If stops western countries thinking they can depose foreign governments at will it'll have been, to quote Madeleine Albright, 'a price worth paying'. A crime does not stop being a crime because it is successful.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “The thorough cleansing that we are carrying out now in southern Lebanon is unprecedented. “They have nowhere to return to. Look at how it looks. “And by the way, the world isn’t stopping us.”

So this is support for Suella Braverman of Reform from somebody racist enough to want to ban her from parliament for her ethnicity + ancestry. (Though he does regret that she would have to be sacrificed to get all of the other ethnic minorities banned from elected office)

Out of interest, where do you draw the line? Doctoral qualification minimum and x number of peer reviewed papers? Studs Terkel, for instance, won a Pullitizer but wasn't formally trained, I think. Likewise Thomas Carlyle and Edward Gibbon.

Taking a step back, we're pretty much all of us held hostage by the 'dig stuff out of the ground and burn it' stupidity that enriches a few and threatens to kill the rest of us. Fixing the Russian and Iranian choke points would still only be a small upward bounce as we sprint off the cliff.

Look this is all fine, it's a proportionate response to 7/10; the Israeli's only had a few weeks notice about that attack so there was nothing they could do to stop it. And the hostages, you can't expect Ben to accept the Qatar deal to free them can you? His hands were tied.

European leaders need to realise that NATO Article 5 is not a magic amulet. No treaty commitment is going to persuade a country to put itself in the nuclear firing line when it is not itself under attack - and definitely not one arbitrated by Donald Trump. #r4today

I used to say I just wanted more, better services; less involvement in US wars and a less cruel, insulting political/media environment. Now, it’d a major, astonishing win just to move Britain somewhat back towards liberalism and at least some semblance of organic democracy within my lifetime.

This is correct: 18 year olds have never known a country where there was a credible belief that next year might be better than the one that preceded it, rather than it being dumber, uglier, nastier and more cruel. And that’s not a force of nature, it has been quite deliberately inflicted.

thing bugging me:
When I went to uni, the UK's IMF bailout was a dim and distant thing that happened around the time we were born. Never came up in conversation.
Kids starting uni now are the cohort born in 2008 who presumably see the GFC the same way. Ancient history, ok boomer etc

This is not from an Israeli human rights group or a foreign NGO. It's from the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies, in a report published his week. www.inss.org.il/publication/...

Jewish terrorism has evolved from a local enforcement problem into a distinct strategic threat to the State of Israel and its democratic character. The destructive combination of inadequate enforcement, a lack of political backing for the security agencies, and the weakness of the judicial and law enforcement systems is creating a reality marked by lawlessness, non-recognition of state institutions, and the loss of the state’s monopoly on the use of force. The lack of a decisive Israeli response to this phenomenon constitutes evidence that it is a policy directed from above.
