For the “revisionist Zionists” (that is, the successors of Ze’ev Jabotinsky and Benzion Netanyahu—not to be confused with Theodor Hertzl’s “Zionists”), the time has come, after the victory over Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Assads, to crush Iran.

Sustainable agriculture is one of the programs in the UK, which is being implemented as part of the fight against climate warming and environmental pollution.
