One state? Two states? Israeli Jews aren't the ones to decide - +972 Magazine Trump’s recent remarks may have sparked a debate on the possibility of the one-state solution, but one thing is for sure: Israeli Jews are not in a position to decide the future of the occupied ...

PHRI - concern is ‘occupied territories’. B’Tselem - Orly Noy’s thinking is that Israel is a colonial apartheid state and would be okay if the West Bank became an Islamic state ref www.972mag.com/one-state-tw... They are NGOs and anti Israel policy. They forget who wants to destroy Israel.

Yes it is awful, but you miss the point of what I said. Oh Israel don’t fight back. Oh look, Israelis are wiped out. That’s what they want, as do many other factions/countries. An Iranian has a sign saying Hamas are terrorists then he gets abuse and arrested. Islamists are the enemy.

No. Remember it was the Arab states that started a war with Israel at the e beginning and did not want a separate ‘Palestine’. With some joint effort they could have had Transjordan. But no! They did not want and many still do not want Israel to exist.

That would be the Jews, would it? That’s what the you saying the ‘Israel lobby’ implies.

Many countries ‘get away with’ far worse. Look further. Israel does not have a stranglehold on the West. I think you’ll find Qatar certainly has a strong hold.

I finally saw Flow. It was as successful as expected, and actually deserved all the rewards in the world. Wholesome, tender, beautiful, and full of imagination: Everybody loved this indie animated movie in the family 👌

Thank you @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social 🙏

Says the Gazan Civil Defence agency. Whose spokesperson is a Hamas operative. Where does this agency function from? Are they organising the population to help them get the food aid? Is it Hamas who are doing some of this shooting? They are known to torture and kill their own.

Why don’t they call for Hamas to free the hostages and to give themselves up? And you? Hamas are terrorists and calling for the death of the Israeli army is calling for the death of Jews, Arabs, Druze. Israel didn’t start the war against it.

Could be Hamas doing some of this shooting.

Israel is fighting a war against Islamists. Hamas and Islamic jihad and whichever others are there. Those who all want Israel to not exist.

The brutal industrialisation of East Suffolk by this govt for Sizewell C continues. Here Eastbridge, 2 miles from the site now part of the 950 acre main construction area, shows this rural location in Suffolk's National Landscape as totally unsuitable for a project of this scale

Hamas just rejected a ceasefire. Taking hostages is a war crime. Hamas has rejected a Palestinian state since they took over Gaza in 2007 - committing war crimes. They have enriched themselves at the expense of the Gazan people. They do not want Israel to exist.

Great letter from Dr Richard Lowes, Exeter University + RegulatoryAssistance Project on the continuing insane electricity pricing conditions given the need to incentivise clean energy uptake.

Still no published plan (promised by Boris Johnson in 2022)

Quotes from Haaretz, well, they’re not that reliable. Then there’s Hamas and what those terrorists do to their own population. Never really mentioned. Hamas wants the GHF to fail. As do many others. They’ll do anything to ensure it does. Remember 7/10/2923? That was a massacre.

No he wasn’t and no they didn’t. His wife is a Jew. So what, exactly, are you saying? Hamas and Islamic Jihad slaughtered innocents in Israel.

Really? They called for people to murder their MPs. Hamas and the other jihadists/Islamists hold responsibility for what is happening in Gaza.They could have built a country. Instead they built tunnels and wealth for themselves and weapons. Intention-to destroy Israel.

Is zonal electricity pricing the future of UK energy? Flexible energy pricing could save households £200 a year by 2040, but any policy change needs to reduce risks for lower-income families

East Anglia generates huge amounts of clean power – but locals don’t see the benefit.

Outdated pricing wastes billions, while families still struggle to heat their homes.

Re: Staying Safe at the Beach - Watch the full documentary | ARTE in English When summer comes, Europeans want to cool off by taking a dip. But swimming in the sea or a lake comes with dangers which many people underestimate: Tragically 15,000 Europeans drown every year. ARTE ...

I stumbled across this Arte documentary about safety in water by chance. More than 20 years ago as a student job I worked as a lifeguard

Two things are striking
- the tech at the Spanish beach is amazing 👍
- more and more drownings each year in Europe! 😥

There is basically nothing in place
for it to be recognised as a state - agreed borders, renouncing terrorism, objective legal thresholds etc. It’s not a right - John Spencer (Urban Warfare institute).

An infographic with information on what to do if you find a baby bird. Is it visibly injured? If yes, contact an animal welfare organisation. If no: does it have feathers? If yes, it’s a fledgling. If it’s in immediate danger, move it to a sheltered spot nearby. If no, do nothing. If it doesn’t have feathers, it’s a nestling. If you can see a nest, put it back in the nest. If not, contact an animal welfare organisation.

It’s the time of year when you might find a baby bird and want to help. Most often (and slightly counterintuitively) it’s best to do nothing. Here’s a useful guide.

A color photo of a delicate and fluffy white medium-haired cat sitting on a window ledge. They are looking at the camera. What makes this photo extra special is that the cat is backlight by the sun coming through the window, the light illuminating their fluffy hair making them appear glowing and angelic.
