Well, a very modest 3/10 this week, but the questions were, I think, a little more difficult than usual, looking at political journalist John Rentoul, who scored zero. I only knew the answers to questions 1, 4, and 10. I thought that I knew number 7 as well but, as football fans say, I “hit the post” and was mistaken.
In the 21st century, Israel is committing genocide in front of the eyes of the whole world and we are all watching like watching a movie. Someone should stop this!!!#starlinkforgazahttps://t.co/KVcaq8oBgd
The suffering and terror of the Gazan people is terrible. Two million civilians, half of them children or teenagers. The animal population, including cats, is also there, suffering with them..
Meanwhile the fanatical Jew-Zionists (though a small minority of all Jews currently resident here in the UK) cheer on “their” state of Israel as it does such terrible actions; the same also whine that they themselves are “in fear” from, it seems, people disapproving of them and Israel.
May her face & her words haunt all those who enabled, supported and cheered the genocide of Palestinians
Of course, until 1948 Palestine was under British (international Mandate) rule, but as soon as Israel was proclaimed as a state, there began the mass killings, ethnic cleansing etc known as the Nakba. Seizure of land, houses, and apartments from Palestinian Arabs by Jews. It still continues, though more gradually. The Jews also punish the families and relatives of Palestinian activists or operatives by demolishing their homes.
Massive amounts of oil have been discovered off of Gaza
International law says that oil belongs to Palestine not Israel
Readers of the blog are advised that I was expelled from Twitter in 2018, after a long campaign against me by the “usual suspects” (Jews connected to the fake “charity” known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism”). I have therefore not posted on Twitter/X since mid-2018.
I now see that one of the several people on Twitter/X with the same name as me (Ian Millard) is posting comment related to political and other matters. His account is “@IanMillard100”. I have no reason to believe that he is deliberately posing as me, but it occurs to me that some readers might imagine that he is me. In a word, no.

It’s so weird that a world that has persecuted, despised, murdered, mistreated & exiled Jews for over 2 thousand years is hostile to Israel.
Why, I wonder, have Jews been so disliked and/or despised over the centuries? Why have so many great composers, writers, poets, political leaders etc been “antisemites”? It’s certainly a puzzle…

I have no idea whether that is so, but the Israeli forces have always been very trigger-happy, and never seem to care about the casualties of their callousness, so maybe the Israelis just opened fire on both their Palestinian targets and, as “collateral damage”, anyone who was in the vicinity.
Israel, a state created out of the sweepings of the ghettoes of Europe and elsewhere, a state created largely by terrorism and intimidation, theft of land, and ethnic cleansing. Now we see the result.

“American aircraft carriers will not scare anyone in the Middle East, says Ritter.
Washington sent two aircraft carrier groups to the Mediterranean and Red Sea. But their presence will not change the situation in the Middle East and will not impress adversaries, US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.
In his opinion, the forces that the Pentagon is deploying in the region will not be able to have a significant impact on the brewing hostilities. They will not be able to intimidate Iran, Hezbollah, or even the militants who are launching attacks on American bases in Iraq and Syria.
“This is just posturing. In this way, the United States is trying to create the appearance of activity, while behind the scenes it is desperately trying to get Israel to defuse the situation and not invade the Gaza Strip,” Ritter explained.”

We are now learning that between 3000-4000 Palestinians came from Gaza to commit the massacres and NOT all were members of the Hamas terror organization. That means regular Gazans came with Hamas and committed these brutalities. What kind of society breeds people who behave like…
If some Gazans are monstrous, they have been made monstrous, and made so by Israel, by Israeli Jews, almost all of which undertake military service, including keeping the Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza and other parts of former Palestine.
The Israeli narrative now is, in effect, “Hamas operatives entered southern Israel a few weeks ago, killing hundreds of Israelis. Most of the attackers were killed or captured, but we have bombed and rocketed, and will now continue to rocket and bomb, Gaza, killing tens of thousands directly. We have also switched off most supplies to Gaza of water, food, electricity, and gas, which may kill hundreds of thousands directly and indirectly. We also intend to use poison gas. We are the victims (always)...”

“Ukrainians demand answers from Zelensky about missing soldiers, writes New York Times Last week, hundreds of Ukrainians who came to Kyiv from different parts of the country staged a demonstration near the office of Vladimir Zelensky.
Those gathered chanted his name and demanded that he bring their loved ones home from the front, writes The New York Times. The protest was a “rare display” of discontent.
Despite the fact that cemeteries across Ukraine are steadily filling up, there is almost no open criticism of the authorities’ actions. But the pain and losses accumulate, the publication notes. Relatives of missing Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are growing increasingly frustrated that the government, which fears a decline in morale in society, is unable to give them concrete answers.
Some demonstrators admitted to The New York Times that they had been trying to obtain this information for more than a year without success, and asked reporters to write down the names of their sons.”

