Tonight we are witnessing a profound moral contradiction with an Israeli government facing credible allegations of genocide, being treated as a legitimate democratic partner by Western governments and endorsed by the USA for reelection.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

What is true is that in their early platforms in the 1920s the Nazis strongly advocated for workers’ rights (how else do you get the workers on your side?) But of course they never came close to delivering. Remind you of anything?

Western news media: Israeli soldiers were murdered. Palestinian children were killed. Let's be clear: The Israeli soldiers are part of an illegal invasion & occupying force on Palestinian land. The Palestinian children were murdered simply for being Palestinian. #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

Muslims and immigrants, despite all the lies we're told about them, have never presented a systemic threat to Western security, let alone to "Western civilisation". Instead, the threats come from our governments, especially in the US, and their grim alliances with capital and overseas dictators.

None of this we are hearing of late is news to those of US who eat, sleep & breathe politics. We knew long ago that: Lindsay liked boys. Russia was a thing on the right for decades. After Netanyahu Israel was never an ally. Trump family corruption forever. Question is why didn’t our CIA know it?

When is our government going to stop being so fucking lazy?

George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The banks say they’re overtaxed. The TUC says they’re undertaxed. We did the sums across nine countries, and we're going to annoy *everyone*. The UK isn’t a high-tax outlier. There *is* a case for increasing bank tax. But it comes with risks - and could hit households. 🧵:

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣
