Ex-Muslim calling out the hypocrisy once again, and the blatant Jew/Israel-hate that seems to be en vogue these days. Gotta keep the useful idiots on side and weaponize their selective outrage. I’m now very familiar with what the Palestine flag looks like but wouldn’t know the colours of the Yemen flag without searching first;
”My dad, who is a moderate Muslim, finally expressed his concern and asked me, ‘Why are you supporting this genocide?’
He mentioned that he’s stopped looking at his phone because he can no longer bear to watch videos of Palestinian children being bombed by Israel.
I replied, ‘I empathize with the suffering, and it’s not easy for me either.’
Then I showed him a photo, and we both agreed on the gravity of the situation in Palestine.
I then informed him that the photo was actually of a Yemeni child pulled from the rubble resulting from a Saudi bombing in Yemen.
I pointed out that Israel has allegedly killed 7,000 Palestinians, while the Saudis have killed at least 150,000 Yemeni Muslims. Some estimates suggest upto 300,000.
How can we call the current conflict a ‘genocide’ when what the Saudis did is hardly even discussed by Muslims? Don’t get me started on 200,000 Muslims killed by Bashar Al Asad in Syria.
He responded that if that’s the case, he also disagrees with what the Saudis did. I replied, ‘How convenient. Nearly half a MILLION fellow Muslims have been killed by other Muslims, and you didn’t even know about it. Yet when Israel retaliates against a terrorist organization that has killed, raped, and maimed 1,500 of its citizens, the whole Muslim world reacts?’
It seems to have less to do with preserving Muslim lives and more to do with a religious fantasy of hostility toward Jews.”

What makes Muslims better informed than anyone else even if it is in relation to fellow-Muslims? Why would a Muslim be interested in all other Muslims? Some Muslims persecute others because they do not all express their faith in the same way. This shouldn’t be conflated with hostility towards Jews.
People may be rightly concerned by events that they are aware of and develop an affinity with but how is it they become aware of these events?
If the photo was shown to people on the street in the UK, I wonder how many would be surprised to hear that it could have been a UK bomb with delivery made possible only through the support of UK companies and the UK military?
The UK military involvement in Yemen was effectively downplayed or hidden by the government and mainstream media.
The UK military involvement in Ukraine is shouted from the rooftops by the government and MSM, accompanied by puff-pieces on weaponry.
The UK military involvement in Israel is looking shady and not worthy of the same coverage as Ukraine.
This could be a long list.
Why the inconsistent reporting? Because it controls the narrative and influences the opinions of the majority in order to gain support or foment division.
Why the downvotes when TheHarrisSultan reaches a similar conclusion?

“Ex-Facebook diversity chief pleads guilty to stealing $4 million to fund lifestyle”
Before I clicked through, I had a little bet with myself as to the gender and ethnicity of the guilty party, and I got both right.! How about that.!
So many stories in the news daily of people being hurt, killed and victimized, so a story where the bad guys come off worst is a welcome read. If guns aren’t legal then at least be proactive and arm yourself with some sort of weapon and learn a few skills;
”A Frenchman from the town of Montargis has become a national folk hero after he armed himself with a medieval longsword from his collection and began battling a gang of robbers who broke into his house.
In a video interview with news portal La Bonne Droite, Cédric Gallineau recounts that the incident began when he awoke one night and heard muffled sounds in his garage. After telling his wife to call the police, Gallineau, who is a collector of medieval swords, marched to select the appropriate longsword from his collection.
He then charged into his garage, where he stores a luxury car, and proceeded to swing his sword at the group of burglars. The men appeared to be shocked to learn they had entered the home of a bearded swordsman.
“As they came out, I would tap them,” Cédric said, using sword fighting skills he had picked up over time.
During the video interview, he almost seemed disappointed by his foes’ lack of ability to counter his longsword attacks.
“They were pushing each other, it was chaos,” Cédric said.
He added that during the pitched melee battle, one of the gang, who appeared to be the leader, jumped up on top of the car to get away from the sword, where he screamed, “You son of a bitch, we know where you are, we’ll find you!”
To that remark, the Frenchman responded: “Well yes, asshole, you’re at my place.”
In a panic, the burglars fled the property. The journalist in the clip appears stunned that anyone would defend themselves in France, asking him if he was afraid of meting out justice to those who entered his home illegally. To that, the man simply says, “I’d rather be the one who kills a bastard than end up in a funeral march.”

