    His comment on October 11

    I’m shocked at the rhetoric and actions of so many Western leaders & governments, with the exception in particular of Ireland’s government, who for once are doing the right thing. War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are.

    (The unsuccessful action of Ireland’s government to temper the UN statement of support for Israel.

    In negotiations that bounced between capitals on Saturday, Ireland was joined by Denmark and Luxembourg in pushing for a statement to include an appeal to avoid escalation, according to diplomatic sources.

    Ireland ultimately backed the unnuanced statement.)

    Google, Amazon, and Facebook, of all people, pulled out of the conference immediately.

      All corporations and megarich have an extremely strong FAR right bias, but they hire PR to whitewash their image so they don’t look like nazis.

    This is interesting.

    Israel is actively making more people support the Palestinian cause because of their overcensorship and heavy-handed tactics to control what people think and say.
