Times of Israel has openly used the concept of lebensraum to describe Israel's needs... so under Australian law we must support Israel's expansion into Poland, expulsion of dissidents, apartheid, use of illegal weapons and forced sterilisation. How's your pager going?

One issue of the New Chinese Century is that nobody can BECOME Chinese. As Trump amply demonstrates, the stupidest man in the world could become "American", then leap economic classes and eventually soil the White House. But if China becomes the unipower, it may also create a new racial divide.

This, my friends, is one of your legislators. We didn't elect him, but he sits in the House of Lords as a reward for bringing us Brexit, injecting his bigotry, perversity and ignorance into our lives. Daniel Hannan in the Daily Mail today, once again grossly misrepresenting history.
Meanwhile, Caribbean countries are demanding ‘reparations’, not from the African states that enslaved their ancestors, but from the nation that poured its blood and treasure into a relentless campaign for abolition.

Incredibly, African countries – which became British colonies, in no small measure, because we were trying to extirpate slavery – also straight-facedly demand compensation.

The tweet reads: Today, I want to be very clear - 

The more than 40,000 who served our nation in the 20 years of the war in Afghanistan did so with extraordinary bravery and made our nation proud. 

The 47 who made the ultimate sacrifice will forever have their names etched on our nation’s most sacred roll of honour.

For those who were injured physically, and mentally and emotionally, our nation remains in your debt.

The brave deeds of each of these people now form part of the history of our nation. And in thanking them for their service, all of us- in knowing they carried our flag- feel an immense sense of pride.

The Nobel Prize museum in Oslo subtweeting the fuck out of Trump today.
The #NobelPeacePrize medal.

It measures 6.6 cm in diameter, weighs 196 grams and is struck in gold. On its face, a portrait of Alfred Nobel and on its reverse, three naked men holding around each other’s shoulders as a sign of brotherhood. A design unchanged for 120 years.

Did you know that some Nobel Peace Prize medals have been passed on after the award was given? A well‑known case is Dmitry Muratov’s medal, which was auctioned for over USD 100 million to support refugees from the war in Ukraine.

And the medal displayed at the Nobel Peace Center is actually on loan and originally belonged to Christian Lous Lange, Norway’s first Peace Prize laureate.

But one truth remains. As the Norwegian Nobel Committee states: “Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time.”

A medal can change owners, but the title of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot.
