It isn't a matter of taking sides and which is right, or which started it.

I oppose the butchery because I am not a psychopath.

Cait!in Johnstone I don't oppose the butchery in Gaza because I love Hamas or hate Jews or love Islam or hate America. I don't oppose the butchery in Gaza because I'm a lefty or a commie or an anarchist or an anti-imperialist. I oppose the butchery in Gaza because I'm not a fucking psychopath. Opposing Israel's butchery in Gaza is so obvious, so common sense, such a bare-minimum, fundamental-level, Being Human 101 position that if it isn't immediately self-evident to you after learning the basic facts, your problem is much, much deeper than whatever ideology or bias or prejudice you might happen to have. There's something wrong with you as a person.

    When the hold message says "We are experiencing higher than usual call volumes", all I hear is "We have implemented lower than optimal staffing levels".

    This is the United States I love. ♥️

    The Ukraine aid package has passed the Senate.
    What a proud moment for every American.

    I believe it was Churchill who said, "America can always be relied upon to do the right thing - once they have exhausted every other possibility."

    The English water companies have told the govt that to fix the infrastructure problems they will have to increase prices to customers.

    Just worth remembering that Scottish Water – which is publicly owned – has invested nearly 35 per cent more per household in infrastructure since 2002 than the privatised English firms, charging 14 per cent less and not paying out dividends.

    Conclusion ….Nationalised water works better!

    3 February 1907 | Czech Jewish woman, Margita Dolejšová, was born in Olomouc.

    She was deported to Auschwitz from Theresienstadt ghetto on 6 September 1943. She did not survive.

    @auschwitzmuseum

    Given that the Auschwitz memorial only publishes pictures of Jewish prisoners, am I right in thinking that only Jews were killed in Auschwitz?

    It is my understanding that the Germans killed over 17m people in camps, of which 6m were Jewish.

    I guess the other 9m non-Jewish are either not important to the Holocaust memorial, or were killed in their own, separate camps and not reported.

    @auschwitzmuseum

    I have to say that I follow you, and did not remember any of your posts that were not of Jews. Hence my questions.

    I stand corrected.
