...all news sources are important; you judge for yourself.
Frankly, it is yialousa i count on for news, what between all the crap he's posted, he is likely to crack a story like this, as he has done for Syria in the past.
...talking of crap and assholes, put it on a binomial curve; i guess 70% of us at any given time fit that profile well: who would have the Grace to say that they were never assholes, or deliverers of crap? It is the world we live in, chaos, and yet reasoned; pick a side if you want to, there are thousands, yet only a couple or a few have a meaning that all will consider, foundational if you will, material on which to build on, in separating lies from Truth.

For many Gazans, it's another Christmas barred from Bethlehem

...again, the question remains, are you a "Jew" or a Jew, a "Turk" or a Turk, an "Arab" or an Arab, "Greek" or Greek, someone who defines their existence hating those not "them", or someone who respects the notion that "we" are no different; cursed with reason perhaps, creatures just the same, but one race, as these beings, called Humans, having bigger enemies than each other to fight.
Love is an infinite power. It would seem that those pious should be able to demonstrate their belief, in one, and the same, God, at least a few days a year, to "be" loving; lovingly, who has the courage to serve?

the war against Libya
https://www.cyprus-forum.com/cyprus47200.html
.
...for the record, i will include the moments i feel define the historical progress of events.
Libya has already been linked to the Cyprus Problem, like the Gas and Oil in the Eastern Med. (and the Aegean), by Turkey, and the so-called ''TRNC''.
...beyond this, there is the conflict as it is, in Libya, the UN with Turkey and Qatar, against the Russians, French, the Arabs, the US not involved, to sum it up, by the player's allies; (let's not forget Italy's involvement with Libya, France, Greece and Cyprus), Spain too has a Navy, and security interests. It is possible that this issue, Libya, may become a major topic soon.

...while it is possible for America, to take the position against Russia, it may be that, in Libya like in Cyprus, Americans and Russians find themselves holding the same position. As allies in these circumstances, a dialog may open that did not exist before, and that can be supported in a manner where Turkey's ambition may also find in it, reward, something beyond the Treaty of Lausanne, with the recognition that Cypriots exist, (so too the Alevi and Kurds in Turkey).
...it is clearer, what "Blue Turkey" means to Turkey's Erdogan, the Black Sea it seems is the final piece of the puzzle, (and the Bosporus). Russia is surely wary, what is their "pond" under threat; it is a fine balance Turkey is playing. Libya, like Syria, depends on Russia's (and American,) non aggression.

Greta Thunberg: 'miracle' climate saviour or puppet?
I will march with her tomorrow in Montreal. Like her or not, millions have already done the same. If Humanity has learned anything from its recent past, it is that there are real enemies to fight and to bring to bear, our Hate. It is not each other, Lest we Forget, but Hunger, Disease, and Ignorance.
Indeed it must be hard to choose only one representative a year, for Peace, to Honour with the Nobel Prize. I am rooting for Sevgul Uludag, myself, a journalist in Cyprus. But Ms. Greta certainly deserves the esteem and the recognition she has gained, the respect she is given.
She has awoken the whole world, to the possibility of a way of living with a conscience, in such a short time. Like Malala, she is a Hero to those who seek an evolution of our thinking, as one, Human, race. And I am hopeful, it is possible, this revolution that is called for, (witness the Occupy Movement) by these "children", because it may save us and this planet from plunder.
Action, not words are needed, if a Tribute is to be given to her. Let it be results that are easy, for her to see, elders she can follow, a greater joy, like oceans thriving, the air cleaner, and something more than simple exploitation when it comes to sustaining our lifestyles.

We should think of small pebbles when we remember the war
https://cyprus-mail.com/2018/11/11/we-should-think-of-small-pebbles-when-we-remember-the-war/
.
Lest we Forget. Real enemies exist. They are not each other. Those who gave their lives in this Great War, the war to end all wars, would say, that war, any war, like this is Nobility without Grace.
Hatred too can be lovingly directed, men and resources applied with such contempt. Heroes made, or at least exposed to the circumstances that make heroes when they are confronted with what seems to be insurmountable odds, there is Glory. What of Hunger, Ignorance, and Disease?

Cleaning the stable of Augeas

.
...it is always important to remember who they were, the killers, and the murdered and made to disappear. Easy enough, the murderers were "Greeks" and "Turks". But what of their victims, not "Them", Greek and Turkish? We who remain betray them if with the same intolerance we divide ourselves against each other; if Cypriots still exist. They are forgotten as such if we decide by ignoring them as Cypriots, that "Greekness" or/and "Turkishness" matter more.

Statement by the Greek Turkish Forum
http://cyprus-mail.com/2018/05/01/statement-by-the-greek-turkish-forum/
.
Indeed, the Flag of Cyprus, provocative to both the "Turks", and the "Greeks", as neither consider it more than a rag.
...let's remember those who died at the hands of these cowardly extremists, they were never busy killing each other, but those not like "them". Cypriots, for "being" Cypriots, were for the most part their victims. This is something to think about, what the Flag of Cyprus represents to those whose blood was spilled to erase its existence, what this Flag should represent to us, those of us remaining, Greek and Turkish, Cypriot, not "Greek", and not "Turkish".
