Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary.
Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary:
“I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”

Enjoying this reminder of imperial duplicity, great contributors, esp. @alexvont.bsky.social whose Blood and Sand is worth another read.
Oh, God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God said, "No" Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want, Abe, but
The next time you see me comin', you better run"
Well, Abe said, "Where d'you want this killin' done?"
God said, "Out on Highway 61"
Thanks to the current issue of Jewish Socialist for its review pointing me in the direction of this wonderful book. One for my utopian friends, too. @jewishsocialist.bsky.social @utopiaanddystopia.bsky.social
Sad that Hungary only has the typical modern choice of fascist right wing vs. neoliberal right wing, but still I am hoping the fascist bites the dust today. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Apocalypse Postponed, then. Watch as our many of our pundits and politicians represent a threat of genocide as a smart bargaining move that paid off.
It's almost the centenary of the General Strike so it's a good excuse to tell the story of an event that keeps popping up in other episodes. Nine days of national drama with an all-star cast. Featuring Bad Churchill, the BBC in crisis, fascists, communists, workers and toffs
"The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish." - All signatory states have, therefore, a duty to prevent Trump carrying through on his threats.
Note the absurdity according to which trans people are held to standards of virtue and consistency that cis people are not, and their every flaw is somehow taken to tell us something about trans people generally. She was a fine and intelligent writer and a person of great courage though.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?
This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
Reminder that Elon Musk is a mass murderer and he probably doesn’t think about it at all

Lynching for lebensraum. The moral degradation of the tradition that once exhorted us to love your neighbour and the stranger.
But behind the scenes, Israeli officials have conveyed a more targeted message. In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Druse communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardment flatten Shiite towns, according to local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders who spoke to The New York Times. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.
So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

Performative revenge motivates the new discriminatory death penalty law in Israel. A vile repugnant nauseating display of cruelty and absolutist power
Americans keep finding new ways to be reactionary while left-wing — nativism under the guise of "anti-gentrification". Phrases like "We are full" and "Why do u need to come here?" have a familiar ring.
Never thought I’d see the President of the United States threatening to commit blatant war crimes on social media, but here we are.

Yesterday, 18 March, was the anniversary of the founding of the Paris Commune. For a brief moment in 1871 a utopia was within reach. And some of its embers continued to burn in my neighbourhood, Fitzrovia.
They lie blatantly: “During the operation, a vehicle accelerated toward the forces, who perceived an immediate threat to their safety and responded with gunfire..." The killers were an undercover unit in a car with Palestinian plates. Why would the family's car threaten them?
