Politics Thread for David Reid. (R.I.P.)

[The Bedlington Terrier]

The UK's principal knob jockey Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron said Israel must act to stop attacks on convoys carrying v-i-t-a-l aid to Gaza.

The former prime minister said he would raise his concerns with Benjamin Netanyahu’s government following reports Israeli protesters blocked aid trucks, threw food packages onto the road and ripped open bags of grain.

The aid lorries were targeted at the Tarqumiya checkpoint in the West Bank as they came from Jordan on Monday.

"UN seemingly halves estimate of Gazan women, children killed."

"The United Nations seemingly halved the estimated number of women and children killed in Gaza, according to UN data published on May 6 and 8. This comes after months of accusations from leading statisticians that the numbers produced by the Gazan authorities cannot possibly be accurate."

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy released a report in January that showed major discrepancies in the fatality reports. The research concluded that such discrepancies were most likely caused by manipulation. Professor Abraham Wyner also told Tablet Magazine that the rate of deaths was unnatural and climbed far too regularly. He concluded that in war, the pattern of deaths should be irregular as the intensity of war is irregular. the UN reported that the number of deaths climbed by 15%, which is statistically impossible."

Oh no, has someone been feeding pork pies to the gullible ? Surely not.

One death is too many, the U.N. human rights office and the Humanitarian Research Lab at the Yale School of Public Health have also said during the conflict that the true figures are likely higher than those published.

It's estimated 10,000 bodies are still under the rubble and no-one is now mentioning the whereabouts of the Israeli hostages. Buried under the IDF created rubble mountains perhaps?

I can't imagine that the hostages are still alive though it may suit Hammas to give the impression that they still are though I suspect the IDF know one way or another. The death of the hostages will be a drop in the ocean compared to the overall deaths in this conflict, they were just a catalyst, unintentional or otherwise.

It really was a cataclysmic error that October 7th attack on Israel by Hamas wasn't it ? And still they say they'd do it again. You really do have to feel sorry for the ordinary citizens of Gaza, used as pawns by Islamist lunatics in their futile efforts to wipe every Jew off the face of the earth.

And then of course there are the friendly neighbours who are stopping aid convoys getting through, causing mass starvation and death to over 1,000,000 people the b@stards have displaced from their own homes and land. Hitler could not manage to to wipe every Jew off the face of the earth, it's hardly likely a few thousand freedom fighters will manage it.

"Large crowds turned out to pay tribute at the funeral of a British aid worker killed in Gaza.

James Kirby, 47, was one of seven World Central Kitchen workers killed in the Israeli attack on April 1. He was part of a security team travelling with aid workers who had delivered more than 100 tonnes of food when IDF air strikes hit the convoy."

B@stards.

Would there have been Aid Convoys if the terrorist scum hadn't launched their murderous, hostage taking, barbaric attack on innocent Israeli citizens, women, young girls, children and babies on October 7th ? Of course there wouldn't, like I said it was a cataclysmic error on the part of the terrorist scum, for which thousands have paid with their lives, and no doubt there are more lives still to be lost.

I said in the immediate aftermath the reprisals would be disproportionate but murdering 35,000 civilians is a bit of a stretch even for Israeli supporters like you mon ami.

I Stand with Palestine.

Self defence is not murder, nor is it genocide. The terrorist scum are a threat to every Israeli citizen, it is the responsibility and duty of the Israeli government and the IDF to eliminate that threat. Simples.
