Israel now considers independent journalists to be terrorists. They admit targeting Al Jazeera reporters and cameraman and deliberately killing them. I don't know how anyone can defend Israel's war crimes.

The king is doing exceptional work: going to Canada, lending his weight to Carney, allowing himself to be used, in the best possible way, to put Trump back in his box. Really delicate, supportive, important work.

“A Financial Times analysis of more than 350,000 posts on X related to the election, gathered since the snap poll was announced in March, revealed a network of co-ordinated accounts pushing content to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish his counterpart, the Liberal’s Mark Carney.”
