    Looks very much like the FSB just grabbed some random dark skinned guys off the street and battered a confession out of them, to make it look like they were on the case.

    Same way the British police grabbed some random Paddies after the Birmingham and Guildford pub bombings.

    They did but they knew by doing so it would mean the resolution would pass. Usually they veto everything that goes against Israel's interests.

    Yup ... for reasons unknown... not that dissimilar to their own recent one in essence .. I.e. immediate ceasefire with hostage freeing connotations... the only difference is that the US ones contained no criticism (real or implied) of the Israeli regime actions that have flattened an entire territory and brought it to the verge of famine ...

    As has been mentioned before. Natanyahu's eyes would have lit up on 7th Oct as it (and the US) gave him the green light to enact ethnic cleansing in Gaza

    I don't know whether it was an inside job, woefully (intentional ?) lack of security or just an opportunistic moment, but either way Israel have used it to enact some of the very worst kinds of abhorrent human behaviour upon the people of Gaza

    Women, Children, the elderly, the sick and disabled. None of them have been spared.

    I still remember @Citizen Kane. on here saying that 'Israel want nothing to do with Gaza'

    It appears one of the guys they've got was seen on CCTV images casing the joint. Probably only went there to pick up his tickets.

    Anyway more seriously, it appears Putin now accepts it was Islamists, but said he will find out who sent them. Probably get his guys to cut another ear off for the confession it was Ukraine.

    Baltimore Transport Authority have put out a statement to notify that "both lanes in either direction are closed to traffic" :bandit:

    I've travelled all round that area, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and a place called Williamsburg way south of there, as they have a Busch Gardens, this ride use to be all the craze to go on, not there anymore (the ride), probably mild by todays standards, second climb is the best bit...

    It's safe to say that Nety knows if the war ends his political career is over. Given a choice between killing thousands including the hostages which keeps him in power OR sticking two fingers up to everyone else including the U.S. he's going full on first option.

    Yeah, it’s the innocent who are being punished for Hamas’ crimes.

    Pretty much. Hopefully this Rafah kerfuffle will be sorted in a few days if everyone doesn’t have to stop for Ramadan/Shabbat/Easter/Swansea v QPR.

    The bombs of peace will rain down for as long as is necessary unless Preston council votes for a ceasefire and Lidl hummus is boycotted.
