The lack of common sense shared standards when dealing with Israel never ceases to amaze me. Iran-backed Hezbollah, a terror army inside Lebanon, has fired over 1,000 rockets at northern Israel despite the April 2026 ceasefire. This again forced tens of thousands of Israeli citizens to evacuate their homes or live daily running to shelters. This is not Lebanon confronting Israel. It is a terror group that Lebanon, despite repeated promises and UN resolutions, does not control and cannot control. No other nation would accept this or be told to just take it. Israel responded by striking the terror organization. Then Iran launched 11 ballistic missiles directly at Israel, massively violating the ceasefire with the U.S. and Israel. Yet somehow Israel is the one constantly told to show restraint.
1/ I went to Parliament to watch the Women and Equalities Committee. The chair of the EHRC Mary-Ann Stephenson (MAS) and CEO John Kirkpatrick were giving evidence, the other adults in the room were Rosie Duffield and Rebecca Paul MP. Other than that it was the slow kid's table.
Hard to know who to take seriously re Michael Foran's abilities — the many practising and academic lawyers who've defended him, or the disgraced ex-GP and the coach tour operator 🤔.
@EveExamines@HenMazzig@JewishSpaceLazr That’s not true. We have laws protecting people in public spaces from harassment, alarm and distress. It’s not a particularly high bar, either (unless you’re a police officer on the receiving end).
Hey @AP - who was killed? And by whom?
Anyone reading your misleading headline would have no idea.
So let's supply the missing information:
An Arab Israeli citizen carried out a terrorist attack against Jewish Israelis inside Israel's sovereign borders, targeting them because they were Jews.
Yet AP apparently considered the attack's proximity to the West Bank more newsworthy than the identity of the victims, the perpetrator, or the motive.
Why?
Because "near the West Bank" adds a political frame - justifying the terrorist attack.
The victims were not attacked because of where they were. They were attacked because of who they were.
Stop justifying terrorism and the premeditated murder of innocent civilians.
@LGBTQPrideUK@DBanksy@michaelpforan Oh do fuck off - he is an expert in the field and calling his truths ‘propaganda’ because you don’t like them says far more about you than him.
@SamanthaNiblet4 I will not legitimise - or further the reach of - an ideology that is extremely hostile to the boundaries of women and girls.
Is astounding that you can't consider the second order effects of what you think is simply politeness.
