Making offensive and distasteful remarks against Christians and Tunisian soccer fans is nasty and unbefitting of a high-ranking Palestinian official.
Jibril Rajoub, chairman of the Palestinian Football Association and a top Fatah official who previously served as commander of the Palestinian Authority's (PA) notorious Preventive Security Force in the West Bank, made the offensive remarks during a recent interview with an Egyptian television station.
Jibril Rajoub, also known by his kunya Abu Rami has previously served 17 years, on and off, in Israeli prison, having been arrested multiple times until he was released in a 1985 prisoner exchange deal. After that, he was the head of the Preventive Security Force in the West Bank until being dismissed in 2002.
He has also spent around 17 years, on and off, in Israeli prison, having been arrested multiple times until he was released in a 1985 prisoner exchange deal. I can't fathom a Palestinian official who insults his Christian brethren and even appease the occupiers who locked you up for 17 years behind bars. This man's shame knows no boundaries.
Introduction
It’s not a sure thing that an already tenuous democracy in the US will survive over
the next few years from the onslaught of Trump’s abuses and misuses of
presidential power. Millions of people will suffer. At the same time, there is
opposition to him from large majorities of Democrats and Independents. And his
support from his base is less strong than in the recent past.
Unfortunately, he still has over three years in the White House or more likely at
Mar-a-Lago.
And he glories in the power. You may have also noticed that he typically doesn’t
acknowledge bad news about him or his administration. For the public, he says
there has never been a better president than he (https://www.livemint.com/news/us-
news/donald-trump-nobody-does-it-better-than-me-10-times-us-president-said-hes-
the-best-11741083334974.html). At the same time, journalists and doctors question
his mental acuity and stability.

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Thailand's U.S.-supplied F-16 warplanes and Swedish Gripen jets bombed at least three Cambodian casinos during the past week in a gamble Bangkok hopes will obliterate its enemy's alleged ability to fire armed drones from the border zone complexes and stockpile rockets, mortars, and other weapons.
The big white-walled casinos are easy targets in the green forests and brown scrubland because Cambodia has no effective military air force to defend them.
Cambodia has not fired its anti-aircraft weapons during the war which began in July, perhaps predicting a devastating response from militarily-mightier Thailand.
Cambodia's casinos are some of the biggest and strongest-built buildings along the frontier, constructed with millions of dollars from gamblers' and investors' money.
The well-equipped casino complexes could offer Cambodia's military formidable structures, but it was not possible to independently confirm their dual use.
US President Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' is reportedly set to be announced before the year's end. This news coincides with increasing reports that the US administration is serious about pushing forward the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire.
However, many critical questions remain unanswered. How can a governing council be superimposed on Gaza when Palestinians are unified in their rejection of any new form of Western mandate over their lives?

“Kill them all!”
You have a problem with that? What are you, some kind of unmanly wimp? Pete Hegseth spits in your face.
Let me catch my breath, calm myself, wipe my face. The cutting edge is raw. A hundred deaths, a thousand deaths, quickly turn into “collateral damage.” But the killing of two desperate men, clinging to the wreckage of their boat in the Caribbean – their boat that has just been bombed – rips open the abstraction of military public relations. They’re just ordinary human beings – like you, like me, like our parents and our children – rather than . . . uh, narco-terrorists. And suddenly this new war the Trump administration has launched is more than just a videogame. Hey, Pete, this is not keeping us safe!
