The German police brutally assault an Irish woman protesting against Israel's genocide.
The German state is a disgrace.
It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide.
It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects

Israel’s defence ministry just announced a contract to buy drones from Xtend. Its SKYLORD drone system was developed with €50,000 in EU Horizon money, which is not supposed to fund military applications. The EU grant page links to the current Xtend website, advertising its “military grade” drones

Famously when The Life of Brian came out it inspired no controversy and prominent Christians said it was just a bit of fun, no harm done
Old entertainers need to stop saying this shit. Firstly it's boring grumpiness. Two, It's not true and thirdly, if it's true it also doesn't make sense. How do you "not make" something that already exists

I feel like CMAT has really tapped into something here and it explains why FFG don’t really want to solve the housing crisis - the more recession children who emigrate, the better their chances of constant re-election

Twenty people were killed, including five journalists, by Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital in Gaza this week. Israeli's Benjamin Netanyahu called it a "tragic mishap" and the IDF said it was not targeting the journalists. However, this claim has been strongly disputed by people on the ground
Did Israel target journalists killed in Gaza this week?

By my count this makes 5 out of 12 authors on the Polari First Book longlist who have withdrawn. It's hard to understate the moral courage this involves, esp for folk launching their first book into the world. As so often, those with the most to lose end up showing the most moral fibre.

The declaration that Israel had the right to cut off electricity and water, from the mouth of the heralded human rights lawyer, really was the moment where he exposed himself as a vacuous weathervane, twisting as expedient to secure his position in the moment. Embarrassing we’re still doing this.
