"All hope lost"? I for home have plenty of hope that this will lead to further hilarity as his vote keeps dropping until they get tired of the circus...

Palestinians, as well as some left-wing Jews, are being suspended from studies, fired from jobs, or arrested at night — all because of social media posts.

Far-right Apartheid regimes don't like opposition.

Not the big fish, but every bit helps.

We are truly in the end-times. It's bad enough these two are up against each other, but that Trump 1) isn't behind bars, 2) is being taken seriously by anyone with an IQ above that of a turnip *irrespective of who he is running against, makes me lose all faith in humanity. Or in Americans, at least.

While not strictly news itself, the piece extensively quotes and summarises a lot of the last few days' news coverage on the subject.

One for the "but they voted for Hamas" apologists for human rights abuses.

In fact, Gazan frustration with Hamas governance is clear; most Gazans expressed a preference for PA administration and security officials over Hamas—the majority of Gazans (70%) supported a proposal of the PA sending “officials and security officers to Gaza to take over the administration there, with Hamas giving up separate armed units,” including 47% who strongly agreed. Nor is this a new view—this proposal has had majority support in Gaza since first polled by The Washington Institute in 2014.

Far-right extremist with a history of advocating for a "Greater Israel" covering Palestinian territories in violation of international law (annexation of occupied territory is a war crime) and opposing mixed marriages (totally not racist, no?) pretending there is no humanitarian crisis. How totally unsurprising.

The only thing surprising about this is why British media still goes easy on a far-right ultra-nationalist war-crimes proponent.

This is an interesting one. I'd guess Biden is very pleased with it, because if approved he's basically ensured the US federal government is bound to not repeat Trumps crap in this area for 8 years irrespective of who wins the next two elections...

Yay!

This was removed from one of the bigger news communities under the flimsy pretext of the "open letter format" after it had generated a level of debate that made it very clear it was relevant and important.

Since the Independent in their rush to get this out managed to link to the International Journal for Slots and Casino News instead of the right place, here's the actual link to the letter:

To the surprise of nobody, UK politicians talk first, worry about consequences later, and they will undoubtedly soon remember the worst that will happen is that they'll get a peerage.
