The Israel lobby is at it again. The Israel-supporting council in Barnet UK, long an epicentre of the antisemitism scam, has approved a motion declaring anti-Zionism to be antisemitism. The motion targets the Green party’s landmark declaration that Zionism is racism.

Gaza did not lose its freedom after October 7. It had been denied it for decades.
No functioning airport. No seaport open to the world. No freedom to leave, to return, to seek treatment or simply see a loved one without barriers and permission.

Remember Gaza before October 7: children growing up with the world closed to them.
Their suffering did not begin when the world started watching.

Revenue per employee and profit margins are rising for the Magnificent Seven but flat for the other 493 S&P 500 companies.

Saturday El Niño update - Sea surface temperatures are still warming across Niño region 3.4 over the last week. Note that I finally had to readjust the scale on the map view, so it's not quite comparable to prior updates.

Stalingrad, 19h, et partout en France.
