Israel wants to start negotiations over a massive new aid deal that could shape the U.S.-Israeli relationship for the next 20 years. But it is far from certain, as support for Israel is at an all-time...

Occasionally clunky, but everyone should see it. Several outstanding performances, compelling faces, great cinematography. I knew little about the British behaving as badly then as Israelis are now. First visit to the Garden Cinema in Covent Garden: superb set-up, going to become a member.

Nefarious activist groups like Canary Mission & Betar USA need to be publicly challenged & exposed in court, as the racist hate groups & frauds that they are. The impact would increase global distaste for their repugnant views and behaviour

I hope MK wins

This is well researched and understood Gaza analysis

If even a tenth of the information in the piece could be found written by anyone at the ABC, it would be enough

The devastation it discusses is never-ending, unavoidably real. Then compare ABC piece below ↓

Trump is turning Gaza into a brutal colonial protection racket
Trump’s ‘peace plan’ will never be meaningfully realised – and was never intended to be. It is simply a way to justify prolonging Gaza’s living hell

Would be interesting to know how much money you might have volunteered to pay into someone’s daughter’s account, to get this level of veneration from Dirty Donald? We know there was already $2B given [sorry - ‘invested’], how much more is flowing like blood from an embassy?

Telegraph headline: EU could hand Northern Ireland special status to ‘prepare for reunification’

A leaked letter mainly composed of Irish MEPs says Northern Irish politicians should be granted observer status under EU rules.

EU could hand Northern Ireland special status to ‘prepare for reunification’ A leaked letter mainly composed of Irish MEPs says Northern Irish politicians should be granted observer status under EU rules Northern Irish politicians could be reintroduced into the European Parliament in preparation for a united Ireland, The Telegraph can disclose. More than a dozen MEPs have written to Roberta Metsola, the parliament’s president, requesting special “observer” status for Northern Irish representatives. In a leaked letter obtained by The Telegraph the group, mainly composed of Irish MEPs, argued that the move “will be keeping the door open to the European project for the people of Northern Ireland” should Ireland be reunified. Unionists accused the plan’s architects of trying to drag the region back into the European Union. The letter was signed by several members of Sinn Fein, which has been urging the EU to support its campaign to break up the United Kingdom to create a United Ireland. “We believe that the Union should recognise this unique position and offer observer status to Northern Ireland political representatives in the European Parliament,” the MEPs wrote. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/11/18/eu-parliament-northern-ireland-special-status-unite-ireland/
