Oxford Union Faces Anti-Terror Probe Into Israel Debate
There were different levels of rule-breaking: 1) Miko Peled, one of the speakers in favor of the anti-Israel proposition, said the Oct. 7 attacks were "not terrorism" but "acts of heroism." The exact quote was "What happened on October 7th was not terrorism – these were acts of heroism of a people who were oppressed." https://x.com/daverich1/status/1862451758317899869 "Expressing support for a proscribed organisation is illegal under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000." and that has resulted in an investigation by counter-terror police. A statement from the relevant police unit said, "Counter Terrorism Policing South East is aware of reports of a person expressing support for a proscribed organisation, namely Hamas, at the Oxford Union on Thursday 28 November and enquiries are ongoing." https://www.thisisoxfordshire.co.uk/news/24782650.counter-terrorism-probe-following-debate-oxford-union/ 2) The catcalls from the audience and inflamed rhetoric of the anti-Israel speakers were so intensely antisemitic they may have violated U.K. hate speech laws. Take a look at the video recordings of the debate. The official versions posted by Oxford Union are here: https://www.youtube.com/@OxfordUnion Please note that Oxford Union censored the recording of Jonathan Sacerdoti's speech in defense of Israel by to remove heckling by audience members when disrupting his presentation. The uncensored version can be seen here: Moreover, the Oxford Union didn't post the speech by Miko Peled, most likely due to the possible violation of the Terrorism Act 2000. It also held back the pro-Israel speech by Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a co-founder of Hamas. Because Mosab became an anti-terrorist supporter of Israel and converted to Christianity, Hamas supporters always seek to deny him a platform to express his ideas. He was ordered out of the debate for no good reason. The Oxford Union may be trying to conceal one incident during his speech. Mosab asked audience members if they had had knowledge in advance of the Oct. 7 attacks, would they have notified te Israeli authorities. Only about 25% of the audience indicated by a show of hands they would. That proves conclusively 75% of the audience members were pro-Hamas and not just pro-Palestine. Otherwise, they wouldn't have wished the deaths of so many people, both Israelis and non-Israelis. That is also roughly the same margin (21%) of audience members who voted against the proposition that Israel is an apartheid state committing genocide (278 votes in favor, 59 against). You can hear an audio recording of his speech here: https://youtu.be/sGGyltraWBg?si=o7Y0QpXI8Fj-BYwc 3) The Oxford Union Society has rules governing conduct during its Thursday formal debates. The pro-Israel speakers were interrupted, shouted down, insulted and booed throughout the debate, which was a clear violation of Oxford Union rules. I'll put all the boring details and links at the end of this post for those who want them. Previous posts in this thread have shown the abuse of the pro-Israel speakers, so I won't repeat those links either. The behavior of the anti-Israel speakers and the members of the audience spit on the Oxford Union's historical dedidcation to freedom of speech and the exchange of ideas. 4) The President of the Oxford Union is supposed to function as a neutral "chairman," i.e. moderator, during debates. His job is to ensure speakers and audience members follow the rules and admonish those who don't. Incredibly, the current President, Ebrahim Osman-Mowafy, was one of the four anti-Israel speakers but didn't relinquish his role as debate chairman. That's against not only Oxford Union rules but also the entire concept of fair debate. It's analogous to someone acting as both prosecutor and judge at a court trial. It simply isn't done and it's close to unbelievable a venerable organization like the Oxford Union would allow it to happen. Mowafy exhibited clear bias against the pro-Israel speakers and did nothing to halt the attempts of intimidation against them. . https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-oxford-union-has-disgraced-itself/ The details for: 3) The relevant section (RULE 71: DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE (a) Disciplinary Offences) forbids members or guests to "(A) Act violently or in a manner that is liable to distress, grossly offend, or intimidate others." Paragraphs (B) forbids "harassment, bullying, or victimisation," while (C) forbids "a harmful course of conduct motivated by discrimination."

UFO's and the Media Blackout
It's obvious that computers will become sentient far beyond human ability. If it's happening here it will happen elsewhere. Any alien visitors will be computers, not beings. That's why we haven't been contacted. Their computers are waiting for our computers. They don't want to talk to the meat. -

Crash Claims Two Lives: Car Driver Falls Asleep and Collides with Motorcycle
Picture from responders. A couple lost their lives when a car veered off course after the driver reportedly fell asleep at the wheel. The collision occurred on the Amphawa-Bang Nok Kwaek Road in Bang Khonthi District, Samut Songkhram. The victims were a husband and wife traveling on a motorcycle, leaving behind two orphaned sons. Police Lieutenant Pissin Nuphinit of Bang Khonthi Police Station, along with rescue teams and medical professionals, rushed to the scene upon being alerted, early afternoon on December 12. The crash involved three vehicles: a Honda Wave motorcycle, a Mazda pickup truck parked by the roadside, and a Toyota Yaris that ended up in a canal. The deceased were identified as Mr. Kusol Chongkonrod, 53, and his wife, Ms. Wilaiwan Kongnuch, 35. Kusol sustained severe injuries, including a head wound and a torn abdomen, while Wilaiwan had multiple fractures, abrasions, and a broken neck after being flung into the parked truck. The driver of the Toyota Yaris, Ms. Warisara, 40, survived but was in shock and repeatedly said, “I didn’t mean to.” She was taken to Naphalai Hospital with chest injuries. Ms. Ektida Chanpipop, a vendor near the scene, recounted hearing a loud crash. She turned to see the motorcycle occupants being hurled into the parked truck. Shortly afterward, the Yaris plunged into the nearby canal. The driver admitted to having dozed off briefly, losing control of the car and colliding head-on with the motorcycle. Kusol and Wilaiwan were returning home after buying groceries to prepare dinner for Wilaiwan’s bedridden grandmother and their two sons. The couple had been the primary caregivers for the elderly woman and their children. Authorities have sent the victims’ bodies for autopsy at Ratchaburi Hospital while further investigations continue. -- 2024-12-13 -
