Dozens of Palestinian workers from the West Bank who used to be laborers in Israel but have lost their ability to earn a living since Hamas’s October 7th attack were caught packed in shocking scenes inside a garbage truck, trying to get into Israel and pursue employment. The footage is horrendous and painful, showing an unbelievable level of desperation and a willingness to take immense risks in pursuit of any hope of economic sustenance. As you can imagine, they were apprehended by the Israeli police and are likely to face harsh conditions and treatments in Ben Gvir’s prisons, with no idea of what happens next to them. This is what Hamas’s terror and fascistic Jihadi nihilism does and produces; this is the result of a vicious attack that was not only wrong and immoral for obvious reasons, but brought unspoken devastation and suffering upon the Palestinian people. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian workers were able to build homes, establish families, send their kids to school, and have their basics covered through their work in Israel. All of that is gone, and with it, the hopes of a dignified life and hopes for a better future. This is also a condemnation of Palestinian leadership and the elites in the Palestinian Authority and elsewhere who have abdicated their responsibility to look after their own people. There’s an immense amount of wealth and privilege that is reserved for a few, who often gain at the expense of others through corruption, incompetence, and apathy. Billions of dollars in foreign aid have been allocated to the Palestinian economy, infrastructure, and capacity-building, but that hardly reaches most who are in need. And while Israel is responsible for the system of checkpoints and allowing out-of-control settlement expansion and violence that hinder economic activity, it is time for Palestinian leadership, factions, and those who endorse Hamas and violence to take responsibility and acknowledge that their own actions have contributed immensely to the pathetic and sad state of affairs that make Palestinian men hide in a garbage truck like packed sardines.

So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama's campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left. And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing. All organically, I'm sure. I'm a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you'll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne. This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico for defending religious exemptions THE CATECHISM ITSELF supports. But somehow Trump is the threat to human dignity. Pope Francis was bad. Leo has turned out to be worse. Francis at least was vague about his politics. Leo went and hired the consulting firm. The man has ignored the slaughter of Christians across Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Hundreds of believers murdered, churches burned, pastors kidnapped. His response? Platitudes about dialogue. OF COURSE he won't even name who's doing the killing. But he'll fly across continents to make interfaith gestures the week after his people coordinated a media hit on a sitting US president. The weaponization of belief is obvious. You get the Pope to pick a fight with Trump, and suddenly millions of conservative Catholics have to choose between their faith and their vote.

@nigelmp @MarkVipond Good Starmer was called to heel on live tv - now the Doeaker must hold him in contempt for his appalling behaviour on leaving the Commons after PMQs. Can only the Speaker do this? Starmer really must be held to account for his shocking behaviour. Too many witnesses to ignore it.

The Speaker got this spot on. It’s called Prime Minister’s questions which should be a bit of a hint. Questioning the authority of The Speaker on the way out after being reminded to focus on answering the questions from Kemi Badenoch is not a great look.
Conservatives@Conservatives

It’s called Prime Minister’s Questions, @Keir_Starmer. Kemi asks the questions. You answer them. This really should not be difficult.

عـــــــــــــاجل 🔴 طرح الرئيس شي جين بينغ اليوم الثلاثاء خلال لقائه ولي عهد أبوظبي الشيخ خالد بن محمد في بكين مقترحا مكونا من أربع نقاط بشأن تطورات الأوضاع في الغرب الأوسط وأكد فيه ضرورة: 1// الالتزام بمبدأ التعايش السلمي. إن دول الغرب الأوسط بما في ذلك دول الخليج مترابطة ببعضها مثل الشفتين والأسنان، وهي جيران لا يمكن الفصل بينهم، ينبغي دعمها في إصلاح البين وبناء إطار أمني مشترك مستدام من شأنه ترسيخ دعائم التعايش. 2// الالتزام بمبدأ سيادة الدول. يجب الاحترام الجاد لسيادة دول المنطقة وأمنها وسلامة أراضيها وضمان سلامة الأفراد والمؤسسات والمنشآت فيها لأن السيادة أساس بقاء الدول لا سيما الدول النامية، ولا يجوز انتهاكها. 3// التمسك بسيادة القانون الدولي. يجب علينا صون سلطة القانون الدولي وهيبته، لا يمكن أن نستخدم هذا القانون إذا تماشى مع مصلحتنا ونتركه إذا تناقض مع مصلحتنا، هذا أمر مرفوض! ولا يجوز أن يرتد العالم إلى منطق شريعة الغاب! 4// التوفيق بين التنمية والأمن. إن الأمن شرط أساسي للتنمية، أما التنمية فهي ضمان الأمن. على مختلف الأطراف تهيئة الظروف المواتية للتنمة في دول المنطقة وضخ الطاقة الإيجابية فيها.

