A doctor from al-Nasser hospital shared a picture of the children’s bodies in the hospital, as well as a picture of water jugs left in a pool of blood at the site of the attack on Tuesday. Continue reading...

This is a popular argument among people entirely ignorant of genocide scholarship & international law. It seems unlikely that Netanyahu is one of those people.
Netanyahu responds to genocide accusations: "As Ambassador Huckabee said, if we're practicing genocide we're surely doing a very bad job of it, because we could've basically eliminated the entire population of Gaza, but we went the other direction."

It was extraordinary. There is, for example, no earthly reason why a little-known radio presenter on a commercial station should have become a national rallying point for Brexit reality simply by telling the obvious truth. (He did have to step down from occasionally presenting Newsnight, though.)

‘Sir’ Robbie Gibb made no secret of it. Or his vote for Brexit. Still on the BBC board…
It was SO obvious that journos had orders from above. Anchor after anchor kept telling guests who brought it up, “let’s not relitigate the referendum.” Like that phrase had suddenly been telepathically transmitted into their brains. And anyone who pointed this out was told they were a conspiracist.

Home Office spent £22,000 on failed attempt to stop Windrush report release
Hard-hitting internal investigation found roots of scandal lay in racist immigration legislation
At least £22,000 was spent by the Home Office on hiring lawyers in a failed attempt to prevent the release of a hard-hitting internal report that found that the roots of the Windrush scandal lay in 30 years of racist immigration legislation, officials have acknowledged this week.
The government spent three years attempting to bury a report written by a Home Office commissioned historian, which described how “the British empire depended on a racist ideology in order to function” and noted that immigration laws in the postwar period were designed to reduce the UK’s non-white population.
