I think there’s plenty of room for peace though. I think the Muslim block is terrible and Israel is right not to bend to their will, but fire + fire doesn’t = peace. The Israelis could do a lot to improve their global position, such as getting rid of that criminal Netanyahu. The police/army could also try diplomacy with the Palestinians (not Hamas, the Palestinians). The problem is that neither side wants to make concessions, and concessions have to be made for peace to exist.  

Yes there is plenty of room for peace, there are some problems with in the country but there is always attempts to solve them the situation with the Palestinian is complicated as there are tons of differences between the west bank areas and the Gaza strip. about the world position problem it has a lot about one sided and even false media coverage and interest groups . promise you that visiting here will surly make you see that most of bad thing written is wrong and that the BDS movement by their action cause thousands of Palestinians to lose their jobs so yeah come and see for yourself (after the COVID 19 ofc..) meanwhile corey gil shuster have some videos that shows the real nature of our tiny area:yes

Again I disagree here, it was very much needed to establish a goverment no one wants 4th elections therefe Gantz made the mature descion and has basically secure his position starting in 2021 Netanyahu will go to court and the descion about him will get from the judges it was very much needed to get a working goverment the only F' up thing here is the timing, since it's the Holocaust memorial evenig tomorrow will be the day itself which i got to be honest it's a Hard and emotional day here and it's got to get the respect it deserves

Yep. This is probably the best explanation of why most people in my generation either swing hard left, hard right, or have a total lack of belief in any form of public services/offices/etc.

For many of them, the coronavirus pandemic is the latest in what has felt like an endless list of American crises.

 

Yeah there they go, thinking the world revolves around them and them only (as far as there is a 'they' when it's about these age-based samples they call 'generations').

Yeah, at this rate, Gen Z appears even more self-centered than the millenials. Who knew that could be possible. :p

 

And what's with this Z? What comes next? What are media and generation-thinking people going to call the people born a year later? Gen AA, followed by AB and those born this year are roughly called Gen AP or something? :p

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