I thought that to be common knowledge. Also revenge for the miner’s strike – a friend of ours was told that by a Labour MP not long after the vote.
“No one wants to talk about Ukraine any more” – Lionel Shriver in The Spectator.
I am a big fan of Lionel Shriver’s writings, both her novels and her comment pieces. That said, this piece on Ukraine couldn’t be more wrong (IMO), almost totally reflecting the mainstream narrative of Good (Ukraine) v Evil (Russia) and David (Zelensky) v Goliath (Putin).
She talks about Russia’s “gratuitous aggression”, the “outrageous slaughter of civilians in Bucha” and “a humiliating retreat” by a “once-intimidating Russian army”, not realising that each of these is untrue (I think) and merely reflects the propaganda messaging of the western MSM.
Most of us on this site recognise that Putin did not want this war, but was provoked into invading by the USA’s invitation to Ukraine to join NATO (which the US knew was a red line for Putin) and by the persecution and 8-year bombing campaign in Ukraine against Russians living in the Donbass region. It is the US military-industrial complex that is ultimately responsible for this war and for its continuation.
We also know / believe that the so-called slaughter of civilians in Bucha was a staged inside-job carried out by the Ukraine authorities to discredit Russia and Putin; and that Russia’s so-called “humiliating retreat” was merely a tactical fall-back to enable their position to be more easily defended.
Vladimir Putin does yet another long live press conference answering questions from the whole press corps, and some of the online questions raise criticisms of stuff at home, whilst not criticising the Ukraine war.
Most parsimonious explanation: the Russian people mainly support the war, and are not afraid to raise other issues. Putin is not afraid to be questioned by the press or the public.
Daily Telegraph explanation: the criticisms either slipped past the censors or, more likely, were part of the devilish cunning Russian habit of planting fake criticisms to give the impression that there are real criticisms. Disquiet about the defeat of Russia in Ukraine has been ruthlessly suppressed.
Daily Telegraph comments show that the British public has either drunk deeply from the “Russia is still the Soviet Union” cup (mentions of labour camps, press censorship, dictators, etc), or MI6 and 77th Brigade are up early to fill the comments.
My observations: COVID press conferences were stage-managed with prepared questions and answers from selected sources and one token (and on board) video question from “the public.” Don’t even mention Biden press conferences.
Our press is still censoring the progressive collapse of Zelensky’s Ukraine and the embrarrassing defeat of NATO. We’re not even privy to the UK special forces actively deployed there, because that might raise dissent.
Sunak wasn’t elected and has a 29% approval rating. Putin was elected and has an 80%+ rating in multiple polls.
Russia’s economy is booming, and infrastructure slowly improving from the poverty of the Soviet collapse. Britain’s is slumping and its infrastructure crumbling from mismanagement of a once prosperous economy.
Russia is enthusiastically Christian, and its churches full, yet is warmly tolerant of it’s indigenous Muslim and Jewish minorities, and its government actively promotes those values. Britain’s government imposes atheistic wokeness on its people against the majority ethos, promotes Islam from abroad and discourages historic Christianity as “unacceptable in a modern democracy.” Antisemitism is rife within the political class.
But then, I guess we all know that it was Russian collusion that won the 2016 election for Trump, since the Telegraph kept us fully informed of Christopher Steele’s revelations, whilst downplaying the annoying fact that they were lies.
Great comment, Jon. Spot on…

Bung a couple of responses up on there and that should do it.
“‘This is a massacre of thoughts’: The exiled Chinese artist Ai Weiwei on his cancellation”
Article behind a paywall. Accessible article here.
https://www.euronews.com/culture/2023/11/16/ai-weiwei-london-exhibition-effectively-cancelled-over-israel-social-media-post
In a statement of his own, Ai said that the show had been “effectively cancelled” by the gallery.
“In my opinion, all kinds of opinions can be expressed, even when they are not correct,” he wrote. “Incorrect opinions should be especially encouraged. If free expression is limited to the same kind of opinions, it becomes an imprisonment of expression. Freedom of speech is about different voices, voices different from ours. Simply put, we have never lived in a society with freedom of expression but rather in a society where speech is not cherished; an individual’s speech is not deemed important or acceptable by controllers of speech.”
He continued: “The cancellation of an exhibition is not important at all because thousands and tens of thousands of exhibitions are still going on. Whether I exist or not is also not important because there would always be someone who wants to look for light and the joy that light brings to life, as people do not like darkness.”
Well said that man.

The way to stop the boats – stop the purchase of the bloody things.
Not mentioned in the article but I would add that the RNLI should be forbidden from operating a taxi service.
Now, on to the legals that Fishy is shipping in.
Why do we never go near these stories in the comment sections? Too hot to touch? Of no interest? Good, it’s some kind of weird justice being served against the ‘patriarchy’?
Well, it’s nothing more than in-your-face discrimination. Disgusting discrimination. The only discrimination that is allowed/promoted in today’s society. The only discrimination that is socially acceptable. Guys have been so beat upon for decades they won’t even call this horrific stuff out. Better to be a good boy and keep quiet. Anybody that is decent should be offended by this – male and female. We won’t fix the rot in society until we find the courage to stand up and say “no more”.
“America’s media should do more to equip readers to think for themselves, argues James Bennett in the Economist.”
Are they havin’ a laugh?
Consider the column inches (no, its the Economist – must be centimeters) devoted to rubbishing any thought of Brexit, in favour of the Euro, supportive of QE and a denial money is related to inflatioin.
What a joke rag it is.
Agreed – the Economist is the worst of the worst in terms of pushing agreed mainstream narratives.

“Japan approves self-amplifying (saRNA) Covid vaccine” – On Substack, Dr. Meryl Nass celebrates a new vaccine platform that could provide potent defence against infectious diseases and cancers.
Really? Or am I missing some irony? Dr Nass’s heading is
“What? Seeking to follow the former Italian Health Minister into ignominy? Sometimes there is nothing left to say.”
That’s not what I’d call celebration.
The only explanation I can think of is a Japanese love of dicing with death, eg eating puffer fish.
