Netanyahu doesn’t want peace, his popularity depends on an ongoing genocide. Now that the hostages are released, he doesn’t even have to pretend to take care about which properties are hit. He wants a ‘greater Israel’ and won’t stop at the Palestinian borders to achieve this aim.

How can this be ethical or legal? Is China as big a threat to Europe as America is under Trump?

One thing is clear: renewables don’t fit within the political economy of neoliberal capitalism.

We have to choose between the profits of oil producers, and the health and prosperity of entire societies. But our politicians
care more about the former than the latter.

Why don’t you investigate Reform run councils? This will be the issue to potentially sink Reform before the General Election.

Shouldn’t you wait to see what or if an announcement is made before writing this article? By all means, pull apart Reform’s budget and add expert testimony to back up your argument but it isn’t wise to guess what Reform may or may not do. 1

The Palestinians are being asked to sign a peace deal that will end with them giving up land to Israel, even though Israel has been breaking international law since 1967 by occupying land in Palestine. Why should Israel’s illegal occupation be rewarded by this deal?

Western news talks of Israeli hostages and how part of the ‘peace deal’ will discuss destroying Hamas. Israel has been an occupying force since 1967 in contravention of international law. Why should it be rewarded with any control? Israeli forces and people must leave.

What horrifies me about this is that it is highly unlikely intelligence services etc didn’t know about Epstein’s activities long before this which means that child abuse is just something to turn a blind eye to (see also Cyril Smith, Al Fayed etc etc)

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.
