Hard to imagine a peace deal that doesn't end with Russian control over most of its captured Ukrainian territory.

The perverse thing is that UNRWA only exists because Zionists refused to allow the main body that deals with refugees, the UNHCR, from dealing with Palestinians.

This statement contains some inaccuracies regarding the history and purpose of UNRWA. Here are the key facts:

UNRWA was established in 1949, predating the UNHCR which was created in 1950[1][2]. It was not created because of Zionist refusal, but rather in response to the displacement of Palestinians following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War[2].

UNRWA's mandate is specifically focused on providing humanitarian assistance and services to Palestinian refugees, while UNHCR handles all other refugee populations globally[1][2]. This separation was not due to Zionist influence, but rather emerged from the unique historical circumstances surrounding the Palestinian refugee situation.

The continuation of UNRWA is supported by many parties, including Arab states and Palestinians, who see it as an assurance of their refugee status and right of return[4]. However, UNRWA has faced criticism for potentially perpetuating the conflict and refugee status across generations[2].

It's important to note that the situation is complex, with various stakeholders having different perspectives on UNRWA's role and effectiveness in addressing the Palestinian refugee issue[1][2][4].

Mm, GTA III's protagonist was basically on a conveyor belt going wherever the last person to talk to him sent him.

It's a shame they didn't clue into the regional variants sooner. I love all the different Meowths. Would have been cool if each new game was remixes of existing pokemon.

Instead of the increasingly humanoid and spikey looking digimon they've been coming up with.

Depressing that the UK clearly still wants a conservative government, they've just, after 14 years, finally realized the Tories are incompetent perverts.
