I am going to use it again, because it fits here. I was in Jericho, Palestine (West Bank) when they hoisted their flag the first time over
their territory ( I mentioned this in the thread under ‘compunction”). And the feeling in the air was ebullient. One could feel it.
Not the same for Gaza, Luke, and the GOG’s have their own agenda. I don’t hold a brief for anyone, but when I do post something based on things that I know having lived in the ME since 1982, it gets taken down. Hardly freedom of agora.
