#rolling out the red carpet

by Nicole Lampert
There have been so many incidents that have seemed upside down since October 7 that sometimes it is all too much to bear. The celebrations in the street on October 8, the way the BBC keeps parroting Hamas lies, the fact that the murder of Israelis led to record antisemitism in the UK, the Jew hate marching down our streets every weekend while the police watch on. I could go on.
But few examples have been more stark, in my eyes, than what is happening this week.
Yesterday I watched our Prime Minister tell a Labour Friends of Israel lunch that his government stands behind the ‘independence’ of the ICC to issue warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. That means – however much they are presently pussyfooting around the issue - our government will attempt to arrest the Israeli politicians should they step foot on UK soil.
Meanwhile, just a day later, we are literally rolling out the red carpet for the leaders of Qatar, the nation which has for years, housed and funded Hamas.
So eager are our leaders to show a huge welcome to the Qataris that the poor Princess of Wales disturbed her cancer recovery to be dragged out to Horse Guard Parade, joining King Charles, Prince William and the Qatari Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and the first of his three wives.
A lunch, golden carriages and a fancy pants Buckingham Palace state banquet await. But I’m thinking about the British hostage Emily Damari. Who knows what her last meal was? What rags she is dressed in? Has anyone even mentioned Emily to the Sheikh as they gladhand and grin in photographs with him?
Let me repeat: Qatar is the country which has both housed and supported Hamas as well as many other Muslim Brotherhood terror networks. They are a danger to the world.
There is an irony too that of the many things Israel is accused of doing, Qatar gets away with barely a peep from the sanctimonious crew.
Just a few years ago, it bought a World Cup, used slave labour to create the arenas and we stood by and let it happen. Controversial Qatari minister Nasser Al-Khelaifi – not only runs top French team Paris Saint Germain but is also chairman of the European Club Association, making him one of the most influential people in European football. Visit Qatar is an official sponsor of the UEFA Euros 2024 and 2028.

If giving the Meta CEO, Amazon CEO, Google CEO, Tesla CEO, TikTok CEO, and a convicted felon of a billionaire the keys to the car of the most influential country in the world doesn't seem like the most dystopian oligarchy set up you've ever seen, please gtf away from me
#half of america literally rolled out the red carpet for billionaires#like om so sorry if you think for a second they'll drop a couple grand on you#like you clowns they want every penny from you while you work to the bone to support their business#us politics#politics#inauguration#mark zuckerberg#jeff bezos#sundar pichai#shou zi chew#c#january 20#2025#oligarchy#welcome to hell#can't believe im the one facing the consequences of the actions of others

pretty privilege in general is a terrible tool. but when the racism that it's ingrained in really has a platform to activate, it's just absurd .
#if ure a pretty white boy. oh my goodness. roll out the red frickin carpet to all the fame attention & feminization in the world#omg hes so pretty. pretty like a woman. hes just like a woman. lets treat him like an object#everything he does isnt really his fault. hes just a girl bcs hes pretty. bcs hes pretty lets make him cry#lets do a deepdive into his character & pounce or paint any opportunity possible to find a villain in his life that isnt himself#meanwhile a poc person is pretty & theyre get a compliment sure#but never like. a normal one#they can get treated like a goddess or a god yea#but like. one that imposes fear and distance. only to be admired from a distance#if ure pretty and poc then ure an artifact to steal#if ure pretty and white then ure a crisp blank page for ppl to doodle out all their fantasies and plans for u to fold right along into#bcs ure pretty just like a girl: usable.#shit is just stacks on stacks on stacks of stagnant thinking stacked onto sick ideals#idk man#maybe im just going crazy bcs i hate too much of anything. getting irritable & tired from feeling trapped#cant ever escape anything bcs the very existence of escape implies the threat of capture

@redemptivexheroics | Ada & Leon | Closed
Ada had left two months ago in the middle of the night, as she got a mission assigned that she needed to do. Not even even letting Leon know where she went or updating him along the way. She didn't necessarily had time for that. It happens, not like it's the first time that she disappears for a mission, it shouldn't have come as shock. Although normally she would show a sign that she's alive with a message. Since the money was good that she was getting paid for, she went. Ada never really hesitates on going on missions nonetheless.
After almost three months the woman finally returned back home, it was a surprise in that time she didn't even run into Leon, guess he didn't really had to go where she was going. Letting out a sigh when she was putting away her weapons. "You think it's smart to sneak up on me like that. Thought you would have learned by now." Ada then said, noticing how Leon was walking up behind her.
