Fantastic summary of the sheer absurdity of AUKUS by Australia's former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull (2015-2018): "We've agreed to send billions of dollars to the Americans to help them improve their shipbuilding industry. They've agreed to sell us…
Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained" Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese destroys David Lammy MP: •she explains what genocide is •she gives him a history lesson •she expresses surprise that as a lawyer Lammy doesn’t know this She hangs Lammy out as a ‘genocide denier’ Starmer & Lammy are genocide deniers
Must watch explanation on clean energy by @g__j on #BBCQT - also watch Tim Stanley squirm repeatedly when Jackson gives answers Greg Jackson, "We've crossed the rubicon.. Clean energy is now cheaper than fossil fuels" "Power from wind and solar is cheaper than power from…

British transplant surgeon Professor Nizam Mamode's harrowing testimony to the Select Committee about Israel’s quadcopters shooting at civilians and children in Gaza who were already injured and on the ground...after they had just been bombed. Pls watch

The evidence that the UK Gov is now overtly blocking the action needed to avoid climate catastrophe. What have I missed? A quick summary 🧵1/

The media’s role in peddling disinformation over last week’s violence in Amsterdam just keeps getting darker. Owen Jones has interviewed a Dutch woman who shot the footage used by major outlets – from Sky News and the BBC to the Guardian and New York Times – to suggest that…
