Each member of a Canadian delegation attempting to enter the West Bank were “asked to sign a form declaring they acknowledge they are a threat to public safety, which they declined to do.” So Israel denied them entry. The first mention that Israel denied them comes in the 4th paragraph in a quote.

The conman from Mar-a-Lago promised to lower the price of eggs. Now he is going door to door in Europe begging for eggs. In Canada egg prices remain stable. Here's my piece on Trump's disastrous handling of the crisis as avian flu threatens an even bigger disaster. substack.com/home/post/p-...

“The potential implications and scope of this executive order are limited only by our imagination." @msjpauly.bsky.social covers the bad science and worse potential consequences of Trump's executive order targeting gender.

Trump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications

it's just dawning on Israel that IDF soldiers who posted selfies as they committed crimes against humanity can actually be held accountable. Imagine that. Take a vacations abroad, get served an arrest warrant. That's what it means to be indicted as an international war criminal.

- In the United States, the likelihood that a released convict will return to prison within five years is 45.8 percent. - For the 750 GRIP graduates since 2012 who have subsequently been released, the figure is 1.71 percent. Adam Hochschild went to figure out why.
