@doctor_rahmeh @gmcuk Thank you for your courage and integrity. You are paying a high price, but you are doing a brilliant job of highlighting the gross influence of the Zionist enterprise. The Germans must have known but the GMC doesn't? Give us a break! Stay strong. Good luck 🤞.

UPDATE: My medical licence suspension review is next Wednesday – 20 May – 9AM – St James Building, Manchester. As many of you know, besides being arrested 5 times, the pro‑'israel' lobby also reported me to the British medical regulator @GMCUK. I won the first investigation. The lobby escalated their vexatious complaints and began smearing me in the press. The GMC opened a second investigation. The lobby demanded I be referred to a tribunal (to place conditions on or suspend doctors while under investigation). The GMC referred me to an Interim Orders Tribunal at the @the_mpts. I won. The lobby demanded I be re‑referred. They demanded my suspension. Health Secretary @wesstreeting - who is funded by the 'israel' lobby - made unfounded public comments against my win. He also threatened the tribunal with lawfare. Eight days later, the GMC referred me to the tribunal – AGAIN. The second tribunal suspended me for 15 months on 26 November 2025. Next week at the review, I will put forward my case again. The existing suspension can be maintained, replaced with conditions, or revoked. Remember: I have never had a single patient complaint in my 7‑year career. This is political persecution. Because I opposed genocide and supremacism. This is a public hearing. You are welcome to attend. We will fight. We will win. Free Palestine 🇵🇸. Free Britain 🇬🇧. 📅 Date: 20 May 2026 ⏰ Time: 9:00 – 17:00 📍 Address: St James Building, 79 Oxford St, Manchester M1 6FQ

@ok6ixx Motorbike riders in continental Europe do this as well, a raise of the left fingers off the handle when they pass another biker. Coming from Australia where we drive on the left and lifting fingers off the throttle is less simple, this isn't done as much. Comraderie.

I took a bus in rural Hokkaido and noticed something weird. Every time the driver passed another bus going the opposite direction, both drivers would wave at each other. Every. Single. Time. I asked the driver about it when I got off. He said all the bus drivers in the region do it. It's not a rule or anything, just something they all decided to do. "Why?" I asked. He said "driving a bus in winter here is lonely. Sometimes you go hours without seeing another bus. When you finally do, it's nice to know someone else is out there doing the same job. The wave means 'I see you. Stay safe.'" He said in winter when the roads are really bad, that wave means even more. "It's like saying 'we're going to make it through today.'" Then he told me last winter, he was driving in a blizzard and almost went off the road. Passed another bus right after, both of them going slow in horrible conditions. They waved at each other. "I was really scared before that wave. Afterwards, I felt okay. Someone else was out there too. I wasn't alone." I took that bus route three more times during my trip. I watched the waves every time. Never missed a single one.

🚨🇮🇱Haaretz Newspaper: Netanyahu will go, but the state will die with him after he destroyed its foundations and exhausted the military. The report warns that society is fractured and Israel has lost all international sympathy, becoming globally hated due to his policies. Repairing the damage is now a "mirage" as the judiciary, media, and Knesset have been hollowed out and lost their balance

I’m really gonna miss my Sixt Hire Bus. Yes I had to wait 2 hours for it, yes it’s scratched to shit, yes it has 7 seats instead of the 8 I ordered, and yes driving it around the narrow streets of Como was sometimes scary - but these V-Classes drive so well, are super comfy, have enough power and handle like an F1 car (or is that because I hired it). A very capable machine all round. I loved it.

Histories of the Holy Land Podcast@TheHistoryOfTh5·
I don't know about you, but I imagine the Iron Age as a time when every city had its own local blacksmith smelting ore over a backyard fire. But a recent find at the bottom of the Dor Lagoon blew that image out of the water. Literally. For the last few years, underwater archaeologists from the University of Haifa have been scanning the shallow surf zone of the Carmel Coast. Hidden under layers of sand and rock-hard marine crust, they found blooms, heavy, raw lumps of unrefined iron from a 2,500-year-old shipwreck. Here is why this is a game-changer. We thought if you wanted iron swords or plowshares, you mined and smelted the ore locally. This shipwreck proves the opposite. Iron was a massive, international maritime commodity. It was being mass-produced in one part of the world and shipped as "raw stock" to be forged elsewhere. That means Iron Age supply chains were much closer to modern ones than we think. A merchant in a harbor like Dor could order "500 kilos of raw iron" from overseas, just like a modern factory orders steel today. Smelting (extracting metal) and forging (shaping tools) were two separate industries located hundreds of miles apart.

