Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Nine of a doctor's 10 children have been killed in an Israeli missile strike on their home in Gaza, which also left her surviving son badly injured and her husband in a critical condition. Alaa Al Najjar, a paediatrician at Al Tahrir Clinic in the Nasser Medical Complex, was at work during the attack on her home, south of the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, on Friday. Graphic footage shared by the Hamas-run Palestinian Civil Defence shows the bodies of at least seven small children being pulled from the rubble.

Travel to US in free fall
https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/terrified-excop-jailed-and-deported-during-holiday-to-us/news-story/f48a5e5f7337df29dcd3679336bf6031 A case that many on the forum can likely relate to, Australians can visit the US on a ESTA (visa waiver) but that ceases once they marry a US citizen. There is a logic to that, and this former police officer tourist seems to have made a genuine error. Before some hardnut steps in and says she was just trying to sneak in, from the article: I think what's shocking is her treatment. Rather than being turned around at Passport control, and told to book a flight home, she is stripped, held in communicado with hardened criminals, presumably to teach her some sort of "lesson" about small print (Americans won't actually know what its like to fill in the online ESTA. The ESTA form doesn't actually ask if you are married to an American. The applicant is somehow supposed to know that foreign nationals who could apply for an immigrant visa are not allowed to apply for a non-immigrant waiver). We hear this repeatedly, the heavy handed nature of US officials. A colleague from Australia arrived in the UK to start a new job at a University, only the University messed up with the paperwork due to a bank holiday. Border Force was going to return the semi-comatose Aussie to Australia, but a few phonecalls generated a pragmatic approach; he was released into the car of an Oxford academic, and spent the next couple of weeks sunning himself in the garden, while the paperwork was worked out. In the UK, we'd say the officials "used their Loaf", to judge a situation. There seems to be lack of common sense, or common sense is not permitted because everything is target driven (compliant and frightened tourists making mistakes are easier to round up than hardcore gang bangers who might shoot back). Not always like that; a friend who is a consultant surgeon in the UK and Malaysian national, was going through the Indefinite Leave to Remain (he's married an English lady, has two great kids). He had been invited to KL as Best Man at a wedding. If you need to leave the UK during the ILR process, you are supposed to ask for permission, whicn is normally only given in exceptional circumstances (death of a parent etc). He thought, logically, no harm in asking. There was harm in asking, because he got a Deportation Order back, 10 days to settle his affairs. It got sorted out at great expense to him. Seemed to have been at least one good person in the system, according to the Australian woman. -

Did Biden Have a Body Double?
Yes. The character we have seen for the past six years is not Joseph Robinette Biden II. Go on Getty images and type number 1235181192 in the search. Mask visibly coming off at the ear. https://www.gettyimages.fr/detail/photo-d'actualité/president-joe-biden-attends-the-ceremony-at-the-photo-dactualité/1235181192- 1
