@arnoldroth @BBCWorld Hello Arnold, thanks for pointing this out, the story has been amended.

@RaffiBerg @BBCWorld:
You write today [bbc.com/news/world-mid…] that my child's killer was "born in the occupied West Bank". No. She's a Jordanian, born in Jordan, indicted in Washington and harbored by Jordan in breach of the 1995 extradition treaty. Can you please fix?

Absolutely brilliant telling by @spyscape of one of the greatest feats in #Israel's history, in the words of those involved. Vividly brings to life my book Red Sea #Spies: The True Story of the #Mossad's Fake Diving Resort @_MaxBower @iconbooks bitly.ws/zrSF

@LBC @daniel_barnett This made me laugh. Love DB's sense of humour and he's that rare breed of presenter who knows what he's going on about. Not everyone's going to like everything but blunt is good sometimes and come on, it's not personal.

So a few of you may know but I’ve got a book coming out early next year. It’s a thriller set in Scotland. And here are a few cover suggestions - which one would you go for and why? Any comments welcome. #martinbook

"סגנונו של הספר קולח והוא מהווה סיכום ראוי של מאורע היסטורי, שעליו אפשר לומר כי מעטות הדוגמאות בתולדות מדינת ישראל." תודה @yossi_melman על הביקורת נהדרת! haaretz.co.il/literature/stu…

@LiamapBarnes @secondmentions Really kind! It was a fun story with so many fascinating tidbits!
English

Fantastic feature by @raffiberg, with a load of good trivia and bonkers mythology. Also a nice reference to Uri Geller as "a self-described mystifier" worthy of @secondmentions. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

@johnmbradford Thank you, John. Good point! I did a check and while you are technically right (meaning you are right!) it seems its usage in the singular is acceptable too. Also Save A Child's Heart does treat Palestinians from Gaza/W Bank, also kids from across MENA.
English

@raffiberg "criterion".
"criteria is a plural word (but I liked your article about Uri Geller's Scottish Island)
Can you please ask Uri if his Israeli charity treats Palestinian children?

@NW6GoodBadUgly Any idea what that was about? Kicked off in front of me as I was riding home. Sudden explosion of violence - punching, kicking, clobbering each other with metal posts; tables and chairs hurled into the road! Looked like about 20 involved in mass brawl.
English

Really pleased my book is now available in Israel in Hebrew! Bringing this exciting #Mossad story home!
שמח מאד על הפרסום של הספר שלי גם בעברית! מביא את הסיפור המרגש של המוסד הביתה! bit.ly/3iUGbJn
