In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
European justice system hasn’t fallen yet… But imagine having to sue your way into being allowed to write “Stop Genocide”
”You loaded the smaller rockets didn’t you?”…. “Oh sh!t, now you mention it, I might have loaded the big ones. Damn”
Does anyone seriously think any part of the Israeli army (highly trained and experienced armed forces) could accidentally use the wrong type of munition?
If that was Russia, most politicians would be in uproar and most of the worlds public would roll their eyes and say “yeah right… wrong munition my arse!”
The excuses are getting more pathetic by the day… it’s like they’ve run out and can’t be arsed to think of good new ones.
So, Hamas is the same as the Israeli Govt / IDF. You classified both 'terrorists.'
Stands to reason that Hamas is also a terrorist entity when using your logic, yes?
Hamas being a terrorist entity isn't disputed.
But it is.
Who stated that Hamas wasn't a terrorist organization? Outside of people acknowledging that they are more than that who staed that they are not also a terrorist organization?
Germany's stance, coverage and actions have been horrendous throughout this war. An absolute disgrace for a democratic country.
Sure this isn't their only boo boo
If you mean ISIS or Al Qaida style, then they're definitely not.
It's their way of saying "Look we admit our mistakes and everything else has been on the level".
Unfortunately that admission means that the other situations where they levelled entire neighborhoods were on purpose; which was a daily thing in October.
Curious "mistake"
I just watched the Images of the Nusairat refugee camp attacks today. If you dont have the heart to watch it, dont. But it is available on twitter if you want and its heartbreaking.

Whenever I stumble upon the hasbara brigade on reddit or wherever, with their "Israel is only responding to aggression" and "everything that's happening in Gaza is Hamas' fault", I've started pointing to the West Bank and asking "well what about that?" and they usually stop replying.
I've left Twitter so can people post the full threads with spoilers, or link to the unrolled thread?
There have been some terrible attacks by jewish people on christians in Jerusalem, but it doesn't appear to be the case here. Seems like this is part of a dispute over the sale of lands by the Armenian Church.
updated the post above
Thank you, and sorry for being awkward. I couldn't cope with the white supremacist theme park any longer.
On genocide and intent. Interview with Raz Segal, associate professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies and endowed professor in the Study of Modern Genocide at Stockton University.

This was very interesting, thank you for posting it.
Baffled Israel thought it is good propaganda/PR for them (showing how detached from reality they are).
Even if I imagine the 7 Oct terrorist attack happens to my country, I would never support wiping out the entire nation of the country launching the terrorist attack.
Wtf is this? Also, wasn't the revised number for October 7th reduced to 695?
My jaw is on the floor.
695 civilians, 373 security forces and 71 foreigners. 1139 total.

I know it's not at all new for Putin to attack civilians and hospitals, but with the brazenness that he's doing it in Ukraine this morning it signals to me that the world is entering a new era of state violence that entirely disregards human rights and rules of war, directly as a consequence of the US' carte blanche for Israel, in both its rhetoric and its arms support.
Regardless of all the US' past foreign policy hypocrisies when its supposed championing of human rights clashed with its interests, it still had a semblance of moral authority that gave it legitimacy to serve as the world's police, there was at least a perception that it recognised some sort of threshold to human suffering that--when met--would see it change its approach to achieving whatever interests it had. But this has been so plainly shattered with the manner of its support for Israel during the past three months that I truly think the world is going to be a significantly more dangerous place for the rest of our lives as a result, and to the detriment of long term US power and interest.
The US rallied to try get universal diplomatic support for opposing Putin's invasion of Ukraine and it broadly succeeded in doing so despite some indifference from non-Western states. But the next time a US adversary attacks a US ally, unless a third state has tangible and material interests threatened through another state being attacked, there will be less of an incentive to lend the US the support it needs to combat or undermine such acts. And it's not just governments, the total contrast in the western approach and statements regarding Gaza and Ukraine have put on display for populations in the west and beyond that the universal value of the principles these governments claim to defend depends on who's violating them.
Even if protection of human life and rights was to some extent a charade (for all states), the charade still inhibited the manner in which they could conduct their wars and power, but I fear this has been irreversibly shattered, and the world will be made a permanently more dangerous place for it.

We literally have video by hamas themselves of abuse and the after effects of anal rape; are there still people that don't want to accept it or what?
Given the resources at their disposal, I wonder why/how their propaganda game is so bad/weak/ineffective.
She's a heartless ghoul. I honestly believe she would be as bad or worse than Trump.
