I’m sure we’d all feel that it was very reasonable to drop bombs on a shopping centre if, for instance, someone said that Bin Laden was chilling in Westfield.
BREAKING: Israel says its fighter jets targeted Hamas commander in deadly strike on Gaza refugee camp

The place where Shireen Abu Akleh was killed in Jenin has been bulldozed, and her shrine desecrated by Israeli forces. What does this have to do with Hamas? What does this have to do with self defence? What does this have to do with getting the hostages back?
Absolutely nothing.

This war is being framed as between Israel and Hamas. But in the West Bank, which is not governed by Hamas, Palestinians are being killed by settlers, sometimes under the watchful gaze of the IDF, and by Israeli forces. Israeli airstrikes have targeted Jenin refugee camp.

Please will train companies stop altering station names on wayfinding and passenger information screens? It’s tedious and unfunny, causes accessibility issues and makes everything harder for non-natives. Pack it in! Have your fun *anywhere* but on the passenger info screens! #Frighton

FFS! Write-off.
THIS @MarkDrakeford is what happens when you try to stick to 20mph in Pythelly 🤷🏼♂️🔥

Hamas may be at war with Israel, but Israel is waging a genocide on all of Palestine.
The antisemitic rhetoric is often Islamophobic, too.
The damage being done by the words the media chooses to use or not use to describe the events in the Middle East is unconscionable.

That’s fine. You clearly aren’t cut out for driving slightly slower in residential areas, so it’s probably best you don’t risk it.
Englishman says he'll 'stop coming' to Wales on holiday because 20mph limit is 'too risky'

What exactly are these friends doing now, and why is the answer not "vigorously and vocally opposing the murder of innocent civilians exacted as retaliation for the murder of innocent civilians"?

I spoke Israelis whose loved ones were killed or taken hostage by Hamas militants: despite unimaginable grief, they're calling for an end to bloodshed, for the protection of Gaza civilians, for Gaza not to be destroyed. Brave voices in the bleakest moment independent.co.uk/news/world…
Descriptivism tells us that Excel is the world's most popular database.
@QuinnyPig tells us Route 53 is a close second.
No "everyone" has not "sprayed the 20mph signs".
The councils have sprayed the 20mph signs because they're illegal, just like 30mph signs in England.

Wales has changed the limit that applies on "restricted roads" where lighting is closer than 200 yards. On restricted roads, you have a sign where the limit changes, and a reminder where enforcement happens. Anything else is a repeater, and default limit repeaters are illegal.
ALT TSRGD 2016 Sch.10 pt.4 dir.2, as amended by TSRGD(W) 2023: 2. This sign must not be placed as a repeater sign where— (a)in relation to England, the road is subject to a maximum speed limit of 30 mph and has a system of carriageway lighting; or (b)in relation to Wales, the road is subject to a maximum speed limit of 20 mph and has a system of carriageway lighting.

Hamas is a terrorist organization, of that there is no question, no ambiguity. They must be dismantled.
Killing non-combatants because they're in the way communicates that their lives are inherently worth less than those Hamas threatens.
Neither take should be controversial.

Can we all agree that the Israel-Hamas war made it clear that Twitter, under new management, is significantly worse? Intentional or not, it's now orders of magnitude easier to mislead the masses here. As still the most adopted platform, this has grave implications for democracy.