Going thru photos and found these. This was when I was walking the halls of congress for President Trump during Impeachment #1. I learned of the rules hearing being held in the Capitol so I went. I was seated just a few rows back behind Raskin as he was presenting his case. Well, my face tells the story, I've never been good at hiding my feelings. As he would lie my facial reaction reflected I thought he was full of it. I didn't know I was in the TV frame as it was being broadcast. I started getting text messages from friends and family that my facial reactions were being notice and memes were being shared etc. A Capitol official came over to me and whispered for me to get up and move, I said no thanks I'm fine. Since that didn't work, they brought in this really tall lady and sat her right in front of me. You see the pic of me leaning over and peeking out anyway. The picture at the elevator, I am going after Jerry Nadler, letting him have it, oh good times! I did a lot of work for Trump and I truly believed in him, I wish I still could.

Wow! This delusional take did not age well… AT ALL. When you have the level of “military success” that takes out the top TWO tiers of an enemy’s leadership… the bulk of their navy… their ENTIRE air force… And, have the finger on the trigger to start destroying their entire infrastructure with impunity… Demanding unconditional surrender IS the most logical course and, how you stop the destruction. Lots of words to demonstrate complete ignorance.🙄

⚡️ Retired US Army Colonel: Vance was not looking for negotiations, he simply wanted Iran's surrender Daniel Davis: 🔹️Vance's claim that these talks were a "last chance" is a bad sign. That's not how diplomacy works. 🔹️To think that a single diplomatic meeting can end a war is completely unrealistic. 🔹️If this was truly America's final offer, then there were no negotiations at all; it was just an ultimatum accompanied by a demand for surrender. 🔹️It is unlikely that Iran will accept such terms, and most likely this will only start the countdown to the resumption of war. 🔹️Our problem is that the same reasons that prevented us from achieving military success in the first six weeks are still present, and we are unlikely to have success in the next six weeks either. 🔹️Meanwhile, Iran will maintain control of Hormuz, oil prices will remain high, and the shortage of chemical fertilizers that were coming out of the Gulf will continue to put severe pressure on the global economy, especially the US. 🔹️This is not a good day for America.

My elderly aunt told me that in the 1950s, when she was living in a remote cottage in Scotland, they heard mysterious banging on the door at night. Terrified, they nervously opened the door to find an eerie sight; a hare sitting there in the moonlight. It had been bashing the door with its feet. It was an uncanny experience, especially knowing the folkloric tradition that witches can take the form of a hare…

I'm not claiming that anything nefarious is happening here, but this seemingly coordinated media push by many supporters of Israel to call out Jewish terrorism in the West Bank is odd for a lot of different reasons. For one thing, this violence has been going on for decades, and it's absolutely nothing new. The question is obviously, why is this happening right now? Perhaps the level of attacks have become so grave that it is unavoidable? I don't think so. Maybe this is a diversion from other Israeli state quests that are going pear-shaped? Could be. The larger and more interesting issue is that, if you really want to call out Jewish terrorism in the West Bank, you have to call out the Israeli government's support for these Jewish extremists from the beginning of the occupation. Jewish settlers in the West Bank do not exist without the full backing of the Israeli state, and they never have. If we're calling out Jewish terror in the West Bank, we are calling out the behavior of the state itself. Has this logical end point of the argument been thought out by advocates like Abe Foxman? For my money, I don't think it has.
Abraham Foxman@FoxmanAbraham

I add my name to the London Initiative , a letter directed to Israel’s President Herzog,calling for action against “Jewish extremist terror in the West Bank” ! Israel cannot afford such behavior to go on without it being punished. The coalition government has been too tolerant of such behavior. It hurts Israel and the Jewish people.Also ,this weeks interference with Catholic prayer in Jerusalem ,was unacceptable !

