Isolated Incidents..Not a Policy of Ethnic Cleansing. The Palestinians gave the Jews Shelter and Food when they were being Persecuted in Europe..The Jews repaid them by Murdering them and Stealing their Homes -

USAID: Time To Shut It Down
Obviously it needs to be shut down. That's hardly news. The question is, how should we proceed with prosecuting those who have been laundering money through it and working against the best interests of America. -

LGB Alliance Accuses Trans Activists of Undermining Workplace DEI Policies
The LGB Alliance has claimed that corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies have been hijacked by "misogynistic" and "homophobic" trans extremists, leading to the suppression of gender-critical viewpoints in the workplace. The organisation, which represents the interests of lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals, has called for companies to restore protections for freedom of speech and conscience, arguing that current DEI initiatives are being weaponised to silence dissent. Among their chief concerns is the replacement of women's restrooms with gender-neutral facilities, enforced pronoun usage, and the alleged bullying of employees who express a belief in biological sex. Simon White, a representative of the LGB Alliance, stated that DEI policies have been "corrupted by powerful lobby groups that present the law as they’d like it to be rather than how it actually is" and that these changes have turned "workplaces into battlegrounds in the culture war." He added that internal staff networks, originally intended to support LGB employees, have been "co-opted by extremists focused on advancing a narrow, misogynistic, and homophobic interpretation of ‘trans rights’." Several high-profile incidents have drawn attention to the growing tension surrounding DEI policies. In one case, Fran Itkoff, a 90-year-old volunteer from California, was dismissed from a multiple sclerosis charity after questioning why she needed to add "she/her" pronouns to her email signature. The National MS Society stated at the time that she had been asked to leave due to statements "not aligning with our policy of inclusion." However, the backlash was so intense that the charity later apologised, calling its decision a "mistake." The LGB Alliance itself has faced significant opposition. At its annual conference last year, trans rights activists disrupted proceedings by releasing hundreds of live crickets into the auditorium. Despite such attacks, the organisation is moving forward with efforts to challenge what it sees as the overreach of DEI policies. It is launching a new business forum aimed at helping companies "re-establish fair workplace policies," encouraging executives to work with HR departments to reassess their approach. The group has also criticised major corporations such as HSBC and Linklaters for celebrating their high rankings on an equality leaderboard run by Stonewall, arguing that the charity's influence over corporate HR policies has led to problematic changes. Stonewall has faced scrutiny for advising organisations to replace the term "mother" with "parent who has given birth" to improve their ranking on its equality index. The Welsh government, which appeared high on Stonewall’s list in 2020, had already removed "mother" from its maternity policy a year earlier. This growing backlash against DEI policies is not limited to the UK. In the United States, former President Donald Trump has taken a firm stance against DEI initiatives, issuing an executive order to end what he called "radical and wasteful government DEI programmes." In the financial sector, City of London banks and investment firms have been pressuring the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to relax planned diversity regulations, citing concerns that stringent DEI requirements could slow economic growth. A recent poll conducted by JLP among 500 City executives found that one in three business leaders now believe DEI policies have gone too far. Meanwhile, the Institute & Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) recently abandoned plans to introduce its own strict diversity rules following internal pushback from members. The debate over DEI policies continues to intensify, with advocates arguing they are necessary for workplace inclusivity, while critics claim they have been misused to enforce ideological conformity. As corporations navigate this evolving landscape, the push to balance inclusivity with free expression is likely to remain a contentious issue. Based on a report by Daily Telegraph 2025-02-06
