"On 24 July, the prime minister will be in Washington addressing a joint session of Congress. This is history repeating itself.
The key dynamic in play here is Netanyahu’s quest to weaken Biden politically and contribute to conditions that lead to a second Trump presidency"
IMO, he needs support for war with Lebanon/IRAN, which is not guaranteed by Biden.
Netanyahu is also getting close to the far right in the EU, like the AFD(Nazis).

@NotImpressed @palestine If he does this, as expected, Biden should immediately stop send weapons and aid to the Genocidal state. We all saw it coming, but Biden is similar to trump but with a higher IQ (slightly).

"Wikipedia’s editors have voted to declare the Anti-Defamation League “generally unreliable” on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, adding it to a list of banned and partially banned sources"
"An overwhelming majority of editors involved in the debate about the ADL also voted to deem the organization unreliable on the topic of antisemitism, its core focus"

Resistance to a New Trump Term Has Already Started
New York Times: “Opponents of Donald Trump are drafting potential lawsuits in case he is elected in November and carries out mass deportations, as he has vowed. One group has hired a new auditor to withstand any attempt by a second Trump administration to unleash the Internal Revenue Service against them. Democratic-run state governments are even stockpiling abortion medication.”

Sunak says he would pull us out of the ECHR. We would lose rights to freedom of speech, expression, thought, to marry who we choose, free and fair elections, the right not to be tried for something not a crime at the time, and so many other things. They always use a minority to persuade people to end their own rights.

FYI, someone just asked me, "Could you please put a CW on those US politics posts?"

I said no sorry,, just mute me.

I don't understand CWing political posts. And that doesn't mean you need to @ me explaining why. I know THEIR reasons, I just disagree with them and won't do it.

I respect CWs for other things, but not politics. Politics is news and people need to be aware of what's happening. It's not gory or violent, it's politics.

Kthxbye.

destroyed the last operating cell tow in Rafah and set it on fire.

One of the key goals of Israel is to prevent the world witnessing what they are doing in Gaza. From murder of reporters, preventing foreign press to enter and destroying the means of communication, they are setup up the stage for full blown assault on and mass murder of innocent palestinians who have no where to go.

So what has the Israeli Slaughter of innocents taught us? It's taught us that you can ignore the Geneva Convention for example, so if you capture any service people, you can ignore the rules of law and torture and murder surrendered soldiers (America take note, you've been involved in more wars than any other country since WWII). It means you can destroy water, and all other utilities even if it causes the revival of old diseases. You can torture and murder civilians, you can use chemical weapons against civilians. You can steal land, property, destroy crops and livestock, destroy buildings & hospitals.

Those supporting Israels Palestinian Genocide should remember that you reap what you sow. You can't expect others to follow international law if you wont do so yourself. That genie is now well and truly out of the bottle. Well done America/UK/Australia/EU, etc.

They’re children. And their government is keeping them from doctors who practice a type of medicine that cures suicidal ideation at near miracle rates. If those kids do find relief, it'll be via their parents paying exorbitant out of pocket costs or by covertly ordering those drugs online with cryptocurrencies from sketchy overseas labs.

Please don't play the Harry Potter video games and it defend it by saying they brought you childhood joy.

There is a built-in translation system on Mastodon. If it's present on your server, you will see a "Translate" link below posts in other languages. Clicking the link will translate the post.

However, translation systems cost money to run, so not every server has it activated. If you're unsure whether your server has it or not, ask your admin. (You may also consider donating to them to help with their server bills.)

"Alabama Supreme Court chief justice Tom Parker was downright gleeful.

He quoted Genesis in his sermon — I’m sorry, his concurring opinion — in the Alabama ruling that turned in vitro fertilization on its head by defining frozen embryos as children.

He quoted 17th century Dutch theologian Petrus Van Mastricht."

@wdlindsy Only quoting the old Testament and ignoring the New is to admit that they are really Jewish, and the Christofascists hate that even more.
