I was wrong. I thought the US would at the very least defend Rafah, as it said. I thought a commitment repeated so many times meant something. Especially after the massacre of the convoy, the killing of aid workers. Now a million people have been expelled and 40% of the buildings destroyed.

Look, is it deeply uncomfortable to watch the only Jewish state be taken to ICJ? Yes. Have they earned this? Also yes. If you’re filming your crimes, it’s pretty bold to call it anti-Semitism
Unfortunately they hunt kea
They are a real issue here in Arthur’s Pass

Mighty Ape currently has my book at 31% off as part of their New Years sale until the 14th (or while stocks last) this is the lowest retail price of seen it at, so if you've been waiting for a price drop now's the time
If you support liberation for Ukraine but not for Palestinians, or vice versa, you are probably not the freedom loving anti-imperialist that you think you are.
Just reminder that brutal ethnic cleansing is apparently perfectly OK if the victims are Palestinians (or Armenians for that matter)

In mixed global warming news, my growing zone here in Ohio has been updated from 6b to 7a. I'd already been experimenting with growing zone 7 plants the last 5 years because... global warming. But now it's official. bygl.osu.edu/node/2288
They are fairly easy to make but I don’t have a consistent shape.
It was fun to get up before everyone else, play Rose Betts in my headphones, bake bread while everyone slept and lay the table so people woke up to fresh bread and a decorated table.

Really tired of people hiding behind the “it’s complicated” stuff with Israel and Palestine. No shit that the entire history is complicated, that’s a different issue than dropping bombs on hospitals, that isn’t complicated. That’s bad.
A quarter of Gaza's population, some half a million people, could be dead within a year from disease outbreaks
I wonder if sewerage has anything to do with that whole 3 Waters thing they threw out to be racist? #NZPol
Seriously, if you think that a formal South African Government filing with the International Court of Justice, citing the results of actual intergovernmental investigations, is anti-Semitic propaganda then you are way way down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole
Did you even read it? It’s the South African Government filing with the International Court of Justice. The bits I am quoting from are from various international commissions that have documented actual war crimes. You need to get your head out of the sand. Read it.
Did you even read the South African Government filing?
I look forward to seeing if he actually reads the South African filing with the International Court of Justice or whether he opts to remain in blissful ignorance.
To help you I have found salient sections of the filing with the Court that highlights some findings of some earlier investigations pre Oct 7.
Well you could start by reading up on the recent South African filing with the International Court of Justice which documents multiple investigations by various international bodies that identify significant Israeli war crimes in Gaza spanning many years: www.icj-cij.org/sites/defaul...
Don’t take my word for it, these are former IsraelI soldiers talking about the massacre in just one village: m.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ1T...
I agree it is in a war crime and about as bad as the war crimes carried out by the state of Israel when it forced out 750,000 Palestinians through a campaign of violence and terror that slaughtered thousands in what has become known as the Nakba. 400+ towns and villages were depopulated.
And if you really do have an open mind I recommend that you read the South African filing before international Court of Justice.

IF ONLY SOMEONE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY PREDICTED THAT TURNING THE BASIC HUMAN NEED FOR SHELTER INTO A SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT COULD HAVE NEGATIVE REPERCUSSIONS
'Do not swim' and high risk warnings at most Auckland beaches because of sewage flowing into the sea.
Three Waters was much needed.
