I didn't hear the statement from DeSantis but I'm guessing he's just making a bad example. But, we have to keep in mind DeSantis is an idiot. Also, given the over reaction by Israel, no one should be condoning their acts now. Killing innocent Palestinians in retaliation should be condemned in the strongest terms. People need to grow some kahones and tell Israel they're wrong for what they have done to innocent Palestinians. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Small point on the article title. It should be "Petty allegations" not "petty allegations". I'm guessing no one proofreads here. Lol.

The PM should have an investigation here. Historically they all on paper do these but don't really do much to look for something but do it for the optics. It appears that the PM isn't even concerned about the optics.

I doubt the IMF is looking at this on a granular level. It's concerning that there is such a discrepancy in the numbers on the deficit. That needs to be explained by the government. To be fair, no government has done a good job in managing the country's books. The truth of the matter is the government needs to reduce the size of the public service. No government has the testicular fortitude to make this call. One important note, any ideas to be implemented needs to be what make sense within out context. The IMF can give suggestions, however it's a bit dangerous yo implement wholesale any ideas they suggest as there could be specifics on the ground that they can not fully appreciate and you run the risk of creating issues locally. We have brilliant minds locally that can help the government improve, but they have to.lsiten and put aside egos and personal.agendas.

The Commissioner may be right in hos assessment here but I think it's inappropriate for him to make such commentary in the media regarding an open investigation. Seems grossly unprofessional.

Mr. Moultrie makes a good point. Nut, the point is too narrow. All members should be honorable. There should be checks into all of them. Don't grab the waste time with the side orders, go after the entrees.

It's a little strange that he wouldn't have a savings account. I suspect he does have one or a checking account but perhaps he doesn't want to disclose for whatever reason, either low balance or an overdraft checking account. It's a bit difficult to do business as a professional and not have a bank account. On the COI candidate, that guy is a joke. He should be doing comedy, not taken seriously politically. It's true we need fresh blood in politics. But, we don't need an opportunistic idiot either.

If i understood you, you are referring to a World War II. I would hardly compare the Isreali-Palestinian conflict a war in that context. You have a state, Israel, fighting in retaliation for the act of a group (not a state). The group isn't acting on behalf of all Palestinians, but Israel is attacking all Palestinians. If you're at war and you're firing at am enemy target (soldiers, tanks, etc) and accidentally you killed civilians, that's an unfortunate accident. When you attack knowing that your are attacking civilians, that's a totally different story. Every time innocent people are intentionally killed in a conflict, it should be treated as a war crime. Brushstroking mass murder as something that we should expect because it's qbwar is very callous. If it were you or your family in these numbers, would you see it the same way?

A target attack against Hamas only. The Israelis have done these on numerous occasions.

If your neighbour commits a crime, should you be punished? Should the whole neighborhood? The Palestinians have suffered for a long time. Electing a government that isn't good Should not condemn you. Palestinian blood isnequal to Israeli blood. Remember the words of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". The world should not accept the slaughter of innocent people. Everyone condemned Hamas for.what happened on October 7th, which was correct. But people are afraid to condemn Israel for their disproportionate response.

An interesting article! The second situation, Israeli-Palestinian, a lot of people will take this purely from an Israeli perspective. If we look to the current context only we get a bit of a sense of the problem. The attack on Israeli citizens was horrible. However, one group isn't a representation of all Palestinian people. All Palestinians are suffering for the acts of one group. The Israeli response isn't in purportion to what happened on their side. The world should stand up and condemn them for their actions.

Beyond the current conflict, you have to ask, what is fair? If you arrive in an area and say the land is yours because God said so, is it right for people who have lived there for centuries to be displaced? Should they be treated like dogs? We have to realize every person on this earth has the right to be treated as human. No one has the right to treat anyone otherwise. These games of backing those that are with us and turning a blind eye needs to stop.

The God of the Israelis, of the Palestinians, of all of us that believe in a supreme being encourages us to be good people. So, it's interesting that what transpires is not according to God's will.
