On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours: β€œOn 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists. Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.” It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

This cost them about $1 trillion. The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people. And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.

Insane framing. He was anally gang-raped. He was severely beaten and then anally gang-raped on camera. Both a knife and a taser were reportedly used. There was a hole in his rectal wall. He got surgery for it. Because he was anally gang-raped by the IDF (on camera). He also had 7 broken ribs and other injuries as well. After it happened, Israelis staged multiple large protests in the streets. Not because they believe these soldiers did anything wrong, but because they were infuriated that the soldiers were arrested for anally gang-raping a Palestinian on camera. These protests weren’t just random people. They included multiple high ranking Knesset members (their Congress) who defended the anal gang/rapists. They didn’t stop there. They went after the lawyer who leaked the video. She was publicly smeared, was forced to resign, and was arrested. And now the anal gang-rapists who were caught on camera have had their charges dropped. They didn’t win in court. They weren’t somehow exonerated. The charges were completely and indefensibly dropped. The Jerusalem Post reports that there was sufficient evidence to take this to trial. This is part of a larger pattern of torture and impunity. NYT and many other major outlets have extensively detailed the abuses at the Sde Teiman torture factory. NYT reported that Prisoners lose 30+ pounds, a nurse was anally raped by a metal rod, another man was raped by a dog, and another was anally raped by a fiery hit rod until he died. Yes, the NYT reported all of that. I’ll share sources in the replies. Torture and sexual assault are commonplace at Sde Teiman, and many prisoners die in the process. The UN concluded that rape from IDF soldiers is so commonplace that it constitutes official β€œstrategy of war”. And of course these monsters virtually never face jail time. Because Israelis by and large don’t have any problem with any of it. This is just what their society does. They torture Palestinians.

Sweet Summer Child, the Bible lists at least FORTY-TWO different things as an "abomination" (ΧͺΦΌΧ•ΦΉΧ’Φ΅Χ‘Φ·Χ”). That isn't a rarity; it's one of the most common words the Bible uses for anything that is taboo. The 42+ include: β€” Businessmen who lie β€” Using faulty weights/measures β€” Divorce β€” Breaking Fri/Saturday Sabbath β€” Arrogance Oh, it also lists "those who bring false witness or stir up conflict in a community" as an abomination, like you are here. That, along with your arrogance and (I presume) your lack of keeping the Sabbath each Fri/Sat, YOU ARE AN ABOMINATION THRICE OVER. So you might as well go ahead and have sex with that dude.

Half the planet had cities, laws, trade networks, science, and philosophy long before European colonialism, and many of them were set back by it But let’s actually go through a little bit of what European colonialism brought Below is Algerian skulls collection in France
This would be half the planet right now if not for European colonialism.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Those are not Algerian skulls in France, it's a war ossuary in Italy share.google/O4r0mzDVrXyyZw…

If you hold a placard saying you support Palestine Action, you get nicked. If you hold a banner saying 'Kill 'Em All' outside a hotel housing asylum seekers, the police look the other way.
