Being Forcefully Pro-Palestine Weeds The Terrible People Out Of Your Life

Being forcefully pro-Palestine is the most efficient way to weed all the worst people out of your life.

It takes care of them all. Zionists. Islamophobes. Apathetic narcissists. Unthinking herd-minded right wing ideologues. Abuser-enabling “both sides” moral cowards. Emotionally stunted man-babies who turn every challenging conversation into an “allow me to play devil’s advocate” mental exercise to avoid feeling normal human feelings. Leaned-back, too-cool-for-the-current-thing victims of western meta-irony brain rot. It’s like spraying yourself with asshole repellant.

Supporting Palestine doesn’t automatically make you a good person; opposing genocide and apartheid is just the basic bare-minimum position we’re all morally obligated to take. But supporting Israel against the Palestinians absolutely does automatically make you a bad person.

Palestine is an interesting issue in that someone’s position on it doesn’t merely tell you about their politics, it tells you who they are as a person. If they can listen to you talk about all the horrific things Israel has done in Gaza and still have an objection to your position on the matter, then they’re not the sort of person you want in your life. If they can look at all those videos of shrapnel-shredded children and the satellite images showing entire neighborhoods pulverized to powder and then still think you’re the problem for opposing those things, then they’re showing you that there is something profoundly wrong with them as human beings.

I haven’t lost a single relationship I care about in these last three years. I’ve alienated a few obnoxious old acquaintances whom I’ve never liked, but all the people I actually value and want to keep in my life are fully on my side when it comes to hating Israel and supporting the Palestinians. Turns out I had done a pretty good job of surrounding myself with decent human beings in the years prior to the Gaza holocaust, but if I hadn’t I would have driven away the genocide supporters without a moment’s hesitation, and I would have been glad that circumstances forced them to expose their true nature to me.

You don’t even need to be that dramatic about it, though. Simply holding your position and refusing to be bullied out of it is generally all it takes to get such individuals to step away from you. If they know you think their whole worldview is wrong and that their values system is depraved, and they know they can’t talk you out of that perspective, then they’re probably not going to want to hang out with you.

In a world that has gone mad, it’s important to find little signposts of clarity to help you morally orient yourself so you don’t get swept up in the insanity with the herd. Palestine is one such signpost, because it’s such a blatantly obvious moral position to hold on to. But in a world that has gone mad, insisting on sanity will often turn the insane against you.

‘Strong indications’ that Iran played role in RAF Fairford incident, says Burnham

There are “strong indications” that Iran played a role in events in which five men were arrested near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire as part of a terror investigation, Andy Burnham has said. Speaking to the media at the end of the Labour party conference in Liverpool, Burnham said he could not give any more details amid a police investigation, but that Iran was believed to be involved.

On Tuesday, Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, said Washington believed “a foreign actor” was involved in the events on Sunday night at the airbase, which has been used by US planes for missions against Iran.

In an interview with BBC News, Burnham said: “There are strong indications that Iran played a part in what happened over the weekend at RAF Fairford, but of course it remains an ongoing, complex, and serious police investigation. “And of course, we are working closely with our colleagues in the United States of America. So it’s ongoing.”

The five men, all in their 20s and from London, were arrested in the Gloucestershire countryside near the airbase after a local woman driving home saw a series of vans and men in masks, and called police. They were first arrested on explosives charges and then later for preparing acts of terrorism. All five were released on police bail on Monday after an examination of what was found in the vans, and searches of addresses linked to them across London.

It emerged on Tuesday that one of the five men arrested called the police to report the incident.

Iran–China freight trade grows tenfold amid US naval blockade

Rail freight from China to Iran has increased tenfold since the US imposed a maritime blockade on Iranian ports, as Tehran brings three rail corridors online and expands capacity at its northern ports, Iranian parliament member Meisam Zohourian revealed on 29 September.

Zohourian said the same land and rail network could allow Iran to ship between 300,000 and 400,000 barrels of oil abroad per day (bpd), bypassing sea routes entirely.

He said that launching overland crude exports by rail and truck could establish alternative non-maritime trade corridors and eventually lead to building pipelines if they prove financially practical, he added.

Zohourian acknowledged that rail cannot carry the full load once handled by sea, but said it offers Tehran a dependable fallback in times of crisis and strengthens the resilience of Iran's foreign commerce in ordinary times as well.

He credited post-blockade consultations for opening the new routes that drove the jump in rail freight.