🚨 TRUMP JUST WENT OFF ON THE UK "Europe is desperate for Energy, and yet the United Kingdom refuses to open North Sea Oil, one of the greatest fields in the World. Tragic!!!" 🔥 "Aberdeen should be booming. Norway sells its North Sea Oil to the U.K. at double the price. They are making a fortune. U.K., which is better situated on the North Sea for purposes of energy than Norway, should, DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!!" "It is absolutely crazy that they don’t… AND, NO MORE WINDMILLS!" 🤣

The trains have stopped. A Muslim woman and an Orthodox Jew stand in shared silence as sirens ring out for the six million. The imagery of the halted light rail carries immense weight today, echoing the dark history of the camps. This is Israel. #YomHaShoah #HolocaustRemembranceDay #Israel

@edfenergy I’ve been sent a letter addressed to me as a “new customer” in a “first & top flat”. None of this is correct: this is a single house, I’ve lived here 26 years, and I’m with another supplier. This appears to be a significant data mistake. I need this escalated urgently

Rt Hon Nigel Evans
Rt Hon Nigel Evans@nigelmp·
EU regulations will be imposed on UK using Henry 8 th powers- meaning MPs will not get to scrutinize and vote on them. Brussels will effectively set our standards to which we will align automatically. This is a double denial of democracy- it defies the 2016 Brexit referendum and sidesteps proper effective parliamentary democracy. Starmer has form here though as he even tried to stop people voting in many local elections taking place on May 7 th- well thankfully that failed. I know Starmer is trying to abolish jury trials but the up coming elections will be the biggest jury trial Labour will have faced since the last General Election and the polls all point to one thing- This Government is serving out its notice!

I am not sure how such news passed without proper notice. But Hamas today refused to start disarming for the entry of the new Gaza technocratic committee. On another note, the countries that pledged to donate money to the board of Peace and the reconstruction of Gaza are still hesitant given Hamas's control over the Strip and the war in Iran. (Only US, UAE, and Morocco have funded so far out of 10 countries pledged funds). Hamas is blocking the rebuilding of Gaza since the ceasefire, and the absolute silence about this is something no short of shameful.

As long as the UAE is not in Islamabad, JD Vance and the Islamic regime in Iran will fail in Pakistan. The UAE does not, and will not, accept the Islamic regime in Iran controlling access to the Strait of Hormuz, nor possessing nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, drones, or any capabilities that threaten regional security. This regime must issue a formal apology to the UAE for its aggression, acknowledge its actions, provide full compensation for any harm caused to individuals and institutions, and guarantee non-repetition. Otherwise, what comes next will be devastating for this terrorist regime.

For the Trump administration to understand: The Strait of Hormuz is NOT OPEN. The UAE does not and will NEVER accept the Islamic regime in Iran imposing CONDITIONS on access. The UAE is not Britain or the EU. It does not accept any terrorist actor restricting freedom of navigation. As for Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia negotiating to keep the regime afloat, understand this: no state has a legitimate right to decide who may pass and under what terms. That is international law, not a bargaining chip. Shame on United Kingdom, NATO, European Union, and anyone who tolerates this regime’s terrorism and piracy.
