In recent years, the rise of digital antisemitism has become a troubling trend that is spreading globally. From hateful propaganda on social media platforms to Holocaust denial websites, there is a concerning normalisation of anti-Jewish sentiment online that is seeping into the real world with dangerous consequences. The information warfare is very real. I've had to block people who seemed to harass me simply for being into Judaism. I have witnessed how Palestinian propaganda is Goebbelian in nature, and yet, barely anyone seems to be educated enough to tell when information is weaponised. People will let the media manipulate their emotions; and often the new propaganda overrides the education they received at school about the Nazi Holocaust. Despite all efforts, the public have easily become antisemitic really fast. Politicians are making profits out of war. One of the main reasons for the increase in digital antisemitism is the anonymity and accessibility of the internet. People can hide behind pseudonyms and fake profiles while spreading hateful messages without facing any consequences. This has emboldened individuals and groups to express their antisemitic views more openly, leading to a normalisation of hate speech that can quickly spread and influence others. People think that October 7th was not brutal, but it certainly was, marking a pivotal moment that shook the foundations of our beliefs about safety and humanity. Then we have some Christians claiming they are the "new Israel" and invalidating Jewish people's existence, a stance that not only marginalises an entire community but also deepens societal divides. The world is hectic, mad, and dangerous as never before; political tensions are rising, and misinformation spreads like wildfire, leaving many in a state of confusion and fear. These are dark ages, where compassion seems to be overshadowed by strife, and the basic tenets of coexistence are challenged daily, urging us to reconsider how we engage with one another in a rapidly changing landscape. Social media platforms, in particular, have become breeding grounds for antisemitism. Posts demonising Jews or denying the Holocaust are not only allowed to stay up but often go viral, reaching a wide audience and perpetuating harmful stereotypes. Algorithms that prioritise engagement and controversial content only exacerbate the issue, pushing antisemitic messages further into the mainstream. It is happening in Telegram group chats. There are horrible stickers which demonise the Jew, and these cartoons are similar to Nazi cartoons published just before World War II. A decade ago, all this would have been unacceptable. But since jihadist propaganda spread, it has shockingly become hypernormalised to hate the Jewish people.  Rabbi Shraga Simmons (Aish, 2024) explained how digital platforms such as Wikipedia are currently being weaponised against Israel and the Jewish people, highlighting the alarming trend of misinformation and biased narratives that often distort historical facts and present a skewed portrayal of events. This manipulation of online resources not only undermines the integrity of educational platforms but also fosters a climate of misunderstanding and hostility towards Israel. By examining specific examples, Rabbi Simmons sheds light on the broader implications of such digital warfare, urging the Jewish community and supporters of Israel to remain vigilant and proactive in countering these narratives with truth and factual evidence. Furthermore, my Youtube channel was banned after I posted a short video of my Tanakh. I was accused of "Spam". Clearly, this was an injustice, and a great loss for me. The problem is how this digital antisemitism leads to direct discrimination and hate crime against Jews all over the world. The consequences of this digital antisemitism are far-reaching and troubling. It can fuel real-world violence and discrimination against Jewish individuals and communities. In the past few years, we have seen a rise in hate crimes targeting Jews, including deadly attacks on synagogues and verbal harassment on the streets. The normalisation of antisemitism online only serves to validate these hateful actions and make them seem more acceptable to those who hold prejudiced views. For instance, recently an Italian restaurant refused to serve a Jewish couple as a result of antisemitic information about the war in Gaza. They were told by the hotel manager: “Good morning. We inform you that the Israeli people as those responsible for genocide are not welcome customers in our structure” (The Associated Press, Market Beat, 2024). They had used Booking.com to make the reservation, and this incident naturally led the Booking company to remove the specific hotel from their services, and even the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs investigated the situation. It is crucial that we address this issue head-on and work towards combating digital antisemitism. Social media companies must take a stronger stance against hate speech on their platforms and enforce their community guidelines more rigorously. Education and awareness campaigns can also help to debunk myths and stereotypes about Jewish people, promoting understanding and tolerance instead. Ultimately, it is up to all of us to stand up against digital antisemitism and all forms of hate speech. By actively challenging and calling out antisemitic rhetoric whenever we encounter it, we can help to create a more inclusive and welcoming online environment for everyone. Let us work together to dismantle the normalisation of antisemitism and build a world where discrimination and hatred have no place. Read the full article

Recently, the Moscow Court of Commercial Arbitration ruled that Google owes a significant fine of 20 decillions to 17 Russian broadcasters who were banned from YouTube. This decision has brought attention to the issue of content censorship and the responsibilities of tech giants like Google in regulating online content. The case stems from the banning of 17 Russian broadcasters from YouTube for allegedly spreading misinformation and violating the platform's community guidelines. The broadcasters, who have since been banned for over a year, filed a lawsuit against Google for lost revenue and damages as a result of their removal from the platform. The banned Russian broadcasters, including RT and RIA Novosti, have long been at odds with Google over the content they produce and share on YouTube. The arbitration court has now ruled in favour of the broadcasters, ordering Google to pay the astronomical fine for their continued infringement of Russian laws. The Moscow Court of Commercial Arbitration ruling that Google must pay 20 decillions to these broadcasters is a staggering amount and raises questions