What is more likely, is that Netanyahu, who is afraid for his political future, because if he isn't in power he is likely to be convicted of numerous crimes, is constantly changing his stance.

In both times there was essentially a deal, it looks like the Israeli negotiators came to agreements, that were approved higher up, but then when conflicts arose in the administration (e.g. far-right coalition who are opposed to any deal whatsoever) Netanyahu changed his tune. There was only pushback on Biden's peace plan once it became apparent Hamas viewed the deal favorably.

The bottom line is Israel has no intention of making any deal.

Bibi is running out the clock until there is a result in November.  Book it.

Still not sure why playing a tough course under tough conditions is any more of a challenge or disadvantage for the best golfers than it is for golfers who aren't as good.

  a couple of years ago, Mrs rocket and I won our club"s couple's match play.  yesterday we missed the cut.  I am not by any means comparing our stuff to women's us open, but golf- it's the way the cookie crumbles. 

   we had some horrendous holes but were still in contention until the par 3, 16th hole.  we each hit decent shots, but each in a sand trap.  mine, pin high, but fried egg into the embankment.  it almost bounced out of it's lie, and if it does, it rolls to bottom of the trap and I have a fairly routine sand shot.  it stayed and I had one foot in trap and one in sand, with ball at mid thigh level.

   I don't care who you are, the % of getting a decent shots off onto a tough green ain't good.  I fly the shot over the green, into some crazy thick rough getting ready for wsga state amateur in a few weeks, semi-behind a small Adams crab tree, 10 yards off the green.  3rd shot on but rolls down severely banked green and rolls just off leaving me with a 25 foot uphill putt on stimp 13 greens.  3 putt for a 6.  finish out 17 and 18 with net par on 2 of the tougher holes on the course.  yes, the last one, #18 ya'll watch people 4 putt...f'em, we 2 putt,  and miss the cut by 2 strokes. 

I've come closest I've ever come to holes in one multiple times on this hole on #16

being able to write about this, this morning has been very cathartic and therapeutic for me-thank you! 

   da game of golf can be cruel, but ya gotta move on eyn'a

    Too bad for the folks of USA.  It’s time for him to be held accountable for his crimes and his colossal failure this past 50 years.

3 Days Ago Joe Lunardi ESPN has Marquette as a #6 Seed playing #11 seed Missouri/Nebraska in Raleigh. With the winner playing the winner of # 3 Seed North Carolina versus #14 Seed Charleston in the East Newark Region

Sensational goal. Reminded me of a few I saw Lemieux score, which is high praise.

Nice to see a Canadian team have a shot at the Cup.

His speed and control in tight spaces is seriously ridiculous.  I don't think they have enough but maybe their goalie has figured things out.
