It's funny how they are always so concerned with trigger words and changing definitions to suit their agenda of the day.
So Gaza started out as a refuge camp, where Palestinians were pushed into a small, densely populated area. And now, those people have been forced into an even smaller, even more crowded area of refugee camps. Too bad there's not a well-known term for concentrating people into camps...

[MENTION=3169]Anti Federalist[/MENTION] Can you enlighten me on why ships from one country, in this case Turkey, would apply for a flag from another (Guinea Bissau) to sail? Can't they just register in Turkey?
Because it's cheaper.
Years ago, before they blew themselves apart, Liberia was the shipping "flag" capital of the world. More ships were registered in Monrovia as their home port, than any other place, because it was a tax and regulatory haven.
Today, the UN controls all shipping, and they have removed most of the benefits of a "flag of convenience"
But it is still a common practice used by ship owners and shipping companies to try and eke out some savings.
