How else can you describe this person other than a Israeli agent?

The Israeli judiciary rejects the release of 14 doctors from Gaza, Physicians for Human Rights reports.
The organization stated that the 14 doctors remain imprisoned in Israeli detention without trial, some for more than two years, at a time when Gaza’s health sector is facing a severe shortage of medical personnel.

Unicef spokesperson James Elder told reporters on Tuesday that Israel had rejected equipment needed to repair a key Gaza rainwater basin, warning that the facility could overflow and endanger nearby residents through flooding and disease.

Utterly scandalous that this isn't getting wider traction and outrage.
A clear national asset & treasure, a repository for knowledge that is of national & global renown, as significant a living monument as any damn slave trader statue--and not a peep from the heritage brigade.

Americans invented a word for bribery so it would stop sounding like bribery.
They called it "lobbying."
A pharmaceutical company that spends $300 million purchasing the votes of legislators who will then block drug price regulation is not, in American law, corrupt.
It is "civically engaged."
A defense contractor that pays a retired general $500,000 a year to advocate for weapons contracts, contracts the general previously approved from the government side, is not a conflict of interest.
It is "private sector expertise."
A senator who receives $2 million from the insurance industry over a career and votes against universal healthcare every single time is not bought.
He is "fiscally responsible."
The genius of American corruption is not that it is hidden.
It is that it is legible, documented, publicly filed, searchable on the internet, and still not called what it is, because the people who would name it are the same people cashing the checks, and the people watching it happen have been trained to call it "democracy."
At least when a Nigerian official takes a bribe, everyone in the room knows what happened.
In Washington, they hold a press conference about it.

Your reminder that Gaza had functioning drainage, sewerage and water treatment systems before Israel systematically destroyed them.
And homes.

Cressida Dick working for Palantir raises the same concerns I’ve expressed about Tom Watson.
What does a company gain when it recruits a former Labour deputy leader or a former Metropolitan Police commissioner? Their experience, yes. But also their contacts, influence and the authority associated with the offices they held.
This ‘revolving door’ corrodes confidence in politics, public service generally and in institutions such as the police.

You spend half a BILLION a year on the Royal Family.
That is 120,000 people on benefits, or 2.5m Winter Fuel Payments.
For a bunch of arrogant pricks who wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire.
Lets get rid of the biggest benefit frauds in the UK, the Royal Family.

Anyone who leaves the flooded concentration camp for higher land is instantly murdered by Israelis, even if they stay in Gaza.
The IDF publicly declared most of Gaza (the parts less likely to flood) a designated kill zone.

Really? You could start by making it legal to protest genocide in the UK.

Come on @andyburnham
The public knows neolib economics & privatisation are a failure. Why don't you? Are you on side of corporates, donors & shareholders, not on ours?
Give the people what they want. And if *you're* not up to it, get out of the way

The US has pulled its planes out of RAF Mildenhall over an Iran-linked threat. It’s the second UK base in six weeks, after Fairford. Where did they go? Germany, Spain, even Scotland. So the target isn’t Europe. It’s US bases in England.
Starmer let US bombers use UK bases to strike Iran. Burnham kept the policy. Iran warned in March it was “putting British lives in danger”. The Americans can move their planes. The people living next to these bases can’t.
BBC and Sky covered the story all day.They didn't mention that the UK let the US bomb Iran from British bases.

🚨BREAKING
The Financial Times has just revealed that Thames Water’s US hedge fund creditors are close to agreeing a ‘last and final’ deal to take over the company.
A handover to US hedge funds. A continuation of the privatised chaos. And a huge reward for the people who have run our water into the ground.
The deal would see them allowed to pollute our rivers and seas without consequence - in exchange for an upfront payoff.
This deal is absolutely outrageous, in every regard.
112 MPs have already called for special administration of Thames Water.
A cross-party group of MPs - who scrutinise the Environment Department - have said that the creditors’ proposal should be rejected and Thames Water should be brought into special administration.
And the former Environment Secretary rejected a previous version of the creditors’ deal in June. This new version is not better in any way.
@andyburnham promised to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation. He promised public control of life’s essentials.
This really is the moment of truth for Andy Burnham. If he allows the water supply of 16 million people to be sold off to US hedge funds - how can we take him seriously about any of his promises?
NO DEAL to the Thames Water creditors. Special administration now.

Most corrupt country in the world Part 4,020
Man who receives Western money to protect Kyiv’s energy infrastructure - Vlad Sokolov.
This is not a joke.
As a result, Kyiv is left without electricity and without protection.
M'while, he has a penthouse in central Kyiv, a pool with a crocodile, and a Rolls-Royce. He has only two employees who help move the money offshore.
Later Zelensky and his circle will say they did everything they could, lock up a grandmother asking for peace, and demand the war continue along with more money.
No Russian propaganda could invent something like this. Ukrainian reality is far worse than any horror anyone could make up.

So they push the Palestinians into a known flooding area by moving their "yellow line". They refuse to allow mobile homes or any shelter in. But if I call them pure evil, then I'm an anti-Semite. I'm so sick of it. Israel is a massive stain on humanity.

Today’s acts of betrayal from Democrats:
1) 11 Democrats all funded by pro-Israel PACs couldn’t be bothered to show up to impeach war criminal Pete Hegseth.
2) Top House Democrats are threatening new members for daring to serve the people.
All that liberal euphoria on election night for nothing to fundamentally change.
Buckle up for 2 years of excuses from Democrats for why they can’t deliver for the people as they collude with Republicans to deliver for the donor class.
When you’re ready to fight for something better we will be here! The real resistance has always been the people who take on both parties and agitate for a better party, system, and world that puts people over profits.
