We have one too for my mum. Our carer who comes and helps her shower likes doing it a lot, so on Mon/Wed/Fri we leave it to her. But we've got the numbers at the top not the bottom :)

Do you have a son in the IDF? You might be the parents of a war criminal | Opinion ***

Where is the military advocate general? The IDF chief of staff? The attorney general? The leader of the opposition in the Knesset? The speaker of the Knesset? The president? Quiet. We are massacring.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41.

Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

A grim poll shows most Jewish Israelis support expelling Gazans. It's brutal โ€“ and true ***

What happens when children are taught to hate? Excellent article, read the comments too - "A new survey showing that 82 percent of Jewish Israelis support the expulsion of Gazans was met with disbelief among those who stubbornly believe that extremists are outliers."

I said what I said. And Iโ€™m sorry... sort of OPINION: Choreographed fragility and weaponised offence from female MPs over my use of a rude word has served as a distraction from their own actions.

Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump's trip Trump has effectively given Netanyahu a green light to do as he sees fit, Israeli officials say.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride.

If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.
