Global protests grow after Israeli killing of Palestinian demonstrators

No Trump and Netanyahu, You are wrong. Jerusalem is NOT "the capital of Israel".

The United Nations General Assembly does not recognize Israel's proclamation of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. 

The   wording of General Assembly Resolution 63/30 of 2009 states that "any actions taken by Israel, the occupying Power, to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration on the Holy City of Jerusalem are illegal and therefore null and void and have no validity whatsoever, and calls upon Israel to cease all such illegal and unilateral measures.

In recognising Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, the United States defies the United Nations and joins Israel in another illegal act and drives another nail into the coffin of the Peace Process. 

At the same time as Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner with Trump himself on video link opened the "United States Embassy" in Jerusalem, the IDF at the Gaza "border fence", shot and killed more than 50 unarmed Palestinians and wounded more than a thousand others, in what Mark Regev, Benjamin Netanyahu and the barbaric Israeli Defence Force, describe as an act of "self defence", using the now well worn but still untrue cliche of, "Israel is defending itself".  The excessive use of "live fire", tear gas and snipers by the IDF against unarmed civilians is both barbarous and inhuman but is nevertheless a regular occurance in Gaza, the West Bank and the other occupied territories.

Yesterday witnessed just the latest atrocities carried out by the occupying forces in Palestine and should provoke anger and condemnation by civilised countries around the world. For how much longer can Europe and the rest of the world stand by and do nothing in the face of the United States and Israeli crimes against the people of Palestine?

Since 1948 the world has crossed over and "passed by on the other side" as generations of Palestinians have been subjected to occupation, persecution and slaughter on an unprecedented scale.

Governments should hold their heads in shame at their indifference to and acquiescence of Israeli and United States actions in the tragic land of Palestine.

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria. This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California. Unless they are actually doing some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
