Most Jews are decent but there is a small minority who cause all of the trouble.

Most Jews are decent but there is a small minority who cause all of the trouble.

Can you provide any data to back that up...

vast majority of the world Jews are in the US and Israel and the majority in both those countries support the genocide. I dont thinknanyone who support genocide can be considered decent...

Israeli leftwingers hate Netanyahu. American Jews under 40 are anti genocide and so are American left wing Jewd. That's a sizeable number of decent Jews.

Israel is rotten . Moaning about antisemitism while feeding it by murdering 40,000 people, mostly women and children. Bringing it under control will mean challenging the Jewish lobby in Europe and the US.

it's the Israeli lobby or zionist lobby.. Plenty of Jews lobby to end the genocide.

I dont understand what that link is suppose to tell me.

The distinction between Jews and Zionists is too sophisticated for most people. Judaism is controlled by Zionists. Mirvis is a good example. He is the Chief Rabbi of the UK.

Anyone else infested with wasps this week? Or do I have a nest somewhere 

Had a nest 2 weeks ago. Pest control did the business, but there has certainly been a surge in the last few days.

Get a peacock. The other day I was at the zoo and watched a peacock dining on poor unsuspecting wasps.

Can you eat peacock? Fatten one up on wasps and flies over the summer, eat peacock eggs, then some organic peacock for Christmas dinner.
You might be onto a winner.

I once knew a man called Drew Peacock.

Oh how the girls sniggered.

What's the rest of the Limerick?

What have been the big plays for the SDLP in recent years?
You could substitute SDLP with any other party operating in the north and  remove recent from the question, it would still warrant a rhetorical answer of none.

There are no big plays available.

As mentioned in another thread, elections in NI are now little more than a glorified census.

Nothing happens, nothing changes, nothing moves forward after an election. And nor can it. The real decisions are handled in Westminster. NI's politicians serve only marginally more purpose than acting as a wall between lobbyists and decision makers.

Except after the 2017 election when the Tories had a minority and the DUP named its price. SF could have replaced them but they don't take their seats.

How long before we see Colum sitting in the Lords - under protest of course.

Colum has proven beyond all doubt that sitting in Westminster is pissing into the wind for any Nationalist party. Complete waste of time.

The A5 and Casement are 2 issues which are important to the people and over which SF has no leverage. Plaid Cymru ans the SNP bith take their seats. SF is an outlier.

Inflation and soaring costs of potatoes and fish brought about by climate change and the war in Ukraine are partially to blame for the meal costing £9.88 in July 2024, the most recent available data, compared to £6.48 in July 2019.

Now that Ukrainian forces hold more than 1,250 square kilometres of Russian territory – a psychologically damaging situation which has not occurred since the Second World War – Putin's worries will only have been magnified by successful drone strikes overnight and this morning on Moscow itself.
In a rare admission of failure, Russian authorities confirmed that Ukraine launched over 45 separate drone sorties into Russian territory over the early hours of Wednesday. These, crucially, included at least 11 drone strikes on Moscow. This was one of the largest drone strikes on the capital since Russia widened its war on Ukraine in February 2022.
Today's strike is on a par with the May 2023 attack, when at least eight drones were destroyed over the capital in an attack that Putin said was Kyiv's attempt to 'scare and provoke' Russia. Quite how Ukraine can further provoke a country which has invaded it, occupies around 18 per cent of its territory, and has committed war crimes including the forced deportation of children into Russia, is a mystery.
But Ukraine most certainly has scared the Russian population. This is a very smart tactic by the Ukrainians, who  increasingly overcome their disadvantages in manpower and conventional munitions by exploiting gaps in Russian defences.
Today's drone operations resulted in all three of Moscow's major airports shutting down, causing widespread travel disruption. Wealthy Muscovites far removed from the carnage and brutality of the Donbas woke up this morning to a real bombardment, and the terrifying noises and experiences of air defences shooting down drones over their leafy capital.

[I've a feeling one day they'll make Belarus pay very heavily for facilitating the Russians on their border.]

Ukraine continues to push into Russia.  It's a gutsy gamble.  I've a feeling one day they'll make Belarus pay very heavily for facilitating the Russians on their border.

I have no such feeling. Ukraine will be lucky if they see this out with a small loss of Territory.

Buffer zone. They also want to divert Russians from  Donestsk but that hasn't happened so far.

What is Ukraine's long-term plan?

Are they trying to take part of Russia or what?

I remember when I worked in  DUblin hearing a colleague say that the North was a separate country and I couldn't get my head around it . At the time the Troubles were in  the news all the time.
