No better than Hamas, no better than the far right (in any country, including in Israel itself). A potential terrorist POS who deserves to be at the sharp end of an Israeli Air Force missile.

This is what the “Pro-Palestine” movement care about.

It was never about “Palestinians” or Peace.

It’s about wiping out 7.4 Million Jews.

A bigger Holocaust than WW2.

Thats it.

Outstanding piece by Stephen Daisley.

Ethnicity is no barrier to Britishness - it's culture and integration.

That means 'smaller cohorts and aggressive integration policies' - and tackling the institutions that 'have amplified grievance narratives and radical anti-Western ideologies'.

Once felon trump declares the Insurrection Act,
Felon trump will try & cancel the elections.
He’s allowed to do that under the Insurrection Act.
He’ll also try & suspend or end the Constitution.
This is exactly his plan.
Total control.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield @agdanrayfield.bsky.social · 5d
