The wildly over-the-top reaction to Britain's tiny Israeli settlements trade ban – including hyperbolic media inflation of minimal risks and nonsense warnings – is a sign of just how much international impunity Israel has enjoyed, and for how long

Ed Miliband is the first British foreign secretary to stand up against US power and resist Israeli pressure at the same time. In our column for Middle Eye Imran Mulla and I argue that he deserves our admiration and support: middleeasteye.net/news/ed-mi…

Brilliant from Marandi.

Meanwhile on Piers Morgan: the public mauling of Epstein's lawyer Alan Dershowitz at the hands of Prof. Marandi

Just to be clear, then. FIFA: 1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA 2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like Smashing. All know where we stand

How the fuck do we live in a country where all the people now furiously upset that Karl Stefanovic got cancelled said not a single word when the same thing happened to Antoinette Lattouf and Grace Tame? #NewsCorpse

Yes, we’re considering running a new campaign protesting that one of @Channel9’s main “stars” is now interviewing violent fascists on his podcast. We’d need support and assistance to run this campaign, but are up for it if we can get enough enthusiasm. Please like, comment and/or re-tweet if you’re in favour. Anyone?

Ian Wright is an absolute hero for saying how we all feel about this World Cup… “I've just read that the Somalian referee has been denied entry. Every few hours it's another story, another story about fans denied, players denied, officials denied, journalists denied, now refs," Wright said. "You know something I'm laughing but it's not funny, it's actually not funny and something has to be said. "The expensive tickets, the most expensive tickets ever, expensive accommodation, transport through the roof. It has to be said. "Is this how the hosts behave really for the greatest game, the greatest tournament in the world, is this how the hosts behave? "Are we not hearing more? Are we seeing how Qatar got dragged, are we not hearing more? Is this the spirit of football, really? "You know who I feel for? I feel for the American fans who are desperate for this, American soccer fans who are desperate for this, how embarrassed they must be. How embarrassing for them this must be. "This is the World Cup, this is a World Cup of chaos. Whoever wins this World Cup is going to have to go through some serious chaos to get this done. "I hope we can do it, but something has to be said now. This is the World Cup."

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran: - Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98% - Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade) - Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds - Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz) - Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility - Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium - Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains - Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules - Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years - Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years Ooops, sorry! That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

RT @ShiannonC: Rachel Withers from Crikey and a glossary “to help you navigate the hysterical language being thrown at Labor’s tax reforms”…

They loved Marjorie Taylor Greene, now they hate her. They loved Thomas Massie, now they hate him. They loved Lauren Boebert, now they hate her. They made fun of Biden for nodding off ("Sleepy Joe), now they ignore Trump outright falling asleep. They put "I Did That" Biden stickers on high gas prices, now they ignore gas prices being even higher. They bragged about Trump being the no wars President, now they support war. They bashed Biden for sending money to Ukraine, now they ignore Trump sending money to both Ukraine and Israel. They demanded the Epstein files, now they bash anyone asking for the Epstein files. To be a MAGA is to be a slave. Not physically, but mentally. They stand for nothing. We're up against people who stand for nothing. And with the most misplaced confidence you've ever seen, they try to tell us whats-what. We shouldn't even acknowledge these people. The Trump supporters that remain are mentally too far gone. I don't even want to argue with them anymore.

March for Australia is organised by Neo Nazi Hogo Lennon aka AusPill. One Nation uses March for Aus to recruit volunteers. The booing of Anzac Day services was by Neo Nazis. AusPil -March for Australia called for people to boo at Anzac services. Anzacs fought Nazis in WW2

Netanyahu: “İspanya, dünyanın en ahlaklı ordusu olan İsrail askerlerini karaladı. İspanya'nın Kiryat Gat'taki askeri koordinasyon merkezinden çıkarılması talimatını verdim.” İspanyol Bakan Sira Rego: "Sizi karalamıyoruz, sizi tanımlıyoruz. Siz, soykırımcı ve suçlu bir rejimsiniz ve hepiniz Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesinin önüne çıkacaksınız."

Woops. I guess people will be strident about things like genocide and wars of aggression that ropes in the entire region and the US. If he were in Australia he’d dragged before the courts by now.

If young men don’t want to be drafted to fight in Kamala’s and Cheney’s 3rd World War they better get out and vote for Trump.

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.
