The thing is that there will be propaganda and lies as per any war but let's say that even (let's be very conservative) say 20% of what Israel are alleged to be up to is as heinous as they say then they're barbaric.

There are lies in war but I very much doubt one side is 100% lying and the other 0%. How people convince themselves of this I do not understand. It's basically just picking a side and backing up everything they do regardless.

3 mass graves found near shifa.

I hope Israeli is pilloried at Eurovision.

Bernie Sanders has a pretty strongly worded video against Israel there which is great to see. Also he's a jew which is helpful here. (It shouldn't need to be but the misuse of the anti-semitism card means it is)

None of the listed AB countries for me.

I've been to Aruba though.

Not a country.

Its always a grey area

In January 1986, Aruba seceded from the Netherlands Antilles, becoming a constituent country of the Kingdom in its own right. In October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved and Curaçao and Sint Maarten became the newest constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Going next week, not to a family friendly one though, would imagine Old Town Albuferia would be best suited for a quiet time, mum and dad usually went there, they loved it.

But the strip you'd need to avoid! Think my sister stayed at the Jupiter resort, not sure when to be honest, her kids were smaller. think its expensive though.

Checked out any Airbb?

Armagh v Down - DOWN 4-2 on penalties
Donegal v Tyrone - TYRONE by 2

I almost hope it does go to penalties to see how Armagh cope with that.
But, to be fair, I think they'll have too much for Down, though I don't think there'll be that much in it.
As for Donegal v Tyrone, can't see Tyrone doing it. 2 years ago Donegal were narrowly beaten by Derry in the Ulster final. They had a blip last year with management issues, but they are getting back to where they were. Tyrone on the other hand, seem to be slipping back and I'm not convinced by the management team. I'd imagine Donegal won't be as "up" for this match, but I still can't see anything other than a Donegal win here, maybe even a comfortable one at that.
