Peace to this man ! How many Pro Palestinian's know this is what they are fighting for? OK that is not, completely, fair on my part! It may not be what all are choosing to identify with in their protest. How many know this is part of the equation... It does not excuse those blocking aid @Warhippy. Israel's approach. It does lend heavily & specifically to why there is conflict! 100's of millions are calling for the death of Israel? Prefer this sort of regime in Palestine. As much as many on college campuses, the streets of London are ignorant to such factors of this war. Hamas is just in its infancy as a curator of culture. Are embracing an even more militant view of what is, not, allowed as expression of one's self.

I do not like this headline. This clip, only a minute long, does underscore the historical value for various cultures of the area's surrounding Jerusalem. My dream is this is a multicultural zone. Including a home, in absolute peace, for Palestinians. I found out today, its the birth home of one of my work colleagues. A Palestinian, not Christian or Jew. In spite of all, including things that ''ain't right'', his words, he loves going home! Has no interest in war over his homeland. https://youtu.be/ggljfAfREjU

^^ Protesters are Pro Hamas where they make arrests? ^^ Pro Palestine where they are tolerated. I went to the city, in Melbourne, when one was percolating. The loudest were very aggressive and challenging people for any Jewish support. Others just calling for peace.

This one for @Ilunga https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FTnj8ySlRqk?feature=share

What; and miss @da.moose take down @Mike Vanderhoek? Is it too early to call that 1st round series? Washington doing it Mikey style as well; Stalwart long time stud Mark Scheifele & a host of value pick ups no one knows how he fit under the cap & paid nothing for...

Its terrible to deny the issues of the Palestinian side. Just like it is terrible to deny issues with Israel. I would be surprised if reports on UNRWA were not reported out of proportion by the way it was framed by Israel! It is always at least part propaganda? I'd be even more shocked if anyone could prove they were not involved. Tens of thousands of employees. Mathematically almost impossible no one was involved. Almost all hired internally amongst those affected over generations. My memory serves reports of 7 or 10 individuals picked by facial recognition in activities such as kidnappings Oct 7. Specifically teachers. Teachings which include history lessons that Jews do not deserve any place in 'Palestine.' Which is now being reverberated around the world. Propaganda works two ways, often to the benefit, in this case, of Islamic populations being 50 times the size of Jewish. It's the same issue with condemning attacks on hospitals? Yet somehow there is a gun battle inside. Denial won't bring peace. Acknowledgement of wrongdoing, justice, cultures which start to self police will. Invitation to interact. This applies to all sides!

One puck digger / glue guy / battler would be ideal. Not two? Both are good, bust and make best of some opportunities. Certainly the energy guys, not skill of a top NHL line. Considering how well Petey can shoot. He deserves someone who can also lug & pass the puck. You can also debate who is the better play-maker, JT Miller or Pettersson? Maybe someday Hoglander, but for the meantime Mikheyev nor Hoglander should be confused with a 40 or 50 goal scorer! Maybe Hoglander, FTF, more likely Lekerimakki... We're not at our peak yet, so I guess we have to cheer exactly for who we are!

I categorized him with Don Cherry. More intelligent. But Don Cherry. There are subtleties in that suggestion maybe missed? This said; Egypt does not want Hamas refugee's? Nor does Jordan. Nor your sworn enemy Bin Salman. Lebanon accepted them 35 & 40 years ago & its been a documented downward spiral since. What do they all know, including Douglas Murray, which is not being admitted as part of the equation? Hey, they can skip the border to Syria? Where the death rate & human rights violations goes up versus Gaza. Not down? Iraq anyone, volunteer for Wagner in Mali... Instead they come to the West. Germany, West London have legitimate problems with idiom mobs harassing the entertainment & nightclub districts trying to enforce Sharia law. Kidnapping, rape, and murder rates have not coincidentally flown out of control in exactly these districts. Denmark and Sweden have even higher rates of criminal activity. Vigilante's are being caught doing more than just peaceful protests. Reverting to point; convicted justice is out of scale with demographics even with only a fraction of trend setting crimes by immigrant groups being persecuted. There are problems.

