To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. (Nelson Mandela)

🇩🇪🇮🇱 German Chancellor Merz just said, "Antisemites and enemies of Israel, whether they come from the right or from the left, will always find bitter opponents in us.
We will not tolerate it. We will not accept it."
Sounds like he may be conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism.

I guess it’s antisemitic to support Britain over Israel..
It's been reported by the Telegraph that Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Israel to support Argentina on the Falklands over Britain.
Why should Britain be expected to defend Israel's national interests if Israel's leadership refuses to respect ours?
Britain is not obliged to give any foreign government unconditional political or military support.
Our foreign policy should be guided by British interests, and British interests only - that is the Restore Britain position.
The Falkland Islands are British, and will remain British.

When the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is advising people to stock up on tinned food and bottled water, we are no longer living in a serious country. We are living in one that has quietly accepted decline as normal.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Tucker just WENT OFF on NETANYAHU AND ISRAEL'S LEADERSHIP
And he's going after something much deeper than the war itself.
Tucker argues that when a country convinces itself the entire world wants it dead, eventually ANYTHING can be justified in the name of survival.
He points to the devastation in Lebanon, DESTROYED CHURCHES, and what he explicitly calls GENOCIDE.
And then comes the question that really stings: What the hell did the Christians do to deserve any of this?
His larger argument is that suffering doesn't give anyone a lifetime license to inflict suffering on others.
“You become a monster to the extent you believe you are a victim.”
And Tucker isn't just talking about Israel. He's warning that ANY society can reach the point where it stops seeing innocent people on the other side as human beings.
That's a pretty dark place to end up.

No political party will save us. No politician will save us. They aren’t public servants. They are parasites. The people who feed off fear, hopes, votes, helplessness and our taxes have no interest in ending the conditions that make voters comply to them. But they do have a vested interest in making their corporate donors exceedingly rich.
The only force capable of changing anything is the one that never waited for permission: people who stop looking upward for deliverance and start building, defending and refusing where they stand. History does not record a single sustained improvement that arrived as a gift from those who profit by keeping the gift out of reach. It records the moments when enough people decided the waiting was finished.

Here is Andy Burnham discussing his meeting with Zelensky. @russell_kane absolutely nails it once again.

There are times when I wonder whether “the Russians are coming for us” is dumber than “there’s a novel deadly virus” or “CO2 is boiling the planet”. But then I wake up and realize that a substantial swathe of humanity has reached absolute stupidity, making comparison pointless.

If you are going to listen to the extremist Muslims. Then you ALSO have to listen to the extremist jews… and Christians.
Imagine being so brainwashed & ignorant that you FAIL to listen & HEAR what they believe in their own words.
Their words.
Their views.
Their beliefs.
Their scripts.
Their books.
Their history.
Their thoughts of you.
Their vision for the future of humanity.
And still you don’t LISTEN.
This is nothing but ignorance.
And those that highlight these FACTS & TRUTHS in THEIR words & defend themselves from the consequences of the actions of this ideology are the ones that are condemned.
This is ABUSE & Psychological Warfare.
NO ONE is above criticism, responsibility & accountability.
Calling someone a pathological liar is quite an accusation. You should provide indisputable evidence of this, or you should withdraw your comment.

This is the political class which wants to send our children into a suicidal war. Look carefully, what do you see?
Very few are as convincing as @georgegalloway because he has something that most of our politicians have not. It's called integrity.
Breaking News🚨: "If you want to 'David Kelly' me, you'd better come after all of my friends, all of my family and all of my followers. Just who the hell do you think you are?".
Veteran broadcaster and Leader of the @WorkersPartyGB goes into overdrive on a one man mission to call out and roundly humiliate, the head of Mi5 and fellow Scot, Sir Ken McCallum.
Mr Galloway was not only firing on all of his Dundonian cylinders, but with the truth at his sails, he outed the hapless and tireless work of the state to paint the Russians as our enemy.
George's references to those poor souls, 'liquidated' by 'dirty tricks', were targeted as the loudest prevailing voices offering counter arguments to those endlessly espoused by the 'state with the UK state, AKA the Crown.

THE IRAN WAR IS STALLED. IS PETE HEGSETH ABOUT TO BE SACRIFICED?
President Trump now says the U.S. may have gone too far by targeting Iran’s leadership because Washington no longer knows who it can negotiate with.
Seven months into the war, 81 U.S. aircraft have been lost or damaged, at least 21 service members have been killed, and 865 wounded. Billions have been spent, yet no clear path to victory remains.
The strategy was simple: remove Iran’s leadership and force collapse. It failed. Iran hardened, more hardline figures rose, and Trump now admits the U.S. may have eliminated the people needed to end the conflict.
If the intelligence behind the leadership strikes was wrong, what else is Washington getting wrong? Trump says China and Russia are not significantly aiding Iran and argues the U.S. would know if they were. But the war remains stalled.
Ending it will require concessions, and Washington will need someone to blame. Trump reportedly has reservations about livestreaming the firing-squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, a plan publicly backed by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The report remains unconfirmed, but it suggests potential friction inside the administration.
Reports also say more service members are seeking conscientious-objector discharges, while as many as 60 troops have objected to participating in Hasan’s execution.
With midterms approaching, a prolonged war, casualties, rising costs, and public exhaustion are becoming a political problem. When the pressure mounts, someone will take the fall.
And as the administration looks for a way out, is Pete Hegseth becoming the fall guy for its failure in Iran? With midterms approaching, a prolonged war, casualties, rising costs, and public exhaustion are becoming a political liability. When the pressure peaks, someone will take the fall. Dr. Trita Parsi (@tparsi) joins us to break it down.