Israeli forces overwhelmed by violent settlers in ‘terrorist attack’ on Palestinian family

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has said Israeli settler violence in the West Bank has made everyday life for Palestinians “untenable”, as a mob attack on Palestinians trying to return home prompted one of Benjamin Netanyahu’s main rivals to warn of a campaign of settler terror.

More than 100 militant settlers overwhelmed Israeli security forces early on Tuesday to attack a Palestinian family as they attempted to reclaim their homes which had been seized by settlers in the West Bank village of Jalud. Three Israeli security officials were injured and houses were set on fire. The impotence of the Israeli military, the scale of the assault and the injuries inflicted on Israeli security officers by settlers prompted unusually harsh condemnation from Israeli politicians and commenters.

Israel is facing unprecedented international pressure over surging violence in the occupied West Bank, where settler militants backed by cabinet ministers have accelerated a campaign of ethnic cleansing ahead of Israel’s elections next month.

Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog, condemned the attacks in Jalud as a “moral stain”. Gadi Eisenkot, a former military chief and Netanyahu’s leading challenger in the upcoming elections, called for action to halt a “campaign of terror and violence”. Deadlier attacks by Israeli settlers, including ones targeting Palestinian children, have drawn less attention inside Israel.

“Palestinian rights or safety are not the concern, even for people who are in the opposition,” said Mairav Zonszein, a senior analyst on Israel-Palestine with International Crisis Group. “The settler violence is an issue [for them] because it’s making Israel look bad, and also the idea that the military is losing control.”

Pilot who stabbed co-pilot on Israel-bound plane may have tried to crash it, says Netanyahu

One of the pilots of a plane flying from the United Arab Emirates to Israel stabbed his co-pilot and appeared to try to crash the aircraft, the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said, as Israeli officials said they were investigating whether the incident was an attempted terror attack on Israelis. Eyewitnesses reported chaos onboard the flydubai flight, as the attacker tried to barricade himself and the wounded co-pilot in the cockpit, and then attempted to disable the controls, forcing the plane to descend 17,000 feet in just two minutes.

Passenger Yaniv Hayoun later recounted how he and other passengers heard screaming and felt pressure as the plane dived before forcing their way into the cockpit and finding the attacker at the instrument panel. “I grabbed the attacker, put him in a chokehold, and dragged him out first,” Hayoun said during a meeting with Netanyahu after the plane had landed safely and the passengers were flown to Israel. “He was trying to destroy the instruments to disable the plane.”

As others wrestled with the attacker, Hayoun said he grabbed the controls and pulled them the way he had seen on television. Then other crew members took over.

The stabbed pilot was identified as Indian national Captain Smit Machchhar, who was said to have made the emergency call and opened the door to the cockpit, allowing others to rush in and subdue the attacker. “Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker – preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster,” Netanyahu said, crediting him with saving 174 people onboard.

The plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia, with the two pilots wounded but other passengers safe, according to a statement from Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz international airport, more commonly known as Tabuk airport. The pilot accused of carrying out the stabbing was being questioned by Saudi authorities, Netanyahu said. Israel’s transport ministry said it would carry out a joint investigation with the defence establishment. It was not immediately clear what motivated the apparent attack.

Federal Judge Rejects Trump’s Rationale for Hiding Memo on ‘Cold-Blooded Murder’ at Sea

A key memo from the Office of Legal Counsel at President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice has underpinned the administration’s yearlong campaign of bombing boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean, and the White House has been adamant that the document should be kept secret.

But on Wednesday, Judge Paul Engelmayer in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York rejected the administration’s rationale for keeping the memo hidden, saying that the Department of Defense and US Southern Command have adopted its contents as its “working law” while conducting 70 strikes on boats and killing at least 234 people who officials claimed, without evidence, were “narco-terrorists.”

After the ACLU and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) filed a Freedom of Information Act request calling for the release of the 40-page memo, the administration argued it needed to remain secret to protect confidential deliberations and attorney-client communications.

Engelmayer noted that administration officials have repeatedly cited the memo in public statements to explain why it was bombing dozens of boats that it claimed were operated by drug cartels—which experts and family members of some of the victims have called into question.

“The agency defendants cannot claim surprise from this consequence of the executive branch’s repeated public statements embracing the OLC memo—and it only—as setting out the legal parameters for the boat strikes,” Engelmayer wrote.

Jeffrey Stein, staff attorney with the ACLU’s National Security Project, called the order “a huge step in the right direction of ensuring that the government does not get to summarily execute people based on secret law.”

