These are terrible comments by Salman Rushdie. Palestinian statehood is a right recognised by the world & denied by Israel since 1948. "Anyone who wants to prevent the creation of a Palestinian State needs to support strengthening Hamas. This is part of our strategy." Netanyahu

Serbia has long viewed the former Yugoslavia as an extension of itself in political, economic, and administrative terms. Even today, Serbia lays claim to territories and populations within the now-independent states of the former Yugoslavia. This perspective is intertwined with a

An interesting thing about working-class friendships is how we communicate at times entirely through abuse. Not a "hello" or "how are you?", just "bawbag", "scumbag", and whatever else. We don't ask about family or anything, just straight out slagging one another for no reason.

Please for the love of god stop with the โ€˜I wish Theresa May was PM againโ€™. Theresa May laid the foundations for and orchestrated the significant expansion and nominalisation of the hostile environment for those who need and are entitled to our humanitarian protection.

Ofir Gendelman, the Israeli PM's spokesperson to the Arab world, is falsely claiming this video shows a Palestinian "child actor" faking injury for Hamas in Gaza. The clip, posted to TikTok in 2022, is behind-the-scenes footage of a short film made for Palestinian Civil Defence.
