Israel Considers Instituting a Death Penalty for Palestinians—but Not for Jews Today on TAP: Determined to prove that Zionism is indeed racism, a sizable minority of Knesset members backed that legislation. https://prospect.org/2025/11/11/israel-considers-instituting-death-penalty-for-palestinians-but-not-jews/ A significant share of the current Israeli government appears bound and determined to show the world that Zionism is racism. Yesterday, the Knesset voted by a 39-to-16 margin to advance legislation that would impose a mandatory death penalty on Palestinians who kill Jewish Israelis, while Jewish Israelis who kill Palestinians—a not-infrequent occurrence in the West Bank—would suffer no such consequences (currently, they invariably incur no penalties at all). The bill has not been passed. It now has to go to committee, and if passed there, it has to be put before the Knesset two more times, where it would require 61 votes (that is, a majority of the 120-member Knesset) to be enacted. But while the bill was introduced by Itamar Ben-Gvir’s far-right Jewish Power party, whose support Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu needs to keep his government in power, the two far-right parties in the Knesset have fewer than 39 members. Some members of Bibi’s own Likud party also voted for the measure. Now, it’s possible that Bibi allowed them to vote that way just to show his far-right backers that he hadn’t sold them out to occasional Middle East peacenik Donald Trump, and that he will rein in his backers on subsequent readings so that they deprive the bill of a majority. The legislation is so outrageous that a majority of Knesset members boycotted the vote altogether, reflecting the opposition coming not only from Israeli Arabs, but also from the nation’s centrists and its shrunken left, determined to resist the nation’s formal embrace of lynch-law racism. Or it’s just possible—unlikely, but possible—that the hatred in which Bibi’s government holds Palestinians, and its need to retain Ben-Gvir’s support, could eclipse all other considerations. If the bill were to become law, those considerations would include the very real possibility that those nations that recently recognized a Palestinian state—chiefly, Israel’s longtime European and Anglophone (except the U.S.) allies—might feel compelled to sever diplomatic and other relations with the state of Israel. They’d certainly come under popular pressure to do that. The bill’s enactment would almost surely push those nations toward adopting a policy of BDS—boycott, divestment, and sanctions—against Israel. Since it was founded in 1948, trials in Israel’s civilian courts have led to just one execution: that of Nazi genocide COO Adolf Eichmann in 1962. That, as the saying goes, was then.

Ange Postecoglou linked with Leeds job

word is (FWIW, it's probably bullshit) that Palace want £150m for Wharton

I agree that he cuases a lot of chaos for oppossing teams and I deffo would take him over ANY of our current LWers, but I just do not agree that he is 'the best winger in the EPL' atm. I would say he IS perhaps the 2nd best LWer after Antoine Semenyo atm. and then there are multiple RWers I rate over him (as a winger in general) atm: Bukayo Saka (the best winger overall in the EPL atm IMHO) Phil Foden (is rounding back into WC form after a difficult spell, I know he is hated here but he is a crazy good player when firing on all cylinders) Bryan Mbeumo (close and if Doku starts scoring more he will pass him up IMHO) Estêvão (if not now, then he soon will be better than Doku IMHO) Mohamed Salah is complicated. Up until until this season he was THE best winger in the EPL (no one else was close, not even Saka), if not the world (along with Yamine Lamal, and probably Michael Olise, as Mbappe and Ousmane Dembélé are now almost exclusively CF's, plus Vini Jr is in real turmoil and I rate all those listed in this sentence (save for Salah atm and a Vini Jr in current turmoil) over Raphinha, who is nonetheless a superb winger who I would kill to have on Chels) BUT Salah and Pool are both struggling a lot this season, and it looks like age may have finally caught with a 33yo Mo.

false framing it is not Americanising football at all to say scoring only 3 or 4 goals over 40 odd games (what he is tracking to atm) is NOT the stuff of the 'best winger in the EPL'

🙄 he has one EPL goal in 11 games the one today

timing is everything

great 2nd half

this aged well

boooooooooom 3 nil

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 2 nil

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Dire.

11 goals conceded to go

that would be you m8 no way Estevao benches Yamal, Olise, Saka, Salah and probably Doue atm

he would not start for Arse Bayern Barca PSG (probably) Pool

K-Swiss x Rakeem Miles Presents “Get Me Out the Woods” https://kswiss.com/pages/gmotw-2 The second installment of the Marina RMX Get Me Out the Woods, features new textures, fresh tones, and affirmations stitched into every pair. Find Rakeem Miles in his symbolic ghillie suit—a metaphor for the human desire to blend in versus the secret desire to stand out. If launching their premium K-Swiss Racquet Club initiative wasn’t enough indication on its own merits, look to Anwar Carrots’ creative stewardship of that sub-brand or their partnership with Rakeem Miles for proof that there’s a different air about the heritage brand’s recent efforts. After marking a sellout event alongside the LA multi-hyphenate, K-Swiss and Rakeem Miles are back together anew for Fall/Winter 2025, centering on a brightened colorway of the Marina RMX. Built off the platform of the already-existing Marina, one of the brand’s stronger embraces of chunky 90’s style, the RMX’s hardware speaks to the “Get Me Out The Woods” motif at the heart of this partnership. On top of evoking natural imagery and linking to Miles’ latest musical era, the concept lights the remodeled upper, utilizing dense multi-media applications with mesh underpinnings, corduroy toes, and jagged suede overlays. It just might be that sidewall section where things are at their most creative, almost running a treeline silhouette down the shoe’s quarter panel. In contrast to the initial look that tipped off the Miles x K-Swiss story, lighter tones in the upper and a tinted gum bottom carry tint the shoe in a brighter direction as the Marina RMX only gets stronger with time.

Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul—all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been—arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn’t just lose its soul—it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.