about the power and influence of tech companies in regulating online content. While Google has the right to enforce its community guidelines and remove content that violates its terms of service, the court's decision highlights the potential consequences of these actions. But the question remains, does Google have to pay the fine to the banned Russian broadcasters on YouTube? While the court has ruled in favour of the broadcasters, Google has indicated that they do not plan to comply with the ruling. In fact, Google has gone as far as to say that they do not recognise the jurisdiction of the Russian court in this matter. Russia Today (2024) reports that such a fine is symbolic. This indicates that Google won't actually have to pay the fine. Still, some argue that Google should not be responsible for paying such a hefty fine to the banned broadcasters, as the company is within its rights to moderate its platform and remove content that violates its policies. Others believe that tech companies like Google have a responsibility to ensure that their moderation actions are fair and transparent, and that they should be held accountable for any damages caused by wrongful removal of content. This raises important questions about the power dynamics at play when it comes to international companies operating in different countries. While Google may feel that they are not bound by Russian laws in this instance, the reality is that they are operating within Russian territory and are subject to Russian laws and regulations. Ultimately, the ruling by the Moscow court raises important questions about the balance between free speech and content moderation on online platforms. It also highlights the growing concern over the power and influence of tech giants in shaping the information landscape and controlling access to information. As Google considers its next steps in response to the court's ruling, it will be important for the company to carefully navigate the complex issues of content moderation and regulation in order to ensure a fair and open online environment for all users. It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds and what it means for the future of online content regulation and enforcement. Read the full article

On Sunday 10th November, 2024 we had a mass shooting in England (BBC News, 2024). It was the same day we also had a mass stabbing (Sky News, 2024). Both incidents happened in East London. I was lucky to come across the news somehow, but the reality is that neither of these incidents made it to news' headlines, and were quickly forgotten. Are we starting to get used to these events taking place in this jurisdiction? That is how it began in the United States. First, everyone saw the headlines of mass shootings taking place every few years. For instance, in April, 1999, the prolific Columbine mass shooting took place (CNN, 2024). It shocked everyone, and the entire world witnessed it. The next mass shooting took place 8 years later. It was also shocking and it was actually larger in its impact. Then, every 2-3 years a mass shooting would take place, until it rose to several incidents per year. Nowadays, people in the US are used to this happening on a daily basis (Knutson, J., Axios, 2023). According to Schroering (2024), nearly 43,000 people were shot and killed last year in the United States and 125 people are, on average, shot and killed every day there. Back in the Day Mass Shootings Shocked Great Britain The small city of Plymouth in the United Kingdom was shocked when a mass shooting took place on a quiet summer day in 2021. The perpetrator, Jake Davison, a 22-year-old man with a history of mental health issues, went on a shooting spree, taking the lives of 5 innocent people before turning the gun on himself. Among the victims was his own mother. It was later revealed that Davison had been struggling with severe depression and feelings of isolation for years. He had a troubled childhood, marked by neglect and abuse, which had left deep scars on his psyche. Despite numerous attempts to seek help, Davidson's mental health deteriorated to the point where he felt he had no other option but to lash out in violence. The tragic incident in Plymouth shed light on the need for better mental health support and interventions for individuals like Davison who are at risk of harming themselves or others. It also sparked a debate on gun control laws in the UK, as Davison had obtained his weapon legally before carrying out the attack. In the aftermath of the shooting, the community of Plymouth came together to support the families of the victims and to advocate for better mental health resources in the city. The case of Jake Davison serves as a sobering reminder of the devastating consequences that can occur when mental health issues are not properly addressed and when individuals are able to access firearms without adequate screening and oversight. Gun Violence in the UK Nowadays 🩸 In the last year, mass shootings have become a disturbingly prevalent occurrence in the UK, leaving many wondering why this trend has escalated. While the UK has historically had strict gun control measures in place, mass shootings have still managed to make their way onto the nation's headlines with alarming frequency. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwTv45OW5Yw There are several factors that may contribute to the rise of mass shootings in the UK. One possible reason is the glorification of violence in the media, which can desensitise individuals to the consequences of using guns in violent acts. The portrayal of guns as a symbol of power and dominance in popular culture can inadvertently influence vulnerable individuals to seek out firearms as a means of asserting control over others. Another factor that may be contributing to the prevalence of mass shootings in the UK is the issue of mental health. Many of the perpetrators of mass shootings in the UK have been found to have a history of mental illness or emotional instability. Despite efforts to improve mental health services in the UK, there is still a stigma surrounding mental health issues that can prevent individuals from seeking help before it is too late. In addition, social and economic factors may also play a role in the increase of mass shootings in the UK. Disenfranchised individuals who feel marginalised by society may turn to violence as a means of expressing their frustrations and gaining attention. Economic disparities and lack of access to education and opportunities can also contribute to feelings of hopelessness and desperation that may drive individuals to commit violent acts. