Middle east - Israel appropriates large tracts of West Bank land
Open the holy book and find that Israel exists thousands of years. This is our ancestors land. The Arabs know it very well. They dig in the ground and find jewish israeli artifacts dated to king David, Solomon and other Israeli kings. There has never been any "palestinian history" nor "palestinian king", nothing. If we shall let arabs manage the country it will look like Syria, Iraq Lebanon. No need to detail what Israel prevents for the good of all it's population including arabs. Just read the news about ISIS, HAMAS. A strong Israel is good news for all.

Europe - Putin calls for talks on 'statehood' for east Ukraine
Now we get to the meat of the matter and what Putins' intentions have been since Crimea. The EU and US should either fish or cut bait. Heavy sanctions and military arms to Ukraine OR put your tail between your legs and walk away.

Europe - Ukrainian forces retreat from Luhansk airport after clashes
When is EU going to show some balls and give the Ukraine the wherewithall to fight Russian surrogates and Russian soldiers themselves. If you keep dilly dallying there will be more at risk for you down the road.

France - New French economy minister takes swipe at 35-hour work week
@carrigaholt Actually. the USA hasn't bought into this nonsense nearly as much as the EU. Our elected leaders have been making the same foolish choices, but first they had a significant fiscal stimulus, and our central bank has been much smarter about trying to stimulate and avoiding austerity. American leaders merely needlessly delayed the recovery. Europe's leaders have created the second Great Depression.

Middle east - Israel appropriates large tracts of West Bank land
This is what Israel has planned to do all along. They are not really interested in negotiations but rather seek to delay resolution while they grab the land they want. Eventually they will begin carving pieces out of Lebanon and Syria.

The France24 online news updates are informative; however, it would be good to hear the 'recap' at the end of each news update. Currently, the recap is cut-off, with the presenter saying; "...and just to recap..." then the update ends. Thanks. :-)
