    Israel just banned the UNWRA from delivering food aid to Northern Gaza; now what?

    I don't think it's that much of a mystery; it's likely because they specifically have been trying to attack, delegitimize and undermine UNWRA for at least decades.

    Israel Isolated as UN Security Council Demands Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza

    Deranged take utterly divorced from reality, especially since Europe staunchly supported Israel up until it butchered the people of Gaza and willfully deprived them of humanitarian aid on a longstanding and ongoing base.

    Israel Isolated as UN Security Council Demands Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza

    You can call it a war if you like; I'm not particularly interested or invested in the semantics here, though I will say that Israel has no 'right' to visit this level of indiscriminate devastation and collateral upon civilians which has cost it even America's typically unconditional backing at...

    Israel Isolated as UN Security Council Demands Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza

    Pro-fact, anti-disinformation. I don't think it can be at all reasonably argued that Israel hasn't suffered huge blows to its soft power due to the way it is conducting this invasion, and that the UN's ceasefire demand, complete with a US abstention, represents the latest in that. Moreover the...

    Gun control fuels crime: Just ask Canada

    Lol, unbelievable. There is functionally no difference between "You do realize that even before the handgun ban you weren't allowed to carry handguns on your person for 'self-defense' right?" and "prior to the handgun ban, which passed in 2022, you weren't allowed to carry weapons for...

    Gun control fuels crime: Just ask Canada

    Since you don't seem to understand the very simple rationale, let's break this argument down step by step so you hopefully can (key sections bolded): 1. I said that prior to the handgun ban, which passed in 2022, you weren't allowed to carry weapons for self-defense purposes. 2. As an...

    Israel Isolated as UN Security Council Demands Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza

    The latest and among the biggest in a series of huge blows to Israeli soft power that will keep coming so long as Israel insists on prosecuting its brutal, inhumane and likely genocidal invasion of Gaza as it presently does; the US abstention is historical, significant and above all, deserved...

    Gun control fuels crime: Just ask Canada

    Obviously when I'm talking about the time prior to the handgun ban when you could not carry handguns for self-defense I'm not speaking in absolutes referring to the whole of Canada's history which would be utterly silly and ridiculous, but referring to the time after 95 and prior to the handgun...

    Gun control fuels crime: Just ask Canada

    Incorrect. While in 1991 you could carry handguns with you relatively freely, as of 1995 Section 17 of the Firearms Act changed that, placing substantial restrictions on the transportation and possession of these weapons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_Canada#Restricted

    [W:778] (Bloomberg Law) Trump Bond Reduced to $175 Million as He Appeals NY Fine

    I'm not saying there's undue influence, I'm saying my expectation was that he'll likely wriggle his way out of the most unpleasant aspects of the situation through the benefits of the mundane and exclusive privileges and clemency enjoyed by the rich, powerful and well-connected which...

    [W:778] (Bloomberg Law) Trump Bond Reduced to $175 Million as He Appeals NY Fine

    He's got so many well placed, rich and powerful friends with a vested interest in seeing him scrape by that it's hard to imagine that he won't be able to do it. I was betting either one or more of them would step up, or the amount would be reduced; perhaps it'll end up being both.

    [W:778] (Bloomberg Law) Trump Bond Reduced to $175 Million as He Appeals NY Fine

    Unfortunate but by this time, very much expected; he's not called Teflon Don for no reason.

    How the Gaza Ministry of Health Fakes Casualty Numbers

    Anyone looking into this even slightly will understand that the professor's analysis is at best deeply flawed and at worst deliberately and egregiously disingenuous and dishonest and politically motivated. Given the language he uses and his presumption of the Health Ministry's guilt despite...

    Gun control fuels crime: Just ask Canada

    Uh. You do realize that even before the handgun ban you weren't allowed to carry handguns on your person for 'self-defense' right? Also concerning Toronto specifically, the police's embarrassing gaffes aside, robberies are lower than they were 10 years ago, and any increase in armed robbery...
