It is too bad that 30% of America worships an idiot who thinks you can stick a laser up  your ass and kill covid. These are the kind of stories that should make top billing in the news, not the rapist insurrectionist.

They worship the authority and privilege they believe his enthronement would bring to them. They're suckers and losers, to quote a great man who has all the best words.

New video today of Israelis shooting a woman in Gaza, and then using their armored vehicles to block the ambulance that comes for her.

At this point their goal is so obvious, I don't understand why they don't just nuke the place.

Unless they are actually getting pleasure from administering slow torture.

That would be bad for the hotels they want to build.

Women in Poland face severe human rights violations due to the country’s restrictive abortion law, found the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in an inquiry report published yesterday.

The committee noted that the situation of women in Poland was further aggravated after a constitutional court ruling rendered abortion in cases of significant foetal deformities illegal.

“The situation in Poland constitutes gender-based violence against women and may rise to the level of torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment,” said CEDAW deputy chair Genoveva Tisheva, as quoted in a statement from the committee.

It's good that shit happening in Iran of Europe is being criticized but I somehow doubt that current, right wing gov (with tiniest sprinkle of left) will care. It's not like they don't have practice in ignoring grievous problems.

Huge military assault going on in the West Bank right now. Remember there is no Hamas in the West Bank, this is just a killing spree.

And speaking of killing sprees, the New Yorker has finally released photos of the Haditha Massacre.

This wasn't much of a massacre, by modern standards. Only about 24 killed, and only half of those children. But the US soldiers who did it all escaped punishment.

The Israel-Hamas war is motivated purely by religious mentality. Even the help from the US is largely motivated by religion, closely "the end of times" theology that places Israel at the center of God’s plan for the end times.

The most prominent example of this was when Speaker of the House Mike Johnson made whatever compromises he needed to in order to obtain military aid for Israel. As he stated: “We have to make certain that the entire world understands that Israel is not alone and God is going to bless the nation that blesses Israel. … We understand that that’s our role. It’s also our biblical admonition. This is something that’s an article of faith for us. It also happens to be great foreign policy.”

This decision was strengthened by pastors like John Hagee who met with Johnson shortly before he helped to secure the military aid package to Israel. The Constitution and human rights are second to a biblical view of the role of Israel.
