A new coalition even more extreme than the last

Netanyahu appears on track for victory

Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be on course to be re elected as Prime Minister of Israel. With 97%of the votes counted, he and General Benny Grantz, leader of the Blue and White party Netanyahu's main rival for the Premiership, have each won 35 seats in the 120 seat Knesset.However, due to the complexities of the Israeli electoral system and the political balance in the country, Netanyahu seems certain to be able to form another coalition to keep him in power for another 4 years. Netanyahu will, as he has done to date, be able to draw support from the extreme right, nationalists and religious parties who historically have supported and promoted the expansion and creation of Israeli settlements on the West Bank and other areas of occupied Palestine. The parties likely to prop up the Netanyahu Likud party would be the New Right headed by Naftali Bennett who is infamous for his extremist views on Palestinians and the now discredited "Two State" solution. Shas, Jewish Home, United Torah Judaism and a few other parties of the extreme right or ultra orthodox religious parties,will ensure that Netanyahu's anti Palestinian policies will continue and become even more provocative. He has already promised that should he win the election, Israel will annex all of the Israeli settlements, including those in Jerusalem and absorb them into the Israeli state. This act in itself ensures that there can be no viable Palestinian state at any time in the future and condemns the region into an endless round of violence as each side wages strike and counter strike against the other. In respect of Gaza The measures of blockade by land and sea will only intensify as the new Israeli government seeks to exert pressure on the embattled enclave and demonstrate that it has the power and the intention of destroying the Palestinian people. The new Israeli government emerging from the election, promises to be the most extreme and the most oppressive one to date. The world should recognise that we have entered a new and most dangerous period, even more dangerous than any before.

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 ...
