The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

A post on the Political Asylum board suggests alternatives to the US MSM sources. Acknowledging that most media is biased to reflect specific interests, it does open ones eyes to the perspectives of others. Right or wrong, those perspectives exist and will not evaporate just because another nation or perspective wishes it would cease.

This one is obviously pro-pal/anti-zionist, yet it still makes some valid points.

dawn.com - Why trumps gaza plan will fail

Ejaz Haider Published October 12, 2025
The plan cements Zionist occupation, institutionalises apartheid and legitimises genocide under the guise of diplomacy.

......let’s establish a simple fact: this is not a peace plan. In fact, it’s not even a plan. At best, it can be described as a framework or certain guidelines. Its first and foremost objective is to achieve a ceasefire.

That cannot be faulted in and of itself, given the devastation in Gaza and the ongoing genocide in the Strip. But it’s important to flag this point to temper expectations about what can be achieved through these 20 points.

Far from promising lasting peace, US President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza not only ignores the structural causes of the conflict in Palestine, it cements Zionist occupation, erases Palestinian sovereignty, institutionalises apartheid and legitimises genocide under the guise of diplomacy

The second fact is that this document does not address any of the structural, political, social, legal, economic and security issues for the Palestinians in Gaza or the OPTs, issues that have remained unaddressed since the colonial British Mandate.


Like it or not, it doesn't feel like it's over.
