Then some stuff about the current administration of the West Bank (formerly of Jordan, meaning the annexed portion west of the River Jordan that Jordan renounced its claim to in 1988). Well, at this point it’s called the West Bank (formerly of Jordan, meaning the annexed portion west of the...

…another $7million… off the top of my head. I think that’s about the dollar figure for the rebranding last year of the carbon tax rebate thing…it’s new name & forcing the bank to list it as such, etc…

Is it still Jordan then? Who’s in charge there? It depends on the location. Currently this is how it works. In the 1990s, the PLO and Israel signed the Oslo Accords and the Gaza-Jericho Agreement, deals that divided areas of control in Gaza and the West Bank (East Jerusalem excluded) between...

The first debate between Non-Biden Harris & Trump is Tuesday I think unless that’s changed. I’m curious to see how they both dance without a teleprompter & a script.

The Liberals are trying for the Jedi Mind Trick, paid for by the taxpayer & not their own coffers, hoping that the election is going to be a year away. It may work on the simpleminded.

You seem to be forgetting that all the surrounding nations couldn’t give two shits about the Palestinians, & want that land to be under Muslim control, because it was once under Muslim control therefore it should be under Muslim control into perpetuity. It’s all about expansionism, and never...

The Trudeau government will launch a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign in the year ahead of the next election to promote its carbon pricing plan and the rebates it gives to Canadians, the Star has learned. http://apple.news/Abp9fKdgnQQCOg26qo0kjeg This of course, won’t be considered...

If Trump actually gets in, which is entirely possible from the outside watching…I’m assuming his lawyers (again, just an assumption) will tie things up for the next four years arguing the state vs federal pardon or that he should get house arrest in the White House, and then he can’t leave...

I was done at that point. Had stuff to do. Work Mon-Fri in an office away from home, & the weekend is my own work/play time. Didn’t wanna leave all my chores for Sunday. Anywho…when, in 1967, Israel ended up with the West Bank from Jordan, & Gaza (& the Sinai Peninsula) from Egypt, and the...

What civil rights does Hamas bestow upon the citizenry of Gaza?

Didn’t between 1948 & at least the first 1/2 of 1967 at least. Didn’t belong to those that call themselves the Palestinians now either then apparently. The borders of which map above should be used for the two states solution borders based on 1967?

Hmmm…ok. Jordan did lose its West Bank in 1967 to Israel that it had captured and annexed it in 1948 when Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria all attacked Israel simultaneously. Egypt held Gaza during the same timeframe. Jordan (or Egypt) didn’t establish a Palestinian state in that two decades...

That was only a decade to go for me. I hear you.

No idea, but those scarf things are such a “Right Now” fashion accessory so maybe it balances out?

Personally, and this is just my experience because I also happen to have a job where I could do much of what I do from home if I chose to do so…If I’m at the office, without the demands of home overlapping, I get much more done in a shorter amount of time…& what I could accomplish in the office...

University & College encampments became a “home base” for “climate justice groups, labour activists, trade unionists, gay rights activists (and) socialists/Marxists.” While there is no particular reason why such groups should be inherently against Israel — a state that has a strong labour...

I concur, but if the same amount of work isn’t being accomplished, and the federal public servants numbers have increased in the last decade by about 40%, with most of that during the COVID years, and consultants have also taken over a chunk of their workload in order to have worse outcomes for...

On Monday, federal public servants will return to the office a minimum of three days a week— if grudgingly. Public service unions will start the week with an early-morning rally opposing the policy….but where? Is Monday one of the three days/week that they have to actually go to work...

Sorry, still into my 1st cup of coffee this morning, as it was a long night for weird reasons. You’re responding to this, right? That’s the first 1/2 dozen results I got when I googled “When was the last music festival in Gaza?” so I can see where it has nothing to do with anything. If you...
