Via Barak Ravid, political reporter at Axios:
"Democratic mega-donor Haim Saban wrote an email to Biden's aides Steve Ricchetti & Anita Dunn about Biden's decision to put on hold a weapons shipment to Israel: 'Let's not forget there are more Jewish voters who care about Israel than Muslim voters who care about Hamas'"
You'd think he would have spellchecked it, considering it's an email to the President.
More centrist bullshit on Elphicke. The inevitability of an incoming Labour government and their attractiveness to disaffected Tory voters is already too well established to merit accepting such a revolting specimen of humanity as Elphicke.
This smacks of the same "he's won the politics" that was peddled by the commentariat when Keith subverted the SNP ceasefire vote.
I used to respect Rafael Behr.
WEEK 32: Just our unelected and unaccountable to Parliament Foreign Secretary cozying up to an Israeli delegation lobbying to continue to defund UNRWA.

Edit: BTW - this was taken on Monday, as Israel were invading Rafah.
"The Green Party is becoming a dustbin, a repository not only for climate activists but for disgruntled hard leftists leaving the Labour Party, and some fairly unpleasant Free Palestine activists as well."

I see one of the contestants at Eurovision got told off for wearing a keffiyeh wrapped round his wrist.
Flying the Zionist flag is cool though, because ...
Because the one thing they've been so far is "really careful" π π€¬
"Anything that the Israelis are doing around Rafah is going to result, unless they're really careful, in the death of innocent people"

"Here we are, not 75 years later, but just seven and a half months later - and people are already forgetting that Hamas unleashed this terror," Biden said in his keynote at the official Holocaust memorial ceremony at the U.S. Capitol
The number of frontbench Liebour MPs tweeting pictures of Gaza or shots of huge ceasefire demonstrations and calling for a ceasefire and, in at least one case, having the front to call for an arms embargo, is truly vomit-inducing.
Does anyone else get the feeling that, rather than listen to their own or their constituents' humanity and stop the genocide, the Powers That Be β’οΈ have decided to drop the last vestiges of pretence that the west is any kind of a democracy and go full fascist?
I guess this is why they had to shut down Aljazeera. Can't go last stage genocide when someone might actually tell the world about it.
Aljazeera: "Gaza aid halted as Israeli tanks take control of Rafah border crossing"
Don't worry, she's going to be drawing on "new economic thinking" when she gets in. I guess fundamentalist free market capitalism is new.
If you compare it to Adam fucking Smith.
