The (Turkish) barber is a phenomenon in New Zealand too.

I put it down to business immigration visas.

Cheap business to buy/setup. Get
In on a business visa. Easy then to sell on to the next chap

Entirely misses the point that it's a death penalty that only applies to one ethnicity, the Palestinians, a people who are illegally occupied, living under military rule and subject to dispossession, constant violence and ethnic cleansing

🇷🇺 The Russian nuclear icebreaker Ural is 173 meters long; it can travel at 2 knots on ice up to 3 meters thick; and it has an endurance of up to 7 years (fuel refuelling) / 6 months (provisions)📷

Before the war:
1) Iran didn't control the Strait Of Hormuz, now it does
2) Iran oil was sanctioned, now it's not
3) Iran was not building a nuke, now it will
4) US bases in the Gulf were assets, now liabilities
5) Inflation was declining, now increasing

Definitely winning!

Rather than being stuck in continuous 'trial mode', we should be expanding our passenger rail services in the Golden Triangle. Sign if you agree! https://t.co/JumiC1prb8

Cutting like a hot knife through butter. The game is up for those who do the bidding for Netanyahu and co every day in the British media, British politics & here on X. https://t.co/zb8YHyi9Co

Luxon: You shouldn’t have to pay…
Willis: Everybody pays!

How are they so bad at this?

[Jasmine El-Gamal @jasmineelgamal]

Reminder: Netanyahu has consistently said he would go back into Gaza after a temporary ceasefire brought the hostages home.

His refusal to end the war permanently has been the sticking point in negotiations since day one.

But of course AIPAC knows this. Lying is just easier.

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

As world reaction to the outrage in Gaza intensifies 🇮🇱 is claiming that it’s adjusting its policies. But it’s not the details in the policies that’s the question - it’s the fundamentals since breaking the agreed ceasefire.

[Gérard Araud @GerardAraud]

It is a blatant lie. Israel decided not to implement an agreement it had signed a few weeks ago.

No @BBCNews - it is not an impasse. Israel and US have violated the deal by trying to change what was agreed
