Tony Blair's Institute and Boston Consulting worked together on postwar plans for Gaza. One key aspect was removing 500 thousand of the locals by offering them $9000 to leave. This is peanuts.  Nobody will leave.

A spokesman for the Guardia Civil of Zamora said that tests being carried out by its traffic division showed Jota was driving the car at the time.

They added that the car was thought to be travelling above the speed limit on the road, which local media reported was 120kmph (74mph).
The Liverpool squad joined thousands who turned out in Jota's hometown of Gondomar to pay their respects.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson led mourners with two touching red wreaths in the shape of football shirts, emblazoned with Jota's No 20 and his brother's No 30

Where do Kilkenny go from here? They can't seem to go past the semifinal stage for Leinster winners. They haven't won an all Ireland since 2015.

Cork will go for goals. It could be a massacre.

This thread has slowed down since Armagh exited the championship.

It's hard to make the change from elite county player to real life. Carey is an extreme example but there are plenty of gambling addicts, drug addicts and alcoholic.

Alan Dershowitz putting the boot into Ireland.

Dershowitz is a raving Zionist. Norman Finkelstein plays with him and he hates it. Dershowitz's generation is dying. Joan Rivers has gone before him. He deserves a space in a home for the bewildered

Kerry pressed well but like anything, there's an element of luck involved too. Even the shot Armagh had in that run of 14 points against them that took a deflection which wrong footed the keeper but just trickled wide.
Ultimately, I don't think Armagh are finished and I don't think Kerry are invincible either. Kerry put pressure on Armagh, got some luck with breaking ball and to their absolute credit, they took full advantage of the situation.

Kerry were beaten by Armagh last year. It's swings and roundabouts.  Armagh will be back again.Maybe for the third Sam. Unless Fermanagh get in the way.

It's too early to talk about All-Stars. Winners and runners up usually get 11. Louth will get one. That leaves 3. 3 from Armagh Monaghan or Galway is deluded

Defense Minister Israel Katz held a situation assessment on Tuesday with IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. It's undeniable that the war must end with a negotiated agreement. The suffering on Israel's home front is both clear and severe: the closure of Israeli airspace, the shutdown of oil refineries, damage to a major hospital and the Weizmann Institute and shelling targeting the Kirya military compound in Tel Aviv. These recent attacks resulted in 21 Israelis killed, hundreds wounded, thousands displaced and numerous homes destroyed.

And worse, thousands of Israeli's fleeing and going back "home" to the US and Europe...

Trump is in the pocket of Netenyahu, the power of the Epstein blackmail program will take a generation to flush out of US politics if at all as they're now accustomed to the payments from AIPAC as well.

The US tax payer will be taken for yet another ride.

It looks as though the Iranians got all ofvthe centrifuges out of harm's way before the bombing. Israel exposed a huge spying machine at the start ofvthe year. They can't rebuild that again. Israel and the US lost

You're being very disrespectful and hurtful to the men and women who flew the B2 bombers for 36 hours straight by saying such things.

I'll do a decade of the rosary for them and light 14 candles for them,  to match the number of bunker buster bombs they bombed on empty nuclear facilities. They should have checked  before bombing. They should have gone to radio rentals.

And let's be honest. If there is one man who may know how to control Shane walsh it would be Robbie Brennan

Galway have more than one forward. Meath haven't been playing at the elite level for long. This might count in the last 10 minutes.

This last year's champions being favourites now always happens. Kerry have all the motivation they need. Armagh have beaten Dublin and Derry. It's nothing special. Complacency is the biggest potential problem facing Armagh. Doing back to back is very difficult. 

Has Trump finally realised the Israelis have been playing him like a fiddle?

The Iranians got the uranium away so the Israelis and the Yanks bombed nothing.

I really have a feeling Meath could beat Galway. I know Galway are better but they have had to dig deep a fair bit over the last few weeks.
If Ethan Rafferty ties up Walsh like he did Clifford then that's a massive boost. They also have big mobile men around the middle and can let rip from distance.

In the others I think the Dubs and Donegal will come through and Armagh will put Kerry out. I'm basing it off vibes but I could see Armagh by 5+ v Kerry.

This weekend is going to be brilliant.

ì think Tyrone will come through. Galway have more than one forward. Maybe the fatigue will tell, if not it promises to be an excellent match and may the best team win.
