If "D&G" said something like that you'd be taking a cold shower for the rest of the week.

nice - I appreciate that

can we promise to just confine discussion to racist rock anthems and doom metal and the blurting of "Drug addicts in raptures about music played in unpopular venues"

edit: this is quite hard to convey irony because I can't link back to biscuit's "Drug addicts in raptures about music played in unpopular venues" quote plus I'm 14 hours in to bottlles of rum and accessories

UK-Israeli relations have plunged to their worst state for decades after the British foreign secretary, David Lammy, suspended negotiations over a new free trade deal, saying Israel’s cabinet ministers’ calls to “purify Gaza” by expelling Palestinians were repellent, monstrous and extremist.

Too little too late in most cases. The U.S. is still stalwart in its complicity and support of the genocide. This is despite the fact that most Americans (Jewish in lncluded are opposed to the government’s stance/policy. Ever since the Citizens United case. Our modicum of true democracy has perhaps been fatally usurped by oligarchs. The only citizenry (in seriouus numbers) staunchly in support of Israel’s war crimes are evangelical Christian’s (we got a lot of them over here), to the point that Zionist cannot be synonymous with Jewry. That large voting base, coupled & in collusion with the Jewish billionaire class has rendered outspoken opposition to this so called war virtually impossible for any ‘moderate’ of either party a political death sentance. Not with the electorate, with the $$$/power to primary you out.

We as a nation will not be remembered kindly. That’s nothing new though.
The very plausible outcome of a 9/11 type blowback is almost certain

Israeli troops have fired “warning shots” at a group of 25 diplomats who were visiting Jenin, in the Israel-occupied West Bank, on an official mission organised by the Palestinian Authority to observe the humanitarian situation there.

The Israeli military said the visit had been approved, but the delegation “deviated from the approved route” and Israeli soldiers fired warning shots to distance them from the area.

Footage shows a number of diplomats giving media interviews when rapid shots rang out nearby, forcing them to run for cover. The delegation comprised ambassadors and diplomats representing 31 countries, including Italy, Canada, Egypt, Jordan and the UK.

Bonkers to keep reading and seeing this stuff play out. The defense is frequently to just claim everyone's antisemitic or to try to stop them from seeing for themselves what's going on. There was an Israeli representative on Sky News recently and he kept refusing to answer questions and instead repeatedly insulted and shouted at the host claiming he was shit at his job. It's behaviour which immediately screams guilt.

I think celebrities should stop sharing graphics and things made by other people and just write something themselves if they're going to say something.

That being said, it is surreal to see him lose his job over a dodgy tweet whilst you're unlikely to lose it for backing the killing of thousands of people.
