The sheer vulgarity of the “Zionists” is always slightly shocking, even after having seen examples of it for decades.
See previous comment.
[From 2015].
Their true nature, some might say. Others might claim only a minority are that bad.
As the report notes, Israeli security and police were investigating the matter, if only because it showed the Israeli Jews and state in an even worse light.
I suppose that, also, the dangers facing the Israeli state are only partly from outside its borders. A civil/racial/ideological war inside its borders is by no means unthinkable. Such a civil war might be triggered by such atrocities.
I do not know whether anything happened afterward, or whether any of the Jews were punished; I doubt any were, at least not much.

Israeli Jews when not playing the “victim” card…
The post-Mao transformation of China crept up on me; I was not fully aware of it (though I started to sense it in the early 1980s) even after I made my last visit to Hong Kong (I also went to Macau) in 2006. Since then, I have tried to see and learn more.
Sometime in the early 1980s, a couple of friends took on the “opportunity” of delivering telephone directories in SE London, using their private car. I think only Yellow Pages. I recall visiting their house not long afterwards, and seeing the whole place packed with the thick directories. Floor to ceiling. Thousands of them. Feeling sorry for them, I foolishly offered to help them for a day. Good grief! Katorga (hard hard work, like being a galley slave).
I especially recall visiting Greenwich with them. In those days, very mixed. The elegant 18thC house of a Lady or Countess Somebody or other (I noticed a grand piano in her drawing room; glimpsed through a window) but, only one street away, 1930s council flats, very dilapidated-looking.
Out of one such flat emerged a fat black woman without shoes, barefooted on the dirty concrete floor of a communal balcony, and she demanded two directories (God knows why; maybe to use as doorstops?).
Terrible. I recall (as repeated observer) from maybe 2011/2012 how bad much of the NHS hospital service was then (not all, though). God knows how much worse it is in 2024. I pity anyone having to endure one of the maladministered, dirty hospitals run by the NHS, even though I support the “free at point of use” principle, and recognize that some of the doctors and nurses are stellar.
Unless something (but what?) changes very soon, the Conservative Party is going to be pretty much wiped out at the upcoming General Election.
“European states must become more Finnish. In other words, more prepared. You have to prepare for the worst to avoid it,” Stubb said. Alexander Stubb also said Kyiv’s support in the coming months is paramount as Putin “feels very confident and is targeting a window of opportunity to break through Ukraine’s defenses between now and September.””
Finns are not known for their brainpower, speaking generally, but this takes the biscuit, notwithstanding Stubb’s paper qualifications. Does this Stubb really think that there would be anything left of Finland were a major war to occur?
I see now that Stubb is from the Swedish minority in Finland (traditionally more affluent and better-educated than the majority Finnish population): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Stubb. Obviously plugged-in to the transnational NWO agenda.
Journalistic standards (fall ever-lower)
The standards of literacy in both online and “real” newspapers slide ever-lower. Look at this, from the online platform of a long-established local newspaper chain:
“Police hunt after men try to rob teen’s expensive coat, police say” [headline]
How do you “rob a coat“? Did the coat fight back at all?
“Police have launched an appeal after masked men with knives are said to have tried to get robbed a teen’s expensive coat” [first line of the report].
Where does one even start? Jesus H. Christ! To think that that “journalist” (semi-literate scribbler) probably has a degree, maybe/probably a degree in journalism. What can one say?
More tweets
Unless I have missed out some part of the graphic, that is a plurality, not a “majority“; still, significant, bearing in mind the “usual” (((usual))) bias of the American mainstream media.
That means that at least 32% of the people of the UK have no idea at all how unutterably terrible and nasty would be life in the UK after even a limited nuclear attack (if that were the cause of the collapse).
That terrible and nasty existence might (for the survivors) continue for decades; maybe even longer, depending on the level of destruction, how widespread it were, and the level of radiation.
Other causes of a civilizational collapse might lead to quicker recovery (eg were the poles to shift), but a decent level of living might not be resumed (or created), for many decades, all the same.

Does that mean “unbeatable“? As for “escalation“, what was the destruction of Iran’s embassy in Damascus? An attack on not one but two sovereign neighbouring states, simultaneously.
If all the Arab states, plus Iran, and plus the Palestinian Arabs in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza, turned on Israel at the same time, the Israeli state would be finished. The Arabs, and also non-Arab Muslims in the region, however, have always been disunited.
Flares. Does that mean there has been a ground incursion?
“The Supreme Commander of NATO forces in Europe, American General Christopher Cavoli, stated that the size of the Russian army has increased during the conflict with Ukraine, and that Russia will soon be able to fire ten times more artillery shells than the Kiev forces.
“The [Russian] military is actually 15 percent larger now than when Special Military Operations began”, Cavoli said during a hearing before the House Armed Services Committee. – “All in all, Russia is on its way to commanding the largest army on the continent,” Cavoli said and added that, “regardless of the outcome of the conflict in Ukraine, Russia will be bigger, deadlier and angrier at the West than before the escalation of the conflict.”
“Russia is winning and growing stronger despite the efforts of the West— Indian analyst.
Many countries receive information about the Ukrainian conflict through the prism of Western propaganda. It contains many myths that need to be debunked, writes former UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs official Arjun Katoch in an article for The Print.
In particular, according to the analyst, contrary to the claims of Western media, Moscow is winning the confrontation with Kiev and its overseas sponsors.
After the “impressive failure” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ summer campaign and the liberation of Avdievka, the Russians are advancing along the entire front line, even in the current mud season.
“The Ukrainian army is being destroyed, and no amount of help can save it,” the author of the article emphasizes. “Russia will win this war; the only question now is how far west its troops will advance,” he adds.
The journalist also debunks the idea that the conflict is weakening Russia. Sanctions forced the country to focus on developing its own industry and reorient itself to the east. But as a result, its economy has outpaced the EU’s in growth, and defense production has grown exponentially, allowing Moscow to supply its troops with modern weapons and ammunition much faster than the West can supply the Ukrainians.
“Russia will emerge from this war with a battle-tested, most well-equipped and combat-ready army in Europe. So it’s certainly not getting weaker,” Katoch notes.“
