On top of the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank and attacking Lebanon, Israel is now attacking Syria in the name of self defence. Israeli self defence extends to trying to stop pro Palestine anti zionist protest here so don't think it doesn't matter because it is happening in the middle east.

The boss of Thames Water has defended executive bonuses as the firm calls for a hike in customer bills to ensure its survival

Humans are so insane that they are now debating who will survive WW3 as if nuclear war is survivable. I would not want to survive and hope they drop one of their bombs on my head.
