Yes, because the shady fuckers running what's left of the club haven't given up on stitching up another team (Worcester ) yet. So it's interesting keeping track of it. Plus, as above, if people want to discuss it, who is anyone else to say it should be shut down?

If so, that's a scandal... I wonder if the best chance of getting there earlier is some kind of giant catfight in the Tories as their impending doom becomes obvious.

It seems broadly accepted that Israel were happy to see Hamas in control of Gaza because it undermined the two state solution that the more moderate Palestinian Authority were willing to negotiate over. Like Israel's current government, Hamas isn't prepared to accept a two state solution, they...

Good Lord man, find someone who hasn't called out the atrocities committed by Hamas (or other Islamic terrorists. You are despising something that exists entirely in your own head - you're literally making it up. What people are saying about Israel isn't that it doesn't have the right to defend...

Given it seems accepted that the hospital was warned a strike was coming by Israel, that it had been hit twice already by Israeli missiles, and that neither of those strikes seemed to have caused huge craters, I think it's a pretty big leap to assert that it definitely wasn't Israel...

Let's not get overambitious, eh. :)

I think it's the top 10 countries combined, but even that might be a bit of a myth, especially when it comes to China. https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/09/19/china-defense-budget-military-weapons-purchasing-power/

Global fanbase my arse. Two expats in Australia, and a bored bloke in the US who watches a dodgy stream twice a season and thinks that the kit looks cool. Tops. Bless em, they don't half kid themselves...

From the Guardian: Puts the lie to the IDF claim that they wouldn't target hospitals. The direct quotes are from Hosam Naoum, Anglican bishop of Jerusalem. The hospital is run by the Anglicans... “At that point in time [of the blast], we know there were thousands of people there,” he said...

I think the Palestinians would say that this is about their simple right to exist. Israel would say the same of course, but the power imbalance here is obvious.

Genocide in Gaza? That's what the legal scholars are saying... https://twailr.com/public-statement-scholars-warn-of-potential-genocide-in-gaza/

I'm just trying to get this scarf finished before Christmas...

My line on it mate, I can't tell you who to stand with, but don't get too distracted by a single, contested incident. So personally, I'd say... Stand against those who murdered innocent civilians and children in Israel. Stand against those who are doing the same to the innocent civilians and...

Unless there's strong independent evidence, I suspect Arab countries will just take this as another example of America (and the West) taking Israel's side, right or wrong. Regardless, it doesn't really change the rest of the situation, where Israel is in effect brutally punishing the entire...

I hate it when people derail knitwear threads with football stuff...

Shotgun trolling. Not worth the effort to engage, imho.

Let's just say for once, that the IDF are telling the truth (this bearing in mind that it's an organisation with a long and proven history of misinformation), then there's still a massive amount of hypocrisy in their approach. If you watched the BBC last night, the IDF spokesman was outraged at...

Quite honestly then, if you feel that way, I'd suggest you seek help. Since you don't care about others, than obviously the bullshit that you're spouting is just to get a rise. So basically, yes, a troll. No point in engaging with trolls, they're usually just sad people seeking attention...

Your grasp of physics is about as robust as your basic humanity. Not even Israel is claiming that the hospital was being used as an ammunition dump. In any case it's irrelevant, the blockade on aid, energy and water, will kill far more in a matter of days. That means fuck all to you, of...

Israel definitely doubling down on it's claim that it's a stray missile fired by Hamas. No one in the Arabic countries or the remainder of Palestine seems convinced. It's possible, I suppose, but let's be honest, whether it was a deliberate Israeli strike or not, their actions in blocking aid...
