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:
Bird flu confirmed after wild buzzard found dead near Bride
Call for renewed focus on equality and accessibility in government
Isle of Man Freemasons to lay wreath ahead of Remembrance Day
MHK won't pursue removal of Bishop vote further if bill is rejected
