If one side is firing on the other, that is not a test of the ceasefire, that is a violation. For the love of all things holy, stop running cover for a genocidal state

"🚨Today’s decision by an Israeli court to extend Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s arbitrary detention for another six months without charges or trial is yet another outrageous injustice."

I was out of Israeli prison in five days. They’ve been holding Dr Hussam Abu Safiya for nearly a year without charge, along with thousands more Palestinians. A ceasefire without an end to occupation and accountability for Israel will just be a slower continuation of the genocide

‘It was worth all the suffering in that damn place,’ zo schreef een Philips-topman over zijn tijd als reservist in Gaza. Vorig jaar vocht hij mee met het Israëlische leger in Zuid-Libanon waar volgens een VN-commissie oorlogsmisdrijven zijn gepleegd. Toch blijkt vervolging in Nederland moeilijk.

You just said Indigenous people in the new world had no laws, so either you are ignorant, racist, or you are not arguing in good faith.

Ashra 🍉 @ashra.bsky.social · 2d

The people living there had no laws? Really? Either they had their own laws, which would almost certainly have included rape, or, arguably, they were under Spanish law as a colony of that country. But no laws in the new world? C'mon.

This may shock you, but rape was in fact illegal in most jurisdictions at the time. Still, I guess trafficking ten year olds doesn't correspond to ecocide

I don't understand the point you're making here. Slavery was also legal and accepted at one point. That doesn't mean we give historical perpetrators a free pass

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.
