These are the pants of Palestinian child Jawad Abu Nasser, a child in Gaza who was tortured by Israeli soldiers, and they now stand as evidence of the incident.

The fabric is stained with blood and shows a visible hole consistent with a sharp object, possibly a metal rod, passing through his foot and the clothing. Burn marks are also visible, reportedly resembling cigarette burns.

There I was, idly thinking that the phobes in the UK had gone uncharacteristically quiet, or at least that their manufactured outrage and performative cruelty wasn't filtering through to me for some reason. Perhaps they had better things to do, what with a war on and all.

But no, they have to keep the pot boiling by attacking kids again, with a Girl Guides Redux.

Bravo #Labour, I hope you are proud of your achievements in office.

Out of approximately 11,776 public bomb shelters nationwide, only 37 are in Arab towns, and several of them are unusable, meaning that less than 1% of public shelters serve the Palestinian community.

This situation reflects a broader and long-standing disparity in civil defense infrastructure and planning between Jewish and Arab areas, leaving Palestinian citizens more exposed to danger during wars.

In other words, without CAPS LOCK: The #GreatSatan and #TheLittleSatan belatedly realise that they won't get away with smashing yet another #MiddleEast country.

If Trump blows up #Iran's power stations, Iran will destroy energy infrastructure across the #PersianqGulf. This would devastate the global economy; and even the USA won't risk that much devastation.

The Ayatollahs' regime is cruel and misogynist. But congrats to Iran for fending off American aggression for so long.

I am pleasantly surprised to see how many of us landed on the article like a nuclear bomb. A lot of people here have already learned about MMT and why currency sovereign can’t fail to pay.

The government spends money into existence. The deficit ceiling is an artificial construct to force ridiculous drama every year over budgeting.

The problem we really face is whose bank accounts the money sloshes into. Elon Musk crypto Donald Trump concentration camps.

"Imperial Decline in the Straits of Hormuz"

The US - the greatest imperial power of this era - is now visibly shooting itself in the foot (if not the head).

"The current U.S. intervention in Iran is the Suez Crisis". In 1956, Nasser cut off Europe’s lifeline to its oil fields in the Persian Gulf.

By the time Britain retreated in defeat from Suez, its currency was at the brink of collapse, & "its global empire was heading for extinction."
