Don't be fooled by Joe Biden's recent speech on antisemitism. Biden doesn’t care about Jews unless they share his support for Zionism. The rest of us are enemies of the state.

I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest that the extremist settler movement in Israel is rooted in the USA and culturally has a lot in common with US white supremacist/settler ideology—there's a reason Netanyahu is so comfortable with Republicans who dine at the Christian Nationalist table.

@WizardBear @cstross Biden is very much complicit by providing the funding and arms. He is the enabler. He has broken both Federal and Intl Law. Should key Israeli Gov and IDF officials ever be charged with genocidal acts, Biden and Blinken will be next on the list. The law is clear on that. You cannot point the finger at Trump for today’s actions while Biden is shovelling money and arms into Israel as fast as he can. That is risible.

Sunak has made it more dangerous to be "British" due to his unqualified support for the extremist genocidal state of Israel.

At the same time, he explicitly associates supporters of with extremism and authoritarian regimes like North Korea.

We simply can't win in this "union". We're not citizens; we're targets.

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious anyone surprised? Apart from the vitriol and racism and bigotry at play, many of these clowns are thick as two short planks and have no idea how anything is governed. I saw a local councillors get verbally abused because they were ‘doing nothing’ about immigration and the thick eejit wouldn’t accept only U.K. Gov controls this.

Really disappointed in Biden today. Believe given climate crisis we should be doing everything we can, including buying inexpensive EVs from China, to hasten the transition from carbon based fuels.

That said, certainly international relations are complex and we don't have all the information or know all the constraints he is wrestling with.

In any case, would never threaten to withhold electoral support. These issues pale measured against a Trump win and the incumbent end of democracy.

@mastodonmigration he is an isolationist like Trump. He is also a war monger and very selective in civil rights. The two candidates may have different personalities etc, but policy wise there are a lot of similarities between Dems and GOP

Antony Blinken claims that Hamas is blocking a ceasefire in Gaza, but it is Israel which has vowed to invade Rafah regardless of an agreement and is absolutely unwilling to declare an end to its genocidal operation.

@fkamiah17 it is a country where the youth are pro eu and have little appetite for welcoming Russians into their country, but the older and elderly age groups still hark back to Soviet times. Like Serbia the Gov is very pro Russian. I nearly choked last week when the US said it was "deeply troubled" by the treatment of protesters and called for an independent investigation into reports of "harassment and physical assault". Does the US Gov not have any self awareness?

@fkamiah17 @BashStKid they start at pre school age. I’ve seen and heard it with my own eyes and ears from extended family and their friends. What’s worrying is the largest group of Israeli Jews are secular, so this is not religion driven but sheer ethnic racism. It is one of the reasons that I will never set foot in Israel again. I may be Jewish, but it is not and never will be my ‘home’ and I have nothing but contempt for its Gov and apartheid laws

Cohen today said it was Melania's idea to spin the Access Hollywood tape as "locker room talk." We will most certainly get strong push back on this from team Trump in the days ahead, but let's recall that immediately after the tape came out just prior to the 2016 election, Melania was all over the media pushing this 'totally unfair' "boy talk" damage control canard.

Here is just one example from an interview with Anderson Cooper on October 17, 2016:

The United Nations General Assembly decided to overwhelmingly to grant Palestinians additional rights in the global body, after their drive for full membership was blocked by the United States.

The resolution, introduced by the United Arab Emirates, says, “The State of Palestine is qualified for membership in the United Nations in accordance with Article 4 of the Charter and should therefore be admitted.”

‘United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution calling on the Security Council to reconsider Palestinian membership to the UN passed on Friday.’


Reminder that this resolution does not make Palestine a UN member.

That requires a Security Council recommendation, which the United States vetoed.

This General Assembly vote determines that Palestine is qualified for UN membership, and gives Palestine more procedural righ

One clear sign of how ignorant and immature the college protesters are is how they all don't seem to want to be held accountable for the crimes they committed.

I wish that our U.S. campuses would at least still assign students to read MLK's Letter from a Birmingham jail, and Thoreau's essay on Civil Disobedience.

I think these protesters have failed the guidelines of: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and effective direct action.
