Purim is probably the most meaningful of religious days, we get to remember the will of the Jewish spirit against adversity. 

It is fitting that Purim serves to remind us to be stronger than ever as the global community does what it can to pull us apart.   When we face an ideology of extermination it is our obligation to resist.

we remember the courage of our people that ensured we are alive today, and we will honour that with c'huva and Simcha.

Am Yisrael C'hai

Something really psychotic about looking at a genocide and talking about how it fills you with religious pride.

Russia & China block the US's UNSC motion calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Palestine. It wasn't unexpected, but it's confusing to see where the international community goes from here. Russia and China had previously made calls for ceasefires - but if they're not going to agree with the US when the US finally is calling for one... how do they get consensus now?

The US just doing US things.

They have no real motivation to stop Nazi Israel and their genocide.

A lot of big players missing for Brazil. Still have Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Raphinha in attack but their midfield and defence should be dominated by us. Far from their strongest line up.

What's people's thoughts on the whole manager/player relationship discussion currently happening?

Willie Kirk suspended by Leicester for allegedly having a relationship with a player.

Emma Hayes going a bit further and saying teammates being in a relationship is inappropriate. She then backtracked on that.

I can see the potential dangers of manager/player relationships but at the same time I'm not sure if people should be punished when there hasn't been any of those dangers taking place.

Tony throwing around a lot of money and things not getting better.

Teaming Okada up with the Young Bucks is a face palm move and Sasha Banks just looks stupid now with her new look.

Is peace the ideal, yes we have been saying that all along, the barrier for peace remains Hamas and they can only be uprooted.  This is difficult but I believe we have minimised collateral better than expected given the nature of Gaza.  If Israel wanted to massacre the civilian population they would have done it with consummate ease, no operations conducted over Ramadan. Along with food aid getting in.

The objective is uprooting and destroying Hamas, that is not a would be nice but an absolute necessity, to much damage has been done to their infrastructure and personel fighting capacity to back out, the silent voices of Gaza are now turning on them and that is how you break ideology, nobody wants this again.

The IDF is deadly efficient at finding and eliminating militants, a video was released by Rudy Rochman on drone surveillance and how Hamas know they are watched and use children as shields, the footage shows large residential and school districts that are undamaged due to high collateral.  1 Hamas per 1.4 civilians is not what anyone wants but it is pretty efficient ground operation that is reaching its end.  There are people that want to stop us getting absolute liberation, likely due to being in Iran's pocket and needing to pander to a certain demographic.  A victory for Israel is liberation for palastine only then can real meaningful change happen.

Change can only happen when there is understanding of our history and even if that history is not good it can lead to commonality 

How fucking brainwashed can a man be?

This idea that Israel only have love and peace in mind or that they care about limiting death and suffering for the innocent doesn't match up with reality.

Netanyahu & the IDF have always loved killing and mistreating innocent Palestinians. They'll cry about hostages now, only as an excuse to kill. Obviously won't mention the hundreds of people, including kids, they've grabbed and kept for years without trial. Something which they've done for decades.

What Nazi Israel really want is complete takeover of land and for every Palestinian to accept the boot on their neck.

Set to be freed on €1m bail. Crazy decision.

While acknowledging the praise for "Saltburn," it's essential to dissect both its strengths and weaknesses. A rating of 7.5/10 suggests a commendable film, but perhaps not without its flaws. The notion of being overhyped implies lofty expectations that may not have been fully met, leading to a degree of disappointment among viewers. Additionally, describing it as "unnecessarily weird" suggests that certain elements of the film may have felt contrived or out of place within the narrative.

Well done comprehension computer.

In the difficult half of the draw smh.

How many times have Luton come away with nothing after getting themselves in a good position? Not a one off.

Israel decide to hit an aid centre. Scum of the earth.

Fairplay to Porto. Made it difficult for us to really get going in both legs. Impressive performances from players I didn't know much about. Wendell, Varela, João Mario, & Otavio look like solid young players that will only get better. And the bastard himself, Pepe, was great in both legs. The other Pepe looked decent as well.

Great goal from us to level the tie. And while the whole tie was even, the shootout really went our way thanks to good penalties from us but especially thanks to Raya saving 2.

On to the next round!

Great result for us.

Deserved win which would've been much easier if Ramsdale didn't mess up. Not playing seems to have fucked him in the head. Should've gotten a penalty near the end as well which the officials denied. Either way, three points and top of the league for now.

Falling like a stone.

Saltburn - Good film but slightly overhyped and at times unnecessarily weird. 7.5/10

Defensively we've been solid all season. Saliba gets a lot of credit but I think Gabriel might be playing better than him this season.

Shame that non top-six clubs seem to suffer more than top six clubs when it comes to this kind of thing.

They can try and break the top 6 but they get punished. Who do they end up selling their best player(s) to? Top 6 clubs. How are they ever meant to compete? The rules are skewed so much that it'll become impossible for a non-top six club to ever have sustained success any more.

The main issue is that the loss limit is outdated. £105m in 2015 is not the same as £105m right now in football. Transfer fees for players went up significantly in that time. Diaby on his own cost Aston Villa over £50m.
