Oh Lordy, what now …this is scary news and now what happens..

God Save Our Gracious King.

GN, a constant source of reading materials. Thanks Allira, such a lot of info and perspective in that document. I will have to take much more time to absorb the details. But randomly, two things have grabbed my intention.
Hezbollah apeared in the aftermath of the Israel invasion of the country in 1882. So, not at the creation of the state of Israel, as I took to be the case from some posts upthread.
Most ordinary Iranians would be happy to accept a two state solution.
There is hope.

Same amount of power, AnnieB, so no not confusion, just semantics.

Maremia Thu 26-Jun-25 16:40:29

Sorry Allira and others, wrong thread.

Maremia Thu 26-Jun-25 16:41:28

OOOOOPs, correct thread.

What? 🤔

DH just walked into the closed patio door but apart from that 🤞 I'd better go and see if he's ok.

Allira? has something happened?

Ah, no!

Just thanking God for our King instead of some of these leaders who seem to get re-elected 🤔 time and again!

Although -
President Donald Trump will not be invited to stay at Balmoral during his full 'bells and whistles' state visit to ensure the King can have a short period of "downtime", a royal expert has claimed.

I think you could get a bit too much of Mr Trump. How diplomatic our king is.

Guests are like fish: they both go off after 3 days 😂

Putin stood for election every 5 years ? No, not the same amount of power

Claremont Thu 26-Jun-25 17:30:58

Netanyahu?

Smileless2012 Thu 26-Jun-25 18:01:58

Putin stood for election every 5 years some election. Anyone likely to depose him is eliminated.

I’m watching ch4 news, coveting the demolition of Bedouin homes , way away from the West Bank. One man, recently returned from fighting for Israel fiund his home demolished. The Bedouin are being driven into the camps. The Arabs are being replaced by Settlers. Some from USA, Russia .
Some Settlers don’t hesitate to use violence. The IDF don’t react to defend villagers left with nothing.
Ch4 reporters briefly arrested for filming.

It’s simply awful

Anniebach Thu 26-Jun-25 20:04:05

Gaza , West Bank ?

silverlining48 Thu 26-Jun-25 20:10:23

I just watched that Iam64. I was hoping that there might be some GNs watching too. It was violent and threatening. That man’s poor brother was badly injured and all those people left with no homes or possessions. All destroyed in front of them. Just another day for IDF who watch and do nothing to stop the violence. . They threatened the ch 4 journalists with guns, so they stopped filming and left.

Stop believing channel 4 I might think….

Is this a new attack?

This has been going on for years and there were more attacks last year.

silverlining48 Thu 26-Jun-25 20:15:09

Why not watch it yourself ronib. This was really happening.

ronib Thu 26-Jun-25 20:22:38

There’s a lot of background information on Bedouins to absorb before taking anything a news channel broadcasts as reliable information. Don’t accept any news outlet at face value.

Claremont Thu 26-Jun-25 20:24:57

Dont' deny and refute them either, I'd say.

silverlining48 Thu 26-Jun-25 20:28:05

Yes Allira unfortunately it has been going on for years. On occupied West Bank Palestinian land thousands have been killed but hardly reported and the other filmed was in Israel and were Israeli Bedouins.
It’s worth watching Basel Ardra whose film No other Land about settler violence in the West Bank won best foreign film recently and when he returned from the award ceremony in the USA the production team were badly beaten up by Israeli police. He produced this film with a brave Israeli journalist friend.

Claremont Thu 26-Jun-25 20:51:43

oh dear, how long before the same people will come and deny and refute- and tell you it is pure Hamas propaganda.

lafergar Thu 26-Jun-25 20:59:37

The Bedouin are stateless people, denied education, medical help and passports.
