Debate - Gaza: A Truce At All Costs?
Good day , I been watching the show and i'd like to add some comments at Mohammed Alalfi speech , Mohammed , you're totally wrong and you're not representing Palestine , Mr. Khalid Masha'al and Mr.Hanya are not a blood traders as you said ,their sons are in the first lines fighting the enemies , those peoples are representing our minimum needs , they are defending for you also to get a freedom and to get out of Israel control as you're facing in egypt right now , you don't have the right to take about them , actually we involved Egypt in Shaleet deal and Egypt guaranteed nothing ,so we moved to try another countries , what's wrong with that !! How you Justify closing Rafah crossing , it's totally cooperation with the enemy, it's shame on you , how you calling killing civilians , shame on you we will win , we own Palestine. I hope to Publish my opinion.

Europe - Defying UK, France to proceed with warships sale to Russia
Today it was learned that the Russian military fired from artillery from Russia on to the Ukrainian (territory) military. When will France, England and Germany be sufficiently embarassed to finally act with guts and do the right thing to impose meaningful sanctions against Russia? Will you wait until Putin moves against the Baltic states??

Middle east - Israel faces heightened diplomatic pressure as Gaza violence rages
@SimonK Not so fast, SimonK... Opinion: Images in Gaza are misleading Israel is being heavily criticized for its offensive in Gaza. But the images of dead Palestinian civilians are deceptive. They are not victims of Israel, but of Hamas and its ruthless strategy, says Michael Wolffsohn. http://www.dw.de/opinion-images-in-gaza-are-misleading/a-17801690

Cameron has failed to take a single concrete step to hold back the Ukrainian militants in Kiev to first stop the wholesale murder of civilians by his friend and despot Petro Poroshenko and to implement the agreement reached in Geneva.

Middle east - Kerry arrives in Israel to push for Gaza ceasefire
How do you deal with an incompetent and ignorant US President and Secretary of State who time and again want to interfere in the conflict they understand nothing about? You demonstrate what they should know about the Middle East and don’t. You let them take the Kerry Quiz! A mini 5 + 1 question quiz for Secretary Kerry http://www.madisdead.blogspot.co.il/2014/01/a-mini-5-1-question-quiz-for-secretary.html

Europe - Hollande says French warship delivery will ‘depend on Russia’s attitude’
@dmatlhoko35 To reward a country that has invaded another, stealing Crimea, (so they didn't have to pay their lease or loose their navy base), causing violence in Kiev, and supplying, training, and providing rebels to destabilize a country so severely that innocent men, women and children are dying due to Russian weapons and intervention is indeed a very good reason to cancel a contract, so a dictator cannot have more weapons to terrorize his neighbors. Maybe you forget the 1950's when the Soviets over ran the Czech Republic, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Poland, the Baltics, and other formerly free countries. But we are not talking French cheese, art, or Peugeots. We are talking about deadly military equipment being given to a dictator who is holding Europe and France hostage with it's gas and oil. What about Russia honoring their signed, sealed, and paid for contract for oil and gas? Russia said they will cut off France in retaliation if French stands up and does the right thing. Contracts with despots do not count and should be revoked. France needs to make the International community stand up and buy these ships for NATO. Not hand them over to a state threatening to turn off the gas and freeze France and Europe in the winter. These contracts are signed in Dutch and Malaysian blood. Hope you can sleep at night.

Americas - Smoker's widow awarded $23 bn in punitive damages in Florida
Hell no!! they should not get a dime, I know a many people whom have never smoked, died of the same causes, as matter of fact I just purchased a classic car from a lady whom is 73, had half of one lung removed because of cancer, never SMOKED! Yet I had a neighbor we called bubba, smoked the fattest cigars he could buy, died at 93, was this smoking to, most males live around 70 if they're lucky, maybe smoking kept him alive. His family should sue for him living so long as a smoker, this would be a first. Guess tobacco companies just needs to call it quits in the US, lay off every worker, file bankruptcy In the US move to china where they can't be sued. Americas going to the dumps, literally, because of this kind of none sense.
