Re: Israel and Palestine
Defensive weapons, you're having a girrafe! More children were killed in Gaza in six months than in the last four years of conflict worldwide The numbers given for dead women and children in Gaza coming from Hamas is most certainly a lie(https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security...

Re: Israel and Palestine
I'm glad they had a more reasonable conversation going on but it was very one sided. Bassam is clearly outlining how brutal the Israeli regime is, how it is backed by the west, how hypocritical the support is and how there are people with extreme power that have outlandish biblical beliefs that the...

Re: Israel and Palestine
From my perspective Sam is trying to have a conversation and Youssef is just repeating talking points, trying to shout down any questions. If you keep watching beyond that Youssef eventually apologizes for his behaviour (putting words into Sam’s mouth etc,,) and they eventually come to some understa...

Re: Israel and Palestine
The way the Gaza health ministry collects data for deaths has changed dramatically since oct. 7 and seems to suggest inflated numbers of about 80%. They also make no distinction between civilians and active combatants. Also how were half of these 150 UNRWA employees killed in Gaza after Oct 7, but b...

Re: No more petrol, diesel or hybrid cars from 2035
Also if grid the car is charged from is burning fossil fuels for its energy then using a battery car for green reasons is fairly ridiculous. Great for the manufacturers of these cars which will have to replace just about every car in the island.
