Gaza hospital attack, not Good - Warns by former French Diplomat

  INTERVIEW  - The deadly shooting on the grounds of a hospital in Gaza, whatever the origin of the attack, “deals a decisive blow to the image of the Hebrew State”, points out Denis Bauchard, former ambassador to Jordan. The deadly strike on a Gazan hospital  on the evening of October 17 sparked strong condemnation abroad.  While Israel and Islamic Jihad blame each other for the shooting, several European and Israeli intelligence sources point to the certainly responsibility of an Islamist group.  “  Based on the information we have had so far, it appears that (the strike) was the result of an out-of-control rocket fired by a terrorist group in Gaza  ,” agreed Joe Biden, visiting Tel -Aviv, who supports the Israeli version. The toll of the strike is also contested: while Hamas puts forward 471 dead, it would rather be "  a few dozen, probably between 10 and 50  ", according to a senior European intelligence official, cited by AFP under cover of anonymity.  Despite this denia

Holidays: Drink or drive you will always have to choose!

  After a sluggish 2020, many of us will be celebrating the end of this year. If the holidays will be well watered one imagines, beware of excesses. A quick reminder of the rules on limitations and sanctions. What the Highway Traffic Act says about the blood alcohol limit: When a person is young (probationary licence), the rate of drinking and driving is limited to 0.2g/litre of blood or 0.10 milligrams per litre of exhaled air.

The various confinements resulted in several cancellations of driver's licence examinations for an average of 5 months. Many people have lost those days to pass or retake their driver's license.
