Many, many jewish people around the world, such as myself, are appalled by what is being done by Israel.

The equation of anti Semitism with anti Zionism is, in itself, anti Semitism.

If protests were not effective they would not be banned.

You're right of course, it's heartening that they are having a crack. They had better look out though because if they appear to be successful in any way we will probably spy on them.

Henry Kissinger died of old age peacefully at home.

Robert McNamara is almost unknown.

Richard Nixon has been forgotten.

There were plenty of laws that could have been used in these cases but they never were.

I'm afraid that although I admire their pluck I hold out very little hope that these austere legal processes will result in anything much.

Even just looking post WW2 the worst crimes against humanity have not even been widely recognised let alone have the perpetrators been brought to justice.

Yes folks, it's BOGOF time.

Buy one genocidal war criminal and get one for free.

The Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has said Herzog’s visit was intended to foster “a greater sense of unity”.

How's that working out for you now Anthony?

Yes but there's a question of 'whole of head structure' to consider.

Given that the brainal area is somewhat, shall we say, underwhelming, we are left then with a vacuous and very flimsy shell.

They may have to freeze him ahead of schedule.

Indonesians wrongly deemed adult people smugglers by Australian police finally cleared to appeal convictions Errors led to boys aged as young as 13 going to adult maximum-security jails in WA. Now the attorney general has intervened in two cases

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This shameful episode is a part of an ongoing shameful scheme where the poorest and least powerful are sacrificed for political power with the perpetrators never having to face any consequences whatsoever.

In completely unrelated news Anthony is in Indonesia.

Pigs, when given the opportunity, are clean and keen to live peaceably with each other.

Politicians have none of these attributes.

I particularly like your conclusion that pigs are pretty decent people.

I kept pigs for years and they're good to work with except when they get in the garden.

I have just suffered the disturbing experience of walking through a room with Christopher Pine on the TV.

Fortunately the sound was off but I had, very reasonably, assumed that he had slithered up his own arse and disappeared, I am still in shock.

Defense minister turned lobbyist.

What a bastard.

We have voluntarily become captives of extremists who are, as ever, the enemies of free speech and any ideas they don't understand.

If ideas and opinions were not so dangerous fundamentalists would not go to such great lengths to suppress them.

I had thought that his only skill was to choose his parents very carefully but it turns out he has made some irrefutable arguments against hereditary power.

Using interest rates to control inflation is like trying to fill a hot air balloon by farting.

It's not inflation it's 'overemployment' and rate rises strengthen the bargaining power of employers.

Capitalism needs high unemployment and governments outsource this to avoid accepting responsibility
