But would you be operating in 1947 with advanced knowledge of what was to come ? Hypothetical thought games are great fun, but solve nothing; do you ignore the Balfour Declaration, what do you do with thousands upon thousands of displaced Jews in post-Holocaust Europe. ? What if, in 1919, the British had granted Prince Faisal the Kingdom they promised for his support in fighting the Ottomans ? We are where we are, and somebody, somehow, has to knit a solution out of the current fog of hatred and violence.

You cannot undo 1947, so what you have to do is somehow persuade both sides to compromise. Israel within the pre 6 day war borders, Jerusalem as an "open"' city - Holy for all 3 Abrahamic faiths, and International recognition and guarantee of Palestine within the West Bank, might be an option, but then agsin I might be a Martian.

It was a rhetorical post aimed at the repeated jibe "Do you believe in the formation of Israel ?". Israel cannot exist without the displacement of Palestinians, whether it be the within the 1947, 1967, or 1974 borders, so where do the Palestinians go, and are they justified in feeling aggrieved ? The fact of the matter is that 2 opposing groups of people want control of the same bit of land, and use religion as their justification for whatever actions they deem necessary.

Do you agree that Palestinians have the right to self-determination on land they can call their own ?

What if you had asked them before Oct 7th and the subsequent levelling of Gaza ?

But in Europe and the USA they are not in Government, in Israel they are the Government.

Some of the coalition parties in Netanyahu's government are vehemently anti-arab, oppose any form of 2 State solution, are against gay rights, mysogynistic, want the Government and Law to more closely follow the religious texts, and are often described as "facist'.

If the Israelis withdrew completely from the West Bank, I suspect most of them probably would be.

If we do go up he would need a completely different tactical approach, which he will stubbornly resist in favour of trying for the perfect 1000 pass game, ( half of them back to Baz ), and can you imagine Manning playing in the. Premiere League ? If we don't go up we are likely to have a weaker squad next season, and given the glaringly obvious frailties of his philosophy will have more "Sunderland away" and "Millwall home" performances.. Mid table at best. He has achieved nothing as a manager, this is by far his best league season, with the best squad he has ever managed, yet has barely broken into the top 3. His team selections continue to baffle, as do his substitutions, and God only knows what his motivational speech was before the Blackburn game. I think SR will persist with him purely because their track record of appointments has been so poor so far. ( Please let there be 'legs' in the Brighton rumours ).

That's how it starts.

From the BBC coverage; "The inquiry has moved onto questions from Ed Henry KC, a lawyer for a group of sub-postmasters. Henry refers to an e-mail chain that shows that, as early as July 2013, the Post Office was drafting a letter to its insurers to notify them of potential issues with Horizon. The chain shows one of the Post Office's lawyers expressing a concern that, "from a PR perspective, it would look bad if this got into the public domain".'"

It is all well and good RM saying the players aren't doing this and that but he is stood watching on the sidelines shouting instructions and giving tactical advice during breaks in play, at half time, and when subs are made. Are the players not listening to him or don't they understand what he is saying ?
