So perhaps you have visited all the countries and hot spots around the world which then makes you a superior being. So you went on holiday to The States, or on Safari which gives you an insight into how the population lives. As a tourist or holiday maker you see a certain side of society. How about Cyprus .Another Country split between 2 factions but the hotels and beaches are really nice. Less time spent on a plane and a bit more time reading might improve your wider understanding The basics remain that terrorists commit heinous acts and as a result the whole of Gaza pays a very heavy price. Some have always believed that the outcome will be more terrorism . The extremists of 2 nations want to drive out or subjugate the other. That is what must be overcome by the less extreme people of Israel and Palestine and by third parties .In reality that means the US and any countries of the United Nations. In the main OG and Mayfa have condemned terrorist acts and the utter futility of the whole sorry mess. Whilst you indulge in posts such as that quoted and have absolutely no feeling for Palestinians who have long been treated appallingly by successive Israeli governments supported by Billions from abroad. T Just for balance. 👍 In 2021 and 2022, the US was the largest single donor to UNRWA, contributing over $338 million in 2021 and $344 million in 2022. UNRWA received over $1.18 billion in donations in 2021 and over $1.17 billion in 2022 from various nations and organizations. The beaches are lovely in Cyprus by the way, we agree on that. I am no superior being but I do revel in my common sense. Edited November 18 by Al Bundy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Findlay #3147 Posted November 18 The 2 state solution is the only option put forward but neither side will accept it so the only option for Israel is to keep pushing South. The Russians bombed Syrian hospitals and used chemical weapons but no Internation response. The priority needs to be the return of the hostages and assisting hospital casualties to evacuate.

The only time peace will prevail is if the Jews find somewhere else to live. It seems the only option when your neighbours want to wipe you off the face of the Earth.

But enjoying the Cyprus beaches in no way enhances your appreciation of world affairs,(or even Turkish/Greek differences )over and above that of someone who chooses not to travel. And of course why are so many Palestinians refugees The fund started in 1950 which gives some clue Edited November 18 by RJRB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Beth Harpaz (the writer of that piece in the link) is a journalist of long-standing. 3 hours ago, Organgrinder said: It's still an Israeli support site which is not going to say anything favourable except to Israeli's. Doesn't matter if you know her or not. we don't know her and even people we do know have been known to lie. I'll believe the United Nations and NOT an Israeli supporter. Just because Beth Harpaz, a Jewish journalist, was writing on a Jewish (not Israeli) news site, it does not mean her reporting wasn't objective. And, just in case you are wondering where I'm coming from on this issue, here's a pic of one of my coffee mugs sitting on today's i newspaper. Mafya seems to get it.

Mafya seems to get it. it does not mean her reporting wasn't objective, and it also doesn't mean that it was. I was already doubtful as you know. All I need to confirm my doubts is to see Starmers middle east "broker" The liar who caused so much trouble in the middle east and brought Islamic terrorism to our shores. Enough said.
