President Trump’s threat to sue a liberal think tank attempts to transform defamation law into a modern-day Sedition Act that could be wielded against journalists.
The dangerous new twist in Trump’s latest defamation threat
Trump’s saber-rattling against a liberal think tank over its report on his administration’s deployment of the National Guard is an attempt to turn criticism of government policy into personal defamati...

I also find the idea bizarre that the way to make British Jews safer is unquestioning support for an abhorrent Israeli Govt. British Jews shouldn't be affected by foreign policy either way. But supporting the world's only Jewish state to commit ethnic cleansing isn't in the interests of UK Jews.
Boycott Israel. Divest from Israel. Sanction Israel. #BDS
Nearly 200 women died from ectopic pregnancies between 2020 and 2025 — almost double the rate of the previous six years. A ProPublica analysis found the spike has been steepest in states with strict abortion bans. Deaths that could be preventable, say experts.
Death after ectopic pregnancy skyrocket after landmark Supreme Court ruling: analysis
The number of women who died after an ectopic pregnancy has spiked in recent years, a ProPublica analysis found. The mounting deaths in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data have drawn little scrutiny or response.Such deaths typically occur in the first trimester, after a pregnancy fails t...

This is a great move if it’s the start of something; a constant tide of criticism and action against the Palestinian genocide. But if this fizzes out then it was just a token gesture to be pointed out later. Palestine Action also needs to be removed from the terrorist/extremist list.
It's a start. Might as well call a genocide a genocide too. Whoever is against Miliband doing this is an accomplice to murderous monsters.
The Israeli govt is not turning a blind eye they are active participants.
Watching Jewish leaders defend the worst religious extremists in our faith against even the simplest, clearest consequences is disgusting. And these same leaders would insist Muslim leaders denounce Hamas, Christian leaders denounce white supremacists… No ethical view here, just tribalism.

Miliband: Violent settlers are terrorizing Palestinians and we have legislation to boycott the settlers. Rabbi Mirvis: This is bad for the Jews. (It's NOT bad for the Jews. But Jewish spokespeople like Mirvis - who comes off as completely heartless and indifferent to Palestinian lives - are.)

The interview with Ed Miliband on BBC4 Today this morning about the UK sanctions on West Bank settlements, might as well have been carried out by an Israeli government spokesman as by the supposedly neutral Justin Webb. #FakeAntisemitism
Oh the wails of angst and fury over Miliband announcing sanctions against murderers and thieves (of land, crops, livestock and otherwise) illegally occupying Palestinian land. Anyone feeling this is a wrong move. Frankly - fuck you. Should have gone further, earlier.
Oh no, we've enjoyed such a stable and positive relationship with the Trump regime up till now!
There is no greater indicator that a nation is moving in the right direction than having a trump minion threaten you for your actions. The trump regime is a pathocracy in thrall of Netanyahu
Ah so their friendship with a genociadal maniac is more important than their ‘special relationship’ with the UK. Gotcha. Talk about isolating themselves further.
Israel doesn't do constructive dialogue and moving towards cooperation with Palestine, Lebanon or Syria. Israel is the country that needs to stop and step away from the dead ends of genocide, war and colonial invasion.
The entire conversation centers around “oh yes we must make sure the Israeli people don’t feel scared” Meanwhile, Palestinians are orphaned, live in rubble, pulled out of their homes, bombed, tortured, maimed, paraded around like they are less than
Canada to join European ban on Israeli settlement goods amid rising violence. Canada, UK, France years late to join the public outcry - and still do the LEAST amount possible just for a little publicity. #BoycottIsrael #warcrimes #genocide #gaza #westbank #lebanon shorturl.at/ZOhAG
Canada to join European ban on Israeli settlement goods
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said that the U.K. will ban imports of all goods from the settlements, with Canada and France following suit.

netanyahu is the most serious threat to the existence of israel that they’ve ever faced, he’s every bit the dunning-kruger imbecile that trump is, thinks he’s some kind of genius but is stupidly creating the conditions that could result in his countries destruction
This seems completely mad to me - refusing entry is one thing, particularly if there were genuine concerns about capacity etc, but threatening RNLI coxswains with criminal action is absurd.
Patriot Platform presents itself as local patriots defending women, children and Christian values. Its leader has a kidnapping conviction, its ranks include violent criminals, and its masked activists block roads.

Where’s the outrage about spoiling holidays, blocking ambulances or people going to funerals or appointments, or working class people struggling to work? Oh - of course - these masked morons aren’t a threat to oil and defence industries. I’m frightened of the direction UK is heading.
During the Guga hunt, young Gannets are brutally beaten to death with wooden poles. We recreated the grim reality of what these birds face outside the Scottish Parliament - demanding that MSPs act to ban this cruel practice for good.
