The gap between the rhetoric and reality of western politicians on Gaza.

PINNED

Biden's SOTU address really brought home how much the western governments are doing to prevent genocide of the Palestinians but it's missing the things that need to happen. The Biden administration is critical of Israel. It is asking Netanyahu to...

Expel all Palestinians from Gaza, recommends Israeli gov’t ministry

PINNED

A leaked paper shows that an Israeli govt ministry recommended this days after the Hamas attack. This does not prove that it is official government policy, but it does prove that this has been at least considered at a high level. (Quote)...

On Misapplied Truisms

PINNED

Once you notice this in debate, you can never unnotice it again and it's unfortunately become a very common tactic in political discourse. A misapplied truism is when someone says something completely self-evidently true that appears to be a...

Are our government's complicit in a coming genocide?

PINNED

I really want to be wrong but I fear that I am not. I started off predicting that tens of thousands would die in Gaza. I really hate to say that but think it will be in the hundreds of thousands. All the signs are that Israel is trying to make Gaza...

Will allies get dragged into Israeli war with Iran?

I think that this is highly possible. The Iranian air strike was designed for show for their domestic audience. How do we know? They tipped off the Iraqi government (a NATO ally/ vassell) at 72 hours notice and they were always going to pass the...

Did Israel deliberately target the aid workers?

José Andrés, the boss of World Kitchen finds it implausible that this could have been an accident. (Quote) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-gaza-world-central-kitchen-strike-jose-andres-direct-attack-aid-workers/ But wait: this makes no sense,...

Israeli Air Strikes kill three British aid workers in Gaza

The IDF must be disappointed with such a low number. /S. The British government say they are unhappy "In no uncertain terms."

Three Body Problem on Netflix.

I'm an episode and a half in. I can't tell if it's genius or a hipster version of Rebel Moon. Please let me know, without spoilers.

Barbarians is Elassar's home, like Glittereater has uncategorized.

I need my own category. Let's vote/

Most US Conservatives think that the 2020 election was rigged.

So why bother standing in the next one? It doesn't make any sense, if you genuinely think that the system will be set against you. Also, the Democrats rigged it extremely badly because they didn't give themselves a super-majority. It's a case of...

I'm an agony aunt.

I bring the agony. A problem shared is one doubled *evil skeletor laugh*.

The upcoming US Civil War movie sounds implausible.

Texas and California on the same side? Bollox. Nobody could suspend disbelief that much.

Touching from a distance, closer all the time.

UK Conservatives lose popularity after pre-election tax bribe.

The Tories reputation is so far in the gutter that 37% of people surveyed think that their taxes have gone up with the latest budget. This is factually untrue because taxes have been cut. However, the British public is so sick of this party that they...

6 nations this Saturday

This was a fantastic and dramatic day of rugby with two great games and upsets. Firstly, well done to Italy, so often the whipping boys but they have really improved. A draw with France (that they should have won) now backed up with dramatically...

Bald Nazis vs Taliban led by white saviour soy boy, Sorry: spoiler alert.

Chaos in the UK Parliament.

It almost fills me with Nostalgia about the Brexit era but this time it's about Gaza. The SNP (Scottish National Party) to the left of Keir Starmer's labour and had a motion (bill) calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Because some labour MP's...

Glenn Greenwals has done so much excellent journalism and is an icon for the left but he's morphed into a Trump apologist. I've just seen a liong debate he had with Destiny on the January the 6th and Greenwald was adamantly defending the idea that...

My mum is in intensive care.

She's been in this state for a few days and it's not looking good. It's a lung infection and she has COPD. She's being kept alive by drugs and breathing machines in an induced coma. Reading between the lines if what the doctor says, it's not...

Epic Double standards

Anyone who chants "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," is apparently in denial about their antisemitism because the 'free' bit is taken to mean being in favour of genociding other people rather than wanting to be free from oppression....

Best podcast episode I've seen in ages.

I am really into politics. Much into politics. 😊 I'm a leftist but I don't want to just stick to that and Aaron Bastani's guest here is a heterodox centre-right economist who has some fascinating insight into current geopolitics. They have a...
