Open mike is your post.
For announcements, general discussion, whatever you choose.
The usual rules of good behaviour apply (see the Policy).
Step up to the mike …
Iran sends around 200 missiles into Israel, all aimed at military targets. One civilian, a Palestinian, dies from shrapnel from an intercepted missile. Israel responds with devastating strikes on apartment blocks in Beirut. Hundreds of ordinary people join the deaths of the thousands in Gaza. In all likelihood, this is only the beginning for Beirut.
Dr Marandi and his Lebanese host take a walk around the devastation in Beirut. This is what the height of western civilization is. A colonial invading force that demands subjegation and cares not a wit about human decency.

Whatever one thinks of the Israeli military actions in Gaza, or Lebanon (and there are critics within Israel), it would be inaccurate to say the more recent actions in Lebanon are the response to Iran firing missiles into Israel.
I am in awe. What an inspiring way to emphasize….
Onya mate. True Respect !
CCN World, gives the most in depth report on the sabotage of the Gold Apollo pagers that I have read yet. And well worth a look.
But there was one snippet that particularly caught my eye.
This raised some questions in my mind.
Did any of the 3,000 pagers shipped to Australia, reach New Zealand?
Why was there no international recall of these pagers to check for tampering?
Were the US and Australia and Hong Kong authorities in communication with Mossad, and given an assurance by Mossad that the Gold Appollo pagers they received were guaranteed safe?
These pagers may present a public health risk.
These handy compact and relatively cheap and rugged devices are commonly used by On-Call femergency Drs, and other first responders, like volunteer fire fighters and ambulance drivers, especialy in rural New Zealand.
Did any Gold Appollo pagers enter New Zealand?
Have our intellingence agencies received an assurance from Mossad that these pagers are safe?
And was this safety assurance passed on to the pager users?
Might be well worth an OIA request to the government.

Good. A policy that has an overall beneficial effect. Hopefully this current mob won't reverse it.
