The Great Israeli Real Estate Event is scheduled to be held in London this Sunday, but its location is being kept secret. Andy McDonald, an MP for Middlesbrough and Thornaby East, published the statement on X on Friday, urging the UK government to prevent the Great Israeli Real Estate Event from taking place. "The govt has an opportunity to uphold obligations under international law and take action against Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine," McDonald wrote. The letter, sent to Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, described the event as "firmly embedded in Israel's project of colonial expansion" as it facilitates the sale of land seized from displaced Palestinians.Sun, 14 Jun 2026 04:41:43 +0000My information says not an easy path anymore and also need for private health insurance for five years and also it is not tax friendly So Colombia is off my list.

Note that the UK guarantees trials by judge and jury. By withholding from the jury information to be used in sentencing, the judge has made a crucial legal error.] Palestine Action activists sentenced as terrorists The ruling marks the first time in UK legal history that protesters convicted of criminal damage face a 'terrorism connection' upon sentencing Katherine Hearst Middle East Eye: 12 Jun 2026 A British judge has sentenced four Palestine Action protesters as terrorists, handing them custodial sentences ranging from four to eight years. The unprecedented ruling came despite jurors convicting them of criminal charges not connected to terrorism during the prosecution. Last month, jurors convicted Leona Kamio, Samuel Corner, Fatema Rajwani, and Charlotte Head of criminal damage in connection with a raid on an Elbit Systems UK plant near Bristol on 6 August 2024. Two other activists, Jordan Devlin and Zoe Rogers, were cleared of the charges. Elbit Systems is an Israeli arms manufacturer whose UK headquarters are based in Bristol. On Friday, the presiding judge, Justice Jeremy Johnson, added a “terrorism connection” to their offences. In a preliminary ruling in March 2025, Johnson found an "appearance" of a terrorism connection in the case, as he said the activists were attempting to influence the Israeli government by restricting their access to weapons. This information was withheld from the jury who convicted them. This marks the first time in British legal history that the designation has been applied to direct action protesters who were not convicted of terrorist offences or of causing intentional violence. As she was led out, Kamio quoted a line from Palestinian poet Marwan Makhoul: "To hear the birds, the drones must be silent."Sun, 14 Jun 2026 04:37:27 +0000Abridged from source. URL for original in title. [Opinion. And so many fall for this propaganda…] Israel’s curriculum for ‘influencing public consciousness’ A leaked Defense Ministry tender lays out the army’s training program for manipulating public opinion in Israel and abroad. Illy Pe’ery +972 Mag: 04 Jun 2026 Israel’s defense establishment is training soldiers and other defense officials to conduct psychological operations designed to “influence public consciousness” in Israel and abroad, an internal Defense Ministry tender published last July. Among the offerings are courses on how to use data to discretely shape the attitudes and actions of target audiences, intelligence gathering for such operations, and influencer training. Most of the courses are geared toward “offensive” influence operations — those aimed at actively disrupting or manipulating the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of target audiences. In one course, participants learn to apply “Black Hat” techniques — a term used to describe manipulation methods that circumvent tech platforms’ rules around cybercrime, cyber warfare, or other malicious activity. The army course explicitly states that this module is designed for “the distribution and promotion of illegitimate content using technological tools and solutions — a route that bypasses Facebook and Google.” The curriculum is divided into thematic clusters. One, titled “fundamentals of psychological warfare, propaganda, deception, legitimacy and public diplomacy, and segmentation of target populations with emphasis on foreign audiences,” includes instruction on identifying adversarial influence efforts, narratives, and imagery, as well as deepfakes, psychological warfare, propaganda, deception, legitimacy, and public diplomacy. However, as a recent investigation by The Hottest Place in Hell revealed, the military does not limit these methods to the realm of “personal enrichment.” Between October 2023 and December 2024, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit conducted a psychological operation targeting both Israeli and international audiences, under the guise of a “non-profit news organization” specializing in “fact-checking” claims surrounding Israel’s war on Gaza.Sun, 14 Jun 2026 04:34:26 +0000You need to write your memoirs.

