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

It would be interesting to see what the reaction would be if the Muslims declared jihad on Bolton and surroundings. In addition, lobbing the odd rocket at the area - indiscriminately, of course.

Bearing in mind the anti-Semitic sentiments expressed by BT last year “I hate Israel and all who sail in her” for Israel daring to respond to the October 2023 atrocities, would support for the Muslims be quite so blinkered?

Hypothetical but I wonder………

Trump may yet decide to nuke Bolton...

In the cossetted world of neutrality and Swiss chocolate I would suppose it is hard to imagine being killed by sniper fire whilst standing in a queue to feed your family.

I used to abhor anti-Semitism, now I'm not so sure.

Us, the good old USA and most of Europe have echoed Israel's own assertion that it has a right to defend itself. I'm minded to ask how on earth is blowing Gaza to bits, bombing Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Iran "defending itself".

How can the civilian deaths by starvation or military actions of more than 55000 Palestinians be justified as defending the terrorist State of Israel?

The Iron Dome fallacy is just that too.

Don't you worry yourself about niceties like the above mon ami, I don't, and neither does Israel, there's a war going on don't you know.

As has been demonstrated your sources of information are questionable as pro - Palestinian propaganda to make them out to be the victim. As sinkov has posted on several occasions, Hamas could have released the hostages but chose not to.

With respect I doubt that you know what it is like to be shot at - unless Bolton is far worse than I imagined.

Having read your posts, there can be no doubt that you are a racist, anti - Semite so have the courage of your convictions, certainly since last year.

I am sure that you will not like such labels as socialist minded people typically regard labelling people as “racist” and “far-right” as their sole preserve. However, the truth will out, as the saying goes.

With best wishes from sunny Switzerland - hopefully the chocolate won’t all melt!

IDF snipers targeting children is way beyond my imagination. If you think that is nothing other than reprehensible then shame on you.

How mentally sick or ill are people who support this policy of starvation..?

I agree BT. Starving the people is reprehensible. Israel is channelling aid through the GHD. The problem is getting to the truth.

The Intercept is an American left wing publication that enjoys a disreputable reputation from independent reviews. Rather like The Guardian, I suspect that they have an agenda and then find stories (real or made up) to fit their agenda.

I prefer the Balfour Project for more balanced reporting on what is actually happening. An old school friend of k-c and me is a trustee, having been a diplomat in Jerusalem for many years.

I can recommend their articles - they do not have an agenda other than peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

Do your mates agree that the Jews have slaughtered upwards of 55,000 Palestinian civilians in cold blood?

I'm still waiting to see a photo of an emaciated Pally corpse who has clearly starved to death. As I'm still waiting to see footage of the IDF shooting at starving Pallys queuing for food. If you're looking for evidence of mental sickness mon ami, look in the mirror.
