“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

I do take Palestine demos today as expressions of support for the October 7th atrocities, and I do assume the people attending are either clueless or active supporters. I do consider 'Globalise the intifada' to be inciteful, and certainly as outrageous as 'Gllobalise the nakbah' would be.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Do people watch Graham Norton? I tend to watch artistic films, mainly French films because of the artistic expression. This just seems like entertainment for lesser minds, maybe try reading novels. Perhaps Russian literature like Tolstoy?

Today, we remember the victims of the heinous attacks by Hamas on 7 October 2023.

The prospects for peace are more realistic today than ever before.

This war can end.
With all hostages released.
And a chance for suffering to stop.

"Of course, like around two-thirds of British Jews, I am a Zionist. What about the history of Jews in Europe would make me not see the case for a Jewish lifeboat outside of it?"

100 per cent agree with this excellent piece by @stephenkb.bsky.social

Israel seems more important — and less desirable — than ever for British Jews

Amid rising antisemitism at home, our lifeboat abroad seems less attractive

"We can't have particular communities where there's a heavy preponderance of one group or another. That's the kind of country I want my kids to be growing up in," says Jenrick, who lives in Herefordshire where 96.9% of the population identified as white in 2021

Best for Britain @bestforbritain.org · 1d

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA
