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 Israelโs 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.
Crime is down. Toronto is objectively a safe place. Why does Bradford want us scared? www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

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 survivedโand lived another 35 years. Rocco Morabitoโs photo, โThe Kiss of Life,โ won the Pulitzer Prize. True heroism.

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

Heat storms, massive heat waves covering at least 1% of the globe for five consecutive days, have become increasingly frequent and severe. These storms were rare in the 1960s, but now average 102 events per year, causing widespread heat-related deaths, wildfires, and droughts.
