Few know the history of the violent explusion of 750,000 Palestinians in 1948: it is not taught in schools, and instead many- myself included- were taught outright lies about Palestine being an empty desert, "a land without a people for a people without a land." As ideas for a second Nakba are being drawn up right and discussed right now, as you read this post, it is vitally important we remember this terrible history, and Britain’s role in it, and do everything in our power to stop it being repeated, with the full support of our ignorant, bigoted, cowardly and sometimes outrightly Islamophobic leaders.

I grew up in a Zionist household, spent 12 years in a Zionist youth movement, lived 4 years in Israel, and have friends and family who served in the IDF.
When that is your world, it's hard to see apartheid when it's happening.

Happy New Year! Here's a little something to ring in 2023: footage that won't be relevant for another 12 years, the Fierce Tiger Band (Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam, Teddy Robin, Kirk Wong, and Alex Cheung) rockin' out like a bunch of old boomers.

This two-sided pin-up poster came in an issue of the German teenybopper magazine, Bravo. A tough choice needed to be made. Which side are you hanging on your wall?

Not sure who needs to be reminded of this but: PeeWee Herman was not arrested masturbating at a public theater. Not like you think.
He was at an adult theater (where masturbation is encouraged) and it was a sting operation targeting queers.
