Important to recognize that this is a common view in Israel; one increasingly held by younger Israelis, who are turning further hard right, like the rest of that society. Western politicians advocating a two-State solution should note that no candidate in the coming election is talking about it.

"Carpet bomb them all". Speaking to The Guardian at an event ahead of Israelโ€™s elections, a young Israeli woman called for Palestinians to be forcibly displaced from the Gaza Strip, saying they should be killed if they cannot be removed.

The other implication of his run -- that Toronto has slid into flith and chaos because we don't have a white man at the helm -- is the vilest dog-whistling shit, especially since Chow is still working to clean up the mess John Tory and the Fords left behind.

When do we just stop being so smug and accept that we are no better than the Americans? The majority seem perfectly content with climate destruction, corruption, and racism.

This man was dead weight, hanging high above the ground after touching a high-voltage line. His coworker climbed up, held him in place, gave him mouth-to-mouth. Randall Champion survivedโ€”and lived another 35 years. Rocco Morabitoโ€™s photo, โ€œThe Kiss of Life,โ€ won the Pulitzer Prize. True heroism.

Something big has been happening this week, and with all the news happening, you probably didnโ€™t hear about it. MPs from every federal party except the Liberals and Conservatives have banded together โ€” and theyโ€™re sounding the alarm about Carney's destructive policies:

OUCH. Bloc Quรฉbรฉcois MP @patbonin.bsky.social absolutely clears the environment minister in this clip on Bill C-39. My translation: โ€œItโ€™s sad to see the minister who is giving the impression of wanting to convince herself that the bill thatโ€™s directly under her purview isnโ€™t a disaster.
