The genocide, ethnic cleansing and aggression demonstrated repeatedly by Benjamin Netanyahu exposes the double standard at the heart of the west's foreign policy.
The regime change we really need is the removal of him and his genocidal government from office.

The regime change the West needs is the end of Netanyahu
Benjamin Netanyahu's unprovoked attack on Iran is another in the long list of examples of how the right is now the biggest threat to global stability and security.

When you hear Trump & his supporters defend the detention of a Green Card holder by pretending to care about 1) antisemitism on campus, and 2) trespassing on college property, remember that Trump 1) hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & 2) pardoned violent insurrectionists.

What I find so fascinating about Trump, Vance and Musk's verbal abuse of Ukrainians & Polish officials etc, is: can you imagine them speaking like this to a Russian or Chinese official?

Israeli soldiers used 80-year-old Gazan as human shield, then killed him
Soldiers put an explosive cord around the man's neck and forced him to scout buildings for eight hours. After his release, another division shot him dead.
