I am not super-familiar with Eurovision's policies, but isn't it, you know, Europe-only?

I mean, this is very clear proof they're not libertarians. We could just stop referring to them as such.

That's taking lack of free speech to an incredible level.

Imagine looking at England and thinking "this legal system makes sense, we should copy it".

If you think "where's" and "gas" are morally equivalent words in that sentence, good news, your local neonazis are most likely recruiting and very excited to hear more about your opinions.

Barring people from running because you dislike their platform is as fascist as it gets.

Information not mentioned in this article:

In Italy speeding fines are a fixed amount based on how far over the limit you're going, which makes them a regressive tax on going fast - wealthy people can sinply afford to speed as much as they like while the poor suffer. That woman they quoted who clearly thought the cameras would meaningfully deter speeding was full of shit; the cameras are there to generate revenue, not reduce speeding.

Such provisional measures issued by the world court are legally binding,

That's impossible. Israel is a country, there's no legal authority above that. That's what "sovereign" means when we refer to a country as one.

It's entirely possible Israel has signed treaties whereby it agrees to follow World Court orders, but if it violated said treaties, that wouldn't be illegal (since Israel would give itself permission to do so, making it legal under Israeli law). Legality isn't really defined when countries interact with each other.

I don't think you know what literally means.

It can hit the coin, but it might not be able to hurt it. A missile is a lot more fragile than a coin.
