Fixed it for you.
Novara Media is well worth checking out tonight. Thereās an interview with a Palestinian lecturer who has just won a settlement with Sheffield Hallam Uni after they breached a non disparaging agreement by sending case details to the Jewish Chronicle and Keir Starmer
Fair play to NM for casting light on this and fair play to her for making a powerful case and retaining her integrity.
Fuck off Sheffield Hallam, you compromised clearing cunts.
Probably you already know what this is. Probably before you read a word of it, you decided what it was, where you stand on it, how youāre going to feel about it. The headline, thereās your first clue. Maybe you recognised the name of the writer and drew your own conclusions. And of course thereās the Guardian masthead at the top, the worldās leading batāsignal for wet liberals, so already thereās a selfāselecting audience there.

71 killed in airstrikes since ceasefire announcement - Hamas-run civil defence
09:35 Breaking
The Hamas-run civil defence agency says 71 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza since the ceasefire announcement yesterday.
They say this figure includes more than 19 children and 24 women.
The Israeli military has not yet commented.
I did finish my beer by the way
This is an interesting watch. Apparently, due to timing, Trumpās team have been involved in the recent negotiations, primarily because they need to uphold anything that was discussed.
This channel is not a pro-Trump one, but seems to acknowledge that, contrary to everyoneās expectation that Trump would just let Bibi do whatever he wanted, the incoming administration s pushing back hard.
Trouble is, that was this weekā¦ next week theyāll be best buddies. 
Trump has bigger fish to fry and right now he can do without Israel being dicks - his team have created some space to manoeuvre
Quite a business like approach - new CEOs often want the decks cleared before they get going - no point wasting your time putting out someone elseās fires particularly when your bonus (legacy) is at stake
The key point here is that this is a cease fire - its not peace. if Israel want to get medieval later, then I suspect Trump will accommodate that provided it fits with his agenda
I am not so sure.
I think the Jeffrey Sachs thing that Trump reposted is significant. Listening to that, it doesnāt appear as if Bibi is going to be on the stage for very long.
According to some reports, not invited to the inauguration and has the law laid down to him during Sabbath. Netanyahu has to drag his arse into his office to answer to Steve Witkoff.
Easly days yet, but a far cry from what weāve seen before.
I wonder what was said in that meeting.
Sign the fucking deal or we turn off your air defence system

Thing is, itās always been as simple as that.
Iāve heard some commentators say that because Trump isnāt serving a second term, he wonāt care too much about who he pisses off.
Like yourself, I imagine something of that ilk was said. Play ball or we pull the plug.
The issue is that no US president since Reagan has had the balls to say it.
Trump is a bully who has the biggest stick so he is going to swing it

Have I missed the stories and pictures of the Palestinians to be released (ok itās due to happen shortly)?
Seems to be just wall to wall about the release of the Israelies (which is good btw).
Also not a great deal about the slaughter of c46k Palestinians, most of which were non-combatants.
Mention of far right Israeli protesters against the release of Palestinian captives.
Dead Belgianās donāt count.

Itās just been announced that 90 Palestinian āprisonersā have been released by Israel, including several women and children as young as 8 years old. Our unbiased MSM, including the BBC sadly, always refer to Palestinians as āprisonersā, but Israelis are always āhostagesā. Language matters, get with the program!

What an eye-opener this Bob Vylan and Kneecap lark is.
Now I am one of the few people whoād heard of both prior to this weekend. Bob Vylan have a particularly vicious track that I was into last year.
The act has been dropped from a load of other festivals as a result of their chant, āDeath, Death to the IDFā, something that has been characterised as antisemitic because most Israelis get conscripted into it.
The wiser might point out that āhey, the IDF is an institution, not a raceā and theyād be right, but who the fuck is listening to the wise these days?
Even if they are, are they brave enough to speak out?
Itās weird when you think about the numbers. Even if you assumed that every Jewish person in the UK supported what is going on in Gaza, thatās only 270k people.
Itās a bit like asking the population of Southampton to be the arbiters of a foreign conflict.
Thing is, you canāt really make that assumption. Iāve been on marches with Jewish people that were as vehemently opposed to Israelās treatment of Palestinians as I was.
The absolute best critics of Israel are Jewish and normally do live in Israsl, but even that is a country that has a smaller population than London.
If there is one good thing about Trump running the US, I think his ego is bigger than his political acumen. I will say that Biden never pushed this hard for a ceasefire, which Trump claims to have achieved tonight.
I also think he will get fucked off with being fucked over in a way that few American Presidents have.
But returning to the original point, it is insane that the chant is bigger news than the people whoāve been shot darting to get food from aid trucks.
The link between the IDF and Jewry is even more insane.
Itās like saying someone is Islamophobic because they call for the death of ISIS or the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