According to a report citing multiple intelligence sources, Iranian authorities planted explosives at tunnel entrances and deliberately collapsed access routes to an underground nuclear complex near Isfahan. The move is said to have been triggered by fears that the US could launch a ground operation to seize the material. Cache Holds More Than Half Of Iran's Enriched UraniumThe tunnel network is believed to contain around 440 pounds of uranium enriched to 60% purity — a level just short of weapons-grade material. The cache reportedly represents more than half of Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium and is located at one of the few major nuclear sites to survive last year's 12-day conflict with Israel. Officials believe Iran has spent recent weeks blocking access to parts of the facility, making any future recovery effort significantly more difficult. Deal Faces Immediate Practical ProblemsThe reported mining of the tunnels could complicate a key requirement of the proposed US-Iran agreement. Under the deal, Tehran would be expected to surrender its enriched uranium stockpile for destruction and removal from the country. However, experts warn that damaged and mined tunnels could make it difficult to verify exactly how much material remains accessible. Former US nuclear security official Scott Roecker warned that Iran could later claim some of the uranium was impossible to recover. "I would worry that Iran would claim that some portion of the highly enriched uranium was irretrievable," he said. Such a scenario could leave international inspectors unable to confirm whether all nuclear material had been accounted for. Trump Says Deal Could Be Signed Within HoursThe report emerged as President Donald Trump declared that a nuclear agreement with Iran could be signed on Sunday. Writing on social media, Trump described the proposed accord as "a wall to no nuclear weapon" and contrasted it with the Obama-era nuclear deal, which he has repeatedly criticised. Trump insisted no US money would be handed to Iran and said sanctions relief would only follow Iranian compliance. He also claimed the agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and eventually allow the United States to recover and destroy remaining nuclear material buried beneath damaged facilities. Tehran Faces Stark ChoiceThe latest revelations suggest Iran may be attempting to preserve leverage even while moving toward a diplomatic settlement. If the tunnels remain blocked and mined, inspectors could face months of work before they can verify the contents of the underground stockpile. That leaves a central question hanging over any deal: whether Iran is genuinely preparing to surrender its nuclear material — or merely making it harder to prove what remains hidden underground.

However, because electric motors are incredibly efficient, an EV only requires about one-third the energy of a gas car to travel the same distance. The Energy Comparison at a Glance Energy Density: One gallon of gasoline contains about 33.7 kWh of energy and weighs around 6 pounds. In contrast, a typical EV battery (e.g., 75 kWh) can weigh over 1,000 lbs. The "Equivalent" Tank: A standard 15-gallon gas tank holds over 500 kWh of raw energy. To match this, an EV battery would be prohibitively heavy and enormous. Real-World Range: Despite gas having far more energy, the superior efficiency of an EV means that a much smaller amount of stored energy goes much further on the road. Why EVs Go Further with Less Energy Engine Efficiency: Gasoline engines waste about 70–80% of their energy as heat and friction, leaving only 20–30% to move the car. Electric motors are highly efficient, converting 85–90% of battery energy directly into motion. Regenerative Braking: EVs can recover kinetic energy and route it back to the battery when slowing down, whereas gas cars lose this energy as heat through brake pads. Why Gas Still Feels "Bigger" Refueling Speed: Filling a 15-gallon gas tank injects massive amounts of energy in about 3 minutes. Fast-charging an EV to get a similar usable driving range takes 20 to 40 minutes. Energy Draw: Because EVs are so efficient, they feel the immediate impact of auxiliary power (like running the heater or AC) on the total vehicle range.Sun, 14 Jun 2026 04:24:32 +0000Just to show how confusing this so called 'combination' is, a reply on another forum completely contradicts your explanation above and neither explanation agree with the sketchy information given on the sheet issued by Pattaya Immigration at the Information Desk. .
