What Dan Hodges has said about Palestinians, including children, is utterly depraved.
If he said these things about Israelis, his career would immediately end.
So why not when it's about Palestinians?

BlueSky seems to have developed into a lacklustre response to the toxicity of X. Or is it just me who finds that?

An Episcopal Bishop publicly called out Trump today. This is what the Church should be doing - speaking truth to power. I am proud of her and proud of the Gospel.

A whingeing Dem speaks of the futility of challenging Trump then tells me to go fuck myself when I ask what they did to oppose the backing of the carnage in Gaza over the past 15 months. I can’t show you the post because she has now blocked me, like a real freedom fighter.

Keir Starmer's support for the Gaza ceasefire is riddled with lies
Estimates are that it will take 80 years to rebuild Gaza. How is a 'sovereign and viable Palestinian state', or a 'better future', going to emerge out of ruins on that scale?

A new Lancet study finds Gaza has massively undercounted the numbers killed in Israeli attacks.
It argues that the most likely death toll from traumatic injuries alone stood at more than 64,000 – *seven* months ago. Most of the dead were women and children. The figure will be far, far higher now.
