Is Tate & Lyle anti-Israel? They have changed their 150-year-old golden syrup logo that had a dead lion with bees buzzing around it accompanied by the biblical slogan ” out of the strong came forth sweetness.” The more elderly on here, who probably received some sort of religious education, may recall that Samson killed the lion that attacked him with his bare hands and the bees made honey in the corpse, which was apparently a sign of divine favour. Samson’s main speciality though was smiting the Philistines, the enemies of Israel. The Philistines today are known as Palestinians. Samson is said to have killed a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. Then he took his eye off the ball and fell for Delilah who cut off his hair, which removed his strength. The Philistines took Samson to Gaza and “made sport” of him and blinded him. However, his hair had been regrowing and his strength returned. He stood between the pillars of the temple to their god Dagon and “bowed upon them with all his might”. The temple came down killing 3,000 Philistines – and Samson. The Arabs never could build for sh1t back then. You could buy an architect's degree with a camel and a slightly soiled woman.

The war on civilians continues. "Starvation is being used as a weapon of war in Gaza, the EU's foreign policy chief has claimed. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has meanwhile vowed to press on with an offensive in southern Gaza." (BBC, website)

Is the EU now deciding the external affairs of all their members? For context Borrell comes from the Spanish Socialist Workers Party
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

the EU is passing comment, as anyone here does. Even if aid routes being cut is not deliberate, the consequences are identical. Israel is in no hurry distributing aid.

The Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, on Thursday called for Israel to hold new elections, saying he believed the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had “lost his way” and risked turning the country into a pariah with its bombardment of Gaza and the worsening humanitarian crisis it caused. Schumer is the top Jewish official in the USA.

Steely, you should know how this works by now. Progressive East Coast Jews hardly carry any sway with Netanyahu. And when push comes to shove they are never turning their back on their home. But the fact that the Democrat party want Netanyahu out of power isn't news.

I find it funny that an influential politician from the US is stating that the Israeli leader should go…yet the US Ambassador to Hungary is complaining that the Hungarian leader has said it would be bad if Joe Biden won the US presidency again. Criticism and requests for regime change only works one way.
hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing. |
