Did the UK sanction only the central administrative district of Moscow over their invasion of Ukraine? I can't recall, can someone please remind me. What they did there might have moral and legal implications for how they handle the Israeli regime. ditto the US. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/...

I think this is fundamentally wrong but in an interesting way I will need to write about sometime. The key is a) consumers do not choose what is produced, or how, they choose between what is produced. This is a crucial difference

Proud to join Rep. Rashida Tlaib, @ramirez.house.gov, and 186 members of Congress in voting to end U.S. complacency in Israel's atrocities in Lebanon. We cannot stand by while innocent civilians are being slaughtered with our tax dollars. We must act now.

best take on the Scott Weiner kerfuffle. Weiner was far too late in recognizing Israel's acts as a genocide and in advocating for withholding arms from Israel, but he does support these. haranguing him in public is a terrible tactic that is backfiring. peterbeinart.substack.com/p/why-sam-ha...

My problem with the White House thunderdome isn’t that it’s “vulgar,” or “tacky,” qualities I often enjoy & terms which are often crudely classist when used pejoratively. My problem, as always, is the fascism. Don’t get distracted by taste, which is deeply subjective; it’s the fascism.

a lot falls into place when you recognize that dogmatic Zionists are the same type of guy as Serbian nationalists who angrily deny that the Srebrenica massacre happened and they had it coming anyway www.liberalcurrents.com/israel-is-a-...

Israel Is a State Like Any Other, and Commits Atrocities Like Any Other Would
Israel acts like any other apartheid state, but receives a level of deference from the American government and press and public quite unlike any other.

Israel spent tons of $$$$ to manipulate the Eurovision vote last year, a @nytimes investigation shows. Countries that don't commit a genocide usually don't take extreme measures such as manipulating the voting in a silly singing competition... www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/w...

I'd very much like to see the official autopsy but we don't really need it. I can give you the autopsy right now: It was Gaza.
