1967: Six Day War. Israel invades a variety of areas that it borders

You've made a pretty good summary, but I have one quibble: Egypt, Syria and Jordan were planning to attack Israel. Israel launched pre-emptive strikes.

Ok, I believe and understand what you say, but then that makes the AP story a little stranger. If no foreign, independent reporters are allowed into Gaza, then how does the AP know that Abed Bardini "...unloaded the stretcher with practiced professionalism, squinting into the late afternoon sun..."

He doesn't have $270 billion dollars. He has $270 billion dollars worth of assets.

You are mistaking the Catholic practice of Lent (not eating meat on Friday) with the Jewish Kosher practice of not mixing dairy with meat (possible cross contamination?).

Very common. Almost every home built in the past 50 years would have one. Not sure about apartments.

IIRC, the only problem with asbestos is when you tear up/demolish a building. Injested asbestos particles cause the health problems. If the building doesn't suffer any damage, the asbestos remains inert and doesn't cause any harm.

I myself asked "What time of year was the lower photograph taken?" Then I realized I was being dumb, because if either photo was taken in winter time, we would see at least some ice in the water, if not a very large ice sheet.

Thanks Broseph. I totally agree with your response. I was doing my best to provide a proper analogy to db0's question: "If Russians did the same to Americans, you’d be all “fair play, mate”?"
