Ah... that word 'retribution'... would go swimmingly with a nobliest peace prize in 24K gold! 🙄

Well, I read your thread and smiled... and then with my gymnastic mental maths 👀🤭 realised you're speaking of sometime circa 2008... and using words like 'ancient' - thanks for the giggle! 😂

I mean you do have to stop and wonder how someone walking through a revolving door could do so much damage.

Yes. The vote is still being held, just not at an emergency meeting in November... but at a meeting in December.

Misleading headline... the vote will be postponed until/held at a meeting in December.

Yep...
Feel for everyone over there who's just trying to survive this presidency and whack administration. Can't believe he still has supporters.

Well,ok, I still want to see him in The Hague!
Sadly, I'm pretty sure he's ever going to help the USA without a personality transplant, I'm not sure he's capable of it, his focus is 'self' and reflected glory.

'Bibi Netanyahu would call me so many times asking for weapons I never even heard of, but we got them here didn’t we? You used them very well.’
And helped murder up to 20,000 children...
Now do USA?
I want to see him in The Hague.

Yes, I am delighted that the hostages have been released.
Yes, I am delighted that some of the Palestinians who have been been detained without charge by Israel are being released.
Yes, I am angry and distressed at the injustice of what the Palestinian people are still enduring.

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years.

He's been on Question Time once.

Nigel Farage, 44 times.

Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.

#GazaGenocide
A ceasefire and aid were the bare essentials...
For those who ask why are people still protesting... this is why.

Is this correct? Generalising a bit but... are those that perpetually defend 2nd US amendment (its purpose I believe to ensure protection of citizens in case of government overreach?) the ones that generally support the US government and its overreach? 🤔

Boycotting Israel has gone mainstream: ‘We’ve never seen such traction before’

After decades of being dismissed as fringe, the boycott call has been taken up by leading figures across arts, sports and politics

Yes... and I don't trust the Israeli government an inch.
I also can't remotely imagine US troops intervening... anymore than US GHF staff intervened when Palestinians queuing up for food were being shot at... anymore than US intervened when the UN declared plausible case for genocide in Jan '24.

Seriously the last country's military anyone needs there is the US military, given the US $21B investment in this genocide and, indeed, its complicity in the actions of the GHF "aid" organisation. UN peacekeeping forces and those of Arab nations would be better placed to monitor.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

US, your president is underwriting the maiming and starving of babies, is sending your army into... Portland, is arresting and holding people for no reason, is destroying education and healthcare... and taking revenge on his detractors.
But hey, all good, there's 24K gold in the OO. 😳

Maybe just how they treat women in general in private... and can now do it unchallenged in public - and get paid for it.
