Basically, everyone knows what Israel has done but it still won’t be held accountable

Tommy Robinson (@TRobinsonNewEra) is welcomed to Israel by a government minister. I’m banned. I’m a British Jew and a member of the Board of Deputies. Israel needs to ask itself: who are its allies, and what message does this send?

The IDF is finally doing something about the leaked footage of prisoner abuse in Sde Teiman. Namely, investigating the leak and suspending the Military Attorney-General who ordered the abusers' arrests. Can't make this up.

It's extraordinary to see the lack of consistency across just two wars; Israel's war of devastation on the occupied Palestinian territories, and Russia's war on and occupation of Ukrainian land. Let alone vis-a-vis Syria and Sudan. But international law is clear. No excuses.

Sachs was never at Euromaidan -- he went to Ukraine after it was over, when the new government invited him for economic consultations. At the time, he called the Crimean annexation an act of Russian aggression, and somehow failed to mention the bribes he was allegedly told were
