It’s the only way to secure Israel’s borders, the people in Gaza simply can’t live there, there’s nothing left, send them to Arabs countries that will take them as refugees, there needs to be a solution for Palestine that doesn’t involve them murdering their neighbours, I think the 2 state solution is dead.

On the other hand all Israelis could move to the USA, a country they have more in common with than any in the middle east.

Or Greenland

Forget wars, they'd all perish from hypothermia.

Or Greenland

I'm not sure what his personal motives for Greenland. Although I can see why it might well be one of the most fought over places in the future. He's going to be well dead by the time it thaws and anyone can get to the vast majority of the good stuff.

Never going to happen. They dont want them as much as Europe doesnt. And its not about race, its all about attitude, and political stance. It wouldnt be long before they start protesting, and chanting "death to (their new abode)". They do have a bit of history in this matter.

In the last few moments, President Donald Trump has insisted that "everybody loves" his shock proposal for the United States to "take over" the Gaza Strip.
This is despite a resounding rejection by Palestinians, Middle East leaders, and governments around the world.
"Everybody loves it," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when asked about the reaction to his plan.
He then said it was "not the right time" for further questions as he was overseeing the swearing in of new US Attorney General Pam Bondi.

How on earth some people can question the Labour cabinet's credentials whilst swooning over President Trump is completely baffling - look at the people he has in his top team - scary doesn't cover it.

As you will know, because I have mentioned it (over 😁 ) frequently, I don't vote in anything.

Not even the POTS?

Mods, somebody has hacked Fenners account. I demand a recount! Although can the actions of just person affect the end result?

As you will know, because I have mentioned it (over 😁 ) frequently, I don't vote in anything. I completely disagree with the electoral process and the lack of public interest and accountability for those who are given the privilege to govern us. So I have tried to avoid this thread. But given time, Starmer will turn out to potentially the worst PM this country has ever seen. And possibly (hopefully) soon, the most controversial.

Wise words Terence. On a separate note I’m amazed people are still bemoaning Brexit, what a waste of time that is. Think of it like Belinda Bucketbits, it will make little difference whether you are in or out. Seriously, think how much has changed good or bad since Brexit. It’s fairly obvious it’s going to be exactly the same going the other way. Might be a way for another pointless politician to get their arse into the top job though, so not all bad news.

Jesus, you know Belinda as well?
I thought she was just mine 🥺

Trump has just banned paper drinking straws because they just don’t work, and said let’s get back to plastic, this guy is not just brilliant but also practical, Justin Rowland Rat will be having kittens, epic.

Praise donnie, saviour of the plastic straw

Trump has just banned.......

Ah the land of the free.

Ah the land of the free.

Don't say that, if the Donald hears something is free he'll slap a tariff on it!

You mean like the UK comrade, where hurty words gets you 3 years.

You mean like the UK comrade, where hurty words gets you 3 years.

Well Comrade, I sincerely hope you are never in a position where somebody else's "hurty words" mean that somebody wants to commit acts of violence against you, your family or your home. Likewise that nobody wants to use social media to encourage members of your family to harm or kill themselves. Quite rightly there are laws around what people publicly say and quite rightly there are punishments for breaking those laws. Unfortunately, not everyone in society is responsible in their actions towards others, so we can't rely upon common sense to prevail.

If only everybody would have "be kind" as their mantra. Love and peace to all. ❤️🫛*
