  Interesting statement! You know, if Germany or the US would allow jews to have their country, I’m sure even such big A-holes as Hamas would find nothing against it. Don’t think you spelt out their objections quite as precise as called for. Also, when has any colonial power ever allowed the indigenous their own country without either a fight or loss of interest? You expect the indigenous to welcome imposed colonials in? And whilst we’re on the subject of distorted thinking, how come these right-wing neo-aryans in the UK calling for Christian values don’t realise their racial heritage isn’t Christianity at all and that many of those they oppose were Christian way before them. Can something spread by missionaries and « imposed » on their forefathers at a certain point in history really be your natural heritage? Choosing to rallye around Christianity nationally is like claiming a curry or pizza as national dish. As for their American counterparts, well, they should be even more confused considering the multitude of origins.

  When I read stuff like that I say let Putin show you how it’s done, just for a minth or two so you think about things a bit more. Or just ask your grannie about WWII when another loonie decided to try and take over other people’s lands. The world was actually becoming a slightly better place before that sort started getting elected again. Now all our taxes have to flow back into arms again. Building stuff to destroy stuff so money can be made rebuilding. Maybe if the Europeans had made jews feel welcome after WWII NONE of this would ever have happened, Hamas would NEVER have existed. But I bet you some had hidden agendas, plenty in Europe were probably happy to be rid of them, the Swiss were happy to cling on the tve transferred fortunes, the Americans were happy to absorb the selected more profitable ones and the West got itself two for the price of one. A trojan horse for the middle east to do dirty work with very little risk.

  Agree with a lot except, 1. it wasn’t so much Israel as BN and his cronies (Israel, having at certain times depending on leaders and foreign interests) come close the the beginning of a deal with Palestinians. 2. many Palestinians would probably not support Hamas given choices but as Israel controls election possibilities and were happy to deny an alternative*… * though they are still financing and encouraging Palestinian factions to counter Hamas (in order to continue the « peace » process.

  Not only are they mostly right but apart from ASO, Giro and the UCI for championships, organisers don’t seem to get image rights either, or does anyone have contradictory information?

  And where is that money going/staying? Re-read the article with both sides of your brain on. Every football team in any pro league gets a portion of TV rights, probably similar in other pro team sports. Explain why that shouldn’t apply to cycling please.

  Nothing wrong with these changes but a discussion that might soon become necessary is the financing of races, even major ones. It can’t be that organisers end up struggling more and more whilst rider salaries skyrocket. There needs to be some better redistribution in cycling, maybe through a revamp of « image » rights. Something to add to the things discussed in the article titled: “Cycling is the only sport not benefiting from TV rights” – World Tour bosses warn model is becoming ‘impossible’ to sustain amid proposals to charge for roadside viewing«

  Maybe you should worry more about drones lurking around airports or nuclear power plants?

  I can also make my humble contribution to that narrative: Once upon a time in Palestine =========================== The lands were inhabited by its indigenous people. They used to herd their camels in the great plains of Palestine. Led by their majestic leader Khal Yasser Arafat. They were known as noble, peaceful, gentle people. With raven feathers in their hair, song in hearts and explosive belts around their waists. Then cloud gathered, sky darkened, storm came. The Zionists fell upon them. Twisted minds with curly noses. Suddenly across the seas they came. Cheated them, betrayed them, enslaved them. They even took over the production of Fizzy Bubblech. Burned, tortured. Committed around 10,000 genocides each month. The Palestinians sobbed and whined. Legends say that their tears have replenished the barren sea of Galilee. Wonder how this has never turned into a movie. Maybe "Dances with Jihadists" with aging Kevin Costner as the main actor. Maybe it has something to do with those Jews controlling Hollywood. Seriously, the Cornish have a better claim about Cornwall against the Saxons and Normans. Which gives me an idea; Maybe next time the Tour of Britain features Cornwall I'll be heading south. Organize riots and attacks against INEOS riders, just because they are riding for a British team (Only joking course, I'll come and raise the colours)

  Beware of angry Ukrainian terrorists.

  Hamas was a "creation" of Israel to be a bulwark against the PLO, but didn't consider the fact that virtually all Palestinians support them and voted for them in the 2006(7) elections. It took the bigotry of the Collective Waste (West) to consolidate the myth that Hamas are terrorists. The actual terrorists are the Israelis and their Occupying Armed Forces in Palestine.
