Holy land is in the news these days. Gets me thinking, was there ever a realistic chance of any of the Crusader states lasting longer than they did? They were always living on borrowed time but certainly didn't help their cause picking fights when they didn't need to or their disunity. Yeah, defini...

I can't seem to find evidence that UNRWA has militants among its workers, there is nothing coming up with Google searches. Likewise there is no hard evidence to support the claim that "confessions" of being members of Hamas by UNRWA personnel were obtained under torture and death threats ...

Think this is getting into the realms of conspiracy theory to be honest Clear as day to me. You don't think they have been deliberately slowing and preventing aid, or suppressing independent journalism, or just don't want to believe it. They just shut down Al Jazeera, and have been preventing free ...

More international aid workers killed.
While traveling in a marked convoy.
In armoured vehicles.
Having coordinated beforehand with IDF.

Yeah, that's deliberate.

So BBC bad but *checks notes* Turning Point UK good?

Iranian embassy in Syria bombed. Most likely by Israel, who are clearly sick of Iran funding the gunmen around their borders. This is going to escalate unfortunately. Well... yeah. It was always going to escalate. Israel versus the entire Arab world at the same time the west is inching away from th...

Desperation to talk about what's happening in London due to the indefensibility of what is happening in Gaza.

Typical Arendse try, but I don't know what McGrath thought he was doing .... and now he's going to pick up a card He looked like he was trying to hit Arendse out the field. Great courage.

Careful with those scathing reviews on TripAdvisor. You might end up in prison!

As with anything like this, it's the killing of kids that gets me. Seeing the pictures taken afterwards of dead children and hearing testimony from the massacre concerning them takes my breath away.

A container ship ran into a bridge in Baltimore.

Interesting to see the Israelis admit that they are using collective punishment as a tool to achieve the release of hostages. In an unusually strong rebuke, a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said the US had "abandoned" its previous position which had direc...

Very wary of that due to who is making it.
I'm wary of it due to severely disliking the book.

Haven't read it. What didn't you like about the book?

She reminds me of all those Palestinians who fantasize about driving the Jews out of Israel so they can live there. TBF, this lady's dreams are a bit more realistic. That's good, eh?
