DarkSide is apolitical though so they're not really terrorists

$5 mil isn't that much either considering how much it's probably costing for every day of service interruption

Pretty crazy to think what sort of damage 1000's of rockets could do if the Iron Dome didn't exist.

It'll probably end up back into the economy through OnlyFans. It's sort of a stimulus.

So like, the take to have regarding Israel/Palestine is that while the west dislikes both groups we hate Muslims more than we hate Jews so the Jews get our funding, right? :thinking Not that Israel = Jewish blah blah blah

The take to have is that we're very sorry we tried to kill them all for some free real estate.

Just last year the Dutch railways decided to compensate the families of Holocaust victims.
For decades the story was that the Germans had 'forced' the Dutch railways to send trains to the camps and that carriages were stolen by Germany.
In recent years the books have been examined and then they realized that the Dutch railways billed the Germans for the transports and provided staff and security.
The Germans didn't miss a payment, send a personal thank you note from time to time and the Dutch railways made a nice profit on the operation.

Even though there's a risk of Holocaust deniers taking their own conclusions, a lot of European governments and companies have started to look into their history.
Turns out anti-semitism prior to WW2 was not just a problem in Germany and Eastern Europe.

All Europe can and will ever do is support Israel.
Which is why EU governments have no answer to people with Palestinian flags walking through Brussels and Amsterdam shouting sentences that start with Hamas and end with gas.
They simply 'let them' hoping that it will go away that way.

Anyone who thinks that the Nazis could organise the herding and extermination of 6 million people without the knowledge of the governments of the rest of the world is absurd.

They knew, they just didn't care much. On a list of priorities, it was somewhere down below making sure the commie bastards didn't gain access to all those brilliant German scientists.

If Israel had not returned land to Syria/Jordan and Egypt after the Yum Kippur war we wouldn't even be having a discussion about the Palestinian state.
The real problem (that Israel does not want to admit) is that they cannot occupy or take over what is now known as the Palestinian state because it would ruin their economy and would make the Jews a minority in Israel within less than a decade.

It is only a matter of time before Israel falls. They can either no longer afford their defenses and people will leave to escape the rocket barrages and drone attacks and their economy craters.
Or Hamas can muster enough forces and public opinion turns against bombing Gaza so the IDF can no longer stop the influx of arms from Iran and Syria and is overrun by a much larger army.
If current trends of anti-semitism hold there will be no Europeans or Americans boots coming to the defense of Israel either.

In a way the collapse has already begun with the mobs fighting in the streets of large cities.

Ok, this is pretty fucked up.

Belarus forced a plane en route from Greece to Lithuania to land with a fake bombscare so the KGB could arrest a journalist that they want to execute.

https://twitter.com/ThomasVLinge/status/1396461385589182470





Stay clear of Ryanair folks.


Lithuania and Slovenia have demanded the release of the journalist and the safe return of all passengers.

Lithuania calls for the EU and NATO to respond to the Belarussian threat to civil avation immediatly.
They could invoke Article 5 as an active NATO member.

Donald Tusk fromer President of the EU council and leader of the EPP faction in the EU parliament also calls for an immediate response.
Quote
Lukashenka has become a threat not only to the citizens of his country, but also to international security. His act of state terrorism requires an immediate and decisive response from all European governments and institutions.

Apparently the KGB 'hijacked' the plane

Something these dictators don't understand is that if you want the rest of the world to take your rigged election seriously, then at least make the contest somewhat close. 60/40, maybe stretch it to 65/35 and I'll kind of believe it. The trouble is the fragile egos of these maniacs won't allow that. They need to show the world that they are rigging the election like it's some big dick contest.

In the part that Assad controls this is probably the outcome.

I mean, if you held an election in the US the day after 9/11, 90% of the country would've voted for Bush.

It's either that or just go the other way and make it a complete farce, 99.9% or 100% like ol Saddam or the Kims would do. But no, a bunch of these guys do like 85-95% which is just weird.

David Frost wants us to know that he really doesn't like the NI protocol. Again.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-57324713

Quote
The UK's Brexit Minister has reiterated his belief that the NI Protocol is unsustainable in its current form.


It's really a shame he didn't have his say before...



Oh wait, he was chief negotiator and was so proud of himself.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55453848

Quote
The UK's new trade deal with the EU marks "the beginning of a moment of national renewal", Boris Johnson's chief Brexit negotiator has said.

The agreement was announced on Christmas Eve, after months of fraught talks on issues such as fishing rights and business rules.

Lord Frost described it as "one of the biggest and broadest" ever.

Get fucked you muppet :lol
