treatment of Palestinians meets every element of it—across every inch of the land, in the West Bank as in Gaza.

Israel Is Also Committing Genocide In the West Bank
It's not just Gaza--Israel wants to exterminate all Palestinians, everywhere. We are one people being destroyed as one people.

Three Israeli illegal outposts were established in the past day in Area A territories, and one more in Area B territory and one in Area C territory. Five Palestinians were shot with live fire by Jewish rioters, one of the injured in critical condition. All of this - Last few days

Out of the tens of thousands of Olympians since the turn of the century, there have been two (2) who are transgender women - one finished dead last, the other at the bottom of the field. This is not about fairness, or "protecting women" - it is about witch-hunting trans women out of existence.

A controversial pro-Israel lobbying group made an “urgent suggestion” to Micheál Martin’s department about lines to include in a speech he gave – and the taoiseach complied. The Claims Conference said, “We realize that this is very short notice."

Detecting a slight imbalance in how the Irish Times and the govt react to aluminium from Ireland ultimately reaching Russia and how they react to active, positive support for genocide and illegal acts of murderous aggression and destruction by certain other countries, weird.
