@gleick @schrotthaufen Bloody hell.

@sundogplanets Thank you and I’m sure it will :)

@yassin Yeah, following + boosted that post earlier ;)

@alessandro @ayoub See, e.g., https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/10/08/israeli-arab-teacher-arrested-for-celebrating-oct-7-anniversary/

Ok yeah this is fascism. #Israel is a fascist state. They’re already at the stage of enjoying humiliating the untermenschen an entire year into the genocide in #Gaza. This woman is an Israeli citizen.

@Thebratdragon Both, actually.

@fkamiah17 Been very much looking forward to watching that :)

@seachanger Purging “the wrong kind of Jew” seems a little… I don’t know… antisemitic?

@fkamiah17 Not surprising.

#Ireland clearly doesn’t want to tax the rich. Umm, ok, I guess (at 15%? For shame!)

Any Irish folks here want to try and move the dial on this, last minute?

@fkamiah17 Yep.

Israel should carpet bomb the Irish area and then drop napalm over it.

I've mapped out in green the area where #Ireland deploys its battalion in
South #Lebanon, which refused to move or follow IDF evacuation orders. I've
also overlaid IDF evacuation areas in red, showing where Ireland's… (1/2)

Oh, this? It’s just an American author for Times of Israel casually suggesting that they should carpet bomb and drop napalm on Irish peacekeepers.

(Please remember not to criticise this. You wouldn’t want to be called antisemitic.)

@ebel Yay! 🏳️⚧️💕

@Tooden Understatement of the century :)

But the key point is that it’s not just him. Almost half a million British people voted him greatest Briton of all time just two decades ago.

There’s a reason the west has been unabashedly arming a genocide in Palestine for the past year.

“I do not admit for instance that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that the dog in the manger has the final right to the manger, though he may have lain there for a very long time.”

– Winston Churchill, UK prime minister and honorary US citizen (by act of Congress). Voted greatest Briton of all time in 2002 BBC poll.

@ScienceCommunicator @gerrymcgovern Good god you’re dreary. Chill, fam, there’s no conspiracy. It was a retort. As a rhetorical device I deliberately misrepresented what you said to make my point. Does rather take all the fun out of it if you have to explain the joke.

You may leave now.

@pedro I find myself going through the same cycles… it’s good to expand your horizons but then you do have to focus. Can’t say I’ve mastered it or anything but I guess it’s good to be aware of it, at least. Best of luck with what you’re building :)

@eniko Congrats :)
