This is incredible. Israel has repeatedly blown up entire apartment blocks on this basis - in Gaza, Lebanon and beyond. Donald Trump is admitting to an Israeli war crime which has specifically killed tens of thousands of civilians. It's a confession!
.@POTUS on Israeli military action in Lebanon: "You don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody, because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses, and they're not all Hezbollah."

"This government is treating Palestine Action as equivalent to Islamic State or Al Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong. Frankly I'm deeply ashamed" Labour peer Peter Hain in the Lords in July last year

At a time when the Palestinians are fighting to survive amidst daily pogroms & ethnic cleansing, to allow this to go ahead is outrageous. What excuse for complicity @HFalconerMP? "Homes in illegal Israeli settlements promoted at London property show" news.sky.com/story/homes-in-…

David Popper, 'patron saint of cellists' (or 'that Jew Popper', as Hans von Bulow kindly wrote to Richard Strauss) b otd 1843 (the day after Grieg!). I love his pieces - but it has to be played with charm and affection. 'People play my music as if they hate it', he lamented. Sad!

Surely, this cannot be true?
🚨 Absolute madness in the US right now as the Uruguay national team gets pulled to the side of the road and treated like straight-up suspects. ​They literally just landed for the World Cup and security is already ripping their luggage open on the tarmac with sniffer dogs everywhere ​Qatar and Russia hosted without this level of paranoia but the "land of the free" is handing out pure humiliation to Global South athletes before a single match is even played, the double standards are screaming.

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