We received a threat via phone call from the Israeli occupation threatening the destruction of the main Gaza Municipality building in Palestine Square.
We confirm that the main municipal building is the headquarters of the main administration of the municipality, and it is a building that was built about 200 years ago.
The building contains the city’s documents and archives, and implementing the occupation’s threats to bomb it would plunge the city into a state of great chaos.
We call on all international and humanitarian organizations to intervene urgently and curb the occupation.”

While I doubt that Aaron Bastani, Ash Sarkar etc are themselves proponents of a “free society” anyway, the fact is that an editor, a Jew at that, has been dismissed for noting the callousness of (I presume, not having read the material) Israel and the Jews and others outside Israel who regard the victims of the attack on the Gaza “Ghetto” as “collateral damage”, in some cases expressly.
You see that attitude in tweets by some of the unpleasant Jews in the UK prolific on Twitter/X.
The editor in question lives and works in the USA, with its supposed regard for “free speech”. However, as I have blogged in the past, while that U.S. Constitutional protection may save someone from being arrested and/or prosecuted, it does not save someone from being dismissed from a job, or removed from a profession (perhaps), and so (in a finance-capitalist society) possibly losing his place of abode, quite possibly also his family life etc.
Needless to say, the mainstream media, publishing etc are completely owned or controlled by Jews in the USA (and UK, for that matter), and even where not, strongly influenced by Jew-Zionism.

That is one migrant-invader out of literally millions. She has been sheltered and fed (etc) by the British people (through their taxes), and now large further monies have been spent on her investigation, prosecution, trial, defence, possible appeal, and costs of imprisonment. Then, after her eventual release, more monies spent on her shelter, food, etc. That is only ONE migrant-invader, out of millions.
The best you can hope for is that they are just useless; many are far worse.

The Israelis say that they have proven that Hamas has been using some areas in or below hospitals in Gaza as HQ and staff centres, and that that fact (if it is a fact) gives Israel the right to flatten such hospitals (after —sometimes— telephoning a hypocritical “warning”).
Decent people(s) would of course still not bomb such hospitals, knowing that civilians, many of them mere children, are there. The Israelis not only “disagree”; I do not think that they (and their Jewish supporters in countries such as the UK) actually see the inhumanity in that reasoning.

An IDF ground operation in the Gaza Strip could take months, require significant military forces, and “the Israeli military is already stretched to the limit,” Vice reports , citing senior US officials and the Israeli military.
If that is true, i.e. that the Israeli forces are now stretched to the limit, then now, logically, would be the moment for Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, even Egypt, and those imprisoned in the West Bank territories, to strike. However, the Arabs and others in the region are disunited. The outcome remains uncertain.

Looking also at the present political climate, and the great unpopularity of the present government, it may be that Bridgen has as much chance as a “Reclaim Party” candidate as he would have had as a “Conservative” Party one.
Reclaim Party is a dead duck, in my opinion, but Bridgen has a high public profile, and it is just about possible that, if the Conservative Party vote in the constituency collapses, or reduces by 40%-50%, and if the Labour Party vote only increases slightly, that Bridgen might just manage to come through the middle and win by a short head. A long-shot, but just about possible.

I particularly remember the first time I heard that Bach piece, at least the last movement.
I was in a parachute class, and we were shown a film of experienced display parachutists exiting, but not on static lines, from a plane, the group —unusually— holding each other so that they all formed one long string from the door to the tailplane, then moving along so that they were all strung out behind the plane. Finally, they let go one by one, later meeting in mid-air to form other rings and shapes.
The final movement of the Orchestral Suite no.2 by J.S. Bach was the soundtrack to that film.
“A man was punched multiple times before having part of his ear ripped off in an unprovoked and violent attack by two brothers…He was left with “very unpleasant injuries” and a permanent scar…
…the victim had been walking home from a pub on Portland when a group of men began to follow him and the woman he was with.
One of the men shouted at the woman, but the pair ignored the group and kept walking.
Prosecuting, Roderick Blain, said that Anders Naylor, of Norfolk Road in Weymouth, was among the group.
He went up to the victim, and “punched him in the face”, Mr Blain said.
The victim said he “did not want to fight” and kept walking.
Further up the road Anders punched him a further two times to the head, and another man from the group “struck him on the head from behind”
Repeating he “did not want to fight”, the victim continued walking and passed a Co-op store.
There, Anders assaulted him again by “grabbing him and putting him up to a car” and punching him to the head and chest.
The victim then “took Anders to the ground” to prevent any further attack, the court was told.
However, while on the ground, Anders’ brother Ayrton began grabbing at the victim’s ear, tearing off part of the lobe and cartilage…
While the piece of his ear was recovered, it was unable to be re-attached, so hospital staff cleaned up the ear as much as they could with stitches.
The victim had never met the men before and was “disgusted” by what they had done.
The brothers were sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court having pleaded guilty to assault in relation to the incident, which occurred on Friday, August 13, 2021.
Both brothers were said to be “highly intoxicated” at the time of the assault.
Judge Keith Cutler CBE described it as a “violent attack” which left a man with “unpleasant injuries”.
He said: “It’s now been over two years since the incident.
“There must have been a lot of swearing, shouting and blood. And the next morning, hopefully a lot of regret.”
Anders was given a 12 month jail sentence suspended for two years and ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.
Ayrton was given a 12 months community order and ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work.“
[Bournemouth Echo].
Britain today. A group of drunken thugs shout insults at a woman in the street after dark, then attack the lone man —someone unknown to them— accompanying her, and then they continue the unprovoked attack by tearing off part of the victim’s ear. Sentence? Term of imprisonment, but suspended, albeit with some “serf labour” to be completed.
I am no “hanger and flogger”, far from it, but this is just not good enough. The victim(s) left without justice, in my view, and the message sent out to the public is very weak.

