"Israel precisely targeted and eliminated top Iranian regime officials.
"Iran fired blindly at civilian homes, and nearly killed a baby."
Israel targets military sites, while Iran targets cities. Same old…

ve of the second Iraq War in 2003 Saddam almost certainly would have been able to hit British (and American) assets within 45 minutes.
Israel can expect the same indignant response from the international community now as it did then. But it can be safe in the knowledge that it has acted not only in its own interests but in the strategic, security and commercial interests of the Western nations lining up to condemn it. That is the way of it when you are one of the few remaining democracies that believes in destroying your enemies before they can destroy you. Other nations might think it proper to wait until the UN, the EU and the legal professoriate give them the green light to wanly defend themselves, by which point their cities are already smouldering and endless body bags being filled from the rubble. But Israel is not one of them.
If this leads to the end of the theocracy in Tehran – a big if – the world will have even more reason to be grateful. Hezbollah gone, Hamas and the Houthis down but not yet out – and now the head of the hydra.
nfirmed it. Operation Rising Lion had been launched: a preemptive strike ordered by the cabinet to “roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival.” The opening wave saw Israeli Air Force jets strike dozens of nuclear and military command targets deep inside Iran. According to the IDF spokesperson, 200 planes dropped 330 munitions across a wide array of targets.
The IDF stated bluntly: Iran possessed enough enriched uranium to build several bombs within days. Israeli intelligence had concluded that Tehran was about to cross the threshold towards weaponisation. Israeli sources later revealed that the Revolutionary Guard had capabilities to assemble fifteen nuclear bombs, with Iranian scientists already at work. Israel estimates that more than ten nuclear scientists were killed in the strikes.
“This was an imminent threat,” the IDF declared. “We acted to remove it.”…
Saudi Arabia publicly condemned the Israeli strikes – but behind the scenes, Riyadh may well be quietly pleased that Israel is doing what many Sunni Arab governments view as a necessary action to contain Iran’s ambitions. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt regard Iran as the principal regional threat, particularly in light of its support for Shia militias, the Houthis, Hezbollah, and its nuclear programme. Even those without formal ties to Israel tacitly align on this issue, a shared concern that has underpinned years of covert regional cooperation. One Israeli official even told Israel Hayom the preemptive strike was “more successful than anticipated.”
Overnight, Israel has crossed a threshold. What began in the early hours with sirens and a nation moving to its shelters is now an unprecedented military and geopolitical rupture. The confrontation that long seemed a shadow war is now fully in the open. What began in October 2023 with Palestinian terrorists bursting across Israel’s border in Toyota pickup trucks, armed with RPGs, gasoline, and guns, has transformed into a systematic campaign: the near-elimination of several of Iran’s proxy forces that have threatened Israel for decades; the downfall of the Assad regime in Syria; the crumbling of Hamas in Gaza; the destruction of key military assets including the airport in Houthi-controlled parts of Yemen; the degradation of Hezbollah’s operational capabilities; the elimination of many terrorist leaders across the region – and now, this.
trans people and their allies been transmitted backwards in time to February 2004, they would not have been taken remotely seriously, because at that time politics was mostly dominated by adults (of human male and female variety).
Once the demand for self-ID took off across social media round about the middle of the last decade, a number of leading politicians who should have known better jumped aboard the bandwagon. Some senior politicians who didn’t know better, like Jeremy Corbyn, then leader of the Labour Party, followed suit. But others with less of an excuse for holding insane opinions took the same line, on the basis that (a) trans people are a minority, (b) fighting for minority rights is A Good Thing; and therefore (c) if you demand minority rights you are On The Right Side Of History.
So here we are. The genie released from the bottle in 2004 has grown to an extent that was unimaginable at the time.
And it all started in February 2004, with a well-meaning but naive government, and a host of well-meaning, naive and ambitious MPs who probably should have known better.
Mea culpa.
pt”>The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (Camera) complained to the BBC about the caption, which was corrected days later to say: “Some observant Jews consider spitting on Christians a holiday ritual.”
There have been arrests in Israel related to spitting on churches, with the suspects mainly from certain strict Charedi sects, but the practice is not an accepted part of mainstream Jewish celebrations.
But it took the broadcaster 19 months to issue a written apology to Camera.
“We apologise for the errors and thank you for your patience in waiting for this reply/confirmation of corrections that were made in October 2023,” a BBC spokesperson said.
-identity clinic were same-sex attracted – kids confused about their sexuality who were pushed towards medical ‘correction’. It has never had anything to say about Nancy Kelley, the former CEO of Stonewall, calling lesbians ‘sexual racists’ for not being attracted to transwomen, otherwise known as men.
Gay conversion therapy via chemical castration and brutal surgeries happened on the Pride leaders’ watch. At every point, they didn’t just abandon their posts, they cheered gender ideology on. The world is slowly waking up to all of this. In Denmark, a medical journal finally broke the taboo around the glaring overrepresentation of autistic-spectrum-disorder youth among those undergoing so-called treatment for gender dysphoria. And now, Australia is also erupting in alarm and disquiet at the wild west of gender medicine.
The majority of gay people, like Kavanagh here, a director of Gay Men’s Network, would have been happy just to get on with their lives after the triumphs of gay lib, but they reckoned without the likes of Stonewall, keen to keep the money flowing in by going all out for trans liberation. It fooled an astonishing number of people into thinking this was the next great liberation cause of an oppressed downtrodden group, instead of a profoundly homophobic and misogynistic movement led, mostly, by autogynephilic men and academics who'd lost their way down the Queer Theory rabbit hole. Well – now we know.
We’ve come a long way from the original 1970 Christopher Street Liberation Day march – the event that would become Pride. That was organised by two lesbians and two gay men, Linda Rhodes, Ellen Broidy, Craig Rodwell and Fred Sargeant. It was a cultural and political phenomenon that changed the world for the better.
Lesbians and gay men certainly made history back then. It falls to us today to destroy gender ideology once and for all. Now that would be something to be proud of.
South African businessman Errol Musk, father of entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk, praised Russia during remarks at the Future Forum 2050 in Moscow on June 9, 2025. He said that he saw a “perfect total civilization,” adding that Moscow easily rivals ancient Rome and is probably the premier capital city in the world. Musk also praised Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, saying he has always enjoyed watching him on television, and that Lavrov “always seems to come out the winner.” Musk asked how to change Western perceptions about Russia, calling it one of the finest communities he has ever seen.
Other participants on the panel included Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Russia-based American activist Jackson Hinkle, and former British MP George Galloway. The conference was co-organized by Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin and attended by American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and economist Jeffrey Sachs, among others.
A real rogues gallery.
