Israel’s settlers seize their chance to snatch land in West Bank

[UN Human Rights Palestine @OHCHR_Palestine]

Israel must immediately repeal the discriminatory death penalty law passed today by the Knesset, as it contravenes Israel’s obligations under international law.
The United Nations opposes the death penalty under all circumstances. The implementation of this new law would violate international law's prohibition of cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment.
Additionally, this law further entrenches Israel’s violation of the prohibition of racial segregation and apartheid as it will exclusively apply to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Israel, who are often convicted after unfair trials.

UK to suffer biggest G20 hit from Iran war, OECD warns

On one day Trump explains that he will assassinate whoever is Khamenei’s successor. On the next, he demands in all seriousness that he be allowed to nominate that lucky gentleman. Meanwhile, having blown up a school by accident - he comes up with a cunning plan: palm the blame off on Iran. Except he accuses them of doing it with Tomahawk missiles unaware that Iran doesn’t own and can’t fire any, whereas Tomahawks are *facepalm* signature U.S. munitions. Aren’t we all blessed to live in a time of such intellectual giants.