“The public deserves to know how our government is justifying the cold-blooded murder of hundreds of civilians,” said Stein.

The judge ordered the administration to turn the memo over to him so he can determine whether it should be released to the public. He also ordered officials to provide information about who has seen the memo and how they have used it, and called on the administration to provide details on whether the memo could be protected from public view as a “closely held presidential advice document.”

A federal judge ORDERED the Trump admin to privately show him the memo purporting to justify boat strikes that have killed 234 people in the Caribbean and Pacific.

Judge Engelmayer rejected several rationales for withholding the memo from the public and will determine whether to release it.

Engelmayer gave the administration until October 14 to comply with the order.

The boat strikes have been carried out as part of Trump’s stated push to defeat drug cartels in Latin America. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) has pointed out that there is little evidence the administration is ensuring it is targeting drug boats, as the presence of drugs on a boat has not been identified as “targeting criteria” for the operation in congressional briefings. Some victims have been identified as fishermen and other people who had little, if any, involvement with drug trafficking.

Beyond that, legal experts say that even if the 234 victims were drug traffickers, the boat bombings constitute extrajudicial killings and violations of international law—something Trump himself appeared to brag about last week when he said at the United Nations General Assembly that “we don’t waste our time” addressing alleged drug crimes in the court system.

“No president can arbitrarily assassinate people from the sky based on their sole say-so,” said Baher Azmy, legal director for CCR. “If the OLC opinion seeks to dress up the obvious illegality of these serial murders in legalese to provide Trump cover, the public needs to see that analysis and ultimately hold accountable all those who facilitate murder in the United States’ name.”

Pentagon says it has formally completed withdrawal of US troops from Iraq

The Pentagon has announced it has formally completed its withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, two years after the withdrawal was agreed to and 12 years since the US mission to fight the Islamic State started. After the announcement, Iran and its allies celebrated the departure as a victory, while Iraqi security experts worry that the withdrawal could give IS and others a chance to recover.

“Today, the United States and our coalition partners formally concluded Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq,” the Pentagon said in a statement, adding that the departure of its forces “marks the successful conclusion of the military mission that defeated Isis in Iraq”.

The Pentagon said it would continue to provide training and intelligence support to Iraq “to ensure Isis can never reconstitute from Iraqi territory.

Speaking on Wednesday about the withdrawal at a White House event for Hispanic Heritage Month, Donald Trump cast it as a win, calling the Iraq war a “quagmire” that grew out of “very bad decision-making”. He said: “This is a great day for America.”

He also described it as a victory for both countries, saying it was “a victory for Iraq, and a decisive victory over Isis”.

Hegseth confirms plan to cut 20% of US top military brass and rails at ‘beardos, weirdos and wimps’

The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has confirmed plans to cut 20% of generals and admirals and declared “no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps” would be tolerated inside the country’s military. Delivering his latest extraordinary attack on diversity, and dismissing reports of low morale within the US armed forces as “false claims”, Hegseth also suggested they were retaining service personnel at “record” rates.

The defense secretary pointed to those onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, following concern over mental health and supply issues on the aircraft carrier, which was deployed for almost nine months. About “80% of the force” onboard was retained, he said.

Addressing lower-ranking troops at the Marine Corps Base on Wednesday, Hegseth boasted about the anti-diversity policies in the Pentagon pushed by Donald Trump’s administration. “The only focus, as you know, in your formations should be training, readiness, accountability, discipline and lethality,” Hegseth said. “And when you pursue those things, you don’t have to walk on eggshells … the complainers, the ideologues and the poor performers are no longer in the driver’s seat.”

He added: “But it’s worth saying again, so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that: no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors.”

During his speech in Quantico, Virginia, the defense secretary announced several new initiatives, including a a new Pentagon project which will see Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey – a top Trump donor and ally – and Newt Gingrich, the former US House speaker, work with the department to study the “future of warfare”.

US immigration judge allows cold war-era law to deport Wisconsin mosque’s president

An immigration judge has ruled that the president of Wisconsin’s largest mosque can be deported under a controversial, cold-war era law the Trump administration has sought to wield against foreign nationals who have been outspoken about Palestinian rights. Salah Sarsour, a US permanent resident for nearly three decades, was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in March. He was released after a federal judge found he had probably been detained in retaliation of his advocacy for Palestinian rights, which the federal judge said would render his detention unlawful.

