    I’m with you mate, there's an obsession with making people live longer …

    … assisted dying is the way forward in my opinion, should be compulsory in some cases <laugh>

    Not a bit. As soon as they are challenged by the media too they invariably become aggressive and accuse the interviewer of being a Hamas or Iran sympathiser.

    I'm firmly of the belief that a few years down the line lots of very uncomfortable facts will become known and serious questions will be asked of 'The West' and why they allowed it to happen.

    After decades of watching Russian/Chinese/Middle Eastern 'diplomats' being interviewed, as well as others, I'm well used to evasive answers, sarcasm and occasional flashes of temper. So it takes a lot to actually shock me. But the Israelis are absolutely brutal, hostile and contemptible. They attack interviewers for asking the most straightforward question and turn absolutely everything into 'anti-Semitism'.

    There's no chance of peace with these people.

    Probably worth noting for those who scrutinise one small country so intensely that Israel took out military targets with pretty impressive precision while Iran is just lobbing what it can at Tel Aviv and not achieving an awful lot.

    The Houthis managed to hit the West Bank and injure five Palestinian children. Hamas killed a load of Palestinian aid workers for daring to be part of a working aid distribution rather than one they can skim off so it’s been a busy week.

    Horrible old hostile Israel being hostile to all the inbred savages intent on wiping it off the planet.

    On the bright side Egypt decided to stop the self-appointed white saviours on their important “march to Gaza”. Seemingly oblivious to the massive wall Egypt has up which costs $5k for Gazans to pass.

    Interesting choice of insult.

    https://www.jnetics.org/jewish-genetic-disorders/

    Why are certain disorders more common among Jewish people?
    Many years ago, Jewish communities were small and isolated, with members tending to marry within their communities. A small number of people over many, many generations can pass on a DNA abnormality within an ethnic community, even when that community is no longer small and isolated. For this reason, most ethnic groups have genetic disorders which are more common in that population than in the rest of the world.

    Thanks for that. We, bar a minority of Orthodox Jews, moved on from that a long time ago.

    It's the innocent civilians in places like Israel , Palestine (I recognise it as a state even if my government won't) and Iran that I feel sympathy for. Power hungry ****wits in each of these states screwing their own populations for their own ideals.

    Nobody wins. Everyone loses.

    There are always two, or more, sides to every story.

    When someone appears who is so rabid and bitter they can only see one, you know it's pointless attempting to debate ...

    ... far better to allow them to speak and show themselves as what they are.

    They demonstrate their myopia better than anyone else ever could.

    Maybe. We do control the media, internet and world in general despite the homeland being a slice of land the size of Wales surrounded by terrorists intent on wiping it off the Earth after all.

    Hard to say either way.

    Does Iran have the right to defend itself, or does that only work one way?

    I'm sure all the media and politicians will be standing up for Iran very soon...any day now.

    Jews are only 1% of the works population
    10% of the worlds billionaires are Jewish
    50% of American's billionaires are Jewish
    5 out the 10 richest people in the world are Jewish

    Israel's GDP per capita was fourteen times that of the West Bank and Gaza—some $54,900 at current prices, compared to $3,800.

    Now, tell me those helping Israel or not condoning the war are not interested in money?

    I have an Israeli friend who asked who I'd like to live next to, wealthy respectful people or gypsies who rob and steal?

    I said people in the middle like me who have respect for each other.

    He then said which of the two brings more to the table, I said the rich have stolen more from me than the poor have. He then said you've been given money to the rich so they can give it to the poor. Not their money, your money.

    Wtf?