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution to addressing the rise of mass shootings in the UK, it is clear that a multifaceted approach is necessary. Stricter gun control measures, increased funding for mental health services, and efforts to address social and economic inequalities are all important steps that can be taken to help prevent future tragedies. Final Thoughts As it can be seen, what first seemed to be a sensationalist headline, became secondary news due to its prevalence and frequency. Is this now happening in the United Kingdom? Even more worrying is the fact that these types of incidents are becoming prevalent in every continent. Is there a forensic mental health pandemic? When will forensic mental health be taken seriously enough to get the World Health Organisation (WHO) involved in the mitigation of this epidemiology? Ultimately, it is crucial for the UK government and society as a whole to come together to address the root causes of mass shootings and work towards creating a safer and more secure nation for all its citizens. Only by addressing the underlying issues that contribute to violence can we hope to prevent future mass shootings in the UK. Read the full article

Metformin hydrochloride, also known simply as metformin, is a medication that is commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as biguanides, which work by lowering blood sugar levels through various mechanisms. Metformin is typically used in combination with diet and exercise to help control blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. One of the primary ways in which metformin works is by decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver. It also helps to improve the body's response to insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. By increasing insulin sensitivity, metformin helps the body use glucose more effectively, leading to lower blood sugar levels. Additionally, metformin has been shown to reduce the absorption of glucose from the intestines, further helping to lower blood sugar levels. Metformin also offers other potential benefits beyond blood sugar control. Some studies have suggested that metformin may have anti-inflammatory properties and could potentially reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. Additionally, metformin has been shown to have protective effects on the heart and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in individuals with diabetes. Do NOT Take Merformin if You Have Any of the Following: - Hypersensitivity or allergy to metformin or any of its ingredients. - Severe kidney impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min). - Severe liver disease. - Acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis. - Heart failure or history of heart failure. - Severe respiratory disease. - Recent heart attack (within the past month). - Severe dehydration. - Alcoholism or excessive alcohol intake. - Pregnancy or breastfeeding. - Radiographic contrast dye administration (metformin should be stopped before and after contrast dye procedures). What are the side effects? While metformin is generally well-tolerated, it can cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach cramps. These side effects are usually mild and tend to improve over time as the body adjusts to the medication. However, some users may experience more severe gastrointestinal issues that can be bothersome and impact their quality of life. In rare cases, metformin may also cause a serious condition called lactic acidosis, which can be life-threatening. Lactic acidosis occurs when there is a buildup of lactic acid in the bloodstream, which can lead to symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, muscle pain, dizziness and difficulty breathing. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if any of these symptoms occur while taking Metformin Hydrochloride. In addition to gastrointestinal issues and lactic acidosis, Metformin Hydrochloride can also cause vitamin B12 deficiency in some users. Vitamin B12 is an important nutrient that plays a key role in nerve function and the production of red blood cells. Long-term use of Metformin Hydrochloride can lead to reduced absorption of vitamin B12, which can result in symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Regular monitoring of vitamin B12 levels and supplementation may be necessary for some users. It is important for individuals taking Metformin Hydrochloride to be aware of these potential side effects and to discuss any concerns with their healthcare provider. While most side effects are mild and manageable, it is crucial to seek medical attention if any severe or concerning symptoms occur. By working closely with a healthcare provider, individuals can ensure they are receiving the necessary support and monitoring while taking Metformin Hydrochloride to effectively manage their diabetes. Metformin as a Weight Loss Treatment Obesity is a growing epidemic worldwide, with millions of people struggling to lose weight and improve their overall health. Recent studies have shown that Metformin Hydrochloride may also be beneficial for non-diabetic, obese individuals. One study published in the journal Obesity Reviews found that metformin can help decrease body weight, waist circumference, and body mass index in non-diabetic, obese individuals. The medication works by improving insulin sensitivity, which can help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce cravings for high-calorie foods. Metformin has also been shown to have positive effects on other obesity-related conditions, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and fatty liver disease. By improving insulin sensitivity and reducing inflammation in the body, metformin may help obese individuals improve their overall health and reduce their risk of developing chronic diseases. While metformin can be effective for weight management in non-diabetic individuals, it is important to note that the medication should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Like any medication, metformin can have side effects and may not be suitable for everyone. If you are overweight or obese and interested in exploring metformin as a potential treatment option, it is important to speak with your doctor. They can help you determine if metformin is right for you and create a personalised treatment plan to help you reach your weight loss goals. Dosage The standard starting dose of metformin hydrochloride is usually 500 mg taken once or twice daily, with meals. This can be gradually increased over time, as determined by your healthcare provider, to a maximum dose of 2,000-2,500 mg per day. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and not to exceed the recommended dosage without consulting them first.It is also important to take metformin hydrochloride with food to help minimise gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort.

