@tomselliott @Kathleen_Tyson_ Sounds like the ideal hangout for a Bond villain.

@RonniSalt @cheryl_kernot @GregWithers3 @iamthenas @BevFloyd10 During a visit to Israel in 1971, Bob Hawke arranged for his daughter to work on a kibbutz.

US Treasury seizing Iran's crypto destroyed the only use case for crypto

Few understand this

I had 20 patients in my Pediatric War Injuries Clinic today, for follow-up care.

Of the 20 children, Israel had killed one or both parents of 19 of them.

Think this one through. Beautiful olive trees that grow and mature and serve as the livelihoods of families. People who think they are righteous and devoted to an all-seeing god, burn them down. And it happens again and again and again.

In a rare moment of justice at the UN General Assembly today, Germany lost its bid for a UN Security Council seat. Germany’s scandalous support for genocide in Palestine and aggression against Iran, and its repression of human rights defenders inside Germany, were all on display as the body handed Germany this unprecedented loss. Even former German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who presided over the election as current UNGA President, could not save Germany from this well-deserved humiliation. Germany’s money can no longer erase its responsibility for genocides in Namibia, Europe, and Palestine.

I can't believe my ears, what I heard from Mrs. Ivanka Trump. Since when did islands and lands in Albania become private so they can buy them like toys? No, darling, these are the lands of the people who gave their lives to protect them.

One of the three main agreements contained in the 1981 Algiers Accord, which led to the release of American hostages from Iran, was that the United States would never again intervene politically or militarily in Iranian internal affairs.
There is a reason they don't trust us.

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Israel has destroyed nearly 62,000 Lebanese homes, almost 700 every day for 90 days.

These are war crimes under international law: Wanton devastation not justified by military necessity.

I find the concept of “overcapacity” ridiculous. Does Germany have an overcapacity in cars? France one in wine? Sweden in heavy trucks? Italy in fashion? And don’t tell me that European food exports aren’t subsidized. https://t.co/Bl2yiF8hdg

@imetatronink Stand by for a belated announcement of more ‘training accidents’.

@Baumann_Mac @DrDemography Was a time in the 1970s when the Dick Smith vans in Sydney carried a big sign ‘The Electronic Dick’. About the same time that ‘Kit’, a scantily-clad female cartoon character in a local electronics magazine advised readers to ‘keep your iron hot’. Different days indeed.

@imetatronink Fosse is interesting. His career spanned from the golden years of post-war Hollywood musicals through to Cabaret and the Little Prince in the 1970s, and his style remains very influential.

@SeaniDeRoiste @imetatronink Read the book.

@imetatronink As if CENTCOM knows what the intended targets actually were.

[David Menere @DavidMenere]

@noatishby … and that’s supposed to excuse Israel’s slaughter of thousands of Palestinians? Your rationalisation of Israel’s genocidal behaviour is sounding increasingly desperate.

[David Menere @DavidMenere]

@jackmirkinson @TrackAIPAC I guess that’s why everyone left their Israeli flags at home.

@ElizabethKamel Definitely take him. IKEA is full of stuff you didn’t know you needed. Just allow plenty of time.

@OsherFeldman @AngusTaylorMP ‘Straight for the jugular’?
More like Keating’s words, ‘being savaged by a dead sheep’.
