Absolutely the right message to be delivering to/ in Washington DC.

Why is an illiterate physician-turned comedian-turned-human scientist speaking on behalf of Arabs and/or Muslims?
Semite is not a race, you doofus. It is a family of languages. Europeans borrowed the name of Biblical Shem, son of Noah, to paint Jews as hailing from a non-European…

Dean Chemerinsky shared his point of view in this interview. One important fact he confirms is that the protestor brought her own PA equipment. People are spreading the idea it was set up by the hosts and students were encouraged to speak, when in fact she disrupted the dinner.

Absolutely. Conspiratorial paranoia of this vintage has a long and disreputable history.

No surprise here. One of the best national security and military history podcasts out there.

“Russia shows no signs of stopping nor does Russia intend to stop with Ukraine.”

A group of Berkeley law students accepted an invitation to dine at the private home of dean Erwin Chemerinsky and his wife, a law professor, then disrupted the event and refused to leave. Bizarrely, this student claims her conduct is protected by the 1st Amendment. Activists are…

I had forgotten my favourite OJ Simpson fact (probably my favourite fact), OJ Simpson was a sprinter before becoming an American footballer, he took part in a race in 1967 won by a British athlete who ran under 10.2s for the second time that year

That athlete, Ming Campbell

Wonderful to launch “Iron Imperator” in a packed room in London today. Thanks to the Ax:son Johnson Foundation & Centre for Grand Strategy for their organizational prowess & to Neville Morley for his generous and thoughtful commentary.

It’s astonishing how little coverage the civil war in Sudan is getting, the number of people caught in the violence is staggering

V apt but the cruel irony will likely be lost on Amnesty. twitter.com/JudahAriGross/…

Navalny had his prisoner of conscience status removed by Amnesty for “discriminatory statements”, a move which they admit increased his persecution by the Russian state, but they’ll eulogise a man who gouged out the eyes & cut off the genitals of an off duty teenage soldier.

Won’t someone think of the torturers! 😢

Israeli officials said Burns laid out a proposal asks Hamas to compromise on the number and identity of the prisoners they want released, and to deliver a list of 40 Israeli hostages who are alive that they can release in return. Israel would have to make more compromises on the…

If so, this would confirm the worst. That Hamas have tortured, raped and killed all the women, children and elderly that they took hostage.

This thread has a very clear explanation of how willing Bibi was to bend over backwards to still get a deal even after it was revealed Hamas had killed too many sick and elderly and children to make the deal. Starting to look like Israel was the only one that wanted a deal.

It’s important to remember this, because I’ve had people trying to gaslight in my mentions claiming that this sort of thing didn’t happen, that no one in the UK celebrated on October 7th as 1,200 Jews were slaughtered.

They absolutely did celebrate.

This is the best analysis I've read of the tragic events that surrounded the attack on the aid convoy, raising pertinent questions and addressing the broader ramifications for humanitarian operations in warzones.

This is so unbelievably sad: 'A delegation of Palestinian and other Arab politicians praised China’s policies in Xinjiang during a visit to the northwestern region.'

This is what it looks like when a once-serious journalist turns himself into a social media outrage machine, and then trots out his YouTube clickbait material on a regular news show. The dismissive 'there's nothing offensive' about something so obviously offensive is perfect.
