Insane dystopian shit here, totally unacceptable. I expect politicians and commentators to be outraged by it, regardless of their opinion of the crimes these people were convicted of.

🤷‍♂️

Me: (Smart, looking at the most devastating evidence imaginable that my smart plan is an incredible, historic disaster) I was even more right than I suspected

I have no idea what’s been going on here but it does feel like it’s involved some highly dubious behaviour, and not by the defence lawyer.

Given everything we found out later about LAAS, whose every bizarre screech and wild assertion was *stampeded* into print by these publications, with minimal checking on their veracity: I would like to know whether there was more care and attention this time, before we drop this stuff on the public.

The Israeli military operation in Lebanon is not just about Hezbollah. It's the same playbook they used in Gaza—using Hezbollah as an excuse to target civilians according to ethnicity, intentionally murder journalists, and displace people to seize land. Ethnic cleansing. crimethinc.com/lebanon2026

Ruling against Ben Jamal and Chris Nineham will spawn a 'broader chilling effect', groups such as Amnesty and HRW warn https://aje.news/ixv9xz

The swift and outraged international reaction to an IDF soldier smashing a statue while turning a blind eye to the Israeli regime smashing the Palestinian and Lebanese people just serves to demonstrate the moral bankruptcy of the global 'community'. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

"A Palestinian School Day Ended With Israeli Settlers’ Gunfire. A Boy Was Killed, Just as His Father Was 7 Years Ago" Zeteo speaks to witnesses after Israeli settlers kill a 14-year-old Palestinian boy and a 32-year-old man in an attack on a boys school in the occupied West Bank.

I would look at the astonishingly long list of MPs and officials who suicide bombed their own careers to tank their party and put these swine back in the top jobs, and were rewarded for it with peerages and other non-jobs for life or e.g. ambassadorships, and start putting two and two together.

This one seems to have caused panic, and it’s pretty bleak that a picture of a guy smashing a statue of a dude who died two thousand years ago is more internationally disastrous than hundreds of hours of video of civilians being bombed, burned, machine gunned, sniped, evicted and starved.

Okay, but this is just the same shit stacked in different piles. Scotland always had Tories - fewer maybe, but we had plenty. And they tend to vote for whichever unionist parties is perceived to be doing best. Now, because UK politics is unbelievably horrible, that is Farage’s clowns.

Funding a genocide, letting palantir into providing state contracts and getting rid of jury trials, treating opposition to genocide as terrorism. Lib dipsh*ts have to ignore a lot to keep their rose tinted view of Starmer's Labour. Example below.

EXCLUSIVE: "UK surveillance flights over Gaza were conducted with more US involvement than previously known, Federal Aviation Administration documents obtained by Zeteo reveal... [and] put the countries at risk of aiding and abetting war crimes, international legal experts told Zeteo."

🇪🇸 PM Pedro Sanchez: The time has come for the EU to tear up its Association Agreement with Israel. We have nothing against the people of Israel… but a Government that violates international law and… values of the EU cannot be our partner. “NO TO WAR.”

Omg look how awkward Kuenssberg is here!

‘Reconstruction plans imposed on Palestinians with the implicit aim of destroying Palestinian life in Gaza demonstrate the reason Lemkin reserved a place for architecture in his conception of the crime of genocide.’ Eyal Weizman on the destruction of Gaza. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

One of the things Hassan can do is understand and identify a genocide when he sees it - and appreciate it's gravity. Liberal yanks are singularly incapable of doing so, and the lack of ability to do so exposes their liberal racism. Case in point here and below him, with all the performative flags.

Very difficult for me to fathom how magnificently stupid the writer of this post must be. Liberals. Far dumber than they think they are.

#C4News last night reported on the wholesale targeting of ambulances & paramedics in Lebanon by Israel, including the recent 'triple hit', when Israel attacked an ambulance, then attacked paramedics who went to help, and then attacked further paramedics also trying to help.

A mere 920 days since the latest round of horrifying massive violence began, we finally have a “this is bad, please stop”. I am assuming this is because Israel invaded a country that France regards as part of its orbit, then started aggressive demolitions ahead of annexation.

