We are getting to the point where we are increasingly normalising the idea that direct war with Russia is inevitable.

This will significantly increase the chance of nuclear apocalypse, in which the lucky ones will die in the initial blast.

It is OK to resist this. There is no question that Vladimir Putin is a very unpleasant irredentist autocrat.

My question here is, leaving aside existing Western horrors inflicted on the world, if Donald Trump achieves his goal of annexing, say, Gaza and Greenland, are we going to war with the US?

Keir Starmer's aides openly brief that he is not actually running the country.

He's just the frontman for Labour's most right-wing faction, a bunch of unpleasant political gangsters who don't believe in much, apart from hating the left. Fascinating how Keir Starmer's leadership campaign lying to and conning the Labour membership can be treated as just a throwaway line.

Rather than a scandalous act of deception, which drenched Starmer's political project in dishonesty from the start.

The public parading of detainees is indeed unacceptable.

If you're going to damn all Palestinian society for it, where does that leave Israel, which stripped little children to their underwear and paraded them in front of cameras?

"Human bestiality", says @faniaoz.

Let's talk about human bestiality.

Like an Israeli army which deliberately shoots children in the head and chest, as dozens of US-based medics testified.

nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Curious about who this man is?

He once posted the X-ray of a Palestinian child who had been shot in the head by the Israeli army - and turned it into a joke.

https://twitter.com/Mr_Andrew_Fox/status/1884300454617923885

This disgusting little man then tried to claim this X-ray was a hoax, along with the testimonies of dozens of US-based medics who had served in Gaza.

My latest piece on Palestinian hostages has driven pro-Israel extremists into howling outrage.

None of them have tried to rebut the facts.

There's a simple reason for this: they don't have a factual rebuttal.

https://twitter.com/owenjonesjourno/status/1884240355593470415

Here are the facts.

Between 1967 and 2021, Israel locked up an estimated one million Palestinians.

Of those, 50,000 were children.

Donald Trump wants to empty Gaza of its Palestinian population.

This is ethnic cleansing.

It's not subtle. It's not even slightly disguised.

It's loud and proud support for an obscene war crime.

That Israel's plan all along was to annihilate Gaza, so that its people were either killed or driven out, was obvious from the start.

I recorded this video in November 2023. The evidence was always there, from the very start, in plain sight.

A ceasefire gives the surviving Palestinians of Gaza a chance to live.

Here’s what must remain forever buried in the apocalyptic rubble of Gaza.

The reputations of the Democratic leadership. They’re left naked, exposed, as the willing architects of genocide. In 466 days of genocidal mayhem, the Democrats posed as troubled bystanders as they armed Israel to the teeth to wipe Gaza from the earth and butcher its people.

All that cynical handwringing had one purpose - to disguise the truth: they could have stopped this at any moment.

This is absurd.

The @nytimes published a piece about Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza.

They refer to an Israeli order allowing the killing of up to 20 civilians, including if the target was a "lowest-ranking fighter".

They claim the order "has not previously been reported." But it was previously reported - indeed nearly 9 months ago, in Israeli-Palestinian media outlet @972mag?

972mag.com/lavender-ai-is…

In BBC coverage, mentions of Israeli and Palestinians deaths competed for space since 7th October.

That's despite far more Palestinian deaths.

There's one exception - a huge spike in the mentions of Palestinian deaths in early April.

The reason for this should disturb you. On 1st April 2024, Israel bombed a World Central Kitchen aid convoy.

That killed multiple Western aid workers. So the BBC took a heightened interest in their deaths.

But their driver was Palestinian. So after mentioning their nationalities, they'd mention his.

Here's the thing.

Whenever you get smeared with a false claim of antisemitism - I dunno, you object to Israeli hooligans beating people up, or Israeli soldiers shooting kids in the head - click on their profile.

You will almost always come across a sewer of racism. On the one hand, there are the right-wing extremists who openly incite racist bile against Arabs and Muslims.

Then there are the 'liberals' who don't even pretend to treat Palestinian or Muslim life as having worth, or treat anti-Arab racism as having meaning.

All are racists.

This is a massive media scandal.

@SkyNews posted a video accurately describing what happened in Amsterdam.

It described violence perpetrated by Israeli football hooligans, and their hideous racism.

They then deleted it. This is the original.

They then posted a re-edit.

Except it's not a re-edit. It's a totally different video, which now qualifies as disinformation.

@SkyNews then posted a tweet saying their previous video didn't meet their standards for balance and impartiality.

