Please could we redirect any military aid we currently give to Israel to Ukraine. I'm sure they will be far more careful on where they use it.
Just a random thought for the day.
I'm in the UK, but any country could join in 😁

The difference between the U.S. and Australia…

In the U.S. people use a mass shooting to say that tough gun laws don’t work.

In Australia the government responds to a mass shooting by acknowledging that gun laws need to be strengthened. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...
Australia PM will propose tougher gun laws after Bondi Beach mass shooting
The Australian government is "prepared to take whatever action is necessary," after the shooting at Bondi Beach, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.

Brown U kids who survived USA 389th mass shooting of 2025 will now pay out of pocket for their healthcare, because USA guarantees guns but not health.

Australians who survived the 1st mass shooting in 29 years will pay nothing for healthcare because Australia guarantees health & regulates guns.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

The reprehensible killing of 16 Jews on Bondi Beach is rightly condemned, but the media fail to acknowledge the fact that as many, or more, Arabs are killed by Israeli Jews on a daily basis in Gaza and the West Bank. Anyone brave enough to protest this slaughter is liable to be arrested.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

Sen. Jack Reed: "This is really outrageous. Mark Kelly is a veteran, he's fought in combat, he's an astronaut. And even was simply repeated what the law is. If a US senator can't do that, then this country is in profound difficulty."

The hero who disarmed one of the terrorists in Sydney turned out to be 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmed — a fruit shop owner and father of two.

He was shot twice and is currently in hospital. He is scheduled to undergo surgery.

He had no experience with weapons of any kind.

Once fair elections are gone, the only way to regain democracy will be war, either an underground insurgency or full blown armed warfare. I see no other alternative. The founders understood the price paid for freedom, too bad most Americans forgot.

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔

A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice.

Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

A month ago the Russians claimed they completely captured the Ukrainian city of Kupyansk. President Zelensky then went to Kupyansk and filmed a selfie video to prove the Russians are full of sh*t.
