The looting of aid in Gaza by "humanitarian rights organisations-backed Hamas" was -of course- actually by Israel, because Israel lies, Western media just prints it, and now a year later the rectification is published after the Palestinians are dead already.

Senate Republicans are going after basic vehicle-safety mandates, like automatic brakes and child safety alarms.

The far-right weirdos who say we have no obligation to care for one another are in the minority.
