Apologies for the sarcasm but I can't help myself. It's probably best to assume I'm being sarcastic unless there's a frowny face.

Descriptions of pictures available but as 99.99% of people who look at my profile can see, I'll wait for requests.
I don't think it has much to do with ethnicity or religion. A keffiyeh would've been inflammatory & could've provoked violence.

That would've made the police's job difficult.

I doubt there were any beheaded babies but I wouldn't trust TRT on the issues in Israel any more than I'd trust Netanyahu.

There was a review of education years ago that found that private #education can't all be put in the same basket.

Schools that educate children of soldiers & widows get more money while elite schools get less.

It's not natural but proportionate to the population.

No, I'm not a soothsayer but doing the same thing again won't change anything.

I don't think they have different laws for the problems in the Israel. They track transfers now & it isn't stopping the terrorism.

Albo has suggested limiting the number of guns a person can own will help.

The ratio now (guns/person) is lower than then.

A big help in ending the troubles in Ireland was controlling international money flowing to both sides.

That action didn’t end the Jewish-Arab dispute then, so won’t now.

I think Ahmed's more likely to be awarded a bravery award such as the Cross of Valour or the Star of Courage.

That the Jewish group was from a weird sect of Judaism is an irrelevant factoid.

Lots of people have weird beliefs but that doesn't justify their murder.

The population of #Australia has grown from 18.3 million to over 26 million.

Number of guns is naturally going to rise.

It's irrelevant how the murderers got their ideas! The bullets were real & the murders were real.

It's a positive sign that the guy who stopped the gunman was called Ahmed al Ahmed so not everyone with a foreign name is evil.

I don't think it's likely either but before it invaded Ukraine, I'd have thought it ridiculous for Russia to invade anywhere.

History has taught us repeatedly that it's wise to be prepared.

The Salvation Army is a church that does a pretty good job of putting what Jesus said into practice.

They spend much more time helping than preaching.

Jeffrey Sachs wrote a column a few years ago suggesting that many of the problems in Darfur were caused by #climate change destroying previously fertile land.
