The British medical journal Lancet estimates that deaths from the Israel-US genocide in Gaza could be as high as 186,000. Zionism is Nazism.

The ministry officials to be disciplined, including senior deputy minister-level personnel, have been accused of repeatedly making intimidating remarks against their subordinates, causing psychological suffering, the sources said.

Kyodo hack manages to avoid calling it power harassment, bullying, threatening language and mental cruelty.

Labour is center-left.

Labour is pro-war neo-liberal just as the Tories are pro-war neo-liberal. There's no difference between them. The opposition to pro-war neo-liberal in Europe is nationalist neo-fascist. That's what "democracy" has become there now. There are no left-wing parties in the traditional meaning of the term.

There was a "no-pan shabu shabu" restaurant in Kanda years ago and a bar allegedly designed by HR Giger of Alien fame in Shirokanedai in the 1980s.

It's nice they celebrate the end of their civil war.

Yes, the one between the slave traders and the slave owners. The slave owners won.

How sad that mass shootings have become such commonplace that they're treated like seasonal weather warnings.

The American people must be inured to random murder at home in order for them to accept the industrial mass murder of millions by their government abroad.

Comedy gold.

Leaders of the Uniparty Empire declared themselves above international law years ago, and now they're above the laws of their own country. The flimsy facade of Yanqui democracy is dead and buried forever.

Whoever is in charge of this horrorshow should be held accountable....

Real Madrid playmaker Arda Guler scored a brilliant goal

Did you see that? He must have a foot like a traction engine.

While the US is the largest supplier of weapons to Israel, Germany is second, the UK is third and Italy fourth. Perhaps Netanyahu should ask Germany for more bombs to blow innocent men, women and children to pieces in Gaza.

You’re not following what’s happening in Japan very closely.

On the NHK 7pm news last night there was a feature on the current round of food price increases, one of which is rice. There were several reasons given for the sudden jump in the price of rice, such as the hot summer and torrential rain last year which damaged the crop last summer and autumn.

They also blamed "foreign tourists" - apparently the influx of tourists is diverting rice from supermarkets to restaurants catering to tourists. Nowhere did the feature mention that the Japanese government has been paying farmers not to grow rice for years, in order to maintain an artificially high price.

Both are pro-genocide imperialists, supporters of the endless for-profit wars waged by the US around the world. Trump is a common criminal, both are corrupt. What an utter horrorshow US politics has become...

Shinji Morimoto, chair of the upper house committee on economy and industry, said the bill "prohibits acts that may restrict competition related to specified software".

Funny. The LDP exists to restrict competition, always has done.

Over 15,000 children dead, 9 in 10 children living in poverty and on the brink of starvation and all Netanyahu and Gantz can do is keep repeating their embarrassing line about "Israel is the most moral army in the world".

Gaza now has the largest population of child amputees in the world. In January UNICEF estimated that around 1,000 children in Gaza had lost one or both of their legs. This is a rate of 10 per day. Many of these operations were done without anaesthetic.

“To surrender to bullies, to bow down to dictators, is simply unthinkable,” he said

Unless of course they're American-supported dictators murdering children with American-made bombs from American factories funded by American tax money. The hypocrisy is beyond belief.

The mendacious Biden exploiting D-Day for his own re-election is truly disgusting. This should be a time of quiet reflection on the bravery of those ordinary men and women who gave their lives to end fascism in Europe, not some Hollywood-style self-glorifying celebrity production. Grotesque and nauseating.

The old alliance against fascism needs to be active again.

It is. About 90% of the world is in it....

Comedy gold. This "new cease-fire proposal" is the one that Hamas surprised the US and the genocidal Zionist government of Israel with last month, the one that the Israelis rejected out of hand. This article is just US government propaganda, lies and half-truths. Garbage.

The descent of the US political elite into a bottomless black pit of genocide, fascism, for-profit-war, lies and endless corruption continues to accelerate.

She is a neo lib shill and not even very good at that

She talks nonsense and is very unpopular with her own staff, by all accounts. The Democrat leadership wanted to dump her but firing a woman of colour would have sent an unfortunate message to the voters, apparently. One would imagine that the Netanyahu - Biden Gaza genocide is sending an even worse message, but that's US politics for you.

We are going to be the voice of opposition

In the recent UK local elections there was a total of 2,658 seats up for contention. Farage's Reform party won 2. He is the voice of nothing.

WHAT “Experts”, chinese “Experts” ?

The International Institute for Strategic Studies, according to this article. The International Institute for Strategic Studies is largely funded by the ruling family of the Gulf dictatorship Bahrain.

"The government of Bahrain continued imposing restrictions on expression, assembly, and association. Elections are neither free nor fair, and opposition voices are systematically excluded and repressed.

Many members of Bahrain’s political opposition, as well as activists, bloggers, and human rights defenders, continue to be imprisoned for their roles in the 2011 pro-democracy protests and for more recent political activism. They have faced brutal treatment, including torture and denial of medical care. Authorities failed to hold officials accountable for torture and ill-treatment in detention."

Genocidal criminal Netanyahu in stilted dialogue with the deranged Nikki Haley, who claims that Israel is fighting "America's enemies". Insane, unhinged beyond words. Imagine believing that all those children, old folks, journalists. UNRWA staff and all the rest are "America's enemies".

Would be interesting to know what he said.

He said, "Your majesty is like a big jam doughnut with cream on the top."

Nikki Haley, former US ambassador to the United Nations and presidential candidate, this week visited the West Bank and signed some American bombs. She wrote, "Finish them". Bombs sent by a Democrat for a genocide, endorsed by a Republican. The US Uniparty political elite supports genocide.

Uncharacteristically sloppy defending from City and some misfortune in front of goal combined with the Soccerdevils' overpaid veterans deciding to turn up and play for once cost us another trophy.

Bring on next season!

beware of scam artists, government warns

But the government are the scam artists....

Everyone loves them.

In a meeting with Arab-American leaders this week Tony Blinken told them that if Palestine became a state, federal US law would mandate the US defunding of the UN, which would then be forced to cut the World Food Programme and others, resulting in mass global starvation.

Blinken literally threatened to starve the world if Palestinians got their own state. This is blackmail. The US is a terrorist, genocidal rogue state.

Tony Benn was prescient throughout his career

Watching old videos of Tony Benn on YouTube makes me want to weep, he was so right so often.

I had high hopes of a fairer, more caring Britain under Corbyn, and had also hoped to sometime return home, but that changed when right-wingers of Labour decided to shaft Corbyn, and do anything to prevent them winning in 2016 and 2019. If Starmer wins, I will not be going home again. Not even in a coffin.

I go back to see family and friends but that's it. Who was it said that Labour right wingers were the worst backstabbers in British politics?

Assange is a hero of the truth

Damn right, and that's why they want to kill him

Hopefully the ICC will also be charging every American and British politician who took money to support the Gaza Genocide:

Imagine being so corrupt, so morally bankrupt that you'd abuse your position to take money from a genocidal, child-murdering apartheid state dedicated to destroying freedom of speech in your country.

The NSA spies on everyone in Japan already, why do they need more spies?
