  1. There's a growing discussion about reverting Peninsular Malaysia's time zone to GMT+7, which reflects the sun's natural position. The current GMT+8, adopted to follow Sabah and Sarawak, creates an unnatural body clock (circadian rhythm) conflict with very late sunrises. As someone from Sabah, I feel the difference acutely—our time feels natural, but the Peninsular's time is jarring.

  2. The Quebec Referendum: A Nation Divided 🇨🇦

    On October 30, 1995, Quebec held a referendum on whether to secede from Canada. The result was incredibly close, with 49.42% voting in favor of sovereignty and 50.58% voting against. The referendum sparked intense debate about Quebec's place in Canada and the future of the country. 😬 #Canada #CanadianPolitics #NationalUnity

  4. @Andy_European Now that #Poilievre has been exorcised from the #CPC there should be an attempt to create a government of #NationalUnity with the real patriots in the #CPC.

  6. @cendawanita I am not sure what the point of this post is, but I want to share my perspective. Please do not blame specific ethnic groups solely, but rather the politicians and political parties that use ethnicity as justification to gain votes at the cost of the well-being of other ethnicities. Malaysia is not a country at war, and if you are Malaysian, please remember the five national principles. Everybody deserves to be respected without discrimination or harm.

  7. @freemo I’m pretty sure that I’ve condemned what #Israel has done before, as I have never been a fan of their government. I’m not familiar with how they’ve treated the people of #Palestine in general, but I do know that they’re heavy-handed and decreasing democracy within the country, are authoritarian and to my knowledge oppress #LGBT people to some extent as well.

    While I haven’t condemned much of what they’ve done following #Hamas’ attack against them, as I can understand why they’d do it and they have limited options when it comes to conquering the very grave and legitimate and immediate threat of #Hamas (although I am considering condemning their siege, and this morning noted that sieges are against the #GenevaConvention), I’ve also (softly, and made sure to say it’s just a theory since I have no evidence) repeatedly accused the state of allowing this attack to happen intentionally as a bid to either unify the nation around #BibiNetanyahu (which I have mentioned in direct parallel to how #GeorgeWBush got popular after the 9/11 attack, and pointed out this afternoon has happened as he got the major opposition party #NationalUnity to rally around him, who I presume either he or the state of #Israel has mistreated in their efforts to slowly snuff out the remaining lights of democracy in #Israel), or in order to justify more aggressive attacks against #Palestine, which I specifically called a “black mark” and something that, if true, they should be held accountable for once the war is over.

    So there’s plenty of complain about when it comes to #Israel, even ignoring their land dispute with #Palestine. I admit that I am relatively ignorant and trying to learn more on my own, but even though I’d posit that #Israel is probably the best, most moral, most peaceful, and most democratic nation in the immediate region, they are still at the very least bad, if not awful, as a state, to the extent of which that no western society that values democracy and freedom should be supporting financially, at least without some very stringent conditions (which is something I have said since the violence happened), and I would advocate for the #USA pulling all support for #Israel entirely once the war is over and #Hamas is (hopefully) defeated.

    All of that said, there is absolutely nothing that #Israel has done that justifies #Hamas’ escalations, at the very least, if not their attacks here.

  8. Benny #Gantz, the 64-year-old leader of #Israel’s opposition #NationalUnity party who reached an agreement Wednesday to form a #Unity Government w/ PM Benjamin #Netanyahu, has previously been described as “the un-Netanyahu.”
    
His low-key, steady demeanor makes people “see him as a person of integrity & country first,” said David Makovsky, a distinguished fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

  9. #Netanyahu & #Gantz form #unity govt; #Israel masses #troops near #Gaza Strip ahead of #offensive

    #Israeli PM #BenjaminNetanyahu & #BennyGantz, leader of the opposition #NationalUnity party, reached an agreement Wed to form a unity govt. The 2 ldrs said the new govt would pursue only bills or decisions concerning the #conflict, which has prompted Israel to mass troops near the Gaza Strip & call up #reservists ahead of an offensive against #Hamas militants.

  10. La proposta di legge è stata votata da 39 deputati, tra cui quelli di Yisrael Beiteinu e Pnina Tamano-Shata del Partito di Unità Nazionale.
    Solo 7 deputati si sono opposti, e l'unico di questi 7 che non provenisse da un partito arabo è stato Gilad Kariv del Partito Laburista.

    Tutti gli altri parlamentari del Partito Laburista, di #NationalUnity e #YeshAtid non si sono semplicemente degnati di partecipare alla votazione. ⬇5
