Any Palestinian state that Israel agrees to will not be sovereign (see e.g. Netanyahu’s 2009 Bar Ilan speech [which also contains the intentional dealbreaker of Palestinians legitimising the Nakba). Exclusive Jewish sovereignty from the river to the sea is the central tenet of Revisionist Zionism.

Which 2SS doesn’t involve exclusive Jewish sovereignty from the river to the sea?

More people who find reading hard should be told that yes, reading is hard!! There's a reason why we ask parents and carers to read to children from their first day on earth until they get too old to dance on our feet

When is the rest of the world going to take seriously the fact that the central tenet of Revisionist Zionism is exclusive Jewish sovereignty from the river to the sea?

I lived near a food bank outreach in NYC and the people who lined up to get the free groceries were the homeless and little old Chinese ladies there for the free stuff.

And good luck finding businesses to offer meaningful work experience to hundreds of thousands of 14 and 15 year olds. As ever a failure to acknowledge that our big challenge with vocational ed is our labour market.

It’s not a taboo word but still funny that the Irish for “rat” is “francach”, literally “French/Frankish”, a contraction of “luch fhrancach”, “French mouse”, francach being a word in medieval Irish that implied something exotic or large.

And from data points like "worry about car theft", "licence tenure", "motoring offences per capita"/

Chris Connolly @edtechris.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
It's a pretty dishonest representation of the metrics, in which licence tenure, motoring offences per capita, worry about theft of car. LTNs and cameras make a place "less drivable" in the report, not more, but they only account for a small % of the overall score.