“1. President Joe Biden’s statement regarding the bombing of the hospital in Gaza was from a misfired Palestinian rocket is totally ridiculous and absurd.
2. Why should there be any doubt that the blast of the Al Ahli Arab hospital is from an Israeli air strike as the murderous regime had been attempting to wipe Palestinians and Gaza out of existence since last week.
3. In fact, Israel had been after the Palestinians all the time, if not wipe out the Palestinians altogether, for the past 70 years and suddenly now, after launching air strikes day and night, Palestinians blames for the blast on the hospital.
4. Biden’s narrative is based on feedbacks from Nethanyahu and Pentagon.
5. Obviously Nethanyahu lies about everything. And if Biden wants to use Pentagon to give credence to his narrative, we have not forgotten how Pentagon and other American institutions lied about the existence of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq. 6.
A more recent lie is about Biden claiming to have seen pictures of Hamas beheading babies.
7. Indeed, the White House had withdrawn the statement, admitting that there was no proof of such a deed. The question is how Biden could blatantly lie in the first place and with a straight face.
8. The crux of the matter is that all these atrocities committed by Israel on the Palestinians stems from the American support for Tel Aviv.
9. If the American Government withdraws its support for Israel and stop all military aids to the regime, Israel would not have carried out the genocide and mass murders of Palestinians with impunity.
10. The United States government needs to come clean and tell the truth. Israel and its IDF are the terrorists. The United States is blatantly supporting terrorists. So what is the United States?

The little Indian money-juggler neither looks nor sounds, nor thinks, like a prime minister. Just another puppet of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby.
If the Conservative Party loses both of today’s by-elections, he will —must— surely step down as Con Party leader. I think it would have to be both, though, to trigger any resignation; only one, and he will be able to stagger on.
Musing about Sunak, one wonders what would be there without the enormous amounts of money he has (mainly via his ultra-wealthy wife). What would there be left? A diminutive Indian more like a “chai wallah” than a prime minister.
Only 3-4 years ago, Sunak was seen as some kind of great non-white hope for the country, as he doled out money for millions of people to stay at home on full pay or three-quarter pay, scared of a virus no more dangerous than influenza. Now? Totally washed-up.

“Israel has denied it was responsible for the blast at a hospital in Gaza that the Hamas claims killed at least 500 people and has more trapped under rubble
Video from the hospital showed fire engulfing the building and the hospital’s grounds strewn with bodies, many of them young children. Hundreds of people were reportedly seeking shelter at the hospital at the time of the blast, which Hamas has called a ‘horrific massacre’ and a ‘crime of genocide‘.”
More about the Israeli attack on a hospital. Worth reading not least because Jew-Zionists in the UK, USA etc are still claiming that the Palestinian side was responsible via a “failed rocket” of some sort.

