Re: Israel declares state of war
The sad fact is 30k people would still be alive, buldings and families would be intact if Hamas had not decided to cross the border into Israel and slaughter people. Well apart from those that would have been killed in the normal cycle? Magpie and his ilk don't really like it to be drawn to their a...

Re: Israel declares state of war
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GFepq-NWsAAepHY?format=jpg&name=medium UNRWA funding has fallen from $1.17 billion to just $254 million. I fully get why they have put UNWRA on hold but I hope they transfer the money to other aid organisations, UN included. There are still a lot of people in the world t...

Re: France vs Ireland Official 2024 6N Match Thread
We have lost three games in nearly three years, only one by more than a score and all away from home. It would be a huge shock to lose to any of Scotland, Wales or Italy at home. Of course we'll respect each side but that's the main reason we're also very unlikely to lose to them as Farrell will ha...
