Canadian Journalist quits Reuters over 'role in Israel's assassination of Gaza journalists' (www.thenational.scot)
 

I'm a Jew. My grandmother survived the Ravensbruck concentration camp, death marches, and unspeakable horrors.

I stand with Palestine.

I haven't done adequate due diligence yet - could be inaccurate

I came across this article alleging that Germany is considering bailing on the F-35 aircraft because the US can remotely disable them.

If the US could do this to German F-35s, presumably they can do it to ours....
