"irrelevant of what the world says"
-
my old Jewish boss posted this on facebook today: Israel is the only country in history that can fight a defensive war on seven fronts and still be labeled the aggressor. - Gaza - Judea and Samaria - Lebanon - Iran - Syria - Yemen - Iraq But guess what. The list of things that are exclusively applied to Israel is long. Israel is the only country labeled an apartheid state while the people who are the so-called victims hold positions in the parliament of the state as well as positions on the Supreme Court. Some apartheid. Israel is the only country that is accused of genocide and ethnic cleansing while the population of the people who are supposed to be the victims continues to grow rapidly. Israel is the only country expected to send humanitarian aid into enemy territory with the knowledge that the aid will be stolen by terrorists. Israel is the only country labeled a liar about a massacre that was not only live streamed but is confirmed explicitly and regularly by the attackers. Israel is the only country expected to respond “proportionally” when thousands of its innocent civilians are murdered, raped, and abducted. Israel is the only country that has to consistently justify its right to exist. Israel is the only country that has to apologize for developing cutting edge aerial defense systems to protect its civilians. Israel is the only country that is expected to accept daily threats to their existence from multiple regimes and not retaliate. Israel is the only country that announces to the enemy where it’s going to attack in order to avoid civilians casualties and still, it is condemned for indiscriminate killing. Israel is the only country condemned for the most precise military operation perhaps in history that killed and injured hundreds of confirmed terrorists using their communication devices and killed zero innocents. Israel is the only country that has hundreds of UN resolutions against it while the real evil regimes of the world are ignored completely. Israel is the only country with a strong Air Force capable of defeating the enemy in seconds but avoids doing so in order to minimize civilian casualties and is still accused of genocide. Israel is the only country accused of starving a population that opens new bakeries and restaurants on a regular basis and posts about them on social media. Israel is the only country that has to convince the world that a terrorist organization full of rapists, murderers, and pedophiles is not a reliable source for casualty numbers in the middle of a war. Israel is the only country that is constantly attacked from within hospitals and still has to apologize when eliminating the terrorists doing the attacking. Israel is the only country that is the eternal home of the Jewish people, has been for thousands of years, and will continue to be, irrelevant of what the world says. We’re not going anywhere! They can keep yelling and stomping their feet. We’re here to stay! Am Yisrael Chai!

Utd are getting left well behind now There's 6 teams getting CL football and money next season so they're hardly likely to beat any of those to decent players They need to build a decent squad that can compete with a proven manager who has done it before I thought Almiron had just inherited a bad squad and culture to begin with, but there's nothing to suggest he will turn it around, if anything they've got worse Watching last night, it was clear it wasn't working and he did nothing to change it for 70 mins He's no better than IE who could probably do a decent job when a decent squad in the Portuguese league, because it's shite

That's busted nobhead
-
Hope Chelsea win but Betis not to be sniffed at
-
That's the most dramatic go fund me story I've ever read
-
Wonder what the cut off point would be, so to speak
-
I think the point is neither did you find anyone defending it I certainly don't remember anyone defending it There's less outrage over Russia on here because there's less people defending it And even less outrage or defence over whatever conflicts going on in the world because they aren't being discussed, on here, or in our media Where is the defence or outrage regards the persecution of Uyghurs in China?
-
Surprised he didn't get Musk in so they could both go at him like they did with Zelensky
-
In response to @LH white in the other thread Assuming they get CL footy Grealish to Newcastle I reckon Be a good fit
-
It's hardly a sentence though getting bummed every day in prison till he dies
-
33 and 35 when it started 44 and 46 when it finished and they both look much older than that to me people did look much older for their age in the 80s and before than they do now I believe it's because we drink much more water these days woody was between 24 and 31 when he was in it
-
yep, so far so good gym every day had a tuna fish and edamame bean salad for lunch every day chugging the water took the dog out for extra walks of an evening instead of sat watching tv with a beer round Utd neighbours for the match tonight, he'll be drinking but I won't, which seems alien as it's a social beer and they should be allowed, but fuck it am all in for non-school night drinking for a while aim is to not have a beer till Sunday when I go to watch Richard Ashcroft (at Stevenage FC ground of all places)

Inevitably, Bilbao is getting trashed https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14734387/Spanish-Man-United-Tottenham-fans-destroying-Bilbao-streets-Europa-League-final.html

my brother lives in Edinburgh it would be rude not to so I think I'll be rude and pass unless I can somehow turn it into a family visit and take the other half and kids to Edinburgh for a few days either side but that will be expensive for a friendly I think I'll pass
-
aye I'm drawing a line under the IE era, the way of playing and what it needed from individuals and the squad to work done it's over to SS now to adapt and take this squad forward so pretty much whoever he keeps or gets rid of is fine by me the only one that I'd be disspointed to see not utilised next season is Collins
-
Been post loads, always looked like a decent pub, but never been in even when I worked on chapel Street for several years
-
So what would your opinion be on Israel, if after eliminating Hamas, they keep on doing what they're doing now which is flattening Palestinian land, and forcing them out with a view for taking it for themselves?
-
Maybe I should call him BEN for old times sake
-
Starmer suspends trade talks with israel and puts sanctions on settlers france and canada on the same page no idea what sanctioning settlers or the impact will be BN isn't happy so that's fine by me https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/05/20/israel-gaza-war-hamas-netanyahu-starmer/
-
I'd forgotten about him because he's always injured, he was shite in those last few games I don't expect him to make any great impact next season, certainly not as a potential starter
-
IE emering as favourite for Cardiff job assuming this is becuase he's backed himself heavily https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/new-favourite-emerges-cardiff-city-31679496
-
maybe not of our current 3 midfield picks, I rate them in this order - Morley, Sheehan, GT I'm a bit meh about all of them, they all have qualities, but I'm sure we can get on fine without one or two of them so long as new faces come in, and I'd be amazed if SS didn't have at least one new midfielder on his list I think we can do better, I hope SS can
-
I'm not convinced he would be if he stays fine, if he goes fine, I wouldn't be paticulary arsed either way, he was always one of the first to dissppear when it got tough if he's part of SS plans then it will be interesting to see how he appoaches it because we can't be going into next season look to play a combination of Sheehan, Morley and GT each week or at least i don't think we can, we need at least one new face in there, if SS is of the same opinion, it will be interesting to see who will be left out
-
I'm not sure about that he's been very much a part of our problems in recent seasons - great when allowed to play, no where to be seen when not he dissappears all too often and when he's muscled out our midfield is non existant because it's a man down if we aim to play the same way with him in the same role next season, then it's a problem that needs to be addressed by bringing in someone that actually allows Sheehan to play his game i.e. a bastard
