Someone just shared this on Bluesky and I laughed out loud. Perfectly captures a certain type of Nature writing.

"More than a hundred BBC employees have written a letter to the director general, Tim Davie, complaining that the Corporation has become a mouthpiece for Israel.

It was also signed by 300 other journalists and media professionals: one of them was yours truly"

"Without equivocation or caveat, we stand opposed to the government’s proscription of Palestine Action"

Very good statement from Novara Media on the proposed proscription of Palestine Action. Read in full.

"The fact that the UK is one of the only countries in the world without an apex predator should be a source of huge shame for the government. We are in a biodiversity crisis. It is time for the greenwashing and needless conversations to stop and for real actions to occur"
Paul O'Donoghue, Lynx UK Trust

We should go ahead. Hill farming is no longer viable & shouldn't be the driver of environmental decisions.

"As I write this, the Iranian government has closed the Strait of Hormuz, and the world teeters on the brink of a global conflagration the likes of which has not been seen since World War II. Why? Because Israel, with the support of the majority of its military-trained citizenry, wants to kill as many Palestinians as possible and complete the ethnic cleansing project they began over a century ago"

Australian writer and poet Omar Sakr. Read to the end.

Here is the statement from Keir Starmer on the illegal bombing by the US of Iran’s nuclear facilities last night.
It doesn't condemn Trump’s unilateral action as illegal, makes no attempt to distance the UK and it now puts all UK citizens in increased danger.
Spineless, toadying, and exactly what I would expect from Starmer. I look forward to Lammy brown-nosing further.

"Almost 600 people are expected to die early in the heatwave roasting England and Wales, a rapid analysis has found.

The surge in deaths would not be occurring without human-caused global heating, the scientists said, with temperatures boosted by 2C-4C by the pollution from fossil fuels"

This weekend I am reminded of the New Middle East Project, an Anglo-American-Israeli “military roadmap” in the Middle East, launched in Tel Aviv in 2006 by Ehud Olmert and Condoleezza Rice.
The project, in the planning stages for several years, consisted in creating an arc of instability, chaos, and violence extending from Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria to Iraq, the Persian Gulf, Iran, and the borders of NATO-garrisoned Afghanistan.

"ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children

The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted

"I will provide a quick, preliminary analysis of the legality of Israel’s use of force against Iran as a matter of the jus ad bellum. As I will explain, Israel’s use of force against Iran is, on the facts as we know them, almost certainly illegal"

Marko Milanovic, Professor of Public International Law at the University of Reading School of Law, who is always on the money.

This is deliberate and open starvation as a weapon of war. Israel has made these food hubs the only method of obtaining food aid, refusing to let aid agencies in. And the world stands by. I am deeply ashamed of my own government for supporting these genocidaires.

It's the truth. She isn't very good at diplomacy.

"If you have spent the past 20 months wondering why British leaders on both sides of the aisle have barely criticised Israel, even as it slaughtered and starved Gaza’s population of more than two million people, you finally got an answer last week"

French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin urged Britain on Monday to open a legal route for asylum seekers in order to prevent people risking their lives by taking small boats across the Channel to England.

I doubt Starmerand Cooper will agree. Like the Tories, they need the small boats to scapegoat a vulnerable minority.

Twenty-six people have been killed and 150 injured in Israeli tank shelling and gunfire near an aid distribution centre in Rafah, southern Gaza

Lure starving people in with promises of aid, then kill them.

"..according to Israel’s own army, not a single example of 110 aid looting incidents was perpetrated by Hamas. The whole claim by Israel of Hamas stealing aid, used by Israel to justify mass starvation is a lie"

Haaretz’s Yaniv Kubovich reports that Israel plans to seize 75% of Gaza and relocate more than 1,3 million Palestinians in the upcoming offensive, ultimately forcing the entire population into three military zones with food supplies strictly controlled by GHF/Israel.

Essentially three concentration camps, where the remaining Gazan population will be slowly starved.

JPMorgan Chase, one of the world’s largest banks threatened to leave the UK if the government increased tax on banks at last year’s autumn budget.

This is so much bollocks. The UK is one of the world’s biggest financial centres. There is no way this bank would leave. Reeves should have called their bluff. Instead she gave in and made the rest of us poorer.

"A truth is dawning: that this will be remembered as one of history’s great crimes. Right now, the UN warns that 14,000 babies could perish in the next 48 hours without aid"
