This post by Tom Fletcher is extraordinary. There is nothing there. It has all gone.

Exactly
@richardpbacon The polarisation of sides is one of the more damaging aspects of modern times. If you criticise Israel you must then also support their enemy and vice versa, which is plainly nonsense.

Hamas are absolutely grotesque and the public executions haunt me. More than one awful thing can be true at once. There are such extremists on either side. Those executions are real. And what will we all say if it is verified that more than 20,000 children died violently?
@richardpbacon I've just looked at your X posts on here over the last few days and noticed you are extremely quiet on Palestinians killing Palestinians in the last few days 🤔

Bringing your baby in a stroller to prevent food going to feed other babies just takes it over the edge
Israeli settler fanatics gathered this morning at the road leading to Karm Abu Salem crossing to prevent the entry of desperately needed humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

One of the world’s most famous atheists is citing *checks notes* the Bible to justify Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands. Tells you everything you need to know about such atheists and how cynical they are.
Bill Maher: “Israel is the Jews’ homeland and Jews have always lived there. You can look it up. It’s in this book called the Bible. Calling Jews colonizers is like calling Native Americans colonizers here. It’s ridiculous"

No, Trump isn't the only president ever to end a war. No, Trump hasn't ended eight wars. No, the reason Russia failed to take Kyiv in 2022 wasn't that a general decided to use mud routes instead of highways. No, Obama didn't merely give Ukraine bedsheets. No, the 2020 election

Really bad look for Kevin Kiley here. Good grief how embarrassing

Oh look, @DPJHodges and @michaelgove can't even get 1 in 3 Brits to agree with them.
Britons tend to think it was the right decision to ban fans of Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending a match against Aston Villa next month, a fixture classified by West Midlands Police of being 'high risk' Right decision: 42% Wrong decision: 28%

The top three news stories tonight - the Aston Villa furore, the BBC doc and Palestine Action are ALL related TO Gaza but we're seeing no or few pictures of what is actually happening IN Gaza as people return to ruins because journalists remain banned. This is, truly, bizarre,

He doesn’t deserve credit for that. It brought the Taliban fully back into power and plunged millions of women into the handmaid’s tale.
Joe Biden ended the longest war in US history, Afghanistan, and never got any credit. Trump, through sheer shamelessness and the power of repetition, has convinced tens of millions of Americans that he ended eight wars (he didn’t, it’s a lie: https://t.co/45V8tX4euY)

This is who the British prime minister and an army of UK newspaper columnists are shamelessly defending today, and outrageously equating with all Jews.
“IDF will Fu*k the arabs Death to arabs, why is there school in Gaza? There are no children left there” Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are hooligans

I feel like we are all living in a giant mental hospital with him.
Trump: I do not think any president has ever ended a war. One war. I did eight of them.

Everything is mad

The tiny African nation of Lesotho had victories in its HIV fight. Then, the US aid cuts came. Now Lesotho’s care system is crumbling. Clinics shut down, workers were let go, and patients stopped treatment. Experts are sounding alarms.
