Any rational assessment of US behaviour leads to the conclusion that the two-state solution discourse has always been a sham, just like the “ceasefire negotiations”, and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine is official US policy.

Keir Starmer has, not once, offered even a "thought" to Palestinians.

Behold, dear reader, what the New York Times describes as "the politics of joy."

The prime minister opened the war by instructing the soldiers to remember God told them to kill every man woman and child among the amaleks. People like Chris are paid big money to wake up every morning and pretend to be surprised at what that policy looks like

The United States is the fire here. Almost every baby and toddler killed in Gaza was killed with American bombs. Thousands and thousands of babies. If it wants a ceasefire, it should … cease the fire

What's seriously predatory is pretending your candidate is “working tirelessly for a ceasefire” when in reality they’re actively arming and funding genocide.

I don't think Americans fully understand how aberrant our country's stance on Gaza appears to much of the world foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…

Israel kills dozens of innocent Palestinian civilians every single day. It has been a year. Dozens or hundreds a day for a full year. But they never make it to a newspaper cover. No political leader says their name. It’s an insult to our common humanity

Most disturbing is the "banality of evil" aspect. These do seem like "two nice Jewish boys." Sounds like any normal pair of podcasting dudes. Yet they casually fantasize about a Final Solution for Palestinians. The worst evil doesn't come from "monsters" but from ordinary people.

it’s always insane to me how they can say this so confidently and face zero consequences

Being a Republican sounds amazing - If Trump wins, you get the policies you want, plus bragging rights. If Kamala wins, you still get the same policies, but you can play victim.

A reminder that “American intelligence” is not a neutral actor. Treating US government sources as inherently truthful is how the mass media manufacture consent for wars. Scholars have been saying this for at least 40 years, yet the NYTimes continues unabated.

Israel’s “human shields” narrative was always just propaganda but this genocide has fully exposed it. They execute and massacre civilians willfully, purposefully, wantonly. They massacre women and children, and anyone, because their objective is to destroy the population.

“The standard view is based on geometric proximity...” Well, that's news to me!

"Israel has decimated every single aspect of any sort of infrastructure within the Gaza Strip," says Arwa Damon, who just returned from the Palestinian territory as part of her work with @inaraorg.

What the paper is actually saying is quite meaningful, but it conflates ignorance with stupidity. Ignorance can make you feel stupid, but those are not the same thing.

Probably the best illustration you're ever going to get that there's nothing even ressembling a left in the US. Voters now have the choice between the party endorsed by Dick Cheney and the party of Trump...

Democracy in the US means a choice between a candidate endorsed by Dick Cheney and Donald Trump.
