She threw a tantrum and moved out of her parents' home when they caught her smoking.

In 2021, Church bought Rhydoldog House, a mansion in the Elan Valley, near Rhaeadr, Powys, Wales,[72][73][74] as seen on Charlotte Church's Dream Build.[75][76][77][78]

In February 2022, Church was the subject of Kate Garraway's Life Stories, revealing that she had made a decision to quit music in 2002. She explained that her mother caught her smoking at home at 16, whereupon she moved out and "cut the ties" and set up home independently, rebelling against the "facade of the celebrity culture", as she wanted to experience normal teenage life. By 19, she had resumed her career.[79][50]

In 2023, Church put her home at Dinas Powys up for sale.[80]

It means corruption and terrorism.

As soon as the Palestinians reject Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups, they will actually make some progress.

Netanyahu may be an asshole.

But the current Palestinian "leadership" is so corrupt and violent nobody wants anything to do with them.
Not even Iran.

by an uncaring and dictatorial Hamas and formerly on the outside by an uncaring and dictatorial Netanyahu/Israeli government.

The Palestinian People don't have leadership, they only have guards.

I absolutely agree that Netanyahu is an asshole but my opinion of how low he has gone doesn't stop there, he has become a national/global security threat and *rump enabler.
