Middle east - Fresh strikes mar Gaza ceasefire extension
It is bound to be very painful for the 'Hamas' leadership to acknowledged that with the 'World Order' as it is now, the stark reality is that in any armed engagement with Israel, whether they initiate it or the Israelis do, they will always , in the short and medium term, loose. Unfortunately that means that Palestinian Children, Women, Disabled and old-men in their hundreds become inescapable victims of what is a futile excise that only placates and feeds the passionate 'egoticism and hunger to prevail' of the Leaders of both Communities. Those with influence over them must urgently plead with the 'Hamas' leadership that it must spare the ordinary Palestinians death , suffering and destruction flowing from this cyclical, uneven 'Dawoud and Goliath' struggle by completely ceasing to lob provocative , inaccurate, ineffective useless missiles at their historically related People occupying their once commonly shared Land. Convince 'Hamas' that Time, in the very long-term, is on their side and fruition of Justice for them will eventually be served when 'chance, change and diplomacy' have run their course ! - from Pierre2008, 3 hours 15 minutes ago
Europe - Russian aid convoy halts before Ukrainian border
No wonder that they are preventing humanitarian aid since they consider East Ukrainian people as subhuman. See the statements of Yulia Tymoshenko end members of Svoboda party. It is shameful event and Europe is going all alone with it Shame and double shame on you. - from alwaysforisrael, 4 hours 58 minutes ago
Middle east - Fresh strikes mar Gaza ceasefire extension
Again they cheat. HAMAS like ISIS, BOKO HARAM and likewise terror organizations cannot be trusted. The only reason Israelis did not suffer genocide as the Yazydis in Iraq is the might of IDF. - from carrigaholt, 14 hours ago

Americas - Obama urges calm after police shoot unarmed black teen
@Pikku83 You pay attention to the news and reality, You know blacks commit a massive majority of the crimes in US. The police have a very difficult job protecting our nation from them. - from Joseph Rosenfeld, 17 hours 2 minutes ago
Europe - Founder of Paris’s iconic Berthillon ice-cream shop dies
Just as in life, the worst thing about enjoying an ice cream is that it is eventually consumed and there is nothing left. - from Pikku83, 18 hours 58 minutes ago
Americas - Obama urges calm after police shoot unarmed black teen
You pay attention to the news. You know that blacks are often targets for fascist police in the U.S. - from Pikku83, 19 hours 1 minute ago
France - Jewish group asks France to rename ‘Death to Jews’ hamlet
A little politically correct scrubbing of an ancient name? Silly. - from Pikku83, 19 hours 8 minutes ago
Usa - US sends 130 more military advisers to Iraq
It would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic. The U.S. is sending advisors (isn't that how it always starts?) and bombing militants who are carrying sophisticated weapons that the U.S. shuttled into Syria. Libya should be a lesson. When you send a huge amount of arms and ammunition into a volatile area you have no control over where they will end up. Note to Western World: try something next time that doesn't involve killing and blowing up things. - from Swiiila, 19 hours 31 minutes ago
Americas - FBI probes death of unarmed black teen killed by Missouri police
@Pikku83 Actually most black people in the U.S. get along with the police and their neighbors. Blacks and other minorities can work hard in school, get financial aid to universities if they cannot afford them, obtain degrees and get excellent jobs. I am white but I have a black dentist, doctor, insurance agent, designer hairdresser, and the three principals at my daughters school are all black. Martin Luther King is the only American with a holiday named for him. Every town in the country of any size has a Martin Luther King Street. There are bad cops in every country and sometimes they discriminate. Don't believe what you hear in the media. The U.S. is a peaceful country where most people live side by side with neighborliness. En fait, la plupart des Noirs aux États-Unis s'entendent avec la police et leurs voisins. Les Noirs et les autres minorités peuvent travailler dur à l'école, obtenir de l'aide financière aux universités si elles ne peuvent pas se le permettre, obtenir des diplômes et obtenir d'excellents emplois. Je suis blanc, mais j'ai un dentiste noir, médecin, agent d'assurance, concepteur de coiffure, et les trois directeurs à mes filles l'école sont tous noirs. Martin Luther King est le seul Américain avec un jour férié appelé pour lui. Chaque ville dans le pays de toute taille a un Martin Luther King Street. Il ya de mauvais flics dans tous les pays et parfois, ils pratiquent la discrimination. Ne croyez pas ce que vous entendez dans les médias. Les États-Unis sont un pays paisible où la plupart des gens vivent côte à côte avec voisinage. - from Pikku83, 19 hours 31 minutes ago
Americas - FBI probes death of unarmed black teen killed by Missouri police
I hope that this reinforces with the French and other Europeans that the U.S. is a deeply racist, basically fascist nation. Blacks are often shot down by the police but even if they are not, very high percentages are imprisoned for petty crimes like possession of marijuana. - from Swiiila, 19 hours 31 minutes ago
Middle east - French military effort against ISIS ‘should focus on Lebanon’
France should help the U.S. in Iraq if for no other reason than to be a good ally. And if things go wrong politically, be there to shoulder the burden of that too. Even a small commitment is better than none. La France devrait aider les Etats-Unis en Irak, si pour aucune autre raison que d'être un bon allié. Et si les choses vont mal sur le plan politique, être là pour assumer la charge de cette trop. Même une petite engagement est mieux que rien.
