@Steve__Paxton That's a bit of a silly argument. Income has grown exponentially due to the extraordinary success of capitalism in making people richer.

On This Day — June 4, 1967

Israel stood completely alone — betrayed by its allies and facing annihilation.

France — Israel’s main arms supplier — imposed a total weapons embargo on Israel at the direct order of President Charles de Gaulle.

Already, every major Western power, including the United States, had Israel under a weapons embargo.

The Israeli Cabinet met in emergency session as massive Arab armies gathered on its borders. Egypt alone had nearly 100,000 troops and 1,000 tanks in Sinai, with Jordan, Syria, and Iraq adding more forces. Arab leaders were openly calling for Israel’s destruction.

A cable from U.S. President Lyndon Johnson made the situation brutally clear:

“Israel will not be alone unless it decides to go it alone.”

Israel got the message.

With no strategic depth, vastly outnumbered, and abandoned by its supposed friends, the Cabinet voted 12–2 to launch a preemptive strike on the largest Arab military, Egypt (which had already committed an act of war by closing the Straits of Tiran). The war would begin the next morning.

The mood across Israel was somber and resolute. Parks were dug up for mass graves. Schools became bomb shelters. Teenagers filled sandbags. The entire nation understood it faced an existential threat — a potential second Holocaust.

Yet on June 5, Israel acted.

This was the moment a small, isolated nation chose survival over waiting for the mercy of others.

Never forget how alone Israel truly was on the eve of the Six Day War.

The OBR has admitted that its prediction that the British economy would expand by 2% in 2025 was "too optimistic", partially because it underestimated the negative impact of Rachel Reeves' decision to impose a large increase in employer NICs.

The amount of money the government is borrowing is also £60bn higher than the OBR predicted, which is truly shocking given the vast increases in taxes imposed by Labour.

The Sikh community are often first on the scene in a crisis. They dedicate their lives to helping others, of any culture. They provide untold amounts of relief in humanitarian disasters. One evil act by one Sikh does not represent the vast majority who are charitable & peaceable.
