Former US president Bill Clinton and his wife, two-time democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton responded to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's win in the Israeli elections while on their speaking tour throughout the US and Canada. "You should never underestimate him. He's highly intelligent," Bill Clinton said. "When we see Israeli elections, we say, 'How does this shake out for the peace process?' There's lots of minority parties in Israel, and more of them aligned with the settler movement or religious fundamentalism than secularism or wanting peace." This comes a few weeks after a new batch of classified and sensitive emails from Hillary Clinton's personal email were dug up, some of which discussed establishing a "private, 100% off-the-record" channel with Netanyahu. Another email, coming from one of her aides, warned Clinton that she was at risk of being "savaged by Jewish organiations, in the Jewish press an...

You know nothing Kit Harington, absolutely nothing about what the fans want. They want a bearded Kit and you shaved it off.  The Game of Thrones actor has left fans devastated after he debuted a new fresh-faced appearance after shaving off his signature facial hair. Harington showed off his new look on several US TV shows, including Saturday Night Live, where he told viewers: “I’ve just shaved my beard so this is more of a pre-pubescent Jon Snow.  “This is Jon Snow if he suddenly played for the Yankees.” Fans were in shock with some deeming it a “visual attack” while another described it as a “sin”. One fan tweeted: “I’m suing SNL for having Kit Harington shave his beard. This is an utter travesty.” Another wrote: “Kit Harrington without his beard is a visual attack and I don't care for it one bit.” “If Jon Snow can resurrect from dead, I’m sure his beard can too,” said a third more hopeful fan. Thoughts on Kit Harington’s no beard debut on  #SNL ? Ok...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won Tuesday's election. Although his Likud Party and Benny Gantz's Blue and White Party each won 35 seats, Netanyahu is the one who will be able to form a governing coalition able to withstand a bribery indictment by Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit, according to the results after 98% of the votes have been counted. On February 28,  Mandelblit indicted Netanyahu  pending a hearing. Details of the indictment that were not permitted to be released during the election could be leaked as early as Wednesday. The hearing is expected to take place in July and the decision on the final indictment some six months later.

Likud won 35 seats, Shas and UTJ eight each and URP and Yisrael Beyte...

© Provided by Perform Media Channels Limited Rugby Australia has labelled superstar Israel Folau's Instagram post that said "hell awaits" for homosexuals as "unacceptable." The statement from the organisation comes just hours after the Wallabies and Waratahs star took to social media with more homophobic messaging. Folau again sparked significant reaction when he shared an image on Instagram on Wednesday evening along with the caption: "Those that are living in Sin will end up in Hell unless you repent. Jesus Christ loves you and is giving you time to turn away from your sin and come to him." RA moved quickly to acknowledge the growing backlash to the posts, distancing themselves from the message. "Rugby Australia is aware of a post made by Israel Folau on his Instagram account this afternoon," the statement read. "The content within the post is unacceptable. It does not represent the values of the sport and is disrespectful ...
