“My inescapable conclusion has become that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. Having grown up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of my life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier and officer and spent most of my career researching and writing on war crimes and the Holocaust, this was a painful conclusion to reach, and one that I resisted as long as I could. But I have been teaching classes on genocide for a quarter of a century. I can recognize one when I see one.

The continued denial of this designation by states, international organizations and legal and scholarly experts will cause unmitigated damage not just to the people of Gaza and Israel but also to the system of international law established in the wake of the horrors of the Holocaust, designed to prevent such atrocities from happening ever again. It is a threat to the very foundations of the moral order on which we all depend.”

#ExtremeWeather is the #UK's new normal, says Met Office

Justin Rowlatt, July 13, 2025

"The UK is breaking #heat and #rainfall records increasingly frequently as its climate continues to warm, the Met Office has warned.

"The country's changing weather patterns mean the UK now experiences a 'notably different' climate to what it was just a few decades ago, its State of the UK Climate report says.

"We now have many more very hot days and many fewer extremely cold nights, according to this latest assessment.

"It shows just how much #GlobalWarming caused by the vast emissions of #GreenhouseGases our civilisation creates is reshaping the country's climate.

"Climate change is bringing more #SevereWeather events like #storms and #flooding - and inevitably the country's changing climate is having an impact on the #NaturalWorld, with some species suffering.

"The report focuses on 2024, when the UK experienced its second-warmest February, warmest May, warmest spring, fifth-warmest December, and fifth-warmest winter since records began in 1884.

"The Met Office highlights that some of these records have already been surpassed in 2025 - more evidence of this trend towards more extreme weather.

"This summer many parts of the country are in the throes of their third heatwave with very warm weather reaching into #Wales, #NorthernIreland and #Scotland as well as southern #England."

More than 20 states sue Trump administration over frozen #AfterSchoolCare, #SummerPrograms and more.

Some of the withheld money funds after-school and summer programming at Boys & Girls Clubs, the #YMCA or #PublicSchools, attended by 1.4 million children and teenagers nationwide

By BIANCA VÁZQUEZ TONESS
Updated 5:12 PM EDT, July 14, 2025

Excerpt: "At the East Providence summer camp, Aiden, a rising third grader, played tag, built structures with magnetic tiles, played a fast-paced game with the other kids to review addition and subtraction, learned about pollination, watched a nature video and ate club-provided chicken nuggets.

"Veteran teachers from his school corrected him when he spoke without raising his hand and offered common-sense advice when a boy in his group said something inappropriate.

" 'When someone says something inappropriate, you don’t repeat it,' teacher Kayla Creighton told the boys between answering their questions about horseflies and honeybees.

"Indeed, it’s hard to find a more middle-of-the road organization in this country than the Boys & Girls Club.

"Just last month, a Republican and a Democrat sponsored a resolution in the U.S. House celebrating the 165-year-old organization as a 'beacon of hope and opportunity.' The Defense Department awarded the club $3 million in 1991 to support children left behind when their parents deployed for the Persian Gulf. And ever since, the Boys & Girls Club has created clubs on military installations to support the children of service members. Military families can sign up their kids for free.

[...]

"Aiden’s mother has started looking into afternoon child care for September when kids return to school in Rhode Island.

" 'It costs $220 a week,' Reyes said, her eyes expanding. 'I can’t afford that.'

"The single mother and state worker said she’ll probably ask her 14-year-old son to stay home and watch Aiden. That will mean he would have to forgo getting a job when he turns 15 in the fall and couldn’t play basketball and football.

" 'I don’t have any other option,' she said.

"At home, Aiden would likely stay inside on a screen. That would be heartbreaking since he’s thrived getting tutoring and 'learning about healthy boundaries' from the Boys & Girls Club program, Reyes said."

An Israeli plan to transfer Gaza residents to a “humanitarian city” sparks anger and criticism

An Israeli proposal to transfer Gaza residents to a so-called “humanitarian city” has come under fire, with critics describing it as, at best, a costly diversion and, at worst, a potential first step toward expelling Palestinians from their land.Isr

Selling England by the pound taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/0… Why is England (and I do mean England, in particular) in such decline? That's because the City put up a 'For Sale' sign over it in the 1980s, and the logic still is that everything must go.

Hamas Says It Won’t Sign a “Surrender” Agreement, As War of Attrition Intensifies

Jeremy Scahill
Jul 14, 2025

Immediately after Trump announced what he called the “final proposal” for a Gaza deal, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu undermined the negotiating process, repeatedly announcing—in public—his intent to continue the war after securing the release of ten living Israeli captives in a temporary 60-day truce and to forge ahead with his ethnic cleansing campaign to force the surviving Palestinians out of Gaza. “After the pause, we will transfer the population in the Strip southward and impose a siege [on the rest of Gaza],” Netanyahu told far-right cabinet minister Bezalel Smotrich recently, according to Israel’s Channel 12.

"El alcalde de #TorrePacheco está diciendo que tiene un problema de delincuencia. Pues vamos a los datos.

Datos de 2024. Torre Pacheco tiene una tasa de 48 delitos por cada 1.000 habitantes, que es justo la media nacional. La misma, que es de 48 delitos por cada 1.000 habitantes.

Para que pongáis en perspectica. En Madrid la tasa es de 62 delitos por cada 1000 hb, en Barcelona es de 68 por cada 1000 hb, en Valencia es de 50 y en Sevilla es de 54. Es decir, Torre Pacheco es más seguro que las grandes ciudades.

Pero si lo comparamos con Murcia es de 51 delitos por cada 1000 habitantes.

Ahora vamos por la tasa de inmigración.

En Torre Pacheco la tasa de inmigración es del 30%, cuando en Murcia es del 13%. Es decir, en Murcia hay más delincuencia con menos de la mitad de porcentaje de inmigración con respecto a su población. En Sevilla, que tiene una tasa de delitos mayor la tasa de inmigración es del 7,5%. Cuatro veces menor.

Sé que los datos no sirven demasiado para los que odian, pero si sirve para que alguien con buena voluntad abra los ojos y para desmentir al alcalde del PP de Torre Pacheco aquí están."

RED TAPE is capitalism's code word for regulation, which it thinks is all about simply costing them more money to do business. But in reality, the regulations are there to protect consumers and citizens from the short-cuts and skimpings that deregulated capitalism would foist on us - dodgy buildings, cars falling apart, consumer goods not safe etc. Red Tape keeps us safe and the capitalists honest.

EU trade ministers agreed Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of 30% tariffs on the European Union was “absolutely unacceptable,” and they are studying a new set of countermeasures to respond to the move. The ministers met Monday in Brussels following Trump’s surprise announcement over the weekend of such hefty tariffs, which could have repercussions for governments, companies and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. #us #usa #news #America #trump #tarrifs #europe #EU

"Judaism is not Zionism, and those who argue they are one and the same are being fundamentally dishonest. Yet collectively, Jews are often held responsible when the world's only Jewish state claims to act in our name.
For many Jews in the diaspora, Israel was framed as a beacon of freedom, a place of refuge in the event of pogroms or genocide.
But what if the victims of the Nazi genocide are now perpetrating a genocide against the Palestinians?
The Jewish community is undergoing a long-overdue moral reckoning with its identity, role and responsibility. Only some are meeting the moment."
