After having cycled on Northern Irish roads for years I have to say it’s not just because of cars (although car drivers really are some of the most entitled I’ve encountered in Europe). The state of roads and decisions around where to place bike lanes are utterly insane nevermind the lack of cycle lanes.

My conspiracy theory is that the isreali’s have really bad compromat (or can easily get it) about anyone and everyone so even if you were in favour of stopping support for isreal before you take a position in some government, as soon as you’re in they flip you.
