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

''A buffer zone from what??'' BT 's compass must be one rusty ancient model . Clue ! Gaza- (Buffer zone) - Israel

[Balan]

Simple 2nd clue : Gaza Strip Club. ...... Buffer Zone (Sand, part desert ) ........ Israel

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Israel departed from Gaza in 2005 and left it to the Pallys, some Israelis were forcibly ejected by the IDF. So there was your two state solution, the Pallys had their state and voted in Hamas to run it and here we are. Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Three fifths of the Palestinian population on the West Bank (see how well that one worked out) the rest stuck on the strip with no port and no airport. Even Jesus would struggle with a miracle for this one.

Incoming news: Trump has told Starmer to "sit this one out". Meaning keep your nose out of a suggested two state solution.

What makes me laugh is that no-one who proposes this idea has any idea where to place 7 million Palestinian Arabs.

If they don't do something soon the Jews will have butchered the problem. Final Solution and all that.

.... the rest stuck on the strip with no port and no airport. Even Jesus would struggle with a miracle for this one.....

The Port of Gaza is a small port near the Rimal district of Gaza City, Gaza.

It is the home port of Palestinian fishing-boats and the base of the Palestinian Naval Police, a branch of the Palestinian National Security Forces. Under the Oslo II Accord, the activities of the Palestinian Naval Police are restricted to 6 nautical miles from the coast. Since 2007, the Port of Gaza has been under an Israeli-imposed naval blockade as part of a blockade of the Gaza Strip, and activities at the port have been restricted to small-scale fishing.

Ah! The old colonial imperialist past jumps out of the Ribble Valley once again.

Let me put it this way then mon ami, your mate TwoTier says he's going to recognise a Palestinian State. What precisely will he be recognising ?

No idea mon ami and neither does Starmer. Trump wants to build a whole new holiday resort on the Strip and has told the eejit to keep his nose out.

He's absolutely no mate of mine.

He's a Lefty, you're all the same.

Come on sinkov. how can he be a mate of BT? He has decreed that Palestine Action is a terrorist organisation and that will have upset BT because he shares their views.
Any demonstrations in Bolton this weekend?

Good to see some of the terrorist supporters getting their skulls cracked yesterday, not before time. In fact this lot will keep coming back for more, drag them into the courts every Monday morning, fine them, rinse and repeat, our balance of payments problem will soon melt away.

The tougher Two Tier tries to look the weaker he appears. The country is starting to burn while he and his huge Westminster majority are sat paralysed. Protests everywhere but the people who really matter, ordinary families who are watching their communities being undermined by creeping criminality are branded far right at best and racist scum at worse. Wherever the actual far right do get involved the voice of ordinary people is drowned out because it is easier to make Tommy Ten Names the story. Only if you look at the opinion polls do you get some idea of what people are really thinking. We used to be a country where genuine asylum seekers could find a welcoming home but that is being destroyed.

Stopping peaceful protest is abhorrent, arresting people for attending any type of peaceful protest is anti-democratic.

Arresting anyone who is involved in violent protest is fine by me.

Starmer by his own admission is not a left-wing socialist, in fact he has decimated the Labour Part and does not have a cat in hell's chance of being re-elected whenever the next General Election is held.

The Tories have about the same chance.

What's a coalition government including Corbyn's new left-wing Socialist party, Reform UK and the Green party sound like?

Might be long odds but it could happen.

Everyone else will refuse to work with Reform. Same as no-one works with National Rally in France.

Sounds like the political equivalent of a pantomime horse, good for a laugh as it trips over it's own feet, but not much else.

British police over the weekend arrested 522 people for holding signs saying “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action” in response to their government banning the activist group as a terrorist organization. Nearly half of those arrested were over sixty years old.

When I was young and na?ve I believed terrorism was detonating a car bomb or crashing planes into skyscrapers. Now that I’m mature I'm supposed to believe that terrorism is an elderly woman sitting on the grass holding a sign saying people should be allowed to oppose genocide.

This is a society that has gone stark raving insane and Starmer and Cooper are driving it.