Despite that ruling, the administration pressed forward and fast-tracked Sarsour’s immigration case – a separate legal track – and on Tuesday night an immigration judge ruled he is “removable”. Judge Jayme Salinardi, who was brought in from out of state to oversee the case, announced he would be retiring shortly after issuing the decision.

In a statement, Sarsour’s attorneys called the ruling “a setback for free speech rights”.

“The case we presented compels only one conclusion, which is that Salah is not deportable, he has done nothing wrong,” Patrick Taurel, one of Sarsour’s attorneys, said during a press conference shortly after the hearing. “He should be given back his green card with an apology for what’s been done to him.”

In addition to his involvement with several local organizations, Sarsour is a board member of American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), a national advocacy group that Trump administration officials have accused of countering US foreign policy interests. “They’re retaliating against him for speaking out about Palestinian human rights,” said Luna Droubi, another attorney. “That should terrify all of us.”

Trump ally urges administration to ‘step back’ and rethink immigration agenda

A close political ally of Donald Trump has broken from the administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement agenda and recommended it “step back” to evaluate what it could do better. “To get better, the first thing you got to do is admit you’re doing something wrong,” Jim Justice, a Republican senator of West Virginia, told Politico. “And in this situation, with all that’s going on and all the stuff, we probably got to step back from it and say: ‘Maybe we’re doing something wrong here or there,’ and then adjust to that.”

Justice, who also sits on the Senate agriculture committee, made his comments after three rancher associations condemned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity for negatively affecting agricultural communities. But his comments also come after an ACLU of West Virginia investigation found that about three-quarters of the more than 593 arrested by ICE in the state during “Operation Country Roads” in January had no criminal record.

“Before you know it, you get people that get carried away in their job and whatever it may be, and all of a sudden, then you’re dragging people away that have lived on your street corner for 15 years, and I don’t know that we need to be doing that stuff,” Justice told Politico.

For ranchers in rural communities, ICE operations have had “a massive chilling effect on the legal, documented, skilled workers” who assist in beef production and the cattle supply chain, the Kansas Livestock Association, Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association and Texas Cattle Feeders Association said in a statement released last week.

Dairy farmers have also recently raised concerns that ICE operations in rural areas could soon hurt their industries. “If we had a concerted effort to have enforcement activities within agriculture, you could really harm our ability to produce food to feed ourselves,” Rick Naerebout, the CEO of the Idaho Dairymen’s Association, told NPR.

Good news in US inflation report boosts chances Fed won’t hike rates

Good economic news boosted Wall Street’s main indexes on Wednesday, as a softer-than-anticipated inflation reading buoyed up hopes that the Federal Reserve might not hike rates as soon ⁠as next month. A commerce department report ⁠showed the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) ​price index stood at 3.4% on an annual basis in August against estimates of 3.7%, per economists polled by Reuters.

Separately, second-quarter GDP data – the broadest measure of the economy’s health – showed that the US economy grew at a solid clip, driven ⁠by robust consumer spending and business investment related to the buildout of AI infrastructure. “The market had been tracing out a bullish formation, meaning the price pattern suggested that any positive catalyst could trigger a move higher and that’s exactly ⁠what happened,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research.

Traders now see a roughly 35% chance of an October rate hike, down from about ​a 45% chance, according to data ‌compiled by LSEG. The Federal Reserve is under pressure to cut rates from the White House after raising them earlier this month for the first time since 2023.

Inflation has emerged as the top issue for voters in the run-up to the midterm elections with Donald Trump receiving poor marks for his handling of the economy.

Federal Reserve watchdog finds no criminal violations for building renovation cost overruns

An internal watchdog said the Federal Reserve mismanaged costs associated with a $2.4bn renovation of its Washington DC headquarters, but noted that no criminal violations occurred, according to a report released on Wednesday.

For over a year, Donald Trump has centered his attacks against the Fed and former chair Jerome Powell around the renovations, including a months-long Department of Justice criminal investigation that was dropped in April.

The report said that the Fed’s board of governors “has not effectively managed” the construction project and “repeatedly deviated from its cost-management provisions”, but noted that the mismanagement was not criminal and that it did not find any administrative misconduct in its evaluation. “At no point during our evaluation did we find reasonable grounds to believe that a violation of federal criminal law had occurred,” the report said.

Over the course of renovations, construction costs have gone from an initially budgeted $921m in February 2020 to $2.018bn by December 2024. Construction was supposed to be completed in mid-2024 but is not slated to go until December 2027.

The renovations have been a key part of the tension between the White House and the Fed, which by law is supposed to be non-partisan and independent. Trump has long been trying to pressure the Fed into lowering interest rates, to no avail.