At its roots; I believe in both immigration & acceptance of refugee's. My own grandfather showed up on Canadian shores as a refugee & was taken in. Immigration, in part for practical purpose. Simply said our birth rate & education system leave significant gaps in workplace demand. Immigration supports our lifestyle both in manpower. Further adding significant skill sets to productivity. Personally & significantly for liberal ideals. I believe we owe duty to make the world a better place, help where we can? I am an even bigger believer in multiculturalism. Too much to learn from everybody! New food taste, ways to dance? So to speak... It does preclude that those arriving want to embrace us, not take over! While its great to gain a nurse for our medical system; I still don't want them if they shoot somebody who reads Salman Rushdie on an airplane coming in to Toronto when they touch down? As for riots or protests! It does not matter to me if its Truckers in Ottawa or those who wish a Free Palestine. I respect a voice. Block access to terminal station for half a day. Carry signs, hand out petitions, lobby politicians. Sure, but it has limits! Block the main port, or park your truck for days, honk your horns in the middle of Granville street for weeks on end? Stop ambulances from gaining access to a hospital? It is disrupting everyone else's right to live, work, operate their business, have their own opinion, access to services. These are equally as important as freedom of speech. I believe in peaceful protest, not mob mentality extortion activities to get your way.

What is important to Russia? It's sour saying that, but it pays to understand the most important objectives of your enemy!

Murrays equivalent in Canada. Is this hate? Or a fair question... Yet there are legitimate refugee's around the world; is it not part our DNA to embrace those of need?

Here is the thing? Murray is as smart as they come; his opinions highly credible and well investigated. His views are just one sided. Its not like a Hamas driven conversation has a better moral ground to stand on. Start a conversation with? There is a risk he points out. We are willing to accept immigration as well as outkasts from the Islamic world in the West. They are not up to putting up with us as a Western World? Enough coming to the West prefer their ideology. A tipping point is inevitable? Everywhere you look in the ME there are regimes as, more, egregious as Israel. On scale, make Gaza look peaceful even where Israel is admittedly brutal. The one that has the most ties to the West, Israel, is assasinated in a vote of popular opinion. Because the Islamic world votes as one in global ideology. Is happy to let their own crimes go happily into that good night...

He's the Don Cherry of Englands Jewish propaganda machine. But he does speak the truth!

I am a proponent of Israel's right to exist, even to its security & security zones. Settlements in these security zones go over red lines for me. A young 14 year old Israeli died in one of these settlements. Should he, his family be there? In simple philosophy? Being able to buy legitimately, rent or be part of a community could also be fine. Could, but that's not usually how this happens? Which we know. Raids on terrorists hiding in a dugout under a barn also could be another thing. Rampages by extremists, burning cars, homes, under the watchful eye of IDF as a response is not ok! Not at all... Its not justice for the young sheepherder either? Its murder & assault in his memory. Also fair to question if Binyamin's family was legitimate landowners. I don't know the answer? That mobs were immediately in place to punish & intimidate Palestinians, not just to arrest the young lads assassins. Suggests the network, the intimidation, that creates circumstance by which many acquire their property? That these rocks are being thrown by Israelis is well and truly over lines. Red or otherwise! https://youtu.be/IEbAo5Hvu38 No link embed; its a youtube segment about Settler violence in response to a death. Homes and 100 cars burned, beatings, 2 Palestinians dead.

Musk settled this! Zelensky ordered a pizza...

Good summary. One attack takes out an Iranian air defense system & takes it out. It's near Nuclear development sites. Expensive & extreme message sending without further victimization in the attacks.

To a different topic? Only 6 weeks till I head to Egypt, Jordan & Saudi Arabia. Cruise the Nile, my wifes dream, Alexandria, dive at a resort on the Red Sea. See Petra, Sharm El Sheikh in Sinai. We cut Lebanon, Jerusalem, a life dream of mine, and the West Bank from a tour we bought & postponed initially three years ago in Covid. Then last year when I lost my job.

With the greatest of respect, I believe you mean this, have committed to this, are committed to this! There is still blame. Its a blemish. Unintended. Imagine the blame Palestinians live with? Watch the world? Blame does not solve wars. Palestinians also have to reach out...

In peacetime, would I prefer to live in Israel as an Arab as a citizen, be a Muslim or Bedouin merchant in Sana'a? Capital of Yemen. First of all when has there been peace? Second, how many times in the last 25 years would you have had to pick the right affiliation to survive. Or be lucky & leave. Same question regarding Syria but a Shii or Kurd? This conflict Israel against Hamas is only inflamed because Israel is so much bigger a power. This problem exists with and without Israel. Will even if Israel offers peace.
