Israel is considering a bill to imprison children younger than 14. Palestinian children only, one understands.

The US allows tax-exempt organizations to support violent Israeli extremists.

I have to point out that while celebrating the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin is despicable, criminalizing the expression of such views is disrespect for freedom of speech.

Rabin was assassinated because he wanted to end the occupation of Palestine. There used to be large demonstrations in Rabin's honor, for as long as many Israelis continued to want peace.

A few Israelis still want peace, and joined Palestinians for a protest march against the occupation.

But only a small minority of Israelis still want peace. For the most part, anyone like Rabin would be ridiculed in today's Israel. Most Israelis don't today celebrate his assassination, but they don't miss his efforts any more.

In the UK under Tory austerity, "care" companies regularly cheat their workers, who then mostly cheat the old people they are supposed to take care of.

The workers can't possibly afford to spend as much time with the patients as they are supposed to, since then they'd be paid well below minimum wage.

In the sick and prudish spirit imposed on US universities in the name of Title IX, even a mural that refers to sex is considered dangerous and illegal.

When the "safe space" obsession goes overboard, an anonymous political poster is seen as "harassment"

It appears that HSBC has refused a bank account to a Hong Kong political party as an act of political interference.
