EU and UK demand Israel stop surge in West Bank settler violence Six Palestinians have been killed during attacks by settlers in the West Bank since the start of Israel's war, the UN says.

The European Union and United Kingdom, which have largely done nothing at all to hold Israel to account and swear off ever doing anything to hold Israel to account, demand that Israel stop its land theft in the West Bank, or else the EU and UK will do nothing some more.

I know it won't make any difference to his voters, who pay no attention to what's actually going on, and think foresight is for pussies and consequences can be wished away.

But if Farage was PM, we'd now be in a moronic, illegal war he demanded we join 2 days ago, and now thinks is a disaster.

Absolutely. If the UK had committed to this in the 1990s, energy security would have been fully established by now.

Very entertaining thread. Reform are such whiny little snowflakes. But then their entire platform is based on paranoia and the belief that they are the victims, and it's everyone else's fault, never theirs. Pathetic.

You know those illegal orders military members are not supposed to follow?

Everyone who just acted on going to war by a 34 felon five time draft dodger rapist pedophile just followed illegal orders because we did it without Congressional approval.

How Operation Epstein Fury was conceived: Susie Wiles, Marco Rubio, and John Ratcliffe, gathered in the Pedophile Protection room at Mar-a-Lago, brainstorming on how to save America's pedophile president from being outed as a child rapist.

Israel strikes two schools in Iran, killing more than 100 people Israeli strikes targeted a girls' school in the southern city of Minab and another school east of Tehran.

This story is not on the front page of every British newspaper today.
Imagine if this was Israel, the U.S., or us?

Remember how Trump's SOTU included a line about how he'd stopped eight wars, including Israel v. Iran?

"We will protect British culture, because a nation without a culture is not a nation at all. It is just an economic zone. We will preserve Britain's Christian heritage and end the incendiary practice of converting churches into mosques or any other place of worship."

"We will protect British culture, because a nation without a culture is not a nation at all. It is just an economic zone. We will preserve Britain's Christian heritage and end the incendiary practice of converting churches into mosques or any other place of worship."

It's excellent that Reform wants to preserve our Christian heritage.

Compassion, selflessness, reaching out to the desperate and destitute, mercy and kindness. These are excellent values.

That is what they mean right?

β€œIf he knew he was going to blurt out offensive slurs, he shouldn’t have gone to the event”

Yes. Absolutely. He shouldn’t have gone to the event where a movie explaining ALL ABOUT his Tourette’s was getting an award.

Never forget that Colin Brazier thought it was professionally sound as a journalist to rifle through the belongings of the victims of the MH17 airplane crash.

Consider: private prisons profit by packing max "detainees" in minimum space (paid per detainee). There are only a finite number of "illegal" people to detain. How to profit when ICE runs out of immigrants? By detaining "enemies of the regime." Us. They're building it out today. We're next tomorrow.

The thing management fails to realize as they replace workers with β€œcheap” AI is that once they fire everyone, and that talent pool loses its skillset, the AI companies are going to jack up the prices to cost even more than their workers do.

That’s the scam. It’s not complex.
