In an unexpected turn of events, Elon Musk gives a perfect argument against capitalism

The governments of the US and UK are reviewing the designation of HTS as a terrorist organisation so we can “deepen our contact” with Syria’s new rulers. For context, the US did not remove Nelson Mandela from the terrorist watch list until 2008.

Shamima Begum flew to Syria at 15 to marry an ISIS fighter and later changed her mind, but she is considered a terrorist forever when literal ISIS fighters can rebrand themselves as HTS and we act like they're heroes?

I'm old enough to remember when the US told the truth about HTS

The US and its allies have been arming and training so-called “moderate rebels” in Syria since 2011, spending hundreds of millions of dollars, but are now acting like this latest round of violence is nothing to do with us.

the reality for workers

Now that Gaza’s journalists have been wiped out, it seems it’s the turn of the people trying to keep Palestinians alive. There is no bigger crime in the eyes of Israel than trying to keep Palestinians alive.

France really just made up its own version of international law for Israel. Only problem is you could apply this imaginary law to Putin, al-Bashir, and Min Aung Hlaing too.

According to France, if war criminals refuse to sign up to the Rome Statute, as sitting heads of government, they cannot be arrested for their war crimes. Imagine undermining international law this badly, just to let Netanyahu off the hook. It could not be more grotesque.

One of the ICC arrest warrant judges that Netanyahu is calling Hamas supporters is a 94-year-old holocaust survivor called Theodor Meron. He has previously presided over the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. I say no more.

mainstream journalists are silent on this

"US senator Lindsey Graham has promised to destroy our economy if we arrest Netanyahu. In fact, he said the Trump administration would destroy our economy even faster than they will destroy their own economy."

Amazing to think Thatcher and Reagan stopped arms sales to Israel because of its massacres in Lebanon, and Biden and Starmer didn't. If Thatcher and Reagan were around today, they would be considered "far left extremists" and Hamas supporters. That's how insane today's politicians are.

Germany's legal position is essentially that they once committed a genocide against Jews so they must let Zionists commit a genocide against Palestinians. Imagine being so badly on the wrong side of history twice.

Ask yourself why they would be so afraid of due process unless they had something to hide

This is basically saying "If you're not racist towards Palestinians, you're racist towards Zionists". It's genuinely insane how normalised anti-Palestinian racism is and how vilified any opposition to it is.

there would never be another war

yup

Sky News is reporting that Israel raped and tortured a doctor to death at Sde Teiman, apparently because he was reporting on the horrors at al-Shifa hospital. The IDF should be a proscribed terrorist organisation.

Trump is going to be awful, but will he be less awful than Biden?
