Unexploded ordnances left by Israel in Gaza pose a constant danger to Palestinians
In addition to the unrelenting bombardment, Palestinians in Gaza are at risk of losing their lives and limbs through the unexploded ordnances that the Israeli army leaves behind.

American Jews’ continued support for Israel is very bad for Jews. We must wake up.
The Israel lobby is losing its grip on U.S. electoral politics, but it won’t go out without a fight. American Jews cannot wait to see how it plays out. The Jewish future depends on our awakening.

What really gets me is, the numbers are actually down overall and media was quiet about arrivals. Instead of reporting about the success of the numbers dropping, they ran with a bullshit story about a village in Oxfordshire, to get this story back on top of the news agenda.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

Netanyahu just incited genocide in his UN speech. Here’s what you missed.
At the end of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s unhinged rant at the UN, he recited a seemingly obscure Bible verse. But it’s actually a dog whistle for genocide.

Their cruelty knows, no bounds. Remember Cuba has done nothing to the United States, apart from telling them to leave their country, back in the day, which culminated revolution. The US has never forgiven them. What the US are doing right now, amounts to cruelty and nothing more.

It’s a problem when you only have white men and no people of colour with a voice, within the decision-making roles in society. Those white men get to decide what is and what isn’t, hence no one in power is alarmed about the racism. Kemi, Lammy, Trevor Phillips, Braverman etc are not on our side.
