Israel is not a Jewish state. Its ideology is Zionism, which does not represent Judaism. There are Christian Zionists, etc.

Zionism is a colonial political theory. Many Israeli voters buy into it wholesale, just as MAGA buys into their myths of American supremacy.

Many Jews are protesting genocide

Trump’s building a golf course in Qatar.
He accepted a $400M luxury jet as a gift from Qatar.
His son-in-law got a $1.5B investment from Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries.
His top officials like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi worked for Qatar.

And now this.

That the Nobel Peach Prize was *not* awarded to thirsty Donald Trump makes it wonderful. That it was awarded to a woman makes it even better. That she is from a country Trump slanders makes it even better. That it was awarded for promoting democracy, something Trump undermines, makes it perfection.

I want to go back in time and box the ears of the GP who told my friend she was making up 'chronic fatigue syndrome' and just wanted attention. I wanted to do it then, too. I'll still want to do it in 10 years time.

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

I can’t adequately express how mystified and nauseated I am by the conversation about Trump receiving a Nobel Peace Prize that corporate media is now leading. But as a journalist, attorney, historian and Trump presidential biographer I’m now obligated to make the case *against* in full.

Here it is:

Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene

The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.

Mike Johnson has had the House adjourned for weeks to avoid a vote on the Epstein files.

Is it really too much to ask to simply have House Republicans show up to work once in a while?

It’s not the association with the gambling lobby that brought it in to disrepute, it’s pointing out the association?

Talk about getting it ass backwards. They banned the COMPLETELY wrong person.

Former SNP MSP John Mason has just compared pro-Palestine protests to Orange Order marches.

So let's just set the record straight for John... Palestinian rallies aren't stirring up hate or bigotry; they are calling for peace and an end to genocide.
