Israel bans white Western journalists from Gaza (I have volunteered to go there) so it can murder brown Arab journalists with impunity - mind you, I'd say they'd have no qualms about killing us too, if they had the chance.
And the West's response? Silence and complicity.

Three journalists on their way to film a displacement camp in central Gaza were among at least 11 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces on Wednesday. Their vehicle was known to the Israeli military and their work was sponsored by the Egyptian Relief Committee www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

About 25 feet (7.5m) up in the canopy of an Irish Atlantic rainforest, a wonderful profusion of epiphytic lichens and mosses.
These places are ecological treasurehouses, are almost all gone, yet are *still* mostly being allowed to just die off through overgrazing.
What the hell is *wrong* with us?

Imagine Russia did this, it would make headlines everywhere.
But because it's Israel, has the EU said anything about this atrocity? No, not one word.
In fact, they'll still ensure that the EU-ISRAEL trade agreement remains in place without any hindrance and zero sanctions.

In Scotland, people are (very rightly) unhappy that only 4% natural woodland cover remains.
Spare a thought for poor Ireland, at around a mere 1%.
Nowhere else on Earth is in such desperate need of rewilding.

Where are the trees?
We have A LOT of this landscape and less than 4% native woodland. This should be a rich mosaic of habitats, moor, bog, woodland, montane scrub…We force it to remain in this artificial state. We don’t need to give every inch of our uplands over to sheep, grouse and deer stalking.
