  2.  @DAPS-bl7ez  CBC News, Oct 28, 2023:- "A year later, Netanyahu was further embarrassed when photos of suitcases full of cash going to Hamas became public. Liberman finally resigned in protest over Netanyahu's Hamas policy which, he said, marked "the first time Israel is funding terrorism against itself ... Netanyahu's education minister Naftali Bennett also denounced the payments, and also quit."

  3. "Liberal" doesn't mean anything; it's not a word that has much purchase in the UK, we tend to talk in terms of socialist (left wing) or conservative (right wing) principles. Younger Brits listen to a lot of American media who use the false dichotomy of liberal vs conservative, and then continue their ramble built on words that haven't been clearly defined. So it ends up being a meaningless, mangled mess of a statement. What exactly does "women are more liberal" mean? Are they voting Green or Liberal Democrat? No. Are they more engaged in civic minded endeavours, like charities, labour unions, green initiatives? No. Are they more promiscuous? Yes. So that makes them "liberal", does it?

  5. At its peak there were over 9,000 Post Office Local branches being operated as franchises of sorts by private retailers. The new owners (post 2011 privatisation) ended the franchise arrangement because they hoped that people would just travel further and use official post offices, internalising the small profits previously made by corner shops and mini markets. Just another case of privatisation gone wrong. Still waiting for a successful example because it can't be just ravenous shareholders, could it?

  12.  @DarkhorseSJ  The Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) prohibits the targeting of civilians and requires distinguishing between combatants and civilians in military operations. Article 51 specifically prohibits "indiscriminate attacks" and attacks that "employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective."

  14. There is no national piggy bank with a set number of British Pounds. HM Treasury creates pounds out of thin air, and public sector spending causes nearly no inflation since it grows the economy. The source of the majority of price inflation is actually caused by BoE (central bank) interest rate hikes; historically speaking, double digit interest rates have ALWAYS accompanied double digit inflation. Govt spends FIRST, taxes SECOND. The fiscal "deficit" is quite literally private sector income (double entry bookkeeping, people)

  18. Average mortgage terms were 12 to 15 years in the 80s. Today, the average term is 27-30 years (more interest!). 50% of adults now have ~£50k university debt, which was FREE for baby boomers and Gen X. Social housing stock is less than 50% of what it was in the 70s and 80s. Young adults today have it harder than any point in post war era.

  28. "what would u do?" - Erm what all the other Govts did, process every application on a case-by-case basis. I don't remember this being a problem under labour (they only had a backlog of 7,000, Tory backlog is 166,000). It's not like Joe Average has a say, the Govt needs to do governmental things. wth is going on with the tories?

  30.  @רוןניצן-צ4מ  Israel's breach of Geneva convention articles: The extensive settlement expansion and evictions in occupied territory are violating Article 49's prohibition on forced population transfers. Israel has admitted to and provided rationale for punitive home demolitions, which contravene Articles 46 & 47 prohibiting collective punishment. Mistreatment and torture of Palestinian prisoners has been reported by numerous detainees over decades, indicating likely violations of Articles 13-26 on humane treatment of prisoners. The sealing and demolitions of attacker's family homes constitutes collective punishment banned under Articles 33 and 75. Import and movement restrictions imposed on Gaza at times when there has been no active armed conflict are violating the requirements to allow humanitarian access in Articles 23, 55 and 59.

  37. "River to the sea" = Jordan river to the Med. That is Palestine (the West Bank is called so, because it sits on the west bank of the said river, and Gaza is on the sea!). It's only genocidal when Israleis say it, not when Palestinians say it. Israel can stay east of the river and stop their illegal settlements.

  38.  @Frank.and.Beanzz  but the public's opinion of politicians the world over is replete with cynicism and distrust. I think the voters know, BUT, they have weak spots for immigration and a hatred of other poor people, despite being poor themselves. The best quote I've seen for this seeming contradiction is: "socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires" -John Steinbeck I think it holds true in ersatz America, aka the UK

  39. Chaps, there are plenty of nations outside the EU who are very prosperous. Let's be clear, being outside the EU is not the problem per se, the problem is hurried, rushed, botched, incompetent political actions; these are the same legislators harping on about Rwanda, who can't prevent aerated concrete from being a danger to your kids. Our PM thinks government contracts are for his daddy, and not even his biological dad!

  41. Ian, getting it wrong, as usual. The Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) prohibits the targeting of civilians and requires distinguishing between combatants and civilians in military operations. Article 51 specifically prohibits "indiscriminate attacks" and attacks that "employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective." Additional Protocol I (1977) to the Geneva Conventions explicitly prohibits "indiscriminate attacks." Article 51 defines indiscriminate attacks as those which are "not directed at a specific military objective" or "employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective." The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (1998) includes as a war crime "intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities."

  50. @GretsGarbo This is an excerpt from an Irish Times article dated 2009: "The interview was conducted in 2000 by an American academic, who released it because of a huge controversy last summer over an allegation by a Swedish newspaper that Israel was killing Palestinians in order to harvest their organs. Israel hotly denied the charge. "Parts of the interview were broadcast on Israel's Channel 2 TV over the weekend. In it, Dr Hiss said, "We started to harvest corneas ... Whatever was done was highly informal. No permission was asked from the family."" Another article, this time from The Guardian has the headline: "Doctor admits Israeli pathologists harvested organs without consent" An excerpt: "The admission, by the former head of the country's forensic institute, followed a furious row prompted by a Swedish newspaper reporting that Israel was killing Palestinians in order to use their organs – a charge that Israel denied and called "antisemitic"." Of course, the Swedes, the Irish and the British must all be "antisemitic"
