Beyond disgusted that Israeli President Herzog is set to visit London next week to meet Labour ministers. The Labour Party is living up to its reputation as The Genocide Party. Herzog should be arrested for war crimes the moment he sets foot on UK soil.

I was just watching this story on the BBC evening news about a Syrian refugee family who settled in Sweden in 2015 but still receiving racist abuse and I've been amazed by the modest but heartfelt hospitality they showed to the visiting BBC reporter. Look at the spread on that table!

Cümlenin esas işlevini belirleyen şey olduğu halde Türkçe'de soru eklerinin vurgulu telaffuz edilmemesi çok ilginç. Ayrı yazıyoruz ama vurgusuz telaffuz ediyoruz. Belki tam da bu "vurgusuzluk"tan ötürü bazı şivelerde sorudan düşürülüyordur. (" Yaptın mı?" yerine sadece" Yaptın?" diye sormak mesela)

Credit to the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen. Defying the Israeli ban on filming Gaza from above, Bowen instead describes the carnage & genocide he can see: “I can tell you that communities in the north of Gaza that I knew well…with tens of thousands of people…are flat. There’s nothing left of them.”
