Torturing or killing animals is viewed as an early manifestation of a child acting out a desire for power, control, and domination, often testing violent impulses before escalating to human victim later in life.

I’d say this is insane, but that seems to be Israel’s default position now. They should be a pariah state like North Korea at this point, but they’re still being treated like a normal country.
No, this is not a joke.
UK Lawyers for Israel are trying to proscribe *Médecins Sans Frontières*.
That’d mean they’d be treated as terrorists.
On the same legal footing as ISIS.
Membership would mean 14 years in prison.

We are in a world facing the existential threat posed by war and climate change, both of which are inextricably interlinked.
I conveyed the strong view of the Irish people that the normalisation of war and genocide can never be accepted.

I think I noted during the recent Belfast riots that a certain kind of man is not really interested in protecting women & girls; he's interested in protecting the exclusive right of his kind of man to abuse and control women and girls.
Men will send me emails like this and then go rampaging on the streets of Dover and Portsmouth claiming they want to keep refugees out in order to “PROTECT OUR WOMEN!”
Not a single one of the young male refugees I’ve worked with has ever spoken to me with such violent misogyny.