Censorship has made its way into my life. I can no longer deny that weird things are happening on the Internet, and also outside the Internet in relation to behaviours online. Just when I thought I was immune to this emerging two-tier culture; I was a victim of it. Here in the United Kingdom, one can observe the criminal justice system's desperate attempt to make space in prisons for those who express their opinions against Islam and against illegal migration online. However, as many have posited; there seems to be a two-tier systemic bias which leaves a selected few impune (e.g. paedophiles and rapists), whilst other groups are harshly punished for doing minor offences. The criminal justice system of England is so overwhelmed, that there have been initiatives to take house arrests to the next level of crime and punishment, due to overcrowded prisons (Syal, R., The Guardian, 2014). Anti-Islam activists and journalists are being imprisoned callously, whilst antisemitic behaviours are hypernormalised, and not prosecuted. For instance, I believe that Youtube was antisemitic against my channel. They charged me with spam allegations after I uploaded a video of my new Tanakh (a sacred religious book), where I expressed excitement in regards to learning Hebrew and Judaism. The video lasted about a minute, and was certainly not spam. I find Youtube's decision to be antisemitic, and it confirms that antisemitism is systemically and culturally ingrained in modern times. All this means that I will have to create my own video gallery, and that I cannot be trusting other websites to look after my digital legacy in any way. What I had built for so many years was quickly destroyed by Youtube, and whilst I feel devastated by these actions; I am now more determined than ever to redirect my energy into my website, where I rule, and where I decide what's acceptable or not. I also know that Youtube is openly Russophobic and has actively banned prolific Russian channels such as Russia Today (RT), who had to also create their own video gallery as a result. It is certainly terrifying to see how Google has some corruption in its structure. This type of scenario might be why a Russian court fined Google with $20 decillion (RT, 2024). The scope of the damages is enormous, and the direct discrimination against demonised social groups such as the Russian people, and the Jewish people is undeniable. Whilst my single case will never make it to newspaper headlines, it is still notable that Youtube has acted in Nazi ways to ethnically cleanse the digital space, and I am one of those people who have been unjustly censored for having Jewish and/or Russian content. This means I will have to start from zero, and all of my followers were lost. I will notify you, dear readers, when I have a video gallery ready again. Read the full article

Psychopathy is a complex and often misunderstood personality disorder that is characterised by a lack of empathy, manipulative behaviour, and impulsivity. While many factors contribute to the development of psychopathy, researchers have found that a deficiency in serotonin levels may play a significant role in this disorder. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is commonly associated with regulating mood, memory, and impulse control. It is often referred to as the "feel-good" neurotransmitter, as it is believed to play a key role in promoting feelings of well-being and happiness. Research has shown that individuals with psychopathy often exhibit lower levels of serotonin in their brains, which may contribute to their inability to experience empathy and guilt. This deficiency in serotonin may also contribute to their impulsive and aggressive behaviour, as serotonin is believed to play a role in regulating these behaviors. Furthermore, studies have found that individuals with psychopathy may have abnormalities in the way their brains process serotonin. These abnormalities may lead to a decreased ability to experience emotions such as fear or sadness, which may contribute to their callous and unemotional behaviour. While research on the relationship between serotonin and psychopathy is ongoing, these findings suggest that targeting serotonin levels in individuals with psychopathy may be a potential avenue for treatment. By increasing serotonin levels through medication or other interventions, it may be possible to help regulate some of the symptoms associated with psychopathy and improve overall emotional functioning. It is important to note that psychopathy is a complex disorder with multiple contributing factors, and serotonin levels alone are unlikely to be the sole cause of the disorder. However, understanding the role of serotonin in psychopathy may provide valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of the disorder and potential avenues for future research and treatment. In conclusion, serotonin plays a crucial role in the development and expression of psychopathy. Individuals with psychopathy often exhibit lower levels of serotonin and abnormalities in the way their brains process this neurotransmitter. While more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between serotonin and psychopathy, these findings highlight the potential importance of targeting serotonin levels in the treatment of this complex disorder.
