While the Israeli military invades a Palestinian university in the occupied West Bank to demolish a memorial to Palestinian students the IDF has previously murdered, here in the UK our political & media class focus on telling us the Green Party are the problem.

Large part of the Western press is currently running a massive election advert campaign for wanted war criminal Benyamin Netanyahu and ignoring the innocent people he is killing every single day.

Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

Since the 'ceasefire' in Gaza, 1400+ Palestinians have been killed. 0 Israelis have been killed. The 'ceasefire' is not a Ceasefire but simply a protection for Israel, while Israel are allowed to go on killing.

What has not changed is the price Palestinian journalists paid for doing the job Israel would not let anyone else do. Hundreds of local journalists have been killed, more than in all wars combined since Vietnam. Three died together in January 2026, after the “ceasefire,” documenting a genocide.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Resorting to "Mickey Mouse" degree denigration is an obvious, lazy red flag. The Times twists itself into knots to cover the nakedness of its grasp of HE (much less of how 18-year-olds actually make degree choices). In happier contexts, 'smother signals of quality' would be dismissed hilariously.

This constant switching is demanding so much more extra mental energy from staff (no settling into a routine, constatly on your toes), and denies students the ability to build a bond with their teachers. An occasional group-taught module is great, but this general state of confetti-teaching is mad.

Times of Israel reports on Israeli plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza but no such reports in Western media.