I don't think anything more usefully summarises the UK than seeing the "left wing" government kick the fuck out of one of the few genuinely successful export sectors of the last ten years because racist pensioners who will never vote for them don't like foreigners.

Absolutely not. The West Wing, which I loved as a teenager is racist liberal trash for many reasons + but particularly for reproducing the caricatures that are crucial to allowing white liberals to ignore or even justify the mass killing of brown people in the middle East. youtu.be/URuRJMyPOjQ?...

Israeli soldiers are detonating entire villages in South Lebanon while taking selfies. Ancient mosques, churches, cemeteries, schools, hospitals - all being obliterated by the genocidal regime www.instagram.com/reel/DWrg5xi...

A reminder, again, that the establishment have to maintain that the Corbyn era was a non stop cascade of Hitlerian racism because otherwise their response - a decade of public pants shitting, Boris Johnson, diamond hard Brexit and Keir Starmer - seems like an insane overreaction.

Zeina Khodr: ".. just look at the destruction, mass destruction, mass casualties.. in a matter of minutes.. 180 people killed, hundreds of others injured. As you can see, this is a residential neighbourhood. More homes destroyed.. more people displaced.."

It's quite simple really. Liberals see politics as a competition for rationality, when it's actually a completion of interests. They see their own views as 'common sense' because attaching it to material politics would mean they'd have to uncover their own class politics.

A lot of e.g. Dem Party activists, NGO/charity campaigners etc are habituated to a model of political action that prioritises messaging and awareness so they cling to the belief that their opponents are reasonable but ill-informed people who might be susceptible to their repertoire of tactics.

Kaifun in Aley, Mount Lebanon

neither a garrison state nor an apartheid state, just a normal country, a bastion of democracy even, that happens to subject an ethnically distinct population to a different, militarized legal system complete with capital punishment

This morning, masked police officers arrested activist Qesser Zuhrah under Section 44 of the serious crimes act and Section 1 of the Terrorism Act, for making Instagram posts calling on people to "take direct action". Video from Humanti Project on IG.

The counterterrorism police re-arresting Qesser Zuhrah (one of the Filton 24) for an Instagram post are covering their faces like ICE. When the court releases folks, the police continues the persecute them, also like ICE. Fuck Labour Party and their authoritarian gestapo bullshit.

Israeli forces tortured a 2 year old child from Gaza. Tareq Abu Azzoum reporting.

'Teaching-only staff at Sheffield Hallam University are set to be moved into a subsidiary firm, leaving research intensive scholars the only academics still being employed directly by the institution.' Utterly inequitable & betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the teaching/research nexus. 1/3

Pressed on whether the UK govt allowing the US to use British bases to bomb Iran has dragged us into the war, govt minister Emma Reynolds says we are only allowing the US to use British bases to bomb Iran defensively

"At least 6 Palestinians, including 3 children and a journalist, have been killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza"

“Way too late” doesn’t even touch it. Go back to December 2023, stop shouting about how you are shoulder to shoulder with their fascist government; threaten Europe-wide sanctions instead and *actually work to apply them in government* if you don’t get compliance, or: shut the fuck up and resign.

Sarah Sackman, Labour, used to work for the Israeli Supreme Court. She can’t directly answer the question about the US bombing an Iranian school bcs she’d have to talk about Israel bombing *all* of Gaza’s schools as part of its genocide.

Can you imagine if Britain were ever to elect people who talked a good game but didn’t know what they were doing, or were really just selling the same shit wearing a different hat

I am hoping this will require an extremely rigorous vetting process by the Greens eg you can’t support a genocide then jump to save your seat

I assume this is a defensive attack, because otherwise it looks like the public have been roundly bullshat yet again

Claire thinks party order is more important than opposing in an illegal war and the removal of jury trials. The reason Lewis flunked the leadership contest is because what's left of the Labour party membership are intellectual dullards like Claire. Enjoy your 15% in the opinion polls I guess.

Blaming Iran for America bombing a school. Utterly disgusting

Very hard to overstate how stupid liberals are. Probably taken Chris here hours to think of the next logical step in his argument and what that means for the European public

War crime, again

It's difficult to look at the USA rolling through successive middle eastern countries and leaving badly functional collapsed states in its wake and conclude that's *not* the idea, tbh.