BBC's John Donnison: "It's hard to see what else this could be, really, given the size of the explosion, other than an Israeli air strike, or several air strikes" pic.twitter.com/Gxx4evC9DW
Israel is lying through its teeth to blame the hospital massacre in Gaza on Hamas. Neither Hamas has that powerful rocket nor has there been any second explosion of stored explosives to pass on the blame. Netanyahu's murderous hubris has brought this disgrace to Israel.
Most Israelis are not descended from ancient “Israelites” but from Khazars:
Much of the WW2 “holocaust” narrative, used to give legitimacy to the migration-invasion of Palestine by Jews in the mid/late 1940s, is not true, notably the “gas chambers” fable;
The migration-invasion of Palestine by Jews in the mid/late 1940s was neither necessary nor justified. Jews massacred large numbers of Palestinian Arabs, and buried the bodies in mass graves, afterwards stealing the land, houses, apartments etc of the murdered victims.
The “holocaust” narrative is still, 80 years on, being used as cover for the continuing Israeli/Jewish military and other crimes.
Anna Botting gives an outstanding and brave example of how genuine journalism can expose truth from questions.
The accuracy of the questions expose the truth to the lies of the answers.
Jew-Zionist loony and troublemaker pretends to fear “a worldwide pogrom“. I suppose that I should not comment.
Same loony seems to think that the inhuman destruction of the hospital in Gaza should not be noted or criticized because it is a so-called “blood libel” (the mediaeval belief that some Jews killed and/or ate European children).
In any case, even if we leave aside the hospital attack and the 500+ killed there, look at what the Israeli Jews are doing generally in Gaza. Massive destruction. Massive attacks on areas full of civilians, about half of which are children, and a quarter of which are young children under 11 or 12 years of age. Also, the cutting off of water supplies, food supplies, gas, electricity, medical supplies etc.
Meanwhile, in the UK, several people individually (including me) are being prosecuted under a law (Communications Act 2003, s.127) which is so open to abuse (mainly from Jewish/Zionist cabals) that the Law Commission has officially recommended its repeal.
I should add, belatedly, that my alleged sins are said to date from 2020 and 2021— nothing to do with the present Israel/Palestine situation.

Of course, both China and Russia are hardly known for human rights, but then look at the USA: Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Guantanamo Bay, the bombing of civilians (admittedly nowhere near the Israeli level. Israel is beyond the pale).
Russia demands that Israel present satellite images of the explosion in the hospital.

Sounds like a fairly moronic individual. Director of an engineering company called GEFCO, formerly owned by Russian interests.
In that report, the photo shows him wearing a blue suit with two military medals (in the Russian fashion, too, i.e. the actual medals, not just the ribbons).
The medals appear to be (the photo is not very clear) the equivalent of “campaign” medals, one for Iraq and one for service of at least 30 days with the NATO force in Kosovo. I am not very well-informed about medals, so I may not be quite right about that.
I find the Tamworth by-election hard to call. I think that it must be between Con and Lab. I think that it may be close, but Labour has a pretty good chance here.
What interests me is the question “if both by-elections are lost, will Sunak resign, or at least face calls to resign?”

DOUBLE BY-ELECTION DEFEAT FOR TORIES
@SkyNews obtained a memo to Greg Hands outlining concerns that the party's vote share could halve in both Tamworth & Mid Beds by-elections tomorrow, ending in the loss of both seats.
I'm indeed very confident of a Lib Dem win. I've knocked on hundreds of doors where there are very disgruntled Tory voters who'll either stay at home, or vote Lib Dem. Only a handful would even consider voting Labour. The Tories are going to lose, and Labour can't win in Mid Beds
Well, who knows? With a day to go, there seems all to play for, not only for Lab and Con, but for the LibDems too.
At a guess, I too would have looked (pre-2020) at the Cons as the most likely choice by far (Nadine Dorries scored almost 60% in 2019), but people even in very “Conservative” areas are now mightily angry (mixed with apathy in view of the convergence of most Con/Lab policy). Not sure whether those former Con voters will vote Lab, though. I am inclined to think abstention or voting LibDem might be more popular.
The betting markets are often wrong on by-elections. Still, at present the betting exchanges have the Cons odds-on, Labour around 3/1 and LibDems around 5/1.
Sounds plausible, but that LibDem bet at 5/1 could be value.

More about Tamworth
Further research into the Conservative Party candidate seems to confirm my earlier comments about his medals (Iraq and Kosovo): he enlisted in the Staffordshire Regiment, and served for 6 years. His final rank was Lance Corporal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-cooper-38367816a/?originalSubdomain=uk, and it seems that his specialism was as a sniper.
Cooper himself self-describes as “Progressing from Sniper to Lance Corporal in the Staffordshire Regiment of the British Army. Completing tours such as Iraq, Kenya, Kosovo and Bosnia performing duties including surveillance, target acquisition and official duties in France for Queen Elizabeth II“; and
“Experienced, effective and diligent Railway Engineer with a strong track record in the sector following on from a distinguished military career. I specialise in railway maintenance and asset management but also have significant experience of railway engineering projects.”
Cooper having been a railway engineer for 17 years, I should think that he does a lot more good in that field than he might as an MP.
Well, there it is. We shall know the result late tomorrow, or early on Friday.
I think that Labour will win at Tamworth; not so sure about who will win in Mid-Beds. The bookmakers prefer Labour at Tamworth, and the Cons in Mid-Bedfordshire.

