Catastrophe at the Ballot Box

WATCH THE APPRENTICE THE MOVIE

The U.S. political and media culture has produced two of the most incompetent figures imaginable to vie for the role of leading the country into the abyss, writes Jim Kavanagh.

Donny is Done

I do not believe there are enough MAGAts to reelect Trump, and even though the polls are close, I believe Trump fatigue and his rank idiocy will help people get America shed of this madman. Everybody knows who he is and what he wants and his ambitions are connected to himself and his family, not you, not this country. To vote for Trump is to surrender America’s imperfect democracy to a man who will destroy it in due course. I think the polls in these closing weeks will show the undecideds breaking toward Harris. According to Simon Rosenberg of Hopium, Republicans have dropped 60 polls in swing states in the past two weeks trying to push poll numbers in their direction. Do not fall for the cooked data. This race is not as close as they claim.

UN mission says Israeli tanks forcibly entered base in southern Lebanon

Israeli forces have repeatedly fired on medics and first responders as well as Unifil peacekeepers since Israel invaded Lebanon on 1 October, amid growing international opprobrium.

“The time has come for you to withdraw Unifil from Hezbollah strongholds and from the combat zones,” he said. “The IDF has requested this repeatedly and has met with repeated refusal, which has the effect of providing Hezbollah terrorists with human shields.” (Netanyahu)

Kol Nidrei on Yom Kippur is one of the unruliest, most liberating, and anarchic Jewish texts. It is our heritage of refusal. We need it today, more than ever, to liberate ourselves from the curse of Zionism that colonized our diverse Jewish worlds.

The slow strangulation of truth

Over the years I’ve learnt to chew and walk at the same time. It’s taken a while, but I think I’ve mastered it. Being able and willing to condemn the actions of Hamas, and criticising Iran while also condemning the callousness of Israel’s incursions into Gaza, the West Bank and now Lebanon is something I think most reasonable people can and should do.

In recent days I’ve been stunned by the number of commentators who seem utterly incapable of entertaining this wider view. Surely international law, justice and humanity should be the yardsticks by which we judge the actions of the governments and nation states? You can’t be selective about this, – can you? Yet sadly, people are.

You are being remorselessly gaslit about Israel’s colonisation of Palestine

Everyone can see it. The bags of children, the bound and executed doctors, the flattened civilisation; the genocidal language of Israeli leaders, the moonscape of rubble and sinews that was once Gaza, the dehumanised humans tormented along their journey to erasure. It is the wrong question to ask – too naive, too much assuming the best of self-serving vampires. 

You are being remorselessly gaslit about Israel’s colonisation of Palestine

The more revealing question is asking why they refuse to say it after having seen it, too.
