Talking point
Interesting piece by Tucker Carlson. Huckabee is effectively an agent of Israel. Hopefully, he will soon follow Lindsey Graham up the chimney.
Talking point
Well, at least Trump has not, as yet anyway, launched a war against Russia. That is his best point, and arguably his only good point.
Stray thought
I happened to see a few minutes or so of BBC TV News. Almost all about the recent Spanish rail crash. As on previous occasions, I fail to see the interest here, in the UK, in an unfortunate but foreign national or Spanish-regional matter. The same thing occurred after the Lisbon tram crash a couple of years ago. That dragged on for days.
With all the serious international news around, one would imagine that rail or tram crashes in other countries would be a fairly low priority.
I also have often wondered why the British TV always puts crashes of light aircraft on regional if not national TV news. After all, fatalities are usually one or two, no more than in car crashes, which happen daily. Are air crashes, crashes of Cessnas etc into ploughed fields, thought more newsworthy? I cannot see why.
Another thought, this time about Jews and Gaza
I see the usual UK-resident Jews prolific online still whining about how the mass slaughter in Gaza is not, they claim (for hairsplitting technical reasons) a “genocide”.
Well, the [Israeli] Jews have destroyed virtually all the houses and flats which housed about 2 million Gazans (not “6 million”, because there are only 2 million people there). The same [Israeli] Jews have also killed about 75,000 Gazans, of which the vast majority were civilians (at least 21,000 having been under the age of 18). They have also horribly wounded and/or mutilated hundreds of thousands, including large numbers of small children and babies.
The guilt devolving upon the Israeli Jews, the pro-Israel Jews living outside Israel/Palestine, and the pro-Israel non-Jews, from all that (and more) is not vitiated merely because a few Jewish lawyers say it is “not genocide”. Whether it be so labelled is actually irrelevant. They have done what they have done, and must —and will— bear the consequences of their sin.

Interesting viewpoint, with at least a grain of truth in it.
