Hey @bsky.app this is what happens when you kick all the Palestinians off the site over and over again
Super weird to be on Twitter, the Nazi site, where everyone is discussing the starvation and genocide in Gaza — then come here, the good place, where there is almost blanket silence on the issue. What's up, Bluesky?

Every diaspora Palestinian I know has been living with survivor’s guilt for 655 days. Guilt & shame for every glass of water, every bite of food, every shower, every daily annoyance, every moment of joy, every booboo we can kiss better, every sleep in our own beds. Our people are being slaughtered.

The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood.
There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

Israel is planning a concentration camp.
That is an objective fact.
It shouldn't need this former Israeli prime minister, former member of Netanyahu's party, ally of war criminal Ariel Sharon to state this obvious fact.

Ehud Olmert says forcing people into camp would be ethnic cleansing, and anger at Israel is not all down to antisemitism

Giving friends of the regime fake ranks and costumes (yes, costumes. They did nothing to earn a uniform. They are not soldiers) is classical fascism. They love the pageantry of nationalism and militarism while being insulated from the real horrors of war.

I know Syrians didn't want him to gift the Golan Heights to Israel
I don't remember elections being held in Syria, do you? The west likes to talk about sovereignty, but no one asked the Syrian people who they wanted in charge, the west made that decision for them. al-Jolani used to cut people's heads off and once had a $10m bounty on his head.

I’ve never seen a journalist unable to conceal their incredulity at the stupidity of something quite like this
This really is not getting the attention it should. The Tories' latest proposal is to exclude *any household that includes any foreign national from any benefit*.
And when asked about it, they keep citing small boat crossings - a minute fraction of migration - to justify it. ~AA

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

At the same time as Alex Deane was defending Israel on Sky Papers last night, the IDF was bombing a health clinic that had become a shelter for displaced families. They bombed it while the men, women & children inside were sleeping.