Iran is waging the most strategic, smartest war we’ve ever seen. (Timings below approximate) Day 1 radars and radomes of US and Israeli air defence systems. Day 15 the satellite communications base stations. Day 26 the AWAC sent in to replace them. Iran has blinded the Pentagon.

The Pentagon is terrified. An expert explains that an AWACS plane is the literal brain of US air operations, tracking every missile and jet within 250 miles. By destroying it, Iran has permanently crippled the American military's ability to fight in the region.

The real story about the NATO countries refusing to help the United States is not that they disagree with American policy. In fact, they’re very happy we’re eliminating Iran as a threat. They’re just afraid of all the Muslims they let in, so they won’t say it out loud. The real story, however, is the fact that they don’t have a military that’s capable of performing the mission. So next time some geebo from Denmark starts crowing about how they turned down their NATO ally, ask them what ship they could deploy to the Persian Gulf within one week that could conduct those operations. And you will never get an answer because the answer is none.

Hours ago, Trump went on Fox News to announce he is calling European allies and regional governments to form a coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Hours later, Germany said no. “As long as this war continues, there will be no participation, not even in any effort to keep the Strait of Hormuz open by military means.” That is the German government spokesperson. On the record. Today. This is the moment the market’s quick-resolution thesis died. Think about what just happened. The United States asked the largest economy in Europe, the country that received the most American support during the Russian energy crisis, the NATO ally that benefits most from Gulf energy transits, to help reopen a 21-mile waterway carrying one-third of global seaborne fertilizer trade and a fifth of world oil. Germany said it has nothing to do with NATO. And walked away. Japan already declined. Australia already declined. The US Navy confirmed on March 12 it is not ready for escorts. Minesweeping assets were retired in 2025. Trump is demanding roughly seven countries send warships. The number of confirmed commitments as of this evening: zero. Now do the math on the calendar. Even if a coalition somehow materializes next week, minesweeping a 21-mile corridor saturated with Iranian mines and drone threats under active fire takes weeks of operational preparation. Then escorts must begin. Then insurance must recalibrate. Solvency II capital buffers depleted by 26 months of Red Sea losses do not rebuild in days. Reinsurance treaties must be renegotiated. Individual vessels must be re-underwritten. The Red Sea precedent is 26 months old and premiums never returned to pre-crisis levels. The Corn Belt needs nitrogen by mid-April. India needs Kharif prep by May. Australia needs urea by June. Do you see the problem. The coalition timeline is measured in months. The planting window is measured in weeks. These two clocks do not intersect. The food the world eats in late 2026 is being decided right now by soil chemistry, not by which foreign minister picks up Trump’s phone call. Nearly 49% of globally traded urea is tied to conflict-exposed Gulf exporters. Transit has collapsed 97%. Bangladesh has shut five of six urea factories during its primary rice season. India formally asked China for emergency urea. China responded by banning phosphate exports through August. Egypt is bleeding foreign reserves to feed 69 million people on bread subsidies priced for a world that no longer exists. 318 million people were at crisis-level hunger before any of this started. Germany’s GDP will take a 0.2 to 0.4 percentage point hit from the energy shock alone. TTF gas is up 45 to 60 percent since the closure. And Berlin just told Washington it will not lift a finger to fix it. The country that shut down its nuclear plants, became dependent on imported gas, and now refuses to help secure the strait through which that gas flows. The irony writes itself. The consequences do not. The $20 billion DFC reinsurance backstop with Chubb has zero confirmed fertilizer vessel utilization. Insurance compensates for financial loss. It does not sweep mines that Germany will not help clear. Every hour that passes without escorts is another hour closer to the planting deadline. Every ally that declines is another month added to the normalization timeline. Every month added is another harvest lost on the steep side of the quadratic yield curve where the world’s poorest farmers operate. Germany’s rejection is not a diplomatic footnote. It is the confirmation signal that the molecules stay trapped through spring. The planting window does not care about your coalition politics. It is closing. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

