Really worried about a cousin who came to visit us 2 weeks ago. She left Sydney last Monday evening and is now stuck in
Dubai. Her plane was being pushed out on to the runway when the piolet was told to go back. They have now been put
up at a hotel and she emailed me to say they could hear bombs going off in the distance. They have been stuck in the
hotel now for 9 hours. She s so scared.

Exactly.

I still think the original story was probablythe correct one. When I said "it takes time," I meant time to write a new, fake story and create pictures.

Who knows for sure? I do know that when Israel is involved reporters are not always safe to write honestly.

"The Gaza war is the deadliest conflict for journalists in history, with the United Nations reporting 242 Palestinian journalists killed by Israel between Oct 7, 2023, and August 11, 2025. In 2023, nearly 75% of journalists killed worldwide were Palestinians in Gaza."

Gallop just polled Americans on who they sympathize with Israel or the Palestinians. For the first time ever that the majority of Americans now sympathize with the Palestinians!! 41% to 39%. :)

Just shows how people can be swayed by an endless stream of left wing propaganda, terrorist lies and plain old BS.

Many of those Palestinian "journalists" were also active members of Hamas.

Sorry, I have no sympathy for the Palestinians. They could have renounced terror and made huge progress years ago. They chose the course of barbarity and ignorance.
 
Iran claims to have struck British oil tankers with missiles leaving them 'burning' as the regime continues to seek revenge for the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said they hit three British and American ships in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz on Sunday - as footage showed a tanker dramatically bursting into flames.

The IRGC said: 'In continuation of attacks on hostile enemy maritime targets, three violating tankers from the United States and Britain in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz were hit by missiles and are burning'.
Iran has told ships not to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which carries around 20 per cent of the world's oil and gas, although a number of Iranian and Chinese vessels have continued to pass through it today.

The halting of shipping in the strait has seen markets brace for a surge in global oil prices.

Motorists in the UK were warned of potential ‘record prices at the pumps’ while economists predicted fragile economies could be pushed ‘closer to recession in a matter of weeks’.

The threat of Iranian reprisal attacks saw at least 150 tankers drop anchor as shipping companies refused to sail through the 100-mile passage which is just 24 miles wide.
Mr King told The Times the ‘turmoil and bombing’ in the Middle East ‘will inevitably lead to price hikes.

He said: ‘Drivers beware, within the next 10 to 12 days we could be seeing record prices at the pumps.’

Ali Vaez, director of the Iran project at the International Crisis Group, said yesterday: ‘Closure of the Strait of Hormuz would disrupt roughly a fifth of globally traded oil overnight – and prices wouldn’t just spike, they would gap violently upward on fear alone.
‘The shock would reverberate far beyond energy markets, tightening financial conditions, fuelling inflation, and pushing fragile economies closer to recession in a matter of weeks.’

Oil markets are due to open at 1am tomorrow morning after the price of Brent crude oil had already risen to US$73 (£54) on Friday, its highest level since last July.

Trading was closed over the weekend but there were reports of over-the-counter trading between private buyers at $80 (£59) per barrel.

Susannah Streeter, Chief investment Strategist at Wealth Club, said the halting of supplies on the 'vital' Strait could cause a 'shock' for financial markets 'just as inflation appeared to be coming under control in countries like the US and the UK'.

She said: 'Financial markets are set for another shock of volatility following fresh strikes in Iran.

'Oil prices had already been creeping up as nerves became more frayed and they are set to shoot sharply higher given the risks of disruption to global oil supplies.'

That number would be zero if they'd stop attacking Israel.

I see. You think it's okay to kill journalists because Palestinians attacked Israel. Maybe you think the law only applies to your enemies and not to the side you like.

Targeting journalists is a violation of international humanitarian law (IHL) and constitutes a war crime.

Only five year-olds think, "He started it," is an excuse for their own bad behavior.
 
I'm very concerned about this now. We didn't join in , with the attack on Iran.... but now they've attacked our ships.... and even tho' we didn't join in the initial attacks ... we'll suffer because of the oncoming oil crises, and fuel rices including electricity and gas will go through the roof.. as it is, we can barely afford them now...

However.. what's more of a concern , is that Brits, are stoical.. if you don't annoy us we won't bother you... attack us when we've done nothing to you.. then we're not responsible for your future suffering..

So you're saying we shouldn't have retaliated against Germany and Japan in WWII. Okay. :rolleyes:

Here come higher gas prices! And along with that, higher shipping costs, which will basically cause all prices to rise.

We've already had much higher fuel and food prices every now and then.
I don't see a problem if this vile government is coming to an end forever. After this it will normalize again.
