If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Porsche has scrapped its sales targets for EVs amid a slump in demand. A previous goal of 80% by 2030 has been watered down and the company now says sales will depend on uptake and how the technology develops.

?Mission-Driven? Government is the Antithesis of Liberty Tue Jul 23, 2024 17:30 | Dr David McGrogan
Labour is "mission-driven", says Keir Starmer. But the last thing anyone should want is a Government with a mission, says David McGrogan. That's because a Government with a mission needs conscripts. That's you and me.

"Thirteen Israeli air strikes hit Gaza Strip" http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8600285.stm
"Israeli warplanes fire on Gaza, 3 children injured" http://maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=273472
"Israel threatens new Gaza offensive" http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2010/04/20....html
Since the Israelis have continuously threatened to attack Gaza again, why wouldn't Hamas be arming themselves?
we must also look at what the other saying
look at it all you want.
The problem for Israel is that it has been caught lying so many times that no one puts much weight on it's protestations of innocence - that's what happens when you prove yourself to be pathological liars
Alan Derschowitz, in his rabid-ranting against Goldstone, inadvertently voices legal grounds for 'Crimes Against Humanity' prosecutions of members of Israeli 'Legal' system, the Israeli military, Israeli Police, and of course various members of the utterly corrupt and criminal Israeli Political Establishment
http://www.jpost.com/Magazine/Features/Article.aspx?id=...76086
Although the excerable Derschowitz attempted to qualify his statement by inserting the weasel-phrase "Particularly torture that had nothing to do with national security" it is meaningless as there are NO exemptions to the International prohibitions against Torture - simply blithely claiming that it is a 'matter of national security', as Israel does in defense of it's wide-spread use of torture, does not in any way protect Israelis from future prosecution for their vile acts of torture.
Despite the rulings of some Israeli courts, torture is accepted and widespread in Israel and many Judges and lawyers in Israel openly collude in the practice.
http://baltimorechronicle.com/2010/022310Lendman.shtml
Despite a landmark decision on September 6, 1999 by the Israeli High Court law outlawing the use of arbitrary torture as an interrogation method, which revealed Israel as the only ‘democratic’ state in the world that permitted torture by law, methods of torture are still applied by Israeli interrogators of Palestinian detainees.
These methods include violent shaking, isolation, beating, kicking, sleep deprivation, agonizing positioning and infliction of pain for prolonged periods of time. The notorious Landau Commission Recommendations of 1987 approved the use of ‘moderate physical pressure and non-violent psychological pressure’ during the interrogation of Palestinian detainees. Landau Commission Recommendations override the Israeli High Court law by labelling Israel’s designation of the Palestinian Territories as ‘exceptional’ circumstances, thus providing justification for their deire to use what they euphemistically label ‘protective defense policies’ and their desire to conduct ‘effective investigations’ in order to ensure 'security.'
In cases that Israel practiced torture against Palestinian prisoners, explanations and justifications have been based on the necessity of torture due to these ‘exceptional circumstances’. Confessions extracted through torture are admissible in Israeli court. B’Tselem (the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories) reports that over 85% of Palestinian detainees are tortured during interrogation. TRC’s statistics reveal that 40% of those who are tortured suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
State and Security Services sanctioned Torture is an integral Israeli value - it appears in practice, to have the full support of the Israeli 'Legal' system, the Israeli military, Israeli Police, and of course various members of the utterly corrupt and criminal Israeli Political Establishment
Israelis beat and torture and kill Palestinian children.

hb has a case,tza-me.If you make a habit of screaming anti-semitism every time someone spills your drink aint nobody gonna listen when your home-grown gestapo take you downtown.Its time Israel took genesis out of its ears and read Darwin.Then the state set up to give refuge to the victims of Euro-fascism might just realise all states can become their peoples public enemy number one.Its just one of the risks of democracy.
The discrepancy between Israeli moral posturing and and its actual behaviour is transparent to any but the most self-destructively insecure.
