The Israeli army bulldozed parts of a cemetery in Gaza which houses the graves of Allied solders, including dozens of British and Australian soldiers, from World War II.
The IDF has falsely claimed that the dismantling was done out of self defense due to it being an "active combat zone".

It definitely goes both ways. Nobody with a moral compass becomes a billionaire and vice versa
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

My friendship with Noam Chomsky goes back decades. But, reading his friendly correspondence with Jeffery Epstein made me shudder. I know that Noam cannot defend himself. But in many ways, the emails speak for themselves. See my note: www.counterpunch.org/2026/02/03/o...

Well, the thing is that Sánchez has not left X (on the contrary, he’s so comfortable there that he has not opened an account here) and has paid millions to Space X to launch satellites.
The Sánchez 🇪🇸 government has
- built Europe's boom economy
- hiked minimum wage from €736 to €1221
- cut insecure work from c.30% to c.13%
- regularised, not demonised, migrants
- stood up for human rights
- refused to humiliate itself before Trump
No wonder Musk hates it.
