I would prefer to see my country (UK) sit on the sidelines.

Would you call the buried ambulance fiasco an atrocity? would you condemn it? Do you think there is something wrong with the culture in the IDF that this can happen? Antisemitism is more and more related to Israel's actions. It is completely wrong, but nevertheless Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank IS fueling antisemitism. Do you think Jews outside Israel siding with Israel and denying atrocities makes it worse or better?

There will be riots if Starmer brings the UK into this illegal war.

We went on a Saturday evening last December, about 6pm. We couldn’t order milkshakes because they had already cleaned the milkshake machine. The restaurant was very quiet. My thoughts were, at that location it’s going to be students from Payap (it’s literally surrounded by dormitories) and therefore the prices have to be lower and go for high volume. Alternatively, it needs to be in town. The restaurant was only serving 2 tables at prime time Saturday evening. I’m not surprised it’s closing.

Knowingly committing illegal acts in the knowledge of an expected pardon should be grounds for it being considered outside the bounds of a pardon.

It's fairly clear Trump has no respect for congress, and he makes decisions that he knows are a fait-accompli and it's then too late for congress to reverse them. E.g. how do you reverse the Iran war? You mention Regime Change. It's illegal to have that as an aim and justification for an attack. AI says this Under international law, attacking another country with the explicit goal of regime change is illegal unless authorized by the UN Security Council or justified under narrow self-defense provisions. The UN Charter prohibits the use of force to interfere in another state’s sovereignty, and regime change is not recognized as a lawful justification.

I'm not from our former colonies, but there is something I don't understand. I thought I understood MAGA, I thought it was about not wasting money or resources on other countries. About making sure any money spent outside the country was profitable and gave a return on investment. About American lives not being wasted on wars where there was no financial benefit and especially forever wars. It also seems to be a bit about White American Christian Superiority. What I don't understand is why MAGA people support Israel. Israel is a financial drain, billions of dollars spent there every year but not buy anything, it's just given away, free, gratis, with nothing back in return, ever! And now a war with no benefit to America, your president can't even articulate why it's good for America, you just support another country with zero return on investment. It isn't MAGA, it's MAPA (makes America poorer again). And it's not as if it's people fit the mold of White American Christians. So MAGA people, why do you support this MAPA activity when it's the polar opposite of MAGA?

You have left and right on the brain, you should see someone about that

Trump listened to Jared who was doing Bibi’s bidding.

I’ll get right on that for you.

It’s considered correct formal address to refer to women as Ms. rather than Miss or Mrs.

Clearly, you don’t.

Here is the Balfour Declaration, I have bolded the relevant part. His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.

We went on Saturday evening at 6 PM and the place was practically deserted. We couldn’t order a milkshake because they said they’d already cleaned the milkshake machine.
