In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
More incidents of friendly fire today. The IOF killed 5 of their own - seems these cnuts love firing at anything that moves, including their own.
Thanks, will read at some point (although I don't think it will do my mood any good).

Why does the media keep referring to those terrorists as activists?

Isn't this the position of the Israeli religious right (Smotrich)?'
e - the chief Rabbi being referred to here is British.

Well in the same way Hamas doesn’t refer to itself as a terrorist organisation, can’t expect Haaretz to refer to Israeli’s as terrorists.
BBC calls them protesters and CNN calls them settler activists.
I don't expect Haaretz to call them terrorists, it's the activist label I have an issue with. You see it also in Western media, and sometimes they just call them Jewish activists.
They should be labelled as terrorists in a similar mold of early Irgun/Stern Gang/ Haganah attacks a century ago.
I did not know Hamas has a newspaper. Haarretz ment to be a lefty free speech newspaper, but I guess no real free speech in Israel as we thought.
please stop this "who is a terrorist" discourse. it always goes in circles and never leads to anything productive. happens with every single mass killing in a non-american context too. the only value of this discourse is that the word "terrorist" is massively negative, while "militant" etc are not so we're always trying to put our side into the nicer box.
I blame the US.
Unmasking counterprotesters who attacked UCLA’s pro-Palestine encampment
American citizens are being abused by pro-Israel people for expressing their constitutional right to assemble. This is happening on U.S. soil, and nothing is being done. This reminds me of what's the settlers are doing in the West Bank: abuse others, without being stopped by the Israeli army/law enforcement. Biden is a big big disappointment.

Imagine a liberal state like California, the police watches the far right mob attack and terrorise peaceful protesters, just like the IDF watches the settlers kill and terrorise Palestanians.
This is why I mentioned Biden. He doesn't control the LAPD, but he's a Democrat president, and he sets the tone. Had he chosen to speak against this, I believe Newsom and other local officials would have acted differently. No one wants to undercut a sitting president from their party, particularly during an election year.
They may just regret all of this come November. The Dems could lose many minority and young voters, and not just in 2024. Not to mention of course the moral failure, which is big in itself.
So they tried to reach out to Jay-z to convince him condemn the pro Palestine protests. Because Jay-z is an expert in international politics?
They are trying to silence people who dare to protest policies of a foreign country... a country that equals 1/4 of California. They are trying to intimidate everyone.
Seriously, I think this will only make things worse.

Building a port with the rubble of the buildings they destroyed, mixed with the bodies of the people they killed. How sick is that?

Well well... it's always about the oil, isn't it.
Does anyone have any actual information on this, other than the tweet? I'll be honest, I didn't know there were vast oil reseves in Gaza.
There's massive gas reserves in the Gaza shores discovered by BG Group (a British company) in 2000 which are legally under the jurisdiction of the PA, according to the Oslo Accords. More than enough to power the Palestinian territories and allow exportation.
Israel currently prevents Palestinians the physical access to these fields.

Gas. Yes, Google Gaza gas. Off Gaza's coast (maritime area G) Israel granted 6 companies including BP and an Italian company license to extract. It's a grave violation of international law.
"Under international law, Israel is prohibited from using the limited non-renewable resources of the occupied territories for commercial gain and for the benefit of the occupying power, in accordance with the usufruct rules referred to in Article 55 of the Hague Regulations"
Here you can find a detailed analysis of the current situation:

Thanks all, that's so interesting, makes you think of a Norway-like economic possibility.
It would seem the only way the PA will gain access to the field is if they are in charge of Gaza.

It's a good question especially when you consider that Shin Bet label them as terrorists.

I've posted a bunch of stuff like this for 2 reasons:
1. I don't think Bibi is the fundamental barrier
2. "PA and Hamas schools teach kids hate"
It just occurred to me. Everyone in the world can now barge into their neighbour's house and take it over, and when they naturally come under attack, they have the right to defend themselves

Israelis are heavily indoctrinated from kindergarten on.
For example any talk of the Nakba is strictly forbidden in schools. Add to that the systematic militarization of the society, decades of occupation and dehumanization of the Palestininans and you'll get what what you actually see.
Israel is an anachronistic colonial society, operating within rules and laws that are at least a hundred years outdated. By all means and intent, it would have been stopped dead in its tracks decades ago by the very same powers that currently support it, if not for what happened during WWII.
The tragic farce will eventually come to an end at some point.

The Asian football confederation is backing a palestanian request to ban Israel. Also is backed by FAs of Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Syria and Yemen

Fifa to hold urgent meeting to decide if Israel should be thrown out of football
Assuming that this tweet has any credibility, that's never going to happen.