“FAZ: Russia is using the situation in Israel to discredit the United States and distract attention from Ukraine.
After the Hamas attack, the Russian President, on the one hand, spoke out for Israel’s right to defend itself, on the other hand, he condemned the blockade of Gaza, comparing it to Leningrad, and confirmed his commitment to the two-state principle.
Despite the fact that Russia has good contacts in the region and called for de-escalation of the conflict, Western countries in the UN Security Council rejected Moscow’s proposal. Frankfurter Allgemeine explains this by saying that Russia has intentions to use the new conflict to its advantage. The newspaper points out that the Russian president calls the situation in Israel “a striking example of the failure of US policy in the Middle East” and accuses Washington of not taking the “fundamental interests of the Palestinian people” into account.
In addition, according to the German newspaper, the Kremlin is using the conflict to divert attention from Ukraine. “The prospect that Israel will now receive Western weapons and ammunition that Kyiv might otherwise receive is emboldening the power apparatus and the media” in Russia.
Moscow also benefits from rising oil prices, which fill government finances.“

“America has been condoning Israeli war crimes for years, recalls Scott Ritter It is not unusual that the Israeli military bombed a hospital in Gaza, killing 500 people.
Such tactics are consistent with the IDF’s “Mowing the Grass” doctrine, which involves disproportionate violence against not only militants, but also civilians, including children, US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.
At the same time, he said, Washington is in no hurry to introduce an embargo, stop or at least criticize Tel Aviv, whose army is actually committing war crimes with the help of American weapons. Moreover, the United States has been turning a blind eye to this fact for many years. “We know what Israel is doing. We support what Israel is doing, so any talk in the US about compassion for the Palestinian population is one hundred percent false. We have never sympathized with the Palestinians. We have always supported Israel’s perspective and strategic goals, even if they include the “Cut the Grass” policy,” Ritter emphasized.”
However, the United Nations has warned that the ‘spectre of death’ looms over Gaza as hundreds of thousands continue fleeing from the expected Israeli invasion.
Supplies of food, water, fuel and medicines are running dangerously low after Israel imposed blockades on the Palestinian territory.“

A sign of the times.
In 2023, the proper word for the UK is “occupied”…
I do not have much time for any sort of Arabs as a group, any more than I have much time for Israelis or Jews generally (i.e. as a group). Both groups have their positive and negative points. However, both what the Israeli state is doing to the civilians in Gaza, and how the Jews elsewhere in the world are justifying that, is just evil and, in a word, inhuman.
I am reminded of someone I knew slightly in the early 1980s, about 1984-1985, when I belonged to the (now long-defunct, I believe) Kensington Rifle and Pistol Club. I suppose that he was about 55-60. I cannot recall his name.
Born in Gaza (I think) and an odd (?) mixture, half-Palestinian Arab, half-Russian, he was a pretty good pistol shot, and worked as a civil servant. I remember that, one evening, at the Club bar, he invited me to go, on some unspecified future day, to meet his (I think English) wife, but he died unexpectedly not long after, and in an unusual way.
The individual of which I speak worked at a government office very close to Lambeth North Underground Station. Co-incidentally, I myself was also there quite often, because I took part-time (a couple of evenings per week) Russian and German at nearby Morley College in Westminster Bridge Road.
There are or were no escalators at that station, only a large and ancient lift. I sometimes ran up the (about 90-100) stairs to the top, for exercise. It seems that the Russian-Palestinian fellow had no choice but to climb the stairs one day when the lift was out of operation. He got to the top, but suffered a heart attack and died there. The Evening Standard had a small story about it. I regretted being unable to offer his wife my condolences, not knowing her address or telephone number, and never having met her.
That Russian-Palestinian man had told me over a drink at the Club bar about how, in the Palestinian refugee camps of the day (1980s), sanitation and water supply were very basic, probably more so even than today (until a week or two ago, anyway), and how if a child lived to age 2, he or she was almost invulnerable to disease caused via bacteria, because the immunity was so strong. He himself cannot have been born in such a camp, though, because he must have been born in the 1920s, maybe early 1930s, before the Nakba (the late 1940s ethnic cleansing carried out by the Jews).

It is now an ethical duty for those who have any kind of public platform, even one as relatively little-seen as my blog, to stand up against the Israeli war machine and repression apparat.
If the intention of the Israeli government is to seize about half of the already-crowded Gaza Strip, and to force the 2 million inhabitants (half of whom are under-18) to exist somehow in the remaining half —or even third— that would create social and living conditions far far worse than those seen even in the much-publicized Warsaw Ghetto of the early 1940s.

