Sei que o meu apoio (e de muita gente) a Israel é moralmente superior ao "apoio" de muita gente aos palestinianos por uma simples razão: o nosso apoio não se move pelo ódio, mas sim pela solidariedade. Não nos preocupamos com os israelitas consoante quem os ataca, só quando dá para criticar muçulmanos ou árabes ou palestinianos.

Já o movimento "pró-palestiniano" só se "preocupa" com os palestinianos quando lhes serve para atacar os israelitas, os EUA, a UE, o ocidente, o capitalismo, etc.. Nunca se "preocupam" com os palestinianos quando os palestinianos são presos, torturados e mortos pelos seus própios líderes, pelo Hamas, por Assad, etc.. São movidos pelo ódio, apenas utilizam os palestinianos como instrumento. Objetificam-nos e deitam-nos fora quando deixam de interessar.

Seeing the despicably cruel, heartless and abusive way that many people in UK and US have responded to the deaths of conservative politicians, Ann Widdecombe and Lindsey Graham, reminds me that the least kind people on earth are ironically those on the #BeKind woke left.

Nenhum outro país do mundo conseguiu oferecer até hoje e em simultâneo:
- tanta riqueza
- a tanta gente
- numa democracia tão longa
- com garantias de liberdade e direitos civis

Os EUA continuam a ser o maior e melhor referencial de liberdade e prosperidade da História da Humanidade. ❤️🇺🇸

Este testemunho de uma mulher violada e mutilada pelo Hamas no massacre de 7 de Outubro perante uma relatora do ONU que publicou um relatório dizendo que não há provas de violência sexual nesse massacre ficará como um dos momentos mais representativos deste século.

Uma montanha de imobilismo de esquerda bloqueou, uma vez mais, o país. Porque, afinal, está tudo bem: 20% de desemprego jovem, 40% dos jovens empregados em situação precária, salário mediano nos 1000 Euros. Importante preservar tudo como está para esta montanha.

You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me.

Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true.

Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response.

I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth.

The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts.

I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse.

So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

Are Chinese people in Britain chased down the street for what Beijing does to Uighurs? Are Russians here hunted for Ukraine? Are Afghans attacked over how women are treated back home? No. But Jews are singled out, blamed, and targeted for Israel. The hypocrisy isn’t even subtle.

Se a actual proposta de reforma da legislação laboral for aprovada, Portugal deixa de ser o 4º país da OCDE com menor flexibilidade laboral. Passa a ser o 5º ou 6º pior. Discutem-se alterações mínimas, sem qualquer impacto relevante, como se fossem casos de vida ou de morte.

“A sua conceptualização do que viria a ser chamado “capitalismo” supunha também uma radical democratização do jogo económico, na medida em que negava privilégios epistémicos aos supostamente mais “sábios” ou poderosos para governarem a vida dos outros.”

#Iran

The key factors that led to the ceasefire, including what some are not telling you:

- The hardline faction of the regime accused the Foreign Minister and other officials of being traitors for calling for an end to the war.

- Iran’s president accused the Revolutionary Guard of sabotaging the chances of a ceasefire.

- The elimination of Majid Khademi, head of intelligence for the Revolutionary Guard, was confirmed. This brought the total to 250 regime officials and leaders eliminated, in addition to the disappearance without any news of the “new” Supreme Leader—who may be ill or dead.

- Iran’s nuclear infrastructure has been largely demolished, and its military and naval capabilities have been mostly destroyed.

- The United States was able to insert dozens of aircraft into #Iran and establish a temporary base to rescue a pilot. The operation involved nearly 100 special forces members plus several dozen fighter jets and helicopters. This was clear evidence of the regime’s military weakness.

- President Trump issued an aggressive ultimatum with the aim of forcing a ceasefire and exposing the factions within the regime that no longer hold real power.

In his Truth Social post, Trump speaks of a “wonderful” regime change:
“However, now that we have complete and total regime change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds will prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen. WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the world.”

- A source from the Iranian regime claimed on state TV that they had broken off all talks with the US. Obviously, this was false.

- Trump announces a conditional ceasefire, and the Iranian regime accepts.

Trump states that he “surpassed" all military objectives; he is opening a ceasefire.

He does not say he accepts Iran’s ten points at face value. He explicitly says they are “a workable basis for negotiation” and are subject to the full and free reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

“We received a 10-point proposal from Iran and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have already been agreed between the United States and Iran (referring to the new regime), but a two-week period will allow the agreement to be finalized and consummated.”

No. Iran is not charging fees for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, nor, of course, in yuan.

Trump declared that the free flow through the Strait must be part of any peace deal with Iran.
The United Arab Emirates stated that this waterway “cannot be held hostage by any country” and that free navigation must be part of any resolution to the conflict.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry pointed out that all countries in the region have the right to use the Strait freely.
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) clearly states that countries bordering straits cannot demand payment simply for allowing passage through them.

No, the United States is not accepting Iran’s nuclear program remaining intact. In fact, it has demolished Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

. Natanz, the main uranium enrichment plant with underground facilities, is 95% destroyed.
. Fordow (the underground enrichment plant) was demolished using bunker-buster bombs.
. Isfahan: Destroyed.
. Arak (heavy water complex): severely damaged.
. Ardakan (uranium concentrate production plant): completely bombed.
. Bushehr (Iran’s only operating nuclear power plant): bombed four times.

And, of course, two weeks of continued military pressure and negotiations.

Bonito era os países europeus exigirem a um certo país da NATO e candidato à UE que respeite os direitos dos cristãos a celebrar a Páscoa na Basílica de Santa Sofia.

Mas aí já não lhes vão responder de imeditado que foi um erro nem corrigir a situação.

Um dos casos mais absurdos de burocracia que já vi: a Segurança Social exige um documento a uma pessoa que é emitido por quem? Pela própria Segurança Social! Processo atrasado porque alguém não quis procurar no seu próprio sistema informático um documento que já lá está porque é emitido por quem o está a pedir.