BREAKING: Trump is personally calling European allies and regional governments begging them to send warships to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Read that again. The President of the United States, commanding the most powerful navy in human history, is calling around asking for help to reopen a 21-mile waterway. That single fact tells you everything you need to know about how severe this crisis actually is. If the US could reopen Hormuz alone, it would have done so two weeks ago. It has not. The Navy confirmed on March 12 it is “not ready” for escort operations. Minesweeping assets were retired in 2025. Japan and Australia have already declined. Now Trump is demanding roughly seven countries send warships, framing it as reciprocity for US support in Ukraine, warning NATO faces a “very bad future” if allies refuse. No commitments have been received. Zero. And while heads of state negotiate who sends which frigate, the biological clock that governs whether four billion people eat next year is ticking toward deadlines that do not wait for coalition logistics. The Corn Belt needs nitrogen applied by mid-April. India needs Kharif season prep by May. Australia needs urea by June. These are not financial deadlines that reprice. They are photosynthetic deadlines that, once missed, lock in yield losses no subsequent intervention can reverse. The food the world eats in late 2026 and early 2027 is being decided right now, in fields, not in war rooms. Here is what the coalition talk actually means for markets: It confirms the crisis is real. Governments do not scramble multinational naval coalitions for temporary disruptions. It confirms the US cannot solve this alone. It confirms the timeline is months, not weeks. The 1987 Tanker War coalition took months to assemble and attacks continued throughout. The Red Sea crisis is 26 months old and premiums never normalized. Even if allies commit warships tomorrow, minesweeping a 21-mile corridor saturated with Iranian mines and drones while under active fire takes weeks of operational preparation before a single fertilizer vessel transits safely. The $20 billion DFC reinsurance backstop with Chubb has zero confirmed fertilizer vessel utilization. Insurance pays for loss. It does not clear mines. Meanwhile, the fertilizer system continues to fracture in real time. One-third of seaborne fertilizer trade passes through Hormuz per UNCTAD. Nearly 49% of traded urea is tied to conflict-exposed exporters. Bangladesh has shut five of six urea factories during its primary rice season. India asked China for emergency urea. China responded by banning phosphate exports through August. Egypt is hemorrhaging foreign reserves to feed 69 million people on a bread subsidy it cannot afford. 318 million people were at crisis-level hunger before any of this started. The market is pricing a 45-day disruption because it heard “Trump building coalition” and assumed resolution. The evidence says 90 to 150 days minimum. Coalition formation, escort logistics, minesweeping, insurance recalibration, vessel re-underwriting. Each step sequential. Each step taking weeks. The planting window closes in six. Trump’s phone calls are not the solution. They are the confirmation signal. The most powerful country on Earth just told you it cannot fix this alone. Believe it. The planting window does not care about your coalition. It is closing. Full crisis analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

People really need to have their cataracts removed if they cannot see this is literally Iran’s theory of victory being delivered politely as a case to American homes. Zakaria is saying nothing different than “Look, you can’t win. And every day you keep trying you accelerate America’s decline. Give up quickly.” It’s lobbying for the enemy directly to American hearts and minds. It’s also a bunch of flat out lies and distortions. The reality is that Iran cannot sustain this fight. It’s a virtually leaderless regime with dislocated command and military capabilities that are being badly decimated. Stopping mid op will embolden what’s left of the IRGC and enable it to rebuild, guaranteeing a self-fulfilling prophecy of defeat. Steady. No operation of this scale can achieve its objectives in 2 weeks. We tried since the 80s to avoid open conflict with Iran. They’ve just demonstrated how irrational they can be, shooting up the entire Gulf, even Cyprus, Turkey and Azerbaijan. Close ranks, support our troops and let them complete their mission. The Islamic Republic of Iran is crumbling. All they have left is disinformation.

The US does not possess infinite political capital, bandwidth, military capacity or economic resilience. Every resource expended in Iran represents energy diverted from the true tectonic challenges defining the 21st century. My take:
