“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax”

In the Victorian era, there was a disease: climacteric insanity. It was a form of hysteria which specifically *only* affected women aged 40-60. And these were its symptoms, which might sound familiar to a lot of you around that age...

Basic morality and simple logic dictate that the right of self-defense belongs to the Palestinian people, not to their oppressor. And international law agrees.
