We are told that Israel has a “right to exist”; a right unique among nations, not extended to any other state.
So does that mean Israel can continue to commit war crimes & crimes against humanity (including ethnic cleansing & genocide) until the end of the world?

I left too
Agree with your list
But what pushed me out (together with their appalling stance on Gaza & Israel) was their maintaining 1.5m children in poverty for an extra 18 mths by initiallyrefusing to scrap the 2-child benefit cap just to cosplay Tories & show how tough they are on welfare

It’s So very very grim

So Epstein pimped boys too?
I have always suspected that Mandelson was catered for but hadn’t heard there were boy victims

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Muted

Yes perfectly, thank you.
Are you a Czech Bot? Apparently so

‘Is just’ should read *are spouting

Eh, no
It isn’t paraphrasis
But you, by labelling every Muslim country whose government you don’t approve a supporter of ISIL is just Islamophobic nonsense
(& let’s be clear - I don’t approve of the Qatari regime either)
Be consistent who you label monsters.
Perhaps go by actions, not ethnicity??

There’s little to choose between the IDF & ISIL in terms of their terrorism, their war crimes, or the religious fundamentalism & racism underpinning both.
The IDF are the official Israeli armed forces
Whereas there is a lot of doubt re. Qatari government links with ISIL
You spout biased bollux.

She’s not wrong though

UNICEF’s James Elder :
“168 girls were killed in a school in Iran. When the killing of children doesn’t dominate the news politics, something fundamental has shifted…if a child can be killed and it doesn’t feel like a loss for all of us, then I think we’ve lost more than we realize”

‘Misogynistic robots’ a real risk unless more girls get i... Wendy Hall, regius professor of computer science at Southampton University, says women are needed to counter the tech bro bias in AI programming

Add 'sorting out misogynistic robots' to the things your daughter needs to do (for less money than a man) to save society and politics. Or, maybe work to sort out misogyny, which all of us can do? (Of course, that's not required to be a binary).

Unlawful because it’s horrific

The use is unlawful, they were using it in Gaza on Palestinians. Israel, the country Britain calls ally

Since Oct 7th, Israel has turbo charged its long war against the Palestinians, notching up war crime after war crime, crimes against humanity, & genocide; all with total impunity.
It was clear this gives other rogue states permission to follow suit.
I wasn’t expecting the USA to be the 1st to do so.

Reflecting on International Women’s Day and wondering if Yvette Cooper would have designated the Suffragettes a terrorist organisation?
Almost certainly, I think.

The UK's legal position on the use of its bases in the Middle East is solid with one glaring hole: The US cannot act in collective self-defence with the Gulf States. It is the aggressor. Ergo the UK cannot assist the US in collective self-defence.

Let’s hope he’s in her phone as “Baby Dada (possibly)”

Yes, women are oppressed by colonialism & post colonialism
BUT
They are also oppressed by religion everywhere
Major religions are steeped in patriarchy
Whether it’s Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism etc - women are always the lesser sex
Atheism please, or bring back the Goddesses