What “Westerners” are up against here is the mindset of a tribal people whose designated ancient history, and religious celebrations right up to the present-day, are largely about ethnic supremacism, ethnic cleansing, wars against other peoples etc. Look at the Old Testament.
Those who, like most white Northern Europeans, think by default as post-Enlightenment liberals, do not understand much of the Israeli mindset, which somehow bypasses those liberalistic Enlightenment values, just as Hebrew, a dead language in the 19th Century, was deliberately resurrected for use in the 20th/21st centuries.

Thick part-Jew trustafarian Zac Goldsmith seems unaware that Mandela was tried, convicted, and imprisoned not for his simplistic and stupid political views, but for conspiring to start a terror campaign and race war in South Africa: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivonia_Trial.
At that trial, the defendants were all Africans or Jews, and the defence lawyers were almost all Jewish. One defendant was acquitted at the direction of the trial judge.
Incidentally, Mandela was allowed to give a three-hour-long speech from the dock. Try doing that in the UK of 2023!
“At the beginning of the defence’s proceedings, Nelson Mandela gave a three-hour speech from the defendant’s dock, in which he explained and defended the ANC’s key political positions.
He justified the movement’s decision, in view of the increasing restrictions on permitted political activity on the part of non-White Africans, to go beyond its earlier use of constitutional methods and Gandhian non-violent opposition to the state, embracing a campaign of sabotage against property (designed to minimize risks of injury and death), while also starting to train a military wing for possible future use.” [Wikipedia].

According to Malcolm Rifkind the Israeli government is not ordering civilians in Gaza to move south. It is simply a suggestion. A matter of common sense. We would appear to be in the ugly Tory moral territory of Rees-Mogg on the people who died in the Grenfell Tower fire.

What about the UK-based Jew-Zionists applauding the slaughter of civilians (many of them children) in Gaza, whether or not those Jews usually say, in effect, “oh dear, how sad, never mind” (and place the blame with the Gazans for not surrendering every last vestige of human rights to the Israeli ethnostate)?
Suella Braverman is Priti Patel Mark 2: plenty of tough words about the cross-Channel migrant-invaders, but little action, little plausible policy, and completely in the pocket of the Jewish/Israel lobby. Another waste of space.
So Israel should right the wrongs that they can. Don't expect a people to peacefully accept dispossession and life in a concentration camp.

There is nothing much that the Palestinian Arabs can do to counter the massive Israeli military force in the field. They do not have jet fighters, tanks etc. However, in the close confines of Gaza, especially Gaza City, it may be a different story, one more akin to some of the battles seen over the past year in Ukraine; or at Stalingrad 80/81 years ago.
Well, not so good this week: 4/10, though that was still enough for me to beat, yet again, political journalist John Rentoul (who scored 3/10). I knew the answers to questions 1, 6, 7, and 9.
The NWO/ZOG conspiracy has been exposed —yet again— in the past week. The masks really have come off. Von der Leyen, Macron, Nigel Farage etc, as well as more obvious puppets of Israel and the Jewish lobby such as Starmer, Sunak, and the “tail wags dog” American government and msm.
Tommy Robinson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Robinson_(activist)] gives his opinion. He claims, with reasonable plausibility, that he is not getting money directly from Israel (though that leaves in the air the question of from where he does get the money upon which he lives in his Spanish exile).
I slightly sympathize with “Robinson’s'” dislike of Hamas and even Fatah, but he seems unaware or uncaring about the strategic “big picture” that has unfolded since 1948 in Israel/Palestine.
I should be interested to see a similar graphic, I suppose it would have to be an ordinary graph, showing the amount and/or proportion of the UK economy controlled by Jewish interests in 1890, 1923, 1956, 1989, and this year.
“Robinson” might care to factor-in to his future comments the question of which group or groups control the political and msm narrative(s) in the UK, and in the West more generally. Not Hamas or Fatah, and not —most of the time— the Muslim community or communities, but mainly the Jewish lobby and/or Israel lobby.
If the Palestinians supporting Hamas (etc) are monstrous, they have been made monstrous— by Israel.

I’ll be totally honest: I never expected large scale ‘population transfers’ of more than a million people gleefully given green light by Western governments in the 21st C
It’ll take months but beneficiaries are Russia & China. The West has just jettisoned any moral authority.
That is probably the first time I have ever agreed completely with anything tweeted by Aaron Bastani. Perhaps I should have it framed.
The West has lost moral authority. That is what happens when your governments are corrupted by Jew-Zionism not only in the Middle East but also in our own countries; in the UK, USA, France, Germany etc.
I should date the loss of American moral authority specifically (despite all that has happened since 1776) mainly to the events that happened in Iraq and Afghanistan a couple of decades ago, and what flowed from those invasions. The terrible Abu Ghraib, Bagram and other torture programmes, including so-called “extraordinary rendition”; also including the concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay.

