At least 1004 Palestinians killed in the West Bank since US-backed Israeli forces & settlers began escalating violence after 10/7/2023, B’Tselem reports. 217 were children. Several were US citizens.

In past week: Trump threatened to take ABC's license because ABC reporter asked a question he didn't like, called for Jimmy Kimmel to be taken off air for mocking him, called for Democrats in Congress to be prosecuted and then called for them to be executed. This perfectly sums up today's GOP!

Trump er hastigt i færd med at omdanne USA til et personalistisk diktatur med stærke totalitære og facistiske tendenser. Og han møder kun meget begrænset modstand fra institutioner og civilsamfundet. Jeg havde - selvom jeg forsker i diktaturer - aldrig troet, at det kunne komme så vidt, så hurtigt.

Israel's treatment of Palestinian prisoners since 7 Oct is comparable to the worst dictatorships on earth.

- the number keeps growing, and is now around 11k
- close to 90% are held without trial
- starvation as policy
- rampant torture
- dozens died in prison, no accountability

War criminals should not be welcomed by any president or Congress.

He should be held accountable for his crimes, not platformed. Beyond shameful.
