@Feargal_Sharkey The fine is ridiculous in magnitude and in target: ultimately the customers themselves!
Fines and jail terms for individual current and past directors would start to concentrate minds. But fining customers will change nothing.

[Garth Drury @GarthLyon]

@Feargal_Sharkey Agreed. Investors took the risk and the premiums that went with it for years. Now the risk has arisen, because they set ExCo bonuses on profit not on CapEx: now they swallow the medicine. That’s the deal, that’s their ecosystem.

Thomas Massie confirms Israel dropped NAPALM on the USS Liberty.

34 men were burned alive, skin peeling off, by ISRAEL!

@OsherFeldman “Ally” for what? For Intel on risks it has itself created for other countries?

Stop the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ taking place in London on 14 June. Palestinian land is not for sale. Such sales are illegal & unethical. This event should not be allowed to go ahead

[Garth Drury @GarthLyon]

@HatsOffff @yvonneridley The German government missed the message of its guilt at Nuremberg I (1945-6). It wasn’t: “Suppress free speech on its supply of arms to Israel unconditionally to execute a genocide (giving it a pass on G. Convention, 1948)”. It was: “Don’t aid & abet another genocide to anyone”.

One day, the perpetrators will claim “they were only following orders”.

@robinmonotti Oh dear. Did you do Art & Crafts instead of Geography at school?

Systematic violence and human rights violations are not exceptions to Israel's apartheid regime and occupation, they are integral to it. Israel is using unbridled violence in all the territories under its control, as well as in Lebanon and Iran.

Since October 2023, this policy has escalated:

In Gaza: tens of thousands of Palestinians killed, millions forcibly displaced, entire neighborhoods and infrastructure systematically destroyed

In the West Bank: about 1,082 Palestinians killed, including 239 children and teenagers; 61 communities with at least 4,161 members forcibly displaced and another 15 partially so, with at least 454 members displaced

In Israeli prisons: thousands of Palestinians subjected to systemic torture, violence and humiliation, in inhumane conditions

Under Israel's apartheid regime, Palestinian lives are treated as expendable and millions across the Middle East are at risk.

The contrast between Reagan’s speech at Point-Du-Hoc and Pete Hegseth today are like two different galaxies. Listen to how much reverence he gives to the same allies that Hegseth attacks.

[Garth Drury @GarthLyon]

@mattyglesias @terrychristian Agreed. The “green belt” isn’t virgin countryside, it isn’t managed countryside nor even green for most part. It’s an artefact from sprawl triggered by late Ind. Revolution, obsolete for today. Urban planning is needed to continental standards, not complete block on new building.

@LizaRosen0000 It’s only an « ally » for the UK on intelligence that it might share on risks that it itself creates (or created).

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery

@RichScotford @mhmd_s09 @florida_4U2 I can’t help you through this media, but try to contact people with knowledge of Palestinians, the Palestine (Mandate), and migrant terrorism since 1920. It’s not a good look for Homo sapiens, but we can be informed.

[Garth Drury @GarthLyon]

@RichScotford @mhmd_s09 @florida_4U2 “Goat keeper”, you need to stick to goats. Your kind of “see no evil” post allows fascism to arise and survive.

[Garth Drury @GarthLyon]

@wwwpohnihon @VerminusM I didn’t say “State of Palestine”, I said secular state, with perhaps “a new name free of sectarian baggage”. Israel allows no freedom at all to 30% of population in the Mandate area, under its occupation/rule in the West Bank. It’s not a “democracy” while this remains the case.

[Garth Drury @GarthLyon]

@infolibnews @xIsraelExposedx Her points in a nutshell:
1) Facts maybe antisemitic, so..
2) The communication channels need to be controlled (=biased in our favour)
The problem for her is that, sooner or later, core facts will be disclosed.

[Garth Drury @GarthLyon]

@wwwpohnihon @VerminusM No, under a secular state (probably a new name free of sectarian baggage) that treats all human beings exactly the same: religion, as in France, is a private matter.

Children Were Kept In Outdoor Cages During Snowstorms

This is a clip from Stone Cold Justice, John Lyons’ investigation for Four Corners (ABC, 2014). It exposed Israel’s industrialised cruelty way before Oct 7th 2023.

At Ofer Military Prison, Palestinian children are dragged through hearings that last seconds. Shackled, silenced and convicted without being looked at.

Israel’s military courts brag about a 99.74% conviction rate. That’s not law, that’s a rigged machine. A conveyor belt designed to crush children until guilt becomes inevitable.

UNICEF called it systematic, institutionalised abuse: threats of death, beatings, isolation, sexual violence.

This is Israel’s legacy in full view: a state so afraid of Palestinian children it has to break them, then call it justice.

And the world still calls this a democracy.
