The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

Six months ago, Labour was spending every shred of political capital - up to and including suspending seven of its own MPs - to maintain the two child benefit cap.
Now, they're describing it's abolition as an overriding moral imperative.
Cynical, untrustworthy twisters.

okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public?
now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.
