Seems odd they'd make a newspaper called "Palestine" since 1911, that below admittedly only refers to "Arabs of Palestine" rather than "Palestinians" but if this is your justification for the murder of tens of thousands of children, you need your head examined.

Funny how you cherry pick the only example of this that doesn't mention it's Israeli law. Source: google image search with your image.

Thanks for that. Clearly the centuries-indigenous Palestinian victims of Zionist ethnic cleansing have never been first-class Jordanian nationals. Do you enjoy the mental gymnastics you use to justify the brutal occupation and land grab otherwise known as "Israel"?

Do your hundreds of other examples make you look stupid too? These are Israeli signs, explaining Israeli law. You need to end the apartheid supremacy now, and learn to live with indigenous people you are trying to genocide. www.timesofisrael.com/dismissing-w...

How climate change makes hot weather more likelypublished at 12:25
12:25

Mark Poynting
Climate reporter

It’s well established that human-caused climate change is making hot weather more likely and more intense.

As humans burn coal, oil and gas and cut down forests, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere.

These gases act like a blanket, causing the planet to heat up.

And even a small increase in average temperatures makes a big difference to heat extremes.

As the range of daily temperatures shifts to warmer levels, hotter days become more likely and more intense.

Since the 1980s, the UK has been warming at about 0.25C per decade – and 2025 was the UK’s hottest year ever recorded, the Met Office says.

Plus a fairly un-useful graphic showing two normal distributions.

"Dispute over Greenland"...
TRADE / FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Germans Are the Ones Paying for Rearmament, Study Finds

Research contradicts Chancellor Hitler’s claim that others will bear the cost, and could weaken his hand in the dispute over Poland.

Economists say the burden of rapid militarization is falling largely on German households through suppressed wages, rationing and forced savings, despite official assurances that territorial adjustments will be economically painless.

Officials in Berlin have argued that securing access to the Polish Corridor would ultimately pay for itself, but analysts warn that the immediate costs of mobilization and trade disruption are already being felt at home.

Makes sense to use robots to gather real-time real-world training data, interacting with the real world to gather even more data. When the robots have fully onboard powerful AI and weapons, and work together, that's the time to worry. [Image is a bit of an AI fail, but you get my drift...]

OK, bro.
Many of the fathers of Zionism themselves described it as colonialism, such as Vladimir Jabotinsky who said "Zionism is a colonization adventure". Theodore Herzl, in a 1902 letter to Cecil Rhodes, described the Zionist project as "something colonial".

Al-Shifa’s Tunnels Were Built by Israel

It’s also well known that there are, in fact, tunnels and rooms under Al-Shifa. We know that because Israel admits that it built them in the early 1980s. According to Israeli media reports, the underground facilities were designed by Tel Aviv architects Gershon Zippor and Benjamin Idelson. “Israel renovated and expanded the hospital complex with American assistance, in a project that also included the excavation of an underground concrete floor,” according to Zvi Elhyani, founder of the Israel Architecture Archive, writing in Israel’s Ynetnews.

Some original(-ish, it's AI) content from me that I hope will cause a smile or two.
A square AI image depicting a fully armoured knight and fire breathing dragon in the depths of a stone castle where a classic humanoid alien with bulbous head and bug eyes wears a dinner jacket and bowtie and looks at his watch as if bored and unimpressed. Monochrome illustrative style. (That's not the prompt, that's a human description of the image.)

Did 77m American voters not realise Trump was a narcissistic moron? Or were they voting for someone like themselves? I realise there was desperation with the neoliberal status quo, but it was clear he was a dangerous blue-suited snake oil salesman. They could have stayed home or voted otherwise.

Excerpt from Montagu's letter to the Zionist-appeasing British government.
https://balfourproject.org/edwin-montagu-and-zionism-1917/

When the Jews are told that Palestine is their national home, every country will immediately desire to get rid of its Jewish citizens, and you will find a population in Palestine driving out its present inhabitants, taking all the best in the country, drawn from all quarters of the globe, speaking every language on the face of the earth, and incapable of communicating with one another except by means of an interpreter. I have always understood that this was the consequence of the building of the Tower of Babel, if ever it was built, and I certainly do not dissent from the view, commonly held, as I have always understood, by the Jews before Zionism was invented, that to bring the Jews back to form a nation in the country from which they were dispersed would require Divine leadership. I have never heard it suggested, even by their most fervent admirers, that either Mr. Balfour or Lord Rothschild would prove to be the Messiah.

The Litmus Test 

Israel is a Jewish democracy. The framework of governance is democratic, but its underpinning concepts give precedence to Judaism over fundamental democratic rights. Consequently, Israel adopts illiberal policies and practices that are discriminatory in nature, preferring Jews over others. After the Holocaust, the goal was to found a safe haven for Jews all over the world so as to avoid the possibility of another horrific experience of that nature. Indeed, the United Nations acknowledged the need of establishing a Jewish state. This creation, however, based on a specific conception of the good—Judaism—discriminates against the Israeli Palestinians.
