Re: Israel what is next???
Young Chinese girl offered to help my wife over to the car as we were leaving the Club, my wife has bad knees and uses a walking stick, she thanked her and said to me, "That's the first time anyone has done that." I did remind her I have stopped asking as she is to independent LoL.

Re: Israel what is next???
It is the plan of those who were the funny clothes to take over the whole world.
Then there are those who speak like a small orange who say no it will be us.
Then there are those who say no our rockets are bigger than yours so you will all go to hell in a hand basket.
Then there are those living in the bus who complain because the price of grog has just gone up, they do not give a rats who is in charge as long as the grog is cold.

Re: Israel what is next???
I loved going to Israel when I was at sea. I was on the Haifa run for oranges to Europe andlater Ashdod with vegetables to France . Maybe my favourite country in the world and I have been back twice overland on motorcycles
But thanks to Netanyahu they have made a terrible mistake. Hamas are in my view evil but the ISraeli treatment of the Palestinians in contradiction of UN judgements which they totally disregard was always going to provoke massive retaliation. No justification for the Oct 7 behaviour but if you keep on and on battering people then something bad will happen. It is the rule of the blindingly obviious.

Re: Israel what is next???
Ian,
I put Netanyahu on the same plane as Hamas, his whole life has been leading up to this, so he can crush not Hamas as he says, but the Palestinians ever getting the Two State system up. I believe he knew what was going to happen and did nothing, Israeli intelligence is one of the best.

Re: Israel what is next???
Correct des, Israel and USA have the best surveillance systems there are, to say he did not know the rockets were coming is pure bull**** and many think along the same lines.
He used it as an excuse to attack, for the 18 months he was out of office there was a sort of peace.
He comes back and all hell lets lose.

Netanyahu is fighting this war to keep himself out of jail.

If it continues he may end up in jail anyway.
Might be charged with war crimes.
Very few here have curtains, mainly blinds of various sorts.

Blinds and Thermal lined curtains are a must.
