Sounds like the latest round of right-wing terrorism is having at least some of the intended effect.

Streeting exerting his power over women's bodies. 53 years I've been around, and not one has passed by without some bloke exerting power over my body. That includes the minimising of my experiences with menstruation and menopause. Fuck The Patriarchy, and that includes the women upholding it.

Actually think UK suggesting they would recognise Palestine was also part of the cover operations. Why would they have been doing this whilst hosting IDF staff in London and sending Lord Austin over?

This is quite funny, because the article leans into “Are they just racist s? No, they’re thick racist s” really quite hard.

There is already a nuclear-armed country in the Middle East that does not allow international inspectors despite having nukes for decades - and it’s not Iran. Israel is also one of a handful of countries to have never signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

It’s been very revealing but not remotely surprising, bet they were feeling uncomfortable with all the lacklustre ‘condemnation’ of Israel they had to do and now parity is restored

Post deleted. Yes, Iran has attacked Israel & Israel attacked Iran for decades. And Iran’s leadership has demonstrated—to me—surprising restraint & caution in nuclear weapons activities. Good faith implementation of Iran Deal, negotiated under Obama, & associated diplomacy would have been nice.

Reading about how China has embraced climate adaptation as a national strategy through weather forecasting and vast investments in resilience. The contrast with the Trump administration's deliberate efforts to undermine scientific foresight and destroy FEMA is stunning.

After a few weeks of introspection about genocide, that is now all overridden by the centrist desire to bomb Iran, reminding them that Muslims are subhumans who deserve annihilation.

I just think it's weird how Britain and Orbans fascist Hungary are the only countries who somehow can only make equality work by delegitimising trans people, and that's the Equalities Commissions official standpoint? Like lots of other places don't do this, and it doesn't appear to be difficult.

I guess Starmer now has a perfect excuse to delay recognition of Palestine for another decade.

Not that it matters but: the Iran deal did not fail, Trump pulled out; diplomacy did not fail, it was never seriously tried; Israel's strike was not pre-emptive; the killing of Iranian high-command and nuclear scientists is assassination not a "remarkable coup of intelligence".

People in the West Bank were afraid that this was coming - that once Gaza had been sufficiently subdued, they'd be next. Please don't miss this because of all the noise about Iran.

I see that after a years-long interlude, it’s again fine to observe that deranged Israel enthusiasts with horrible politics are deranged, and have horrible politics. Could we have remembered this before they started abusing and denouncing people who actually matter?
