    Hamas attacks Israel

    Israeli leaders thanked the United States after the House passed a foreign aid bill Saturday that provides $26.4 billion in military aid to Israel and humanitarian assistance, including some for Gaza. Calling it a “much appreciated” step, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on X that the...

    Round 2

    By the Iranian State for sure, & it reads like not direct sponsorship from the Lebanese & Syrian Gov’t…but only because the actual governments are only similar or less powerful than Hezbollah, so grudgingly tolerated.

    Round 2

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah_involvement_in_the_Syrian_civil_war http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_civil_war_spillover_in_Lebanon Sounds like they (Syrian & Lebanese Gov’ts) affiliated with Hezbollah to fight against ISIS and Al-Quada, so not exactly separating themselves from...

    Round 2

    I hear you, & though I don’t disagree, there’s got to be a term that all agree upon including the groups themselves you’d think, right?

    Round 2

    Hezbollah are in and operating from Syria & Lebanon. Are the Syrian & Lebanese Governments Affiliated with Hezbollah? Is Hezbollah a division of the Syrian or Lebanese military under the power and control of the government in power in either Lebanon or Syria? Intentionally or not, I think...

    Round 2

    OK, in your definition, is Israel a proxy of the US or is the US a Proxy of Israel? Same with the UK and Saudi Arabia? Is Israel the proxy of Saudi Arabia or is Saudi Arabia the proxy of Israel? Why are Israel’s “proxy’s” nations, where as Irans “proxy’s” non-nations? There’s a pattern here...

    Round 2

    Ok, but is that a term that everybody would agree on?

    Federal budget update:

    Or the next government will have to trim so much garbage and fat, while the Liberal/NDP & NDP/Liberals point out that the next government is trimming garbage and fat “taking things away” that just didn’t work or the money just wasn’t there for anyway….as selling features for future elections...

    Round 2

    Most of these groups are considered terrorists by many, but not all. Mercenaries fight for $$$ independent of national…allegiance. I’m assuming some of the members of these groups are mercenaries but not all, or the groups themselves. There’s got to be a term, like nation or country but not...

    Round 2

    Let me word this differently. Houthis & PLO & Hezbollah & Hamas and others like them aren’t countries, they’re militias or whatever separate from the nations they occupy, and not necessarily aligned with the governments in the nations they occupy. The US & UK & Saudi Arabia & Jordan are...

    Round 2

    These are countries. Neighbouring or otherwise, allied through common interests or outcomes or security concerns. I’m sure the propaganda goes both ways. The numbers cited vary greatly depending on the source. I’ll agree with you there. I do know that Iran acts out against Israel using Hamas...

    Round 2

    I’m sure they’d have to.

    Round 2

    Funny how Iran has been attacking Israel through its proxies for 45yrs, but Iran retaliated against Israel April 12th or 13th? The perspective is skewed. For six months, Iran’s Hamas puppets out of Gaza & Irans Hezbollah puppets out of Lebanon and Syria have been lobbing rockets and missiles...

    I stand corrected. Text to talk. The effort was there for both persecuted & prosecuted, but it stands at “just” persecuted.

    Round 2

    Israel and Iran on Friday both played down an apparent Israeli airstrike near a major air base and nuclear site in central Iran, signaling the two bitter enemies are ready to prevent their latest eruption of violence from escalating into a full-blown regional war. But the indecisive outcome of...

    JK Rowling

    Quick Google, & Rowling isn’t isn’t in the top 10 richest women in the world, so a quick second Google, and as of 2020 she was ranked 34th richest woman in the UK. (#6 was Salma Hayek. Who knew? That’s 6th in the UK, not the world)

    Iranically Iran, Middle East’s Karen…

    Contrary to what many experts claim, Israel’s muted strike on Thursday in retaliation for the Islamic Republic of Iran’s unprecedented drone and missile attack last weekend actually makes all-out war between the two countries much less likely. This should suit the Islamic Republic’s interests...

    Well, today is the Liberal/NDP Non-Coalition Coalition Budget Day!

    “If you’re renting right now, you’re going to want to hear this,” Trudeau said in the short video. “Our upcoming budget is going to make renting fairer.” He explains that renters will soon be able to see what previous tenants paid so a fair deal can be negotiated. Trudeau also said renters can...
