  1. I take it you have never been to Russia then?
  2. But probably very expensive to build (well, the spec will suggest expensive at least) so someone will be very happy to build and supply as many as they can get away with before the cracks appear in the welding and the hinges break off the doors etc.
  3. The knots you tie yourself in are truly bewildering.
  4. What has the history of US wars got to do with this? Russia invaded a sovereign country and has committed countless atrocities as it has destroyed much of the country's infrastructure. There should be no doubt that Russia as a country must pay massively in reparations for many years to come. For those who actively enabled and supported it's actions they need to face proper justice. I have a hope that once the war is over, Ukraine will establish some group similar to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and spend the next however many years hunting down and delivering justice to each and every one of those who have committed crimes in Ukraine.
  5. Now now, don't be so ageist - there is no reason that the young can't be red faced and perma-angry. ‘We feel castrated’: the young British men embracing right-wing, misogynistic politics
  6. Doing something right? That all depends on what is considered 'right'. According to the Press Gazette themselves, the awards "celebrate publishers that are successfully experimenting with new technology to grow their audience, who have produced astonishing interactive storytelling, wowed new audiences with beautiful video, carved out a sustainable future by winning new subscribers and delighted our eardrums with perfectly produced podcasts "As well as the content itself, their judging criteria included looking at design, usability, and evidence of commercial and audience success." So successfully appealing to their target market, the red faced perma-angry with a broad streak of jingoism running through them, is enough to win an award.
  7. That's her and her employer's entire business model. Whining and whinging about a contrived notion of 'wokeness' sells papers and clicks to the perma-angry.
  8. So the question of funding is unclear. For an organisation that claims to try to provide accuracy in the fog of news, they should maybe consider their own transparency, or lack thereof.
  9. Your faith in Israeli justice is touching but somewhat naive. Watchdog: Under 1% of Israel Army Probes Yield Prosecution Between 2017 and 2021, the Israeli military received 1,260 cases of alleged offenses by Israeli soldiers against Palestinians, including 409 cases involving the killing of Palestinians, according to military data obtained by the group Yesh Din and released Wednesday after a freedom of information request. The Israeli military opened 248 criminal investigations into instances of possible misconduct in response to those complaints — just 21.4% of the total, Yesh Din said. Only 11 investigations during that five-year period have yielded indictments. In those cases, Israel’s military prosecutors acted with leniency toward convicted soldiers, the group added, with those sentenced for killing Palestinians serving only short-term military community service.
  10. Here are the sources I provided, every one of which you claim not to be "reliable, unbiased or reputable": Human Rights Watch Oxfam Al Jazeera CNN Reuters The Guardian The Washington Post No wonder the world is so messed up and thinking so poisoned when people like you dismiss these organisations so nonchalantly. They don't fit your preferred narrative so you smear them - sounds very much like the behaviour of a small middle eastern country that doesn't take well to criticism.
  11. Will this woke lefty assaults on good, traditional English values never end? It wasn't like this in Sunak's day. What's wrong with bread and dripping anyway? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14086091/amp/gen-z-waging-war-sandwiches-ditching-classic-flavours.html
  12. I will ask you again, who is CameraOrgUk and who funds them? Where are the facts in the sky news article about the Dr's death? Can you highlight them please?
  13. Israel denies any illegal activities of its military so case closed? Ok
  14. Have you checked the credibility of your twitter account? Who is CameraOrgUK and who is funding then? Here is the sky news article that Albanese was referring to. "When war in Gaza erupted last year, Dr Adnan Al-Bursh worked around the clock while documenting the horror unfolding around him. Then he was detained. Now, Sky News has spoken to people who claim to have witnessed the circumstances leading to his death. "[The director] told us that the [Israeli army] have full data of all males aged between 14 and 65 at Awda hospital," Dr Obeid said, tearfully. "They told him that if all men do not come down… they will destroy the Awda Hospital with all the women and children in it." "In a brief statement, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) confirmed to Sky News that Dr Al-Bursh was detained by its personnel. On 19 December 2023, it says the surgeon was taken to an Israeli military base called Sde Teiman, which has been used for processing detainees since the early part of the war. "When he collected him, his fellow doctor said he had been badly beaten and felt pain all over his body. "He thought he may have broken ribs," Dr Hamouda said. "He was unable to even go to the toilet alone." "in April, the surgeon was taken to an incarceration facility near Jerusalem called Ofer Prison. He died shortly after his arrival. News of the surgeon's death was announced in a statement from two Palestinian prisoner support associations at the beginning of May. The Israelis offered no explanation or cause of death. "In mid-April 2024, Dr Adnan Al-Bursh arrived at Section 23 in Ofer Prison. The prison guards brought Dr Adnan Al-Bursh into the section in a deplorable state. He had clearly been assaulted with injuries around his body. He was naked in the lower part of his body. "The prison guards threw him in the middle of the yard and left him there. Dr Adnan Al-Bursh was unable to stand up. One of the prisoners helped him and accompanied him to one of the rooms. A few minutes later, prisoners were heard screaming from the room they went into, declaring Dr Adnan Al-Bursh (was dead)."
