Thread: Travel during Covid "Someone did test positive the next day at the **** and they and their family were were picked up by ambulance and transported to a previous army barracks in ****. "
One example I know of, a place people have been kept is at Harrison's point in Barbados...just an example of how different countries deal with this;
What happens if you're on vacation or a cruise...well if you had the unfortunate positive result then....nationnews.com/2020/11/13/cru…
I know in other countries similar types of instances...someone tests positive...then they are told to wait for the authorities and are transported to a facility...not usually one they would choose...
This is the kind of "roll of the dice" while traveling and there is often lack of clarity about one's choices or rights...or even what comes next...a short vacation could become weeks in some facility. And that's before health care costs etc.

Israel’s Jerusalem arena has been turned into a center for vaccination, Maccabi and Calalit are giving out the vaccine to people over 60 and others; relatively efficient and masses being vaccinated everyday. Image
If you're interested in how it works, from what I saw it seemed that the over 60 people were permitted in...on one side Maccabi was very crowded, Clalit seemed very efficient. Those under 60 were kept on a separate line while they had various reasons they wanted too.
Sometimes the under 60 group was let in as a trickle at the end of the day so as not to waste excess opened vaccines. I've heard in some towns in the south like Arad, Dimona this was an issue, with hundreds left over.

But remember...we were told to support Turkey against poor Armenia because it is “against Russia and Iran”....lies we were told by Ankara’s DC lobbying arm about “Turkey is against Russia and Iran, a bulwark...blah blah...”....yeah Ankara and Moscow and Tehran work together
When someone says “support a bullying wealthy powerful thuggish dictatorship to crush a small poor minority as part of geopolitics” the only answer is always “no”. No, I will never support a thuggish authoritarian regime against the poor and weak as a means
Imagine the confusion that some sided with horrid dictatorships against a more democratic and free Armenia....all in the ridiculous propaganda name of “being against Iran/Russia”....it was all lies and nonsense to excuse ethnic cleansing of the poor and vulnerable

Thread: The Jeffrey and Rayburn doctrine in action...?

The US had partners in Syria. They did a huge job defeating ISIS, sacrificed many. US officials, working against US CENTCOM and the SDF...backed Turkey and extremists, enabling an attack on the SDF. Russia swooped in.
Now the SDF have to go to Russia to stop Ankara's extremists from attacking...and this was all part of a quiet plan to break the SDF-CENTCOM success and force the SDF to go to Russians so the pro-Ankara lobby could say "see they are pro-Russia"
They weren't working with Russia before. But the US withdrew, enabled a brutal invasion...and purposely enabled Russia to move in as a buffer...this insanity...all of design from the US State Dept...created this ridiculous situation. The US could have helped its partners.

Ankara isn't so much a regime as just a giant prison. No evidence of any wrongdoing, but Ankara competes with Tehran to be the greatest persecutor of people for just thinking differently than the regime; english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle…
The lobbyists for the regime claim these poor people being imprisoned for decades are an "existential" threat to Turkey. There is an existential threat and it is the threat the regime poses to freedoms and minorities and dissidents.
They prosecute children for "insulting" the dear leader...it's like Stalinism. thedailystar.net/world/news/hun…

"The camps in north-east Syria constitute a long-term security risk," the Finnish foreign ministry added....maybe if these countries had prevented this privileged citizens from joining ISIS and traveling to attack Syria, Iraq, then that would have stopped the "security risk"
You have to be shocked by the chutzpah of these folk who didn't do much to stop radicalization of their citizens...didn't stop them to genocide indigenoius people in MidEast; didn't even charge them...but claim if they are detained in a camp it is a "security risk"
How is it that globe-trotting ISIS extremists are not a security risk somehow between 2013-2018...then they get captured and detained and become one? I agree though...EU should take back its citizens...but they need to apologize for letting them be radicalized and travel too

We took a trip from Jerusalem to Israel’s south, here are a few photos and notes along the way; we began at Ein Fescha, a national park which we had to reserve a time ahead of time due to Covid restrictions ImageImage
Then we went to Ein Gedi’s Nahal David which we had to reserve a time ahead of time due to Covid restrictions ImageImageImageImage
Then we went to Kfar HaNokdim, a sprawling desert camp near Arad where they only had an area for tents due to minimizing number of guest due to Covid-19 ImageImageImageImage
