Because slaughtering 1200 people in the most gruesome way possible, filming yourself doing it, to provoke a massively superior army to attack you is furthering Palestinian liberation?
When will you understand that Hamas doesnā€™t want to liberate, but martyr Palestinians?

We are being asked to understand global news through the prism of a media that has completely overused, abused and debased the term 'Far Right'. It's becoming harder and harder to know what real threats are. Accurate language, especially the harshest accusations, really matters.

The mainstream media does not get it or refuses to acknowledge the fact that the real issue is not radicalised extreme right wing thugs but the powerful corrosive influences that that undermine Irish society.

Went to private IDF screening of unfiltered footage of 7th October earlier tonight. Seen things that I can never unsee. No words. But I am going to have to try and find some. Too much even to cry. Body still shaking.

I will be going on this march. I have severe worries about some Israeli government strategies, and also do not support implementation of the IHRA definition of antisemitism. But it is important to support those opposing real hatred towards Jewish people.

I notice that whenever difficult political issues arise in the west, the answer from the political class and social elites is always ā€˜itā€™s the far right wot done it - smash the far right!ā€™ whilst the questions and issues remain ignored.

How long can they imagine that will work?
