Because he doesn't believe Palestinian lives are equal to Israeli lives.

Because he's totally lost his humanity in his bubble where he sees peoples lives as bargaining chips.

And because the man is devoid of all principles and compassion.

Next question.

This. I've listened in real time to BBC Radio - in particular Radio 4 - devolving into a reactionary mouthpiece. The news segments are principally concerned with uncritically repeating racist, far-right narratives about immigrants. Two Minutes Hate, every hour on the hour.
BBC Radio is unbearable.

I’ve not listened in years - but just now parents had it on. First BBC discussed starvation in Gaza with the repeated phrase “the Hamas-run Health Ministry”.

Then interviewed a random Scot who played golf with Trump 11 years ago, about Trump’s golfing.

A map of countries that recognise the State of Palestine.

You can now add France… but apparently not the UK, Germany, Canada of Australia.

Shameful.

It's very telling what happens to the comment whenever I write on this subject. Every other week, the comments in my substack are witty, funny and kind. On this topic, they're bitter, vicious, demented.

I presume there is this tiny army of Very Angry Radicalised People sweeping the web and pouncing into the comment section of any article which is remotely sympathetic to trans people. So you quickly learn to write on the subject and then never, ever look at the comments.

A councillor tried to stop another 24-hour gaming centre. Planning officers agreed with her but approved it anyway. Not by mistake – by law.

How this could be changed to stop them plaguing our high streets and harming vulnerable people ⤵️

A broken law forces councils to approve gambling venues – even when they know harm will follow

The Courier reports on Sandie Peggie's racist posts, where she used the term "p*kis" and said that, following devistating floods, Pakistan looked like a "giant bowl of coco pops".

Sandie Peggie is supported in her case by Sex Matters.

Supporting Palestine Action’s right to protest is not the same as supporting Palestine Action. It’s time for Keir Starmer to remember why human rights exist.

It’s important to protect children online, but tech firms and legislators must make sure that they don’t lock children out of material they have a right to access – and that the line between “appropriate” and “inappropriate” isn’t discriminatory.
