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:
DHSC minister 'absolutely committed' to reopening Ramsey hospital
Casualty rescued from Polish tall ship
Manx residents asked to complete Census from tonight
Grounded Ramsey tall ship could be refloated next month
Strong field of Manx competitors to take on London Marathon
