    Yeah but his dulcet tones attract menopausal women, so you gotta make your choices.

    Jew burning freelancers, or the crisp Charles Trywhitt cotton shirts of Jeremy Bowen.

    Creates inflation unless Yemen stop ****ing about so I think it’s fine. Not really kept track of why it’s happening but it’s probably fine.

    Yeah I heard that this morning, apparently they've been doing it consistently for the last month, didn't even know this was ongoing I thought Trump had ordered the one strike and that was it, but nope.

    Trumpy seems to have rather a revolving policy on these things ... perhaps a container load of Teslas is trying to navigate the straight?

    I've been following it. Apparently they have no real clear intel on where the Houthi's are so they are just randomly bombing places where they think they might be. And like in Gaza, innocent civilians are being slaughtered.

    One of us should phone Trumpy and hint that the Houthi command centres are rumoured to be located in McDonald's restaurants ...

    The conclusion will be obvious but, for a change, I will agree with it.

    Israel is maneuvering itself into a catch-22 on this. It cannot use deprivation of aid to civilians to force a surrender - that is plainly wrong and unethical.

    On the other hand, if it is worried that said aid will be seized and then exploited by Hamas - which was happening earlier in the war - it concedes that 19 months on, Hamas is still a force with enough power to do the seizing and exploiting, which would point to a colossal operational failure on the part of the IDF.

    Simple solution would for the IDF to back up a UN distribution... Hamas won't come out in the open to disrupt as they would expose themselves both to the IDF and angry Gazans

    Yeah but quite a few reporters who have appeared on BBC Arabic have fallen way short of expected standards. A quick google will show you that. Pretty much every time it’s for anti-Semitic comments.

    I didn’t get this story from twitter. It was from the Telegraph but I’m not a member so I can’t open up the story and see what was actually posted. They seem to have a load of quotes from this guy for a made-up story.

    Strange you claim to have been following it and not been mentioning it, since the original Trump strike I mean. Maybe Houthi's are worth less in propaganda stakes than Paletinians, when 'innocent civilians are being killed'...oh well, the way of the human race, look over there but ignore there. :bandit:

    A 'quick Google' can substantiate just about any nonsense required... the fact it seemed exclusive to the Torygraph should have raised an eyebrow ... rather purile attempt to paint the BBC as organisationally Hamas supporting and anti-semitic due to the actions / words of one freelancer ... even suggesting he's in Gaza where nobody dressed in a visible 'Press' vest would last a minute...

    Regardless of your political leanings, the Telegraph is one of the main media outlets in this country. If they print something then people will believe it. The BBC haven’t come out and denied these allegations, they have come out and distanced themselves from this reporter, though…

    Again, it’s not one freelancer that has been using antisemitic language. It’s happened quite a few times.

    Wonder if this has been discussed with Ukraine…


    Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a temporary ceasefire in the war in Ukraine.

    It will run from 8 May to 11 May, the Kremlin said on Telegram.

    Ukraine has not yet responded.
