Bus, train, tram. Nuclear is not green. No HS2 or new roads. The "West" are not the only imperialists. Opposing only US/UK/Israeli imperialism is not anti-imperialist; it is merely anti-American. hughjaeger.wordpress.com

The Israeli government is ordering its diplomats and their families to leave its missions (the embassy in Abu Dhabi and Dubai consulate). This comes after Israel issued a heightened travel warning for UAE, cautioning its citizens to be careful about displaying Israeli or Jewish symbols in public.

Genocide from starvation apparently doesn't count if there was a preexisting condition according to the New York Times.
A tweet from NYTimes Communications (@NYTimesPR) reads:
"We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below."

Below the tweet is an image with text on a dark blue background. The text states:
“Children in Gaza are malnourished and starving, as New York Times reporters and others have documented. We recently ran a story about Gaza’s most vulnerable civilians, including Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, who is about 18 months old and suffers from severe malnutrition. We have since learned new information, including from the hospital that treated him and his medical records, and have updated our story to add context about his pre-existing health problems. This additional detail gives readers a greater understanding of his situation. Our reporters and photographers continue to report from Gaza, bravely, sensitively, and at personal risk, so that readers can see firsthand the consequences of the war.”
