Love your work, but you misuse `child'/`childish' too often...Leave the kids out of this. Trump is a vicious *adult* entirely aware of the poison he emits...

Global outrage mounts as funeral held for five journalists killed by Israel Last post from Anas al-Sharif, whom Al Jazeera calls one of Gaza’s bravest journalists, decries failure to stop ‘massacre’

“”I will not leave Gaza even if I am killed. I know I am on the assassination list, but I will continue to expose the crimes of the Israeli army against my people and show the world, and everyone who stands by them, the truth.”” - Anas Al-Sharif

As an Israeli I fully agree: sanctions across the board are the only way forward, w/r to the catastrophe in Gaza, but also the brutal war in the West Bank waged by the settlers/the Israeli Army (whose high command is dominated by settlers, which partly explains the genocidal nature of the Gaza war)

"The most important lesson emerging from this awful episode is not about Glastonbury or the BBC. It is about the moral test that our society faces."

The Chief Rabbi is right.

His endorsement of Israel's ongoing atrocities shows he's already failed that test. Up to the rest of us.

Israeli here (0.5 British): not only should the UK stay out, but along with the rest of the EU enact sanctions against Israel for the genocidal war in Gaza and assure that the war criminal in chief (who launched this war merely to escape the witness stand in his trial!) should make it to the Hague

This kind of smug know-nothing politics is distressingly popular because actually, nobody does the reading. Furthermore, they want to punish the people who do for being nerds.

We left it to the Supreme Court to decide ‘what a woman is’ – they chose wrong The Supreme Court’s decision regarding trans women has made me ashamed of my profession – and ashamed of what our law has become, writes Good Law Project founder Jolyon Maugham KC

UCU stands with trans people, today and every day.

The Supreme Court ruling is not just wrong, it’s dangerous.

We will never stop fighting for trans rights and equality.

BBC Verify analyses video showing Israel's killing of Gaza medics The IDF's killing of 15 emergency workers has drawn international condemnation. BBC Verify examines new footage of the incident.

Israeli soldiers murdered these medical workers, buried them in a mass grave, libelled them as terrorists and then lied about it. One of the ambulance crews' last words were: "I only chose this path because I wanted to help people." www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

A minute's silence for each of the children murdered by Israel in Gaza would extend to over 300 hours.
