It's not 'CSE'. It's child rape, says Joanna Gray. Enough with the sterile acronyms that seem designed to conceal the horror. Enough of the "bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language" (Wittgenstein).

It's going to take more than a Supreme Court judgment to flush gender pseudoscience out of the NHS, says Caroline Ffiske. In every policy and definition the NHS has dropped biological sex in favour of subjective feelings.

3rd bombing, 2nd massacre in the same day in Gaza
Israel is thristy for blood
palestine_2.jpg

Gaza, March 22, Four men died and a fifth was wounded when the Israeli occupation forces shelled a civilian car near “Tunisia school” in Al Zaytoun district, east of Gaza City on Tuesday evening.

Medics spokesman, Adham Abu Salmeyah, reported that the wounded were injured by shrapnel in the lower limbs, while witnesses said that the martyrs arrived to “Shefa Hospital” in shredded pieces.

The martyrs are resistance fighters from Al-Quds Brigades, military wing of Islamic Jihad, and they are: Sa’di Helles, and Adham al Harazin, Mohamed Attia al Harazin, and Mohammad Abed.

Bringing the record of martyrs to 8 in one day and it looks like they are not done.

Spokesman of the Israeli army claimed that their troops shelled a location where Palestinian militants were present in, located in Al Zaytoun neighborhood, and who have fired rockets toward Israeli towns, as he claims.

The Israeli army raised the degree of preparedness in the wake of information about the intention of some factions of the resistance to carry out operations and attacks against the Israeli occupation army.

That will teach those terrorists to use our passports for their terror hits like Dubai, and remind them not to be pirating our aid ships to the defenceless Israeli civilians who only have a couple of hundered nukes and the fourth largest army on the planet backed up by the hi-tech delivery systems bestowed by Pentagon Inc.
After all them Palestinians are armed with STONES and never lived in Palestine(which no longer exists and never will anyway).It says so in the bible so it must be true. Shalom.

Dear Opus Diablos

"the fourth largest army on the planet"

What's interesting here isn't that you are so obviously wrong but that you swallowed this "fact" so uncritically. That you were willing to believe this even though the total population of Israel is only a few million.

a) Not even close to 4th. Forget about major powers like the US. Think of smaller in power but much larger in population like India, Pakistan, etc.

b) Why don't you look it up?
As a matter of fact, at the start of the '48 war, in the '56 war, the '67 war, and the '73 war the Israelis had the smaller (numerically) army. Consult any of the standard military history texts.

How about the fourth best equipped army in the world Mike? Would Israel fulfil that criteria perhaps?
They certainly do have a lot of US donated state of the art airpower and other modern hardware

yes I misstated that one. It should have read fourth most powerful. Thanks for your attention.

And now that I have it, you might address the other issues I raised with the same critical eye. You didn't mention the piracy or passport cloning. But then I suspect you will be giving Tel Aviv the benefit of its no denial, no confirmation policy. Are you on the payroll or just a believer in Zion uber alles?
