Fantastic as always; thanks for posting it. I often forget to check on him for some reason which is nuts because I think he's pretty much the best reporter on this topic.

This sums it up but god it's depressing:

But the truth is that western politics is now entirely unresponsive to popular demand. The last vestiges of democratic accountability were gutted many years ago as the West’s political systems were completely captured by powerful globe-spanning corporations.

Tens of millions of people turned out on the streets of Europe to try to halt the US and Britain’s illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003, and it made not a jot of difference.

The situation with Gaza is even worse. It is not just that, as before, no one in power is listening. Those opposing Israel’s genocide, and western complicity in it, are being utterly maligned. The millions marching against the slaughter are reported as “tens of thousands”, while being actively smeared as “antisemites”.

We all cling to some hope of accountability for these bastards somewhere down the road but I don't know, it just feels unlikely.
