Always good to know what they are marching for

As Hamas have said this is just one battle in a much longer war, any Ceasefire would inevitably be temporary. I do not know if they see one now as tactically advantageous.

It would certainly help if the release of the Hostages was front and central. And pulling down posters of them, well not exactly a good look.

This is not really a US sole issue but there is a massive amount of hidden debt in the system. Final salary schemes are rare in the Private sector but not in the Public sector and Politicians being what Politicians are have grossly underfunded, push the can down the road. Social Security ditto...

Nobody likes Harris, she stood at the same time as Biden and got tiny numbers supporting her, I assume she got the nod partly as a tick box exercise and partly because nobody would want Biden standing down and her taking over. Sad but logical. Anyway a total mess whichever way you look at it...

The only clear winner is Neither of the above. But that is not how the system works. I am not sure what it would take for Biden to be persuaded not to stand, just that it has not got to that point yet. There are polls like this and I assume if they become the norm that might be enough? The...

A lot can happen in 11 years, wonder of FIFA have a Plan B. Was it set up obviously. I think I saw they have 7 Stadiums to build so a lot of work opportunities.

Saudi getting the World Cup is linked to all of this, just to get Football involved.

It goes back to the war aims of 1948, driving the Jews westward basically westwards into the Med. Now the likes of Trans Jordan never envisaged a Palestinian State, it was more about expanding their own territory. As they did until 1968 and of course Egypt did with Gaza. This is and has been...