  15. Torture, rape, abuse: New Palestinian testimonies reveal horrors of Israel's prisons Francesca Albanese alleges Palestinian doctor 'likely raped to death' in Israeli detention Israeli lawmaker defends alleged rape of Hamas prisoner as far-right protesters rage over IDF troops' detention West Bank strike: Israel accused of targeting civilians in deadly attack Israeli military accused of targeting journalists and their families in Gaza Israeli tanks have deliberately run over dozens of Palestinian civilians alive
  16. I am not sure that I would trust Donny Jr's take on geopolitics. Granted, he is quite probably an expert on Colombian affairs but I am doubtful that his knowledge of extends much wider.
  17. Well done - you must be proud of yourself. “Israeli security forces are not just unlawfully killing Palestinians in Gaza, but have been killing Palestinians without a legal basis in the West Bank, including deliberately executing Palestinians who posed no apparent threat,” said Richard Weir, senior crisis and conflict researcher at Human Rights Watch. https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/05/08/west-bank-israeli-forces-unlawful-killings-palestinians More women and children have been killed in Gaza by the Israeli military over the past year than the equivalent period of any other conflict over the past two decades, new Oxfam analysis has found. https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/more-women-and-children-killed-gaza-israeli-military-any-other-recent-conflict Israeli soldiers shot dead two unarmed Palestinian men in Gaza, their bodies buried in sand and rubbish by an army bulldozer, exclusive broadcast footage obtained by Al Jazeera has shown. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/3/28/israeli-soldiers-shoot-dead-two-unarmed-palestinian-men-in-gaza-video More than 100 people were killed amid devastating scenes in northern Gaza, where Israeli troops opened fire Thursday, triggering panic as hungry Palestinian civilians were gathering around food aid trucks, Palestinian officials and eyewitnesses said. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/02/29/middleeast/gaza-city-deaths-food-israel-intl Palestinian health authorities say Israel's ground and air campaign in Gaza has killed more than 38,000 people, mostly civilians, and driven most of the enclave's 2.3 million people from their homes. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/gaza-death-toll-how-many-palestinians-has-israels-campaign-killed-2024-05-14/ Israeli soldiers tell of indiscriminate killings by army and a culture of impunity https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2005/sep/06/israel Israeli security forces in an armored vehicle fired repeatedly into a group of civilians sheltering between a mosque and a clinic after a Feb. 22 raid in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, killing two people, including a teenager, and wounding three others, according to witnesses and a visual reconstruction of the event by The Washington Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2023/palestine-shooting-nablus-videos/ That's just the first page of Google news - there are many more with reports of other Israeli atrocities but I suspect that you aren't really concerned.
  18. Are you serious? Are you so ignorant or are you wilfully in denial? I am not your research service - if you are genuinely unaware of the decades of IDF murder and abuse in general, and if you think that they have been the epitome of restraint and honour over the past year then you are certainly not going to believe me so why bother trying to educate you?
  19. Your opinion goes somewhat against documented fact.
  20. People who glorify the horrific attacks of 7th October 2023 need to feel the full weight of the law upon them. But likewise, those who condone or enable Israel's relentless slaughter of innocent men, women and children need to also be punished to the fullest extent. But we all know that that wont happen. Israeli soldiers will continue to rape and murder in the thousands and the West will still turn a blind eye.
  21. If you think that the far right thugs who brought misery and destruction to many areas of England as, night after night, they destroyed private property, closed businesses permanently and stole at will is somehow less serious than JSO then I suggest you reflect upon your sense of decency and integrity. I think they are both seriously skewed. You name it whatever makes you happy, I couldn't care less. As for off topic, it's entirely on topic when the latest on-cue whine for the perma angry is 2 tier justice.
  22. The average sentence for the rioting by far right thugs who brought chaos to England, looting shops and destroying livelihoods, seems to be 2 years. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm23y7l01v8o Is this another example of 2 tier justice that you are proposing?
  23. To use the example to which I was replying, why should respect only be offered to women who have 'approved' hairstyles or provide sex on demand? That sounds like a very Fahrenheit 451 world to me. I guess the way the right wants to ban certain books, maybe that is where we are headed.
  24. Whatever the EU model of governance is, it is most definitely not communism in any way shape or form.
  25. I would hazard a guess that there is a significant gulf between what you think is communism and what communism actually is. If you look to Europe and see communism, then all the money spent by Trump's backers to brainwash you has been money very well spent.
