@omid9 @Stottiemike I think The Two Ronnies specialist subject was "The bleeding obvious" Anyway, thank you for all your efforts in this awful struggle and always good to bring a bit of humour into the darkness!

@mcdermottkc_ @LloydsBank I am 5 months into a pension transfer from Embark to another provider. They have failed with every one of their self imposed deadlines and their customer service team refuse to do anything. They are dreadful.

@graceblakeley @zeteouk Of course you are. What a shambles. Apologists for terror..

[Daniel Finestein @danielfinestein]

@joshxhowie No!!! This is disgusting. It really is capitulation. Wow!

@NicholasLissack Spot on!

@IsabelOakeshott @AllisonPearson And in Israel just now!

@ArchRose90 @leekern13 Little dog whistle from the little mayor…”events abroad”...very subtly saying that he sees the link and blames Trump and Israel.

[Daniel Finestein @danielfinestein]

@bassem_youssef9 What an evil post from an evil man who supports evil. Disgusting.

[Daniel Finestein @danielfinestein]

@HilzFuld @BBC also missing a tiny detail!

[Daniel Finestein @danielfinestein]

@MarkSeddon1962 You don't say what is incorrect. Looking at your other posts I see why. You can't. You just don't like Israel. I don't blame you. Anyone whose career was UN and Al Jazeera is unlikely to be a big fan of Jews.

[Daniel Finestein @danielfinestein]

@afneil And @maitlis linking the @BBC scandal to the ownership of the @JewishChron as if there is something sinister and right wing involved...They are severely and dangerously deluded.

[Daniel Finestein @danielfinestein]

@JohnSimpsonNews Moderate!!?? Tell that to the families of his victims! You should know better. Disgraceful. But then you are @BBCNews through and through.

@AmitSegal Hopefully on Airforce One!

@stephenpollard @JewishChron Stephen, your column is 100% correct. It's a great shame that so few journalists will publish the truth. It was all choreographed between Washington and Jerusalem. As usual, people will look for the story that paints Israel and the USA in the worst light.

[Daniel Finestein @danielfinestein]

@MatthewStadlen @DPJHodges No Matthew. You are wrong. If Israel had stopped, Hamas would have regrouped and done 7/10 again. That's what Hamas said and you are asking Israel to have taken a huge risk that you would never want the UK to do.

[Daniel Finestein @danielfinestein]

@afneil He called his son Jihad. I think that's the giveaway!

@patkarney take a look at the UN's own figures.. https://t.co/P1JWLd1Qfq

[Daniel Finestein @danielfinestein]

@patkarney Pat, 100% of the aid supplied by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been delivered. The UN/UNRWA/Hamas aid effort has managed 18% with the vast majority being stolen by Hamas and sold. This could all stop if Hamas release all the hostages and put down their arms.

The prospect of opening an embassy in Ramallah is, of course, all very exciting for Paris. So as a local, let me suggest some potential locations for France’s embassy in Ramallah.

If Macron wants his ambassador to be near the Palestinian Authority headquarters, he can put Paris’ embassy on Yahya Ayyash street. Also known as “The Engineer,” Ayyash was the brain behind Hamas’ wave of suicide bombings in the 1990s. By the time Israel eliminated him in 1996, his work had left some 100 Israeli civilians dead and 400 wounded.

Not what France is looking for? Sure. If Macron doesn’t want to be in the heart of the Palestinian capital, he could put the embassy in Al-Bireh, a one mile walk from the Ramallah grave of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Al-Bireh also has its own landmarks, such as Dalal Mughrabi Square.

Born in Lebanon, Mughrabi rose to fame in 1978 after hijacking an Israeli civilian bus and carrying out a massacre that left 38 Israelis dead, including 13 children. Known as the Coastal Road Massacre, it was the deadliest terror attack in Israel’s history until October 7.

But perhaps the French President doesn’t want his embassy next to a square named after a terrorist. That’s quite understandable. Maybe placing it next to a school is more appropriate? In that case, Paris’ ambassador can set up shop next to Amin al-Husseini Elementary School in Al-Bireh, named after Haj Amin al-Husseini.

Jerusalem’s Grand Mufti during the British Mandate, al-Husseini moved to Berlin in November 1941, and met with Adolf Hitler three weeks later. As part of his alliance with the Nazis, al-Husseini, amongst other things, recruited Muslim men to fight in the German Waffen-SS.

Truth be told, wherever France decides to plant its flag, it won’t be far from a shrine to someone who thought Jewish blood was cheap. The only question is whether Macron cares to notice.

@solly_mark My favourite line was the one about @GaryLineker being able to spend more time on podcasts and Palestinian propaganda. Anyway, look on the bright side, you've made a lovely new friend. @BigMarvAgg seems charming.
