The guy was an idiot. Doesn’t change the fact that Singaporean authoritarianism is fucked up. Being an idiot shouldn’t be a death sentence.


I was reticent to post this, given that it’s based off of one person’s hearsay. What tipped me over is that it is confirmation of stories also relayed by Palestinian prisoners in the fall of 2025 (linked in the article) about the goings on in the Sde Teiman torture camp.

Al-Jazeera by the way reports that the IDF soldiers who were at the center of a very public case of gruesome sexual abuse of prisoners in the same torture camp are returning to duty.

End the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime. Boycott Divest Sanction. Criminals at the Hague.


I would be more sympathetic if the UAE was not responsible for an actively unfolding genocide in Sudan.



Are we getting Guelphs and Ghibellines? Definitely not on my bingo card for 2026.


They joys of a bunch of right wingers jerking each other off. Meanwhile, Sanchez is the only one doing the honourable thing and calling a spade a spade.

I keep seeing this point raised but it doesn’t make sense to me. If no invitation was extended, then the point of not officially denying it is… what exactly?

I mean let’s be as charitable as possible to Magyar. You are the pm-elect. The Israelis make a claim that’s untrue. That claim actually hurts your reputation as a break from orbanism. If you let it be, it puts you in a box, it constrains your movement. Why stay silent? And if you don’t want to rock the boat too much, why not even make a half assed walk back, as in “we talked and agreed in principle on a state visit, potentially after the next Israeli election in October” (that would keep your options open and give you plausible deniability for any play you choose). Instead, just …silence? What’s the play here?

A much simpler explanation to all of this absurd-adjacent hypotheticals, an explanation that requires the fewest hypotheses (Occam’s razor) is that …an invitation was made.

Yes, and the EU has at various points made collective commitments to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_and_the_International_Criminal_Court

Technically, undermining the ICC is also blocking an EU thing.

Because the Polanski Greens are offering a real left alternative.


There is only one solution to right wing authoritarian populism and that’s left wing libertarian populism.

Europe really needs to get over cold war red scare propaganda.




Pronouncing Zionism correct this way is assuming History is over, and the argument is settled. It’s not. Zionism has created an apartheid genocidal ethnostate that requires 7.5 million people to dominate militarily half a billion people in perpetuity. Forget immoral and abhorrent, that’s just not sustainable.


AOC shouldn’t run for president. She should be in the senate in Schumer’s seat.


I’m pretty sure the guy in the photo is Netanyahu, not Sanders. /s

Oh I see, that was a literal testimony! Sorry for calling it a rant and thanks for that bit of education.


Lol, is “Passover testimony” a jewish tongue in cheek way of referring to a rant? Do uncles usually go off on rants on Passover dinners? 😄


You know how the way the homeopathic charlatans work is by diluting a tiny amount of active ingredient into a huge amount of water and then tell you that creates more potent medicine?

Don’t you see the same logic here? They are not diverting the funding that used to go to pseudoscience towards evidence based care. No no no, sir. They are diluting a tiny bit of good decision making (defunding the quacks) in a huge amount of bad decision making (healthcare cuts).

Just like you can’t dilute a tiny bit of, I dunno, acetaminophen in a 100 liters of water and claim it is still medicinal, you also can’t dilute a tiny bit of reasonable policy in billions of euros of cuts and call the whole package sensible.
