Permission to kill 20 civilians for one low-level Hamas commander.
An automated system called “Where’s Daddy” to ensure that targets are bombed while at home with their family.
Truly sicko shit. Murderous. Depraved.
Paid for by the American people.

Lads, the country’s going to shit. Energy prices have caused the sharpest increase in absolute poverty in 30 years. Councils are going bankrupt. Backlogs in the NHS & courts will take an estimated 10 years to clear. 4.3m children are growing up in poverty. But yeah, you crack on.

Taxing billionaires would improve our societies and reduce ordinary people’s taxes. Exactly how to do it differs by jurisdiction ft.com/content/f0eee3a9-52b1…

Yesterday, the ICJ found a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.
Today, the UK has joined others in suspending funding to UNRWA.
This is collective punishment — our government should be ashamed of its moral depravity toward Palestinians starving to death.

Our letter to Israeli government authorities regarding the ongoing military campaign against the Palestinians of Gaza, including the decimation of the education sector and the wanton killing of thousands of students, teachers and professors

Meet the UK’s first laser weapon: DragonFire
UK military scientists have for the first time shot down drones by using the laser to cut through incoming targets at the speed of light.
Capable of being fitted to future warships, it will be a vital British weapon as the threat of drone warfare grows.
DragonFire is just one of the potentially revolutionary capabilities we’re investing in to gain an advantage against our enemies.

The way "classic liberals" are giving rapturous applause to such a charlatan as Milei continues to amaze me. It betokens a deep political disorientation and the desperate search for new Messiahs.
"The western world is in danger . . . because those who are supposed to defend the values of the west have been co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism, and therefore to poverty.” Try to hear the whole of @JMilei 's speech at the @wef yesterday, a magnificent defense of individual liberty and the free market economy. youtube.com/watch?v=Pfcd0gWN…

Serious question: have you ever seen something like this? The deliberate planned demolition of a university?

Because of Israel's obstructions, “people in Gaza risk dying of hunger just miles from trucks filled with food,” says @WFP. This is not a natural consequence of war but a deliberate strategy, despite denials by Israel's lawyers in the ICJ genocide case.

Easier to bomb Yemen than get Israel to stop bombing Gaza.
Disgusting. What a cursed imperialist country we live in.

Keir Starmer saying he supports military action against Yemen because civilian lives are at risk. Something he’s suddenly worried about after supporting the denial of food and water to Palestinians, and refusing to call for a ceasefire as they are massacred.
