Yes, she sounds like someone who has been poisoned by hatred she learned. Very sad. If she kills innocent people, she should absolutely be punished. But I'm not sure how her existence means that every Israeli deserves to be murdered unless you are advocating for collective punishment.

"Most" have duel citizenship and can leave? So, again, being Israeli is a crime that you believe should be punishable by death. Thanks for confirming.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

So you believe that people that committed no crime other than to be born in Israel deserve to be murdered in their homes? Sounds like you and Bibi would agree that it's okay to kill other people's children. Congrats.

My people? What makes you assume that Israeli citizens are "my people"? They are human beings who did not deserve to be murdered in their homes, any more than people in Gaza deserved to be bombed in theirs. You can support Gaza without supporting Hamas murderers. Not doing so is a choice.

They didn't attack occupying forces or even just military targets. They willfully and intentionally planned to, and did, murder innocent civilians, including children. If your support for Gaza leads you to support the murder of innocent children, then you are what you claim to hate.

He'd crawl into the case if that were possible.
Pollox sprawled flat on the floor beside a glass-walled PC case, fast asleep, his entire body bathed in the radioactive-green glow of RGB fans and glowing GPU lighting. Legs splayed out loosely, paws tucked against the case, totally undisturbed by sleeping right next to what looks like a small nuclear reactor.

Last time we reported the 170 number, Kristi Noem denied the administration had detained any citizens. This time, we’re releasing the full list — and a host of video evidence — along with our story.

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

We can have an academic debate on how much Kahanism owes to Zionism and how much it is a departure. More important, however, is to understand its key components and the grip it has over much of Israeli society and its institutions.

Kahanism defines as the ideology of a "Jewish State"; that is, Jewish, supremacist, non-democratic. In some ways, it is a continuation of Zionism and its colonising mission, while in other ways it turns against core principles of historical Zionism. Many Kahanists are, indeed, non-Zionists.

Israel's contemporary hegemonic ideology is Kahanism. Unabashedly supremacist and racism, sectarian to its core, expansionist and violent in its practices, and theocratic in its outlook. It has led the campaign of annihilation of Gaza and is pursuing similar aims in the West Bank.

PS: as I have made clear in the past, I do not think a single state vision is beyond the pale, but that demand has to come from Palestinians and their legitimate representation. Not from the British Green Party. As of 2026, support for a single state in the West Bank + Gaza is around 10%.
