Imperialist wars of aggression are bad. Ukraine is one. Palestine is another. If Russia/Israel win, Ukraine/Palestine are no more.
If you're fine with one and against the other, please unfollow/don't follow. You're pro-genocide or anti-genocide, there's no "but just one little genocide plz?" to it.

That is quite toryesque, if an entire Tory gov was just many clones of Michael Gove stabbing other Michael Goves in the back.
This is even funnier than it just being Streeting on manoeuvres.

The main findings were that the ban "would likely be viewed positively by the majority of UK communities", but there would be "widespread criticism from the British Muslim community" and specific interest groups

I really wish you guys would experiment on yourselves before advocating dangerous "remedies" on small children.
Water. Use lots of water. You are washing it out, not neutralising it. Milk will not neutralise it either, but it has a good chance of causing an eye infection.

Cool milk applied to the afflicted areas will immediately bring relief from the burning and heat of pepper spray in the eyes and on the skin. The active is Capsicum oil. Applying water to the area makes things worse by spreading the stinging oil further. Diluted baby shampoo will wash it off too

They are going to get that guy assassinated by some idiot who believes their nonsense and probably then a) blame it on NYC's crime rate, b) blame said crime rate on Mamdani (even if he's still not actually the mayor), and c) breathe a sigh of relief.

Uhm, I think the problem there is the spectacular demonstration of Israel's values over the past two years of slaughter.
Full text of the Erdan post here. They are increasingly realizing that US-Israel relations are due for a change. I think they will struggle with the "rebrand" inasmuch as "younger" and "minority" Americans have protest repression in recent memory.
