🇮🇱🇺🇸🇱🇧⚡️ — Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir:

Mr. Prime Minister,

You said that a strong prime minister tells the President of the United States—'yes' when possible, and 'no'—when necessary.

This is the time to tell our friend, President Trump—'no'.

Now is the time to do what is required and necessary to strike Hezbollah, to unleash the hands of our fighters, and to restore security to the north.

🇪🇹🗳 Ethiopians have been voting in parliamentary and regional elections, with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s party projected to win by a landslide. Millions in conflict-hit regions were barred from voting, with critics accusing Ahmed of jailing opponents and centralising power.

🇬🇧 Britain Denies Entry to 2 U.S. Commentators Who Denounced Israel

The authorities did not say why they had barred Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker, who have popular social media channels, but said their presence “may not be conducive to the public good.”

Britain said on Monday that it had blocked entry to two prominent American commentators, Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker, because of their “potential risk” to British society, a decision that came amid debate about the limits of free speech in the country.

Mr. Uygur and Mr. Piker, two progressive activists with popular social media channels, were set to speak at events in Britain this week. Both expressed outrage on social media and accused the British authorities of canceling their travel authorizations because of their vocal criticism of Israel.

The British Home Office, which manages border security, said in an emailed statement that the authorizations of the two American commentators had been canceled because their presence in Britain “may not be conducive to the public good.” The Home Office said that a decision to deny entry for that reason was “based solely on an assessment of the potential risk an individual may pose” to British society.

The statement did not mention Mr. Uygur and Mr. Piker’s criticism of Israel nor any of their other views. The Home Office declined to answer questions about the case or about the accusations from the two commentators that they were being targeted for their statements on Israel.

📝 Littoria: Hasan Piker is technically an ideological fellow traveller of the UK's ruling Labour government, yet they banned him from entering.

Nick Shirley goes to the UK to support an anti Muslim soccer hooligan rally and agitate for the overthrow of the Labour government, yet he was welcomed into the country by them.

What's the answer here besides there are no real politics in Britain other than the interests of Zionism and Jews?

👮‍♂️ 🇬🇧 🔒 Vickrum Digwa has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 20 years and 190 days for the murder of Henry Nowak.

Judge William Mousley KC noted Digwa’s attempts to lie to police, cover up his actions, and the “significant community impact” of the crime were aggravating factors that increased the minimum term to 23 years.

It was reduced to 21 years due to mitigating factors, including his age and previous good character, before time already served in custody was taken into account.

📝 🇬🇧 👮‍♂️ The Murder of Henry Nowak | Millennial Woes

🕯 An essay about the Henry Nowak murder, bringing all the known facts together.

Henry Nowak was an 18 year-old from Essex, of Polish descent. He was intelligent and did well at A-levels. With those, he got onto an Accountancy & Finance degree at the University of Southampton. A well-adjusted, social and ambitious young man, he was also responsible, working part-time at a supermarket to help support himself. His family said:

Henry was loved by all those that knew him. He was an incredible son, brother, cousin, grandson, nephew, friend and teammate. He was an all-round top lad and everyone who was lucky enough to share his company thought the same.

Vickrum Singh Digwa, a 22 year-old Sikh, lived nearby in his family’s house on St Denys Road. Oddly enough, he also worked in accountancy, being accepted by a local firm. However, his own community were wary of him; they had barred him from a temple for bad behaviour. Fulfilling religious requirements, he wore a small “kirpan” dagger around his neck, under his clothing. But he is in a Sikh order called the Nihang, for whom carrying a second weapon is customary, so he also had an eight inch “shastar” sword hanging sheathed from his waist. Aside from any religious obligations, he was “obsessed” with bladed weapons and had trained with them since the age of twelve.

On the night, Digwa had just come home from a Deliveroo shift. At about 11:15pm, he left his house “to fetch some curried chips from a car” parked on Belmont Road.

The two men encountered each other on the pavement at number 70.

He inflicted three wounds: a slash to Nowak’s jaw, a stab to his lower body (possibly his groin), and a stab to his chest. The blade punctured Nowak’s lung and cut a major vein, slowly causing massive internal bleeding.

Digwa’s family arrived: mother Kiran Kaur, brother Gurpreet, and father (name unknown). Gurpreet was 26 at the time and himself had form for threatening people in public with a sword.

Digwa and his mother conspired in Punjabi, and she took the sword and left the scene. (This was all captured on video.) The sword was later found at their house, amongst a huge collection of bladed weaponry that Digwa had been amassing since childhood.

Meantime, the brothers concocted a story: Digwa was a victim of racist abuse and assault by Nowak. Given later comments made between them in a police van, it is possible that at this point Gurpreet genuinely didn’t know what had happened and was simply taking his brother’s word for everything.

Henry Nowak’s final hour was spent listening to alien people conspiring against him in a foreign language while using English to accuse him of racism and deceit. His final minutes were spent with British police dismissing his pleas for help. His final waking moments were spent in handcuffs, on a cold December ground, while all of the above continued around him.

Some bits of “fake news” have spread about the story:

the police officers were all female

they searched his phone and his father’s phone for evidence of racism

the “kirpan” legal exemption has only existed since 2019

in court, the judge reduced the charge from murder to manslaughter. (In fact, he gave the jury the option to find Digwa guilty of manslaughter if they couldn’t find him guilty of murder.)

A US research group has just issued a policy proposal calling on the US government to support Afrikaner self-determination.

In this paper, they consider the refugee program a positive contribution, but consider it incomplete if an area for Afrikaners in South Africa is not also supported.

🇺🇸⚡️ — The Pentagon has designated its press office as a classified area and barred journalists from entering to meet with public affairs staff who traditionally handled media inquiries, WaPo reports.

➡️ The change, which took effect in recent weeks, was partly driven by the relocation of Pentagon speechwriters into the office and plans to equip the space with SIPRNet access for handling classified communications.

➡️ The move means that even if reporters regain broader access to the Pentagon, their direct interaction with Defense Department spokespeople would be significantly more restricted.