Saw many tweets etc against the Jew Shapps; a few in his favour, too. What strikes me as incredible is that many discuss his words as if the fact that he is a Jew (indeed a fanatical Zionist Jew) is not really relevant! “After all, he has a UK passport“, “he was born in the UK, in Hertfordshire” etc…
At least with the Israeli Jews in positions of political authority, you know that almost all of them have been in uniform, and quite a few have seen action (i.e. what you see is more or less what you get) but in Britain we now have the Shapps type, who really know nothing about defence or anything else. Not only Jews, incidentally— look at, to name only one other, Gavin Williamson. I blogged about him 4+ years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/.
Actually, Britain cannot “go to war” anyway. For that, you need a functioning Army, Navy, and Air Force. Our very-reduced armed forces are now almost powerless, and indeed almost useless. In fact, I begin to wonder what is the point of even having them. Our very borders are open to any who wish to cross the Channel in a rubber boat. Migration invasion.
Grant Shapps, transport secretary who failed to keep HS2 costs under control. Rewarded as defence Secretary. This is what we live in.
Needless to say, Matthew Parris fails to note that Shapps is a Jewish Zionist. I suppose that Parris wants to keep his job; anyone even noting en passant whether someone, even someone as incompetent and dishonest as Shapps, is a Jew, faces loss of job, loss of money, etc, maybe even prosecution…in fact, the Zionists rely on that kind of intimidation (in Europe, where the Jews have no Israeli Defence Force or secret police with which to frighten people).
Since the recent Gaza events, I have seen several tweets by well-known Jews in the UK effectively threatening to report to police, presumably to those police playing at “counter-terrorism”, anyone criticizing the Israeli actions.
Typical.
Incidentally, I have today seen tweets by Jews in the UK who support the Israeli actions, one saying that “In 2008, during [Operation] Cast Lead, Hamas had rockets that could only go a few kilometers. Now they can go 250 km. In 2008, Hamas didn’t have drones, amphibious assault teams, anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles. Now they do.“
I agree with that. The operational capabilities of Israel’s enemies, both in Palestine and elsewhere, have grown greatly. The population of Tel Aviv will, sooner or later, be protected from air attack little more than is, now, the unfortunate population of Gaza.
In the old proverb, “old sins cast long shadows“…

Very English (to remove the flag, rather than… well, ’nuff said…).
The virtue-signallers have moved on. “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) is no longer flavour of the month. Now it is Israel (oddly; after all, a vast mechanized war machine is attacking a largely-unarmed civilian population, half of which is under18 years of age).
The whole of Avdeevka is burning, heavy fighting is taking place, the Russians are advancing for 4 days.

In other words, the Americans (US Govt, not ordinary Americans) are going to allow the Israeli Jews a “free hit” on the population of Gaza, half of whom are under 18, and at least quarter of whom are young or very young (0-12) in age.
It's incredibly rare in our modern politics for someone to rise above Party tribalism and act purely on their principles. Whether you agree with him or not, that is what Crispin Blunt is doing here.#IsraelPalestineConflicthttps://t.co/zNLVhqkl6X
We’re into the eighth day of Israel’s assault on Gaza now and so far they have killed about 700 children. That’s an average of 100 PALESTINIAN CHILDREN KILLED EVERY DAY!!!
Genocide doesn’t even go far enough to express this reality.
While “technically” perhaps not genocide, this is at least quasi-genocide.
Again it strikes me that, while the Israeli Jews kill tens of thousands (which may eventually be hundreds of thousands) in Gaza, the most vocal-on-social-media Jews in England are whining (and lying) about how they and their neighbours etc are “fearful” or “afraid“, or even “terrified” of (very limited, mostly “defensive” and only very rarely physically-manifested) “antisemitism” in the UK.
Most probably she's injured and permanently deaf now. Animals, the most innocent casualties of war.

What a horrible old bastard. He even says that Jews in Israel who have any Arab neighbours should go to those neighbours and kill them.
Ingrained psychosis.

