This was Amsterdam today, an estimated 250,000 people protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza. Israel is moving - seemingly deliberately - toward pariahhood at an unprecedented pace. Blind "support" for Israel is ensuring this.

In Britain, a former far-right Reform party politician has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian viewpoints. Another scandal that should be the end of Reform but will be ignored unless we make a lot of noise about it. https://t.co/TgtyM7geIF

Ex GHF contractor on IDF and US contractors in Gaza “They’re criminal. I have fought ISIS…the Taliban. In my entire career have i never witnessed the level of brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population. An unarmed starving population”
This is extraordinary. A GHF ex contractor, former US special forces lieutenant-colonel, tells @BowenBBC he never saw brutality against civilians like he did at the hands of the IDF and US contractors in Gaza - and he fought ISIS and the Taliban https://t.co/UebyD7g18y

I’ve never seen a more British arrest video in my life, such sarcastic stoicism in the face of it all. Surreal. The man being arrested is Tim Crosland, a former government lawyer. https://t.co/3rDhxCT3UR
