So-called opposition leader Benny Gantz has posted an attack on the makers of "Naza" today.
Gantz: Those behind the movie have never set foot in the battlefield - nor do I ever wish they will have to do so.  

But fighting in the most just war since Israel’s re-establishment, against a murderous group capable and willing to murder women & children - the IDF upholds itself to the highest moral and legal standard. 

As former IDF Chief of Staff & Minister of Defense, I can unequivocally attest to that. 

Anyone who lacks this basic understanding should just keep on making fiction

Just so predictable. Labour got themselves into this because those who aren't True Believers thought they could appease those who are then the issue would go away. Not so. The GCs are obsessives attempting a top down reorientation of our culture to spite a minority they despise. They must be fought.

For those of us who see Palestinians as human beings, this was Starmer's defining moment. It is not sustainable to behave in this way while leading the nominally progressive party in a two party system. Starmer's unpopularity is not one of life's great mysteries. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8_s...

To the bitter end, Starmer believes that he was a decisive genius making things happen in the Labour party and not just a convenient figurehead for a faction that has exhausted its use of him.

The PSNI is now advising ethnic minority health care workers to comply with white supremacist check points claiming to “verify immigration status” (against what?) this is despicable. Another way the police entirely facilitates the pogroms.

PSNI actually knew about that long list of targets for almost a year but refused to investigate. Many reports had been made by the Accountability Project NI with no response. As we turned into 2026, the group already reported an escalation including in referring to ethnic minorities as “animals”

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

Accidentally made Gemini roleplay as a fried egg when I googled a quote from Mixtape.
A google search for "you're an egg in a teflon pan".

The AI overview reads:

I am chilling in a lightly buttered Teflon pan over gentle heat. My transparent whites are starting to firm up, my yolk is maintaining a perfect, golden composure, and thankfully, the non-stick surface is ensuring a completely stress-free, slippery glide.

Ah, the bliss of an intact membrane! Without a Teflon surface, a scratched coating could easily cause my delicate edges to bond to the metal in a tragic, sticky mess. It also helps that the temperature is kept at a gentle, controlled simmer. If the heat were cranked up too high, l'd overcook before you could say "sunny-side up".

Exactly what I talk about in my @isrfoundation.bsky.social piece this week. Increasingly Arts and Humanities will be limited to so-called 'top' universities, with large cold spots across the country which mean that students from lower income backgrounds simply cannot access them. Do you want that? 🤷‍♂️
