Why should the Jewish Community have to do that ?Good morningThe facts as reported by Israel National News are:
Horrible news coming out of Sydney and no matter who or why these assassin's are or acted in this heinous way everyone should call them out
I make no judgement, just utter condemnation
At least 10 people have been killed in a shooting at the site of a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, Australia.

It seems surprising to me that Chabad Sydney organised an event on a public beach rather than behind closed doors with tight security.

I note many were Russian operators.
Social Media is killing itself with AI Slop. I don't expect many mourners at the funeral.

The point is not to persuade of untruths, but to make them so ubiquitous that no one believes truths, either.

Which is, of course, the precise goal of the subversion of the media. So many lies that in the end we do not know what the truth is.YouTube channels spreading fake, anti-Labour videos viewed 1.2bn times in 2025I've got to the stage where I don't believe anything.

It is extraordinarily corrosive and why I often express deep contempt for those media outlets and individuals who look for what is convenient for their world view, rather than what is true.
The disease that began in Russia, then spread to America is now infecting British media too- KGB News and Liz Truss are already late stage symptoms. Meanwhile the tsunami of guff on social media is an even more virulent poison.
In Australia the social media ban for kids is a step that could seriously be considered, though my preferred option is the Estonian one- teach kids, and adults, how to work out what is most likely to be true.
Some action is certainly needed- at the very least preventing further American control of British media channels.

I can sympathise with anyone feeling they could do a better job than SKS, but my feeling is that Mr Burnham's self-confidence is misplaced.

1) Vader was go to guy for getting construction projects sorted (cutting red tape) - “You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. I'm here to put you back on schedule".Quite right too Alderaan had a major problem with global warming.You'd never get the Death Star built with our planning regulations and Nimbyism.Unlikely; better sense of humour than Hitler.Probably turn out that Count Binface is actually the defrosted Adolf Hitler from that episode of the New Avengers.FirstSpeaking as the last remaining member of the Labour Party, if Burnham tries this in my constituency I am voting for Count Binface or whoever the most viable non-fascist not-Burnham candidate is.
The slight problem here is that it’s Andy Burnham.
Vs Starmer
I forsee the following -
1) Starmer tries to impose an all women shortlist to block Burnham.
2) this ends up in the Supreme Court
3) Burham stands and loses to Count Binface.
No, I’m not a fan of this timeline.
More likely it's just Darth Vader cosplaying a British politician for a bit of fun.
2) Vader’s progressive leadership style - making senior staff fuckups choke on their ambitions, as opposed to victimising rank and file - is to be commended.
3) Vader fixed unemployment, reoffending rates and just about every other stat on Alderan
4) Vader was known for getting stuck in on a project himself.

Would Starmer have scrapped the two child cap without the worry of a leadership challenge? I'm not sure.You don't create extra homes by increasing housing benefit. You make landlords richer.
I see Burnham has been calling for the end to housing benefit freeze. I think thats sensible. It's surely a false economy when you consider the costs of homelessness.
Build more houses!
