The behaviour of the Israeli government = that of the German government during the years Hitler was in power.
The behaviour of the Israeli Jews = that of the German people during the years Hitler was in power.
And deep inside these Israeli Jews know.

Als je het nog niet gezien hebt: kijk Het Geweten van Israël terug, de indringende docu van @nadiamoussaid.bsky.social over Palestijns en Israëlisch verzet tegen de genocide in Gaza, in een samenleving die steeds dieper wegzakt in morele apathie en radicalisme.

Het geweten van Israël | NPO Start

Nadia Moussaid volgt Israëlische en Palestijns/Israëlische burgers die zich uitspreken tegen het genocidale geweld in Gaza, ondanks de grote sociale druk en dreigende gevangenisstraf. De beelden uit u...

Vance on leaked Young Republicans group chat where members discuss putting Democrats in 'gas chambers,' attacking Jews, calling Black people 'watermelon people,' and calling to 'rape' their enemies:

"Grow up. I'm sorry, focus on the real issues, don't focus on what kids say in group chats."

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

Full on fascism always has a high degree of dumbness. It comes with the brand so to say. That's why it can be beaten.

That's why we - the New Allies - will crush these fascists, and be lot more thorough than the Allies ever were during the end of WW2.

Warm water dissolves less CO₂

In 2023, high temperatures, especially in the North Atlantic, reduced CO₂ solubility and weakened the ocean’s carbon-absorbing capacity.

Shocking news
Ocean carbon sink that has saved us so far in absorbing over 25% humans emissions is failing

Results show that in 2023, global oceans absorbed almost a billion tons, or around 10% less CO₂, than anticipated based on previous years

The Ocean Carbon Sink Is Ailing

Measurements analyzed by an international research team indicate the global ocean absorbed significantly less CO₂ than anticipated during the unprecedented marine heatwave in 2023.

We have the same experience here in BC with a so called "social democratic" government investing heavily in LNG, and doing zip when it comes to the protection of old growth forests.

The problem with Labour = they are behave like employees, even when they have all the power.

What Trump and his cronies don't get is that the Third Reich never happened, the nazis were totally crushed, that Hitler and Goebbels totally beaten committed suicide, most other nazis were tried went to jail or hung.
When we get going we will be more thorough than the Allies ever were.

How can these cowards surrounding Johnson just stand there and say nothing?
What a coward or insignificant human being you have to be to tolerate someone like Johnson.

Bessent = just another candidate for jail time because of treason charges.
None of these trump cronies will escape jail time, unless they escape to Argentina or Paraguay like so many other nazis did.

CBC news at it again this morning 8 am news from Vancouver:
Reports on delays in returning of Israeli hostages to Israel and Israel keep border shut from food going into Gaza.
CBC news doesn't mention that retrieving bodies is made very difficult because Israel has flattened large parts of Gaza.

It's probably a good idea to take away the worldcup from the USA and have all games played in Canada and Mexico.

Does any of the teams - except for the US team - want to play in the US at all?
