    Just logged The imperative in Russia-Ukraine should be for Ukrainians to defeat Russia, otherwise they'll simply rearm and come back for another go in a few years time. Also, please point me to any conflict in recent years where Russia has de-escalated and meant it. They're still bombing...

    Seeing lot of online denial also. "Can you prove it was Israel?", "What if it was Hamas?" etc etc. Bending over backwards to deny Israel is doing what it's doing and has done for a long time.

    Israel taking a leaf from Russia's playbook and bombing hospitals now.

    There is a reason though. It's cos yr posts here are profoundly ignorant, unserious, and add nothing to the topic.

    Please do. I welcome the comments from you and Droid, as you're both informed enough over the long term to be critical of the things I've posted.

    I posted that piece on FB and a friend posted a solid critique. I'll post that here: Danny - I think this is as one-sided as anything on the Israeli side. It completely ignores Hamas’ role in destroying the Oslo peace process with suicide bombs in Israeli towns & driving the Israeli electorate...

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    Hardcore Henry Shot on GoPro as basically a first person shooter. Ridiculous kill rate, exploding skulls and snapping spines, lots of mad stunts, it's a bit like being Clockwork Oranged by a gang of 14 years drunk on Monster for 90 minutes. That's a a compliment.

    Why does Starmer have a massive black penis?

    You presenting Israel as the "only functioning democracy" in the region completely occludes the history of the country, as well as dismisses all the democratic struggles that have and are taking place.

    That did occur to me, believe it or not. But I think the point stands. Israel - aligned to the West/white coded vs. the Arab "other". Vastly more complex in reality of course.

    "Only functioning democracy" sounds a lot like only white people can handle democracy unlike those stinky Arabs. As Padraig said, you're pretty ignorant. Whole lot of different Arab peoples have crying out for democracy for years and years, that's essentially what the Arab Spring was about.

    I read Droid's comment as being about the open air prison that is Gaza, not the "right to land". Absolutely there's a racism at work in the reporting which highlights the suffering of white Israelis and minimizes that of Palestinian Arabs. We know the names of the young Israelis killed and can...

    Roger Waters

    At the risk of repeating myself, indulges atrocity denial re. Syria. All the conspiracies tend to run together at some point - conspiracists inevitably end up at antisemitism because of the idea of a nefarious cabel controlling events.

    The Culture War

    Assuming this is just the slow wheels of the legal process turning. The police will need time to build the case against Wooton, if they've not gone down the terminally incompetent route. Be the same with Brand I assume yet made more complex by the fact he's - I'm assuming - no longer a UK resident.

    Bastani in particular. Lots of people have already joked about his crossover to Spiked Online.
