Stray thought
Saw an old Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? quiz show, filmed around 2010. The team consisted of former TV newsreader Angela Rippon [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Rippon] and the Jewish consumer finance specialist, Martin Lewis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Lewis_(financial_journalist)]. Both were fairly ignorant (but won quite a large sum for their chosen charities) and both were also extremely irritating. If anything, Angela Rippon was even more irritating than the other one.
At least I knew who they were. The “celebrities” on such shows are often persons entirely unknown to me.

[“Eli Cohen Israeli Energy Minister: We have no intention of leaving Lebanon under any circumstances
- We have no intention of fully occupying Lebanon, but we seek to impose security control over the entire Gaza Strip.
- Israel will ultimately gain full control over the entire Gaza Strip, and this is considered part of the regime’s security objectives.
- The issue of withdrawing from the Lebanese security zone is currently not on the agenda of the Israeli regime
- Even if Donald Trump requests a withdrawal from this area, Israel will not agree to such a request, and Tel Aviv’s response will be “no.”]
The Middle East, indeed the world, has a poisonous snake in it. Crush that snake.
When will American leaders wake up? I suppose, only when the bribes are no longer being made…
