If peace has really started and Gaza is no longer a "combat zone", it means that int'l journalists can come in and @gbsumudflotilla can resume its humanitarian convoys, right? Or is Israel still afraid of intl observers?

The media is madly focused on Israeli corpses. But today Israel returned 52 corpses of Palestinians taken prisoner since 7 October 2023 who had died in Israeli custody, many tortured to death. Zero media attention.

Just think that Trump will be president during the time when the US will host the two biggest sporting events in the world. The World Cup and the Olympics. Let's see how that turns out. Hopefully, it doesn't provide a stage for him to take things too far #qanda

The game demonstrates to spurs exec that Ange needs more depth to his squad. The difference the subs made, their main players, changed the way the game was played. Need an active summer transfer window #TAMTOT

The political class in the west has aimed to enrich themselves, privatise gains, socialise losses, and 'austerity' its way to fix things. It just plays into class issues which have never gone away but have been distracted by culture war topics. Get back to the main game, class
