When the war in Ukraine started, journalists openly spoke about how we should care because it was happening in Europe, to Europeans, people like 'us' who aren't 'used' to war. In the hierarchy of humanity some lives matter a whole lot more in the West.

'Do you know if Hamas were there [in Al Shifa hospital]?'

Tanya Haj-Hassan: 'I am just shocked that we're still having this conversation. [The Israelis] executed tens of people point blank, including one of our colleagues, Dr Ahmed Almaqadma, & his mother, who's also a physician'

'If he had gone on the radio and said, 'Christianity's a decent religion and Judaism is not.' I think you would have seen a bigger backlash.'

Branding Richard Dawkins’ comments ‘islamophobic’, ＠mehdirhasan tells ＠AnushkaAsthana that bigotry towards Islam has been 'normalised'.

This is quite something: Richard Dawkins, undoubtedly the world's leading atheist, the author of The God Delusion, comes out as 'cultural Christian' and calls for the UK to promote Christianity as opposed to Islam, which he calls 'not a decent religion'.

i actually think it’s fine to put some popular pressure on full grown adult professional musicians to refuse to participate in an event for political reasons, especially when the reasons are “the highest legal bodies in the world find genocide plausible”

My Easter reading:

Complaining about train ticket prices?

Why have you not considered booking 6 weeks in advance for an off-peak train meaning you miss the meeting you are travelling for, but it is cHEapEr?

This horrifying report in Haaretz הארץ now almost reads nostalgically: these days the snipers aim to kill

'42 Knees in One Day': Israeli Snipers Open Up About Shooting Gaza Protesters

A lot of the reactions to the Owen Jones piece seems to be “Labour are going to win cry more”. But he knows they are going to win, he thinks Labour need to be pressured from the left, given their constant pushing to the right. And he’s correct. Boring tweet but there we are.

🚨 An Israeli army drone pursued four civilian youths who attempted to reach their destroyed homes and killed them with missiles in Khan Younis at the start of last February.

‼️ Not only were these boys obviously unarmed & posing no threat or danger whatsoever, but they were

I mean I’d be happy too if I stole someone else’s home and got billions of dollars from foreign nations every year

🟥 FACT: Labour is run by a group of centre-right conservatives who got elected to the leadership by lying and pretending to be left-wing. They then expelled, sacked and marginalised everybody to the left of Thatcher.

That's what happened. It's not more complicated than that.
