Israel talk to avoid the political
A public lecture this evening will provide a crash course on Israel, the Arab world - and how the Isle of Man fits in to it all.
Academic and renowned expert on the region John Levy is giving the talk, organised by the newly-formed group IOM Friends of Israel.
It's centred around the area's 'diversity, wealth and technological significance' - with the nation's controversial politics, it's emphasised, taking a back seat.
All are welcome to the event, which is taking place at the Elim Church, Onchan, from 7.30pm.
Mr Levy says there's plenty up for discussion:
Thresholds for first time buyers schemes need addressing, says commissioner
'Specialist training' for teachers delivering Sex Ed classes
Lack of resources impacting charities registering with AG
Ramsey Community Hub to install new bench made out of felled cherry tree
Average time to answer 999 call remains at 1.5 seconds in March
Community service for Onchan man who was found asleep at wheel
