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

but what has always amazed me is the lack of support the Palestinians get from the Arab States, I suppose they are just all scared to death of the Star Wars military capability of US backed Israel.

I think, especially in the case of Jordan and Egypt, they long ago came to the conclusion that hosting Pallys is far, far, far more trouble than it's worth.

The Jordanians learned their lesson from the Palestinian rebellion against the monarchy known as Black September (1970). The Lebanese learned their lesson during their Civil War when the PLO took sides and got their butts handed to them. Then the PLO headquarters relocated to Tunisia, allowing the Tunisians to learn their lesson too. The Egyptians figured it out long ago, which explains their refusal to open their border with Gaza.

30.08.24. "An Israeli missile has hit a convoy carrying medical supplies and fuel to an Emirati hospital in the Gaza Strip, an aid group has said.

Several people have been killed in the strike the American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera) group said on Friday."

B@stards!

Not so mon ami, the IDF took out a hijacking Hamas jeep at the head of the convoy, the convoy itself was not touched and reached it's intended destination safely.

And you claim the "Loony Left" are gullible?

And what's more, no Anera employees were harmed in the carrying out of this operation. Incidentally, it was Anera themselves who reported that the convoy reached it's destination safely.

"The losers are the millions of people who believe the government exists to protect us from foreign enemies and criminals, not to prohibit ideas, words or images that might offend. The winners? That unholy alliance of Islamists and leftists who want to use the state to impose their dogmas on everyone else." -- Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Free speech died some time ago in this country, all Starmer is doing is screwing down the coffin lid.

Couldn't agree more, sinkov, so many people are scared to say what they think because they may offend someone and, like BT, have the bizzies knocking on their door.

I am no longer certain what Starmer's political objective, I believe he is just a different version of David Cameron.
