I couldn't eat 3 packets of noodles anyway,

The other day that pride flag didn't last long,

Actually, this is not new. Already when the first Jews came to Palestine, Palestinians worked as tenants on Arab owned manors. They had no rights, there was no Arab solidarity at all. So, when Jews started their collective farms (kibbutz) and factories but lacked enough working force among themselves, they invited Palestinians to come and work together with them for a high salary. Many Palestinians accepted this offer. But that meant that the Arab manor owners could no longer suppress them. In order to stop this escape, they paid professional trouble makers to create riots. It did not last long, so more Palestinians left from the Arab manors to Jewish enterprises, and the Arab nobility created a new riot, but still they failed. After the independence Israel gave its Palestinian citizens equal rights with Jews including voting rights, own schools and other institutions and cultural autonomy. Palestinian leaders were never interested in creating their own state. When Yasser Arafat finally made an agreement with Israel it was rejected by Arab fanatics like Hamas and Hezbollah, and Fatah (led by Yasser Arafat) lost the elections. Every time since every proposal has been rejected, and most Palestinians now live as parasites (so-called refugees) in Europe and elsewhere. They are not interested in building up their own state. And every time that they have started a new war they have lost. Today the situation is, that most Arab states turn their back on Palestinians and make agreements with Israel. As most Palestinians inside Israel see the advantages by living in Israel and not in Palestinian lead areas, and people from those areas, especially the West Bank, work in Israel every day, the trend is, that they will increasingly prefer to unite with Israel rather than live under an violent regime. Thus Israel will just grow until the entire West Bank is officially part of the country. Those, who hate Israel and Jews too much, will move to Gaza and live in misery and poverty for generations to come. But Palestinians will never get another chance to get "their own state". The last offer came from Donald Trump, and it was a favorable one, but that too was rejected. Now the train has finally left, and there will never come a new one.

the law student who had said she was against Israel says that she doesn't want to be Palestinian. i would have liked to heard more from her on that apparent contradiction.

Iran has executed two gay men who were convicted on charges of sodomy and spent six years on death row, a rights group reported. Homosexuality is illegal in Iran, which is considered one of the most repressive places in the world for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Last July, two other men were executed on the same charges in Maragheh, the group said. It added that last year, Iran executed 299 people, including four convicted of crimes committed as children. Also in 2021, Iran sentenced 85 people to death.

Where is the link to that story?

Brings back memories from years gone bye how people wore it with pride, one of my earliest memories was in the Army Cadets we had a drum and bugle band come remembrance day we had a parade, fall in outside the TA center and march about 2 miles down the main road to the cenotaph, you could hear us coming for miles, proud of being in the cadets pay our respects then on to the parish church it would be packed out with all the scouts and cubs, girl guides. Locals many war vet's, After the service we would march back to the TA center and play the drums all the way back, there would be no stopping us

All goes down the same road, eventually

Probably both,
