Hassan Yousef is a prisoner of Israel & has been held captive by them since Oct 2023.
How did Matthew Knott manage to communicate with a prisoner inside an Israeli prison? 🤔
Who initated the idea?
Who organised it?
And how was this alleged statement obtained from the prisoner?
By what means?

if you want a history of the science behind the role of horseshoe crab blood and vaccine safety, i've got you covered. Jack Levin, who developed the assay, wrote to me to say it was the most accurate coverage he'd ever seen of his discovery:

This regime kills people queuing for aid, after forcing them to choke points by starvation. We must end the two way arms trade and introduce sanctions. Free Palestine.

Overnight Israel attacked a school being used as a shelter by families displaced from their homes. They bombed the centre while the people inside were sleeping.
Israel then waited until emergency workers & volunteers arrived to rescue survivors & they bombed it again.

🚨25 women and have already been killed in 2025. 103 women and 16 children were killed in 2024. Men’s violence against women is domestic terrorism.
Women and children‘s safety needs to take centre stage in this election yet neither major party has announced any additional measures.

Superb work from Aaron re the Libs' candidate to win back Kooyong.
A tip off arrived a while ago. A BIG one.
"Amelia Hamer is a named beneficiary of a trust worth millions."
But is it true, and what does it add to the mounting deception from the self-styled millennial renter?

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

FWIW, I disapprove of both butter and peanut butter being spread together on the same slice of bread. This culinary crime can only be made worse by the use of smooth peanut butter.
