The blurb:
Tanya Johnson had it all. Looks. Charm. A pure heart. Until that night she was found dead in a port building. Will her murder bring a corrupt Edinburgh city councillor's manky business to light?

Israeli "democracy":
- 500,000 West Bank settlers can vote, but not the 3M Palestinians under occupation
- 230,000 Israelis in occupied East Jerusalem can vote, but not the 350,000 Palestinians under their rule
- The fewer than 2M Palestinians left in occupied Gaza cannot vote

The amount of money the stupid UCP is spending on forced adult drug treatment (nearly 300 million) is enough to buy all the homeless people in Alberta a house, an education, a private jet, and a Tiger.
This bullshit is a constitutional abomination. #ucpee
You are right on one point, Sir. It is a democracy in the Athenian definition. Never have so few had so much power.
Today is election day in Israel, which is a national holiday. All voting is in person, ID required. No mail-in or absentee ballots. Arabs vote same as Israelis. Contentious process, but it's a democracy-not many of those in this region!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Arab voters are Israeli citizens. Listing them in contrast to Israelis is misconstruing the facts.

I mean, when smallditch and Ben Khanzir show their two-faced suits on an hourly basis, even someone in deep, darkest Peru knows 'em, Brettlah.
This tweet contains a fallacy.
For centuries, Jews were singled out, demonized, and held to standards demanded of no one else. Today, Israel has become the Jew among nations at the United Nations.
Israel is entitled to the same standards of justice as every other nation—no more and no less.
Antisemitism does not become acceptable because it is stamped with the seal of the UN. This so-called Commission of Inquiry is a biased, illegitimate inquisition. We reject it. @AmbUNReform
Find a zio, taze a zio. God will finally have his chosen people. Ya had to choose the bastards, didn't ya? After what they did to your cherub.

The Israeli embassy spokesman calls me an idiot.
Alex, you represent a state that's slaughtered over 21,000 children.
Your prime minister is wanted by the ICC for war crimes.
If condemning that makes me an idiot, what does defending it for a living make you?
I have generally valued the intellectual integrity of your publications. Although I disagree with much of what appears in the New Statesman, I remain an avid reader because I believe in understanding opposing views and broadening my perspective.
But publishing this piece about Owen Jones is an insult to your readers’ intelligence. Let us not kid ourselves, Owen Jones is an Idiot. Giving him the credibility of your publication is an editorial failure.
Your readers deserve serious arguments, even provocative ones. This falls well below that standard.
Do better.
Bubbe, if a rock flew in the air and no one reported it, did it fly?

His mother was born in the land of Israel. Ashkenazi DNA is 60% Levantine (meaning from the land of Israel). We were conquered by the Romans colonisers who drove us out of our land, and renamed it from Judea to Palestine.
The most common last name in the Palestinian authority is Al Masri - which mean Egyptian. Also common last names there - halabi - from Aleppo Syria , Hijazi (area in Saudi Arabia ) and so on. Mark Twain visited the holy land in the middle of the 19 century and described a completely empty land. Most of the “Palestinians” came as labour immigrants from the neighbouring lands during the late ottoman time and British Mandate. Palestinians can’t event pronounce “Palestine” because there’s no P in Arabic. The only people who called themselves “Palestinian” before 1948 were Jews - “Palestine post” and “Palestine airways” were Jewish Zionist owned during the British mandate . The Arabs of the land simply called themselves Arabs , and referred to that region as southern Syria. The British named that land Palestine after they took it from the ottomans , because that was the roman colonial name of the land. Before the PLO was invented by the Soviets in 1964 (when Gaza and Judea & Samaria were in Arab hands ) there was no Arab / Islamic association to that name.
We are called Jews because we are from Judea , and Arabs are allied that way because they are from Arabia.
Escuche bien, Rafael.
🤦♂️ El Sayed refuses to disavow Muslim Brotherhood terrorists.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
When asked if he will disavow The Muslim Brotherhood, El-Sayed replied "Sure, yes, absolutely"

Banning books is like having the illiterate leading society. Like the insane managing the asylum. They don't read the books, but they have power trips and want to force others to not read.
