I do not live in your country but I have been following the war. Please do NOT agree to this "peace treaty". It will bring nothing. There is no intention from the US or Putin to honor anything. Please stand strong.

'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.'

Can anyone give me information about the "rumor" I have heard that the US government is now insinuating itself on the Blue Sky platform? I am especially interested in how this will affect the platform and users.

France defies Trump, recognizes Palestinian statehood despite U.S. pressure Secretary of State Marco Rubio tried to kill Franceโ€™s recognition of Palestinian statehood, publicly lambasting it as a โ€œgift to Hamasโ€ ahead of the U.N. summit in New York.

Results matter.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued "cables to U.S. embassies and consulates around the world in June and this month to discourage attendance at Franceโ€™s meetings and publicly slamming the effort as a โ€œgift to Hamas.โ€

Yesterday, we went on a guided tour of a cave that is (literally) just down the road from us. We have lived here for 22 years and driven by it a million times and never gone in--until yesterday. Absolutely fascinating tour and information about this area and the cave itself. Glad we went!

I have heard that this was from 200 yards and in the neck. Surely that means someone who has been professionally trained? I think any shooting is unacceptable. But why focus on this person and not the hundreds of school children? Or the thousands in Gaza?

Unless you oppose right wing extremists now, while they are a minority, there will come a time when their intimidation will mean only the bravest will dare oppose them. All you need to do is be kind to people and treat everyone you meet as a human being www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvyU...

Why are federal agents covering their face? What are they hiding? Public servants should face the public!

Reid: Bondi is not a real AG. She just works for Trump.

All these U.S. attorneys โ€” whatโ€™s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) โ€” sheโ€™s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. Theyโ€™ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesnโ€™t exist. The FBI doesnโ€™t exist. Itโ€™s all just Trumpโ€™s employees.

The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was 'given' by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With evert new conflict their numbers have increased> How much longer is the world going to endure this spectacular wanton cruelty?  It is abundantly clear that the refugees have very right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict. No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled in masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate? A permanent settlement of the refugees in their homeland is an essential ingredient of any genuine settlement in the Middle East. Bertrand Russell 1970.