Senate blocks Republican bill restricting stock trades by US Congress members

The US Senate on Wednesday blocked a Republican bill restricting stock trading by members of Congress, after Democrats refused to advance a measure they said would let lawmakers keep their portfolios and was bundled with voter ID rules they called a “poison pill”.

The 53-47 vote fell seven short of the 60 needed to open debate on the Stop Insider Trading Act, which the Republican-controlled House passed in July. Every Democrat and independent voted no, and the failure comes five weeks before the 3 November midterms.

The bill would bar members of Congress, their spouses and their dependent children from buying individual stocks. Democrats said that falls short of a ban because lawmakers could keep everything they already own, reinvest dividends into more shares and let a spouse or child trade on their behalf.

Several also wanted the rules extended to the president and other White House officials, while others objected to the photo ID requirements for voting, which they said would make it harder for eligible citizens to cast ballots.

Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, called the bill “a permission slip for corruption” and said Republicans had designed it to fail. He noted that a Senate committee advanced a bipartisan ban last year and accused Republicans of ignoring it. His deputy, Dick Durbin, dismissed the “meaningless” bill as “an inadequate congressional stock trading ban” and “Republican messaging”.

World’s oceans absorbed record heat equal to 40 times annual global energy use

A record-breaking 23 zettajoules of heat was sunk into the world’s seas last year, leaving ocean waters hotter, higher and less hospitable, a report has found. The explosive addition of thermal energy, which was almost 40 times greater than all the energy humanity used that year, comes amid far-reaching changes to the deep water bodies fundamental to life on Earth.

Sea levels have risen by about 3.8mm per year since 1999, and at a faster rate of 4.2mm per year between 2012 and 2025, according to the 10th edition of the Copernicus ocean state report. It found the global ocean has become 17% more acidic in the last 40 years. Oceans have absorbed about one-third of the carbon dioxide that humanity has spewed and about 90% of the extra heat that greenhouse gas pollution has trapped in the Earth’s system.

In Europe, which is heating twice as fast as the global average, the Mediterranean and Black Seas have been plagued by record-breaking marine heatwaves – with elevated temperatures that persist deep below the surface – and bouts of extreme heat that have lasted more than a month, the scientists found.

The scientists found a clear acceleration of sea level rise in the western Mediterranean, even as the eastern part showed uneven gains. The entire sea has warmed by 0.32C per decade, the report found, driving up marine heatwaves, particularly in the last few years. A joule, the unit used to measure heat, is the amount of electricity required to run a one watt device for one second; a zettajoule is a billion trillion joules.

The report documented extensive damage to marine life resulting from the heat. Between January 2023 and September 2025, 84% of the world’s coral reefs experienced bleaching-level heat stress. Over the past 30 years, nearly 5% of the ocean has seen a persistent shift in growth patterns of phytoplankton, tiny creatures that underpin food webs and regulate carbon flows. In the Antarctic, four emperor penguin colonies saw total breeding failures in 2022 during periods of record-low sea ice.

Senate Democrats block datacenter energy bill, saying ‘toothless’ legislation ‘misses the mark’

Senate Democrats on Wednesday blocked legislation intended to offset the impact of datacenters on consumer electricity bills, calling it a “toothless” attempt to address a top voter concern ahead of November’s midterm elections.

The Ratepayer Protection Act failed by a 57-to-43 vote, falling just shy of the 60 votes necessary to advance through the Republican-controlled chamber. Four Democrats – Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and both Georgia senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock – joined Republicans in support of the measure.

“Americans are calling for real solutions, real guardrails, real solutions on AI. Republicans’ toothless datacenter bill completely misses the mark,” the Senate Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer, said in a floor speech before the vote. Schumer assailed Trump for a meeting with top tech executives on Tuesday that the president said yielded a “morally binding” agreement to put controls on artificial intelligence. “Relying on ‘self-regulation’ is how we got into this mess,” Schumer added.

Earlier this month, the House of Representatives had approved the bill by an almost unanimous vote. Datacenter construction and electricity consumption has grown in recent years amid advances in AI and other technologies, and with it has come increasing anxiety among voters about the facilities’ impacts on their energy bills.

The bipartisan legislation is an attempt by Congress to address those anxieties, and would have required electric utilities to consider adopting new standards so that datacenters pick up the costs of any necessary upgrades to transmission, generation and distribution, which can otherwise be transferred to households and businesses.
