Speaking of apologies... how about the NBA apologizing for a tweet by the rockets GM supporting the protests in Hong Kong.

Up until 1997, when the British turned HK back over to China... they were a free people. Now they are very oppressed by China.

I've been to HK many times. 11, IIRC... and it was a nice place to visit until the turnover.

Unless Golda Meir is Prime Minister and the 500 were not invited..... That lady did NOT play games or apologize. Having Mossad on your side means never having to say I'm sorry!

Lol that confused the heck out of me for a sec... I was thinking what do the Iraqi's have to do with Israel. Had to look it up. Shin Bet is a name I've heard before but, when I thought about it for a sec, I wondered why don't you hear more about them? You always hear scary stories of Mossad..... as I thought that it hit me. PR is an amazing tool isn't it? Of course they want horror stories of Mossad out there! Great PR! Shin Bet on the other hand.... especially with the enemy living inside your country..... Thanks for the reply. Now I know what I want to read about next!

The Israelis are not to be trifled with. I had the great fortune of spending some time there in the late 70's early 80's. Fantastic people, a great country, and their military is finest kind. The Navy guys we worked with were serious cats. Their coastal and harbor patrols were definitely not scenic cruises.

You haven't lived until you walk into a bar and there are rifle racks right inside the door like coat racks. 🍺

Their soldiers aren't hard to look at either. Great times.