That was deleted too.

Imagine Russian football fans in a foreign city:

- Interrupted a minute’s silence in memory of dead flood victims with chants in support of killing Ukrainian children

- Rampaged through the city

- Ripped down Ukrainian flags

- Chanted “death to Ukrainians”

- Attacked local residents

Imagine then, when local residents attacked them, they were presented as victims of a racist pogrom. Mainstream media outlets and politicians are simply lying about Amsterdam.

This gaslighting is just insane.

We can see for ourselves what racist, genocidal Israeli football hooligans chanted and did 👇

This was posted by Mohammad Magadli, journalist and Palestinian citizen of Israel.

It's a video of a girl in Gaza, maybe 7 or 8, walking barefoot with her injured sister.

“I'm tired, I have been carrying her for an hour and I can’t now”.

Brace yourself for the responses.

This is Almog Cohen.

He's an elected Israeli politician in his mid-30s, a former police officer who founded a militia force in the Negev.

His tweet has been liked 1,200 times.

Israel will be studied for decades as an example of a nation overwhelmed with genocidal mania.

An Israeli peace activist shares a video of Palestinian children burning alive after an Israeli missile hits a hospital.

Let's see responses from Israelis and hit 'Translate post'.

https://twitter.com/AlonLeeGreen/status/1845785216889016479

This is Yair Oriel, former director of digital at Israeli TV Channel 14.

(Always bear in mind these are responses to someone sharing footage of Palestinian children being burned alive by an Israeli missile)

Israel killed Hind Rajab, her cousins, her aunt and uncle.

They slaughtered the paramedics sent to save her.

If this one atrocity had been committed by Hamas against Israelis on 7th October, it would be seen as one of the most depraved acts that day 👇

theguardian.com/commentisfree/… This is one of thousands of atrocities committed by Israel.

While war crimes committed on 7th October are used to define the nature of Hamas, that does not apply to the never-ending litany of crimes committed by Israel.

What we are witnessing in England is a mixture of a far-right racist riot, pogrom and terrorist insurgency.

It has been whipped up by our media and political elites for decades.

Some of those decrying this horror played their part in making it happen. As our politicians presided over crumbling public services, the trashing of secure jobs, an escalating housing crisis, and falling living standards, it was convenient for both political elites and media outlets to whip up anti-migrant hostility.

Joe Biden has the blood of tens of thousands of Palestinians on his hand.

Israel would never have been able to raze Gaza to the ground without him.

I'm a non-believer, but if Hell exists, that man would have a first class ticket there.

A monster who belongs in jail. There will be outraged responses to this, I'm sure.

But if you're outraged, you simply do not believe Palestinians are human beings, certainly not in a meaningful sense, and that should be the scandal here.

This repeated attempt to conflate 'Israel' and 'Jews' is a) a desperate and disturbing smear and b) implicitly antisemitic,.

Israel is a Western-backed state committing a genocide with Western arms and complicity.

Yes, I am focused on this. That is not "obsession" with "Jews".

Note: I am not quoting a random person here.

This is a former BBC journalist.

He's the independent MP who defeated Starmer ally @JonAshworth.

Since then, he's been smeared over Gaza - as part of a campaign to delegitimise his election win.

Now @shockatadam speaks out.

Judge for yourself. When Labour lost seats over Gaza and the lack of a genuine alternative to the Tories, it had a choice.

It could have said, 'We want to listen and learn, we want to rebuild trust.'

It did not do this. Instead Labour launched a campaign claiming that it was cheated.

Yoav Gallant, Israel's defence minister - a murderous war criminal - has threatened to take Lebanon back to the Stone Age.

That's the purpose of his threat.

That's why it has been reported as such by notoriously left-wing pro-Palestinian media outlets as... The Daily Telegraph.

https://twitter.com/adammaanit/status/1806409886357397520

Yoav Gallant has a long track record in threatening to "return Lebanon to the Stone Age;.

Here he is in August 2023, i.e. before 7th October.

Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon, and invaded it, committing war crimes so obscene that even Ronald Reagan was repulsed.

This is an Starmerite journo talking about yours truly.

It's really striking how they refuse to accept the left have principled objections and that it must all be a personal grudge.

I don't want to be Starmer's pen pal. I just wanted him to stick by his leadership promises! Starmer's apologists know that the left has a legitimate case.

- Starmer promised transformative domestic policies, then junked them, and promised a broad church, then went to war with the left.

- He backed Tory benefit cuts which drive kids into poverty, and Israeli war crimes
