I heard they play backgammon there Too much fun for Islam. Backgammon involves a dice,therefore it's a game of chance and gambling. It goes against Muhammads wisdom. Funny that, all the time I witnessed it being played "The Historical Significance of Persian Backgammon Origins of Backgammon in Ancient Iran Backgammon’s history can be traced back over 5,000 years to ancient Iran, making it one of the oldest known board games. The earliest evidence of backgammon was discovered in Shahr-e Sukhteh, an ancient city in Iran, where archaeologists uncovered a board game with similarities to modern backgammon. This discovery highlights the deep cultural roots of the game in Iranian history. Throughout the centuries, backgammon evolved in Iran, especially during the Sassanid era, where it gained popularity among the nobility and became a symbol of strategy and intellect." Which is probably why you don't play it, I guess?

All very well you going on about the good old days,but that's history. Care to list its human rights record?

I think that these raids by Israel could be seen as pest control, they cant kill all the terrorists but they can keep the numbers down.

But that was ok then because the corrupt and fascist Shah (installed into power in 1952 by us and the CIA) spent billions on weaponry from us and the USA. Some of which was used to kill 1000's when the people of Iran rose up against him. But that's ok, right?

Albeit tragically, today,right now,it's a disgusting, subhuman, Islamic s**thole,is'nt it. Perhaps those in charge need to read another book and perhaps play more backgammon .

Window dressing, we need more from Isreal in terms of defence and security relations than they from us. Agree on the window dressing. Not convinced on the rest There's certain Isreali equipment we source, either directly or via Isreali companies. Also intelligence sharing.

UK defends partial Israel arms ban as Netanyahu calls it 'shameful'..by Emily Atkinsonichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/1024/cpsprodpb/fa80/live/f527f430-69b8-11ef-b970-9f202720b57a.jpgUK Defence Secretary John Healey tells the BBC the suspension of 30 out of 350 arms export licences to Israel "won't have a material impact" on the country's security He defends the timing of the move, saying it was "agonising" to hear six Israeli hostages had died in Gaza but adds the announcement - which came on the same day as their funerals - was driven by a "legal process" Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu calls it "shameful" and says "Britain’s misguided decision will only embolden Hamas" Former national security adviser Lord Peter Ricketts says the suspension is "long overdue" but it won't change Israeli PM Netanyahu's mind on the war The US is the biggest arms supplier to Israel and UK arms sales amount to 1% of the country’s defence imports

Yep, but if the Palestinians stopped planning atrocities it would solve a huge amount of the problems. The violence tonight in the West Bank wouldn't have happened if the Palestinians were not planning something. The violence in Gaza would not have happened if the Palestinians had not attacked on Oct 7th........can't you see the common theme? How far back do we go though, to truly identify the core, real, casual factor? Well, how far back would you go? The Jews could ( and probably do ) go back to the 2nd Century, when they themselves were forcibly expelled from this land that now causes so much contention. But I`ll throw a date into the mix. 2005. The year that Israeli settlers were dragged kicking and screaming out of Gaza, by Israeli soldiers acting on the orders of the Israeli government. The settlements were gone, the occupying soldiers were gone, it could have been the start of a new chapter for the people of Gaza. Was this an end to all of their grievances? Of course it wasn`t; I`m well aware of the limitations and restrictions that Israel still enforced on Gaza, nonetheless, wouldn`t most people agree that it was a step in the right direction? And how DID the Gazans react to these developments? The last Israeli soldier to leave, was promptly followed by the first Palestinian rocket fired into Israel. Thousands have followed. I think 2005 was the year that the people of Israel came to realise that no matter what concessions they made to the Palestinians, the Palestinians would still want to kill them all.

I understand your logic (I think) But it's not logical. The Israelis kicking out the illegal settlers in 2005 did nothing to address the issues caused by the debacle, the tragedy, of 1948. Given what happened then it is more understandable the reactions of the Palestinians (not to be confused with sympathy for murder). No, in more modern history,1948 is the key date
