Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

Didn't they check their pagers telling them to get out ?

That atrocity I mentioned was in Gaza not Lebanon.

The Jews once again showing total contempt for human life.

It's hard to believe the Holocaust was less than 85 years ago.

So what is the West supposed to do?

There are 9.6 million people in Israel. Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas are intent not just on taking land but exterminating the Jewish people who live there.

None of the enemies of Israel will come to the negotiating table.

Is everyone supposed to sit back and let 9.6 million people be slaughtered?

I know that some on here would support, but not all of us hate Israel or the people who live there.

Lets hope the week ahead is has good as the last for Israel

Result. This means fewer Muslims who are intent on death and destruction

[kritichris]

Fewer muslims or fewer israelis isnt going to solve anything, only talking will do that as Northern ire;and has shown.

There is no talking. Muslims believe that spot of ground is part of the Dar Al-Islam by divine right and by conquest. The Israelis, at least those with their heads screwed on right, believe it is the Land Of Zion, also by divine providence and by reconquest.

The Jews have bombed & broken Gaza, it is now inhabitable.

The Palestinians have no air force to combat the IDF who bomb at will.

It looks like the new Jewish "strategy" is to bomb southern Lebanon & Beirut into bits.

The Lebanese have only 9 combat capable airplanes and it's pretty obvious the IDF will once again bomb at will virtually unopposed.

Netanyahu has decapitated Hamas in Gaza, the scale of destruction needed to get rid of Hezbollah embedded in Lebanon will be biblical. May Allah have mercy on the souls of the tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians who are about to die.

The Church of England no longer prevaricates: "In unusually forthright language, they say: “There has been a drastic acceleration and intensification of settlement construction, land confiscation and home demolition in the West Bank, exacerbating longstanding patterns of oppression, violence and discrimination against Palestinians.

“There has always been a close relationship between successive Israeli governments and the settler movement, but there now seems to be little distinction between settler violence and state violence.”

The bishops demand the Israeli government “stop acting as if it is uniquely above the law”.

They say the call by the UN general assembly last week for Israel to end its unlawful presence in the occupied Palestinian territories “can’t be another false dawn”. The UN must “move beyond strong words and agree a robust set of measures to ensure Israel’s compliance” with international law."

About time too!

You're getting desperate mon ami when you have to call on Church of England bishops and the United Nations for help in your propaganda war. No sensible person takes a blind bit of notice of either of them.

That's the trouble mon ami Israel bullies its neighbours to death, robs the land while all the while the bully's bestie presides over them with the Seventh Fleet, squadrons of F-17s and billions of dollars worth of weapons supplied with the sole intent to annihilate the Arabs.

Putin must have no tangible assets to protect or reasons to intervene in this genocidal madness.

My God BT ,you're like one of Sinky's horses that run with blinkers on. You can only see what's in front of you and not the whole picture.

The whole picture is much too horrific for mere mortals like us to even imagine Alfie.

Genocide is being unleashed on the Middle-East Arab population with the blessings of the "greatest nation on earth".

Words fail me.

I think BT should run with blinkers on Alfie, they might keep the crocodile tears out of his eyes.

Anyone who is happy with what is going on in Palestine mon ami is a very sick individual to my mind.

Don't think anybody is happy BT,but come on they have brought it on themselves.

Photos published this morning Alfie of the biggest Gazan hospital blown to bits, three Gazan schools blown to bits, Netanyahu claims Hamas operatives were located within.

I'm not a big believer in the Tooth Fairy either.

Women and kids slaughtered in their thousands and "they brought it on themselves"?
