They also call it by its name: Genocide "by popular demand on the street"

They have "right to rape" protests and then celebrate the ones doing it on national TV where they were blessed by the highest rabbi in the state, and still Westerners insist that they don't do it.

So now it's OK to say that Ukraine bombed Nord Stream, the biggest terrorist attack to European energy infrastructure ever?

Trump is playing for time with this Russian oil deal ahead of the midterms. He is also terminally untrustworthy.
Publicly whining about Zelensky ignoring his demands changes nothing.
If he’s serious about forcing Ukraine to stop strikes on Russian refineries, let’s see him use the leverage he has and pull the plug on Starlink.

This clip is from April and if you listen in full, Trump appeared to be confusing Ukraine and Iran.

Ukraine’s biggest “supporters” are so thirsty for Russian defeat that Ukrainian lives barely factor into the equation. They’ll sacrifice as many as it takes to satisfy their craving.
They aren’t wishing for a Ukrainian victory. They are lusting for Russian defeat.
It’s a sick obsession with wanting to see Russia weak and broken — a strange psychological phenomenon that seems to have infected so many minds in the West.

Love how Israeli media is openly like "yes, we run torture camps" and Western media is like "nah, no you don't."
Thousands are held in Israeli torture camps. This is what happens inside haaretz.com/israel-news/isra…

This is what the establishment wants back.
Someone who never was or ever could be a threat to them. 🤮

Even by R4 Today standards, Nick Robinson is conducting the most disgraceful interview of a party leader I've ever heard. Zack Polanksi is doing a terrific job in facing down the petulant badgering, but why does no other politician (expect Corbyn) face this monsterous incivility.

He has no teeth.
For 3 months, this elderly man in Gaza survived on dry bread dipped in water.
This is not AI 😥
This is FAMINE in Gaza, right now 💔
Very well said.
Why is every journalist and politician asking Zack Polanski to stand down?
He's tripled the party's membership and he's just got the Green's second highest performance in a by-election, taking ten times more votes than the party did under Caroline Lucas, so why are they pretending things are getting worse for the Greens?
Do you really think they're concerned for the welfare of the party? Or do you think they're more concerned that the Greens are finally influencing the country's political direction? Answer honestly.
Prior to Polanski, the government only felt pressure from the right and that kept the conversation exactly where media moguls and billionaires wanted it to be.
Suddenly, Polanski shifted the conversation in the other direction, and instead of talking about how bad Muslims and immigrants are all the time, and how we couldn't afford to do anything other than slash welfare, we were talking about the cost of living, issues that affect real people, and our government's complicity in genocide.
Keir Starmer is a war criminal who had no answers to the problems people were facing. He offered only managed decline and contempt for workers. The moment we started having conversations that exposed that, his government collapsed.
If it wasn't for Polanski, we'd still be stuck with a prime minister who completely ignores the needs of ordinary people. We now have a prime minister in Andy Burnham who at least pretends to listen and who will make some concessions.
This is only happening because of Polanski's leadership. If the Labour government returns to letting us down like it did under Starmer, the Greens are there to fill that void. Labour knows they can no longer afford to ignore our concerns.
The Greens are ensuring the people who aren't supposed to have representation under neoliberalism are heard.
The last thing the establishment wants is for those voices to grow louder and turn into real power. They see Zack Polanski as a threat to the status quo in a way they don't with any other political leader.
All of the politicians who've spent years letting us down are joining ranks with the media who've poisoned our political discourse to bring down one man. That should tell you everything you need to know about who is on your side.
You say "Keir Starmer is a war criminal who had no answers to the problems people were facing. He offered only managed decline and contempt for workers. The moment we started having conversations that exposed that, his government collapsed."

There's nothing new to say about any of this. It's the same tsunami of hysterical, fact-free bullsh*t, by the same voices on the same media, as it was with Corbyn.
Will it work a second time around?
Are people really going to fall for this nonsense again?
