Saturday quiz
Well, this week I scored 7/10, thus trumping political journalist John Rentoul, who claims 3.5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 4 (could not bring it to mind), 5, and 10. I admit that my correct answer to question 7 was an educated guess.
More “diversity”

“A 19-year-old who followed a man off a London Underground and violently robbed his gold necklace has been jailed. Mamadou Bah, of no fixed address, was sentenced to three years in prison at Warwick Crown Court following the incident which took place during the early hours of December 20.”

The UK must be socially-cleansed.
Israeli war crimes
“‘They know the house they are bombing is full of children’: NAZA’s directors on their devastating film about Israeli intelligence“
“The film uncovers a system that is fiendishly efficient. Its series of disconnects appears designed to distance the perpetrators from the crime. Many of these men work remotely from Tel Aviv. AI selects the target and a drone drops the bomb. Even the language feels purposely euphemistic and obfuscatory. NAZA translates as collateral damage, which in turn translates to human beings.”
“Sure, it’s easier to kill people when you’re doing it on a screen,” Abraham says. “There is some truth in that, I guess. But equally it should be said that intelligence officers know the most. They listen to the cellphones. They know the house they are bombing is full of children. They can hear babies crying. They still order another strike.”
“Rooftops at night are a good location, says Szor. They lend themselves to contemplation and help people speak more freely. One soldier recalls the “insane fun” of planning airstrikes. Another remembers visiting Holocaust sites as a boy and wondering how the German people could have acted as they did. “I still see the Nazis as evil,” he says. “But what does that mean I am?“

In reality, “the Nazis“, i.e. National Socialists, or just Germans 1933-1945 (simpletons on the msm often refer to WW2 German troops as “the Nazis“, of course), were, most of them, far from evil. Jews in particular, Israeli or otherwise, tend to have been indoctrinated since early childhood to think so, however.
What —again— struck me, reading the interview, was the realization that Tel Aviv, where the Jews (mainly Jews, also some others, non-Jew tourists etc) sit eating falafel or Danish pastries, drinking coffee outside cafes etc, and most of the time undisturbed by war or war crimes, is a mere 44 miles from the border with Gaza, where Jewish snipers deliberately kill or maim Gazan children, where the population is almost constantly bombed and shot at, and starved, and deprived of medical attention and shelter. Less than the distance from London to Southend, or a mile or two more than the distance from London to Reading.

At last.
First, Sachsen-Anhalt; then the rest of Germany. After that, the rest of Europe, including the UK.
Well, who would have thought that such an event might occur…
