We know that Israel wants to ethnically cleans Gaza. They are openly calling for that (and worse). Their plan is to push them all into the northern Sinai (I guess the irony of pushing a slateless people to wander for years in the Sinai desert as been lost on the government of Israel).

Stupid is as Stupid Does!

Eight years ago, the utterly objective American news industry "covered" the Trump For Dictator Campaign with billions of dollars worth of air time.

Remember, Remember, the Fifth of November

Happy Guy Fawkes Day!

Observed in the United Kingdom every year on November 5, Guy Fawkes Day—also called Bonfire Night or Fireworks Night—commemorates a failed assassination attempt from more than 400 years ago. On November 5, 1605, Guy Fawkes and a group of radical English Catholics tried to assassinate King James I by blowing up Parliament's House of Lords. The plot went awry and all of the conspirators were executed. Soon after, Britons began to celebrate Fawkes' day by burning effigies, lighting bonfires and setting off fireworks—a tradition that has continued to this day.