The Israeli army continues to delay the start of the ground military operation in the Gaza Strip.
Now the IDF command has announced that the army will launch a ground operation after assessing the number of residents remaining in the enclave.
“The Israeli army continues to delay the start of the ground military operation in the Gaza Strip.
Now the IDF command has announced that the army will launch a ground operation after assessing the number of residents remaining in the enclave. The ID command had not previously mentioned such a condition. But the world community’s reaction to the events in the Gaza Strip could not but affect Netanyahu and his entourage.
Therefore, for the time being, the decision was made to achieve the evacuation of only the majority of the population from the enclave.
According to numerous Arabic TV channels, more than 800 thousand people have now left the northern Gaza Strip. However, a significant number of civilians still remain in the enclave. If Israel launches a military operation while there are hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Gaza Strip, it will lead to tragic consequences for the population.
In addition, the Israeli authorities fear the risks associated with the start of a ground operation, involving new participants in the conflict, after which the IDF will have to fight on two, and even three or four fronts. In addition, there is a high probability that the US will not become directly involved in an armed conflict.
Therefore, Israel seems to be delaying the start of the operation not to estimate the number of civilian population in Gaza, towards which the Israeli authorities have long shown indifference, but to assess the real prospects and risks of an invasion.”
Many of the “foreign citizens” are in fact Jews. They flee, panic-stricken.

They lie a lot to find justification for their crimes committed against the Palestinian people
Stray thought about Gaza, Israeli “military action”, and social media
What strikes me most about the UK Jew-Zionist outpourings on Twitter/”X” is the sheer sadism and hatred many of the Jew-Zionists are putting out. Many of them are gloating about how the civilians of Gaza are about to be crushed, subjected to pain and devastation etc.
Many Jew-Zionists are effectively or actually saying that the Gazan population (half of whom are under 18, and at least a quarter of whom are young or very young children) deserve to be wiped out or, more euphemistically, “taught a lesson they will never forget“.
What makes their comments even more contemptible is that the said Jew-Zionists are sitting in comfort in places such as North-West London, or in other suburban enclaves. They cannot wait for the poor, repressed, and helpless population of Gaza to be killed or injured; they themselves are in no danger, yet they are now already pretending to be “victims” and/or “fearful” that they will somehow be subjected to a pogrom in the UK!
It seems to be an ingrained psychological disorder.

Israel's military issued an evacuation order to Palestinians in Gaza, in its strongest hint yet that it prepares to launch a ground offensive almost a week after Hamas's surprise assault.
– ‘We have nowhere to go’: Gaza reacts to 24-hour warning to evacuate – US defence secretary arrives in Israel – Israel has right to ‘go after’ Hamas, says Shapps
Israel ordered the evacuation of more than a million civilians from the entire northern half of Gaza. The UN said the order would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences,” and Gazan officials told Palestinians not to comply.

“The Israeli-Palestinian conflict distracts the West from Ukraine – expert It was no coincidence that the Hamas attack on Israel occurred on Vladimir Putin’s birthday, German expert Thomas Jaeger said in an interview with N-TV.
According to him, Russia is benefiting greatly from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Moscow hopes that Western attention and, accordingly, military forces will now be redirected from Ukraine to the Middle East. As a result, support for Kyiv will weaken, and this, in turn, will open the way to victory for the Kremlin.
At the same time, the main events are now unfolding in the United States, where Congress cannot agree on a budget containing financial assistance for Ukraine. The results of this political chaos will predetermine the further development of events.”
YouGov Scottish Westminster Voting Intention:
SNP 33% (-5) Lab 32% (+5) C 20% (+4) LD 5% (-2) Green 5% (-1) Reform 2% (-2)
Fed into Electoral Calculus, the result of such a general election would be: Labour on 504 seats, Conservatives on 64 seats, LibDems on 27, SNP 32, Green 1 (plus a few Welsh and Northern Irish). Overall Labour majority of 358.
That would be a complete elected dictatorship, and one brought about not because voters really like Labour, but because the new multicoloured fake “Conservative” Party is not so much hated as despised (as useless). A Labour Party elected dictatorship by default.
The Conservative Party reduced to 64 seats. Existential peril?

The Jew-Zionists making up atrocity stories, while themselves carrying out real atrocities. Makes one muse anew about all those fake “holocaust” stories and hoaxes. There are thousands of them.
The Met Police says there has been a 650% increase in reports of anti-Semitism over the last two weeks compared to the same period last year.
Imagine the level of entitlement it takes for Jew-Zionists to sit in the UK, cheerleading the Gaza devastation and slaughter, and at the same time imagining themselves to be somehow “victims”, and demanding the sympathy of the population, police, and courts.

“The Ukrainian counteroffensive is over; the Russian Armed Forces have already switched to active combat operations on almost the entire front several days ago.
This was stated by Russia’s permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya. “For several days now, Russian troops have switched to active combat operations along almost the entire front line. Thus, the so-called Ukrainian counter-offensive can already be formally considered completed,” the permanent representative said at the Security Council meeting.
According to Nebenzi, this cost Kyiv tens of thousands of mobilized recruits, most of whom did not want to take part in the fighting.“
