Update on my deportation from the UK

deeply saddened by the passing of my colleague, Literal Hitler. while we disagreed on many things, he always knew how to make us laugh.

🇪🇬🇹🇷 An American gay cruise carrying 2,000 passengers has now been denied entry by both Turkey and Egypt in the same week. The Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady, chartered by Atlantis Events and featuring Broadway star Patti LuPone onboard, was first barred from docking in Turkey after local authorities said the cruise was organized by groups whose "behaviors do not align with our society and moral values." After rerouting to Alexandria, passengers woke up to letters informing them that Egypt had also refused the ship entry, forcing another last-minute itinerary change. No official reason has been given by Egyptian authorities. Atlantis CEO Rich Campbell said the company had successfully visited Egypt on the same itinerary last year and described the decision as a surprise. The ship has now been rerouted to Chania, Crete, and later Montenegro. Passenger Randy Slovacek wrote: "If they don't want our tourism, we will sparkle and spend elsewhere." Campbell said Atlantis had sailed to Turkey 13 times over the past 25 years without incident, adding that U.S. diplomatic efforts failed to reverse the Turkish ban. Patti LuPone called Turkey's decision "furious," saying the ship was denied entry "simply because of who is onboard."

“He’s playing the political game with the most extreme elements in Israeli society. It won’t end well,” Opposition Leader Yair Lapid said in January 2023, just weeks after Netanyahu’s new coalition took office. The judicial reform was beginning to erupt, and the ultra-Orthodox parties were already blackmailing their way toward broader military exemptions. Lapid was reflecting the consensus when he predicted the government would fall by 2024, or “maybe even sooner.” When the protests continued to balloon and Netanyahu declared that this government would use “every day” of its mandate, he was greeted with laughter and disbelief. He was right. Yesterday, the Knesset officially set a date: Elections will be held on the originally scheduled October 27, the latest day permitted by law. This is the first time elections have been held on schedule in 38 years and the first government to complete a full term in 53 years. Despite the presence of both ultra-Orthodox parties, divine intervention had nothing to do with this coalition’s longevity. The plain truth is that the weaker the parties, the stronger the coalition: none of the far-right parties, the ultra-Orthodox parties, or the quickly fading New Hope had many other coalition options—and little to gain from another election. One implication of having an election date is that it sets up the competition before the competition: who gets what slot on the party lists. Under Israeli election law, political parties must finalize and formally submit their candidate slates to the Central Elections Committee by the 47th day before the election. And where there are hard deadlines, limited spots, and no shortage of candidates, chaos follows. A lot of airlines have an arrangement under which they take care of each other’s passengers in the event of unscheduled cancellations. There seems to be a similar agreement among the parties of the change bloc. Until two months ago, Bennett was busy administering placement tests—literally—to dozens of prospective candidates who besieged his offices, while Eisenkot could barely find enough candidates for the top 10. Now, as Yashar! takes off and closes in on Likud while Beyachad is grounded, the problem has reversed. Bennett has already announced eight candidates when, according to recent polls, that is roughly the number of seats his share of a joint list with Lapid would receive. Eisenkot, on the other hand, still needs to fill at least 15 more slots. With Eisenkot, there are no placement or loyalty tests, but there is an orderly process for the flood of applicants. First comes coordination in principle with other parties to verify who is courting whom, in order to prevent future opportunism and midterm party-hopping. Afterward comes a meeting with one of the senior team members, followed by a meeting with the party chairman himself. The candidates will be arranged in groups of 10: two safe tiers of 10 and a third that could become safe depending on final polling. Within each group, there will be roughly equal gender representation as well as age diversity. Eisenkot can call in plenty of big names, but most of them—like him—are old enough that “fresh face” is no longer part of the pitch. Those who do not make the list may instead be selected for the “List of 200.” These are the people expected to make up the professional ranks of the next government if the political tide turns: ministry directors general, heads of public authorities, deputy directors general, and board chairmen. Above all, the frantic pace at which things have been managed until now makes it easy to forget that the elections are still a long way off. There are still two months until the candidate lists close. At the equivalent point in previous election cycles, the Knesset had not even been dissolved yet, and no mergers had taken place. Bennett’s early move to unite with Lapid shuffled the deck and effectively pressed the WhatsApp-style double speed button on the entire race. Eisenkot, as is well known, does not operate with that kind of temperament. In short, the door is still open, and there is still plenty of room on board.

This alone makes him one of the most moral Russian Israelis BTW, most of them are crazy hardliner Zios

Rents in NYC have just hit an all-time high. Median market rate in June… Manhattan: $5,295/mo (+8.2% year-over-year) Brooklyn: $4,350 (+8.1%) NYC’s housing affordability crisis is at DefCon 1. We need to push harder on every front to address our housing shortage. Update zoning, invest more City $ in affordable units, lower the time & cost City bureaucracy imposes on construction, get 1000s of vacant regulated units back on the market. We need bold action. This is a crisis.

Palestine has outlived Lindsey Graham

Sinwar died on the battlefield resisting an occupation, hungry, and hadn’t eaten in 3 days. He has zero statements calling for the killing of children. Lindsey Graham died in a hospital, a millionaire. He has many statements calling for the elimination of occupied children.

דוד ביטן חייב לעוף מהליכוד לא ייתכן שאפס מאופס שרק הפריע לתפקוד הממשלה יקבע לראש הממשלה את הרשימה בגלל הג׳ובים והדילים המסריחים שלו. הגיעו מים עד נפש!

If it was 1945 liberals would be saying “my condolences to the Hitler family”

Retweet.

זאב קם מדווח השבוע ב׳מקור ראשון׳: ״יאיר גולן הוא המועמד הטבעי לתפקיד שר הביטחון בממשלת איזנקוט״. כן, שמעתם נכון. מי שמזהה ״תהליכים״, אומר שהחיילים שלנו ״הורגים תינוקות כתחביב״ ומתכוון להקים מדינה פלסטינית - יהיה שר הביטחון בממשלת איזנקוט.
