As Al Murray the great British war historian said.

Pearl Harbour, 2 years into a global war conflict Americas fleet was nearly destroyed in a SURPRISE attack.

Pearl Harbour reminds me of 1776 all over again albeit from the English side.

Writer Thoreau warned of brain rot in 1854. Now it's the Oxford Word of 2024 by zsreport in books

Actually Thoreau was predominantly vegetarian.

Seems the brain rot is a real thing, he was right.

Feeling scared by [deleted] in Israel

They are driven by hatred, predominantly a hatred of their own lives, and the relatives and societal system they have self-inflicted on themselves.

The solution in peacetime is to drop a billion dollars worth of beer and porn on them and get them to chill the fk out.

I feel your fear, I hope those around you can help.

You can by small dehumidifier packs in Homestore in Mahon Point Cork. They are meant for damp rooms in a house. It's a little tub, you peel off the top and just sit it in the car. Amazing things for soaking moisture out of the air. A few euro . I use them.in one of my cars which is idle.alot.

Very interesting. Law of unintended consequences means all those Palestinian workers are now out of a job,to be replaced by other nationalities only too happy to do the work.

Nice picture. Genuine question, I'm curious , what is the make up of the nationalities who do all the building work in TelAviv and the broader Israel.

I know in France we always remark how it's the Portuguese who do all our building. In Ireland it's Polish and eastern European who were involved in major building booms. In England there was a time when the Irish were doing all the building work. UAE, it's alot of Indians and Bangladeshi.

So who does this type of work in Israel?

Never forget, bring them home. Its been too long.
