    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Lotta continued to shout while other demonstrators stood in place and held signs such as “Where’s Snyder’s moral outrage over US backed genocide in GAZA?” and “Hitler killed 6 million Jews and Stalin saved 1.6 million Jews.”

                    Actually, what happened to Carrot Top is worse. He's quite aged now and still stuck doing the same old schtick, but in a bad wig.

                        Galloway, representing the far-left Workers Party of Britain after being ejected from the Labour Party two decades ago, was elected with just shy of 40% of the vote. He had based his campaign around appealing to the large Muslim minority in Rochdale.

                        “This is for Gaza,” he opened his acceptance speech Friday morning, accusing the opposition Labour Party of “enabling, encouraging and covering” Israeli actions in the war in Gaza. The Labour Party had no candidate on the ballot in Rochdale after withdrawing its support for a candidate who had been found to have made antisemitic remarks and entertained conspiracy theories about the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.

                        Galloway is an ardent anti-Zionist who was expelled from the Labour Party in 2003 for his opposition to the Iraq War and support for deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. He subsequently won elections in east London and Bradford, another town in northern England, by running populist, Middle East-centric campaigns aimed at Muslim voters.

                        and

                          Not directly related to the current war, but probably best forum thread to place this

                          https://www.jta.org/2024/03/11/global/us-religious-freedom-commission-leaves-saudi-arabia-after-rabbi-co-chair-is-told-to-remove-his-kippah

                          A U.S. government delegation tasked with monitoring religious freedom around the world cut a visit to Saudi Arabia short after Saudi officials demanded that a prominent rabbi on the trip remove his kippah.

                          Saudi officials told Rabbi Abraham Cooper, co-chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, to remove his kippah while in public, the commission said in a statement on Monday.

                          Cooper, an Orthodox rabbi and the director of global social action for the Simon Wiesenthal Center advocacy group, “politely” refused the request with the backing of U.S. embassy staff, the statement said.

                          Saudi officials then escorted the government delegation from the premises of Diriyah, a UNESCO World Heritage site on the outskirts of the Saudi capital, Riyadh. The delegation decided to end its visit to Saudi Arabia prematurely following the incident.

                            In 1945, Churchill gave a lunch in Egypt for King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia. Having been told that there could be no smoking or consumption alcohol in the presence of the king, Churchill informed his majesty that his own religion required “as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinnking of alcohol before, after, and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them. The King graciously accepted the position.”

                                I never thought about it that way. I took it as Churchill’s way of reminding the Saudi King that he was the guest and that he, Churchill, was the host in his capacity as Prime Minister of the Government of the United Kingdom and representative of the British Crown and Empire.

                                But I see what you’re saying.

                                        I am no fan of Bibi Netanyahu and think too that he has to go sooner rather than later; but what I think is neither here or there.

                                        However, what Schumer said in his capacity as Senate Majority Leader is way out of line. In that role what he says and does is of US foreign policy consequence. My opinion on Netanyahu’s suitability is of zero worth to anyone or anything.

                                        What Schumer said is interference in Israeli internal matters. He should be called upon to resign.

                                        Elbows up!
