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

"God appeared to Abraham in Shechem, which today is a predominantly Muslim city called Nablus in Samaria, and declared, ?To your offspring I will give this land.? (Genesis 12:7)also ......The Kingdom of Judah was an Israelite kingdom of the Southern Levant during the Iron Age. Centered in the highlands to the west of the Dead Sea, the kingdom's capital was Jerusalem."

So God said so, seems fair enough to me, who am I to dispute his word. Israel's land it is then.

Do I believe in fairy stories? No, not really.

All I see are the enablers, the deniers, the facilitators and evil-doers carrying out ethnic cleansing and genocide against a defenceless civilian population in Gaza and the West Bank.

The murderers of Jesus Christ are now with the help of America's Christian right slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent Arabs in biblical fashion. Reports from the middle-east suggest B-52 bombers are dropping US manufactured and supplied pay-loads on to Gaza City. “Bomber Task Force missions demonstrate U.S. power projection capability, commitment to regional security, and ability to respond to any state or non-state actor seeking to broaden or escalate conflict in the CENTCOM region,” Army Gen. Michael “Erik” Kurilla, CENTCOM’s commander, said in a statement.

I wonder what God and Abraham would say to that.

I'm sure nobody's God would condone this evil...

That has given me good laugh BT. What do you think 90% of the stuff you post from here, there and everywhere really is? Surely you don't believe it all -----do you? In these days of technology it is much easier to manufacture propoganda than it ever was in WWII and everywhere you look on the internet there are lies, lies and more lies.

I very much regret Supersub that the days of any kind of reasoned argument are coming to an end. Indeed to voice some opinions is simply to invite a torrent of abuse. Nazi, racist and bigot are the least of it. Soon we will be much like America where you silence your opponent not with common sense but a gun.

True, however, at my age, I couldn't give a damn. Still live with the same maxim ---Waken up in the morning, be happy. The day that you don't waken up then it will not be your problem. Stay happy and keep your humour going, no matter who you may offend. I can assure you that it won't be me.

I've said it a million times before Sir Outwood, I'm overwhelmingly happy we have strict gun controls here. Can you possibly imagine the carnage the Farage & Robinson Gammon tribes equipped with AK47's would do?

I don?t go around hating people. Starmer is simply not up to the job. He made promises to the electorate he has failed to keep like so many before. This country faces really tough choices. Spending on welfare is out of control. Many Labour MPs want to remove the 2 child benefits cap. There are arguments for and against that but if it is removed welfare spending will inevitably go up again. Migration without adequate controls is simply unaffordable imo and wherever you are standing on the political spectrum it is becoming socially deeply corrosive. The likelihood is that Labour will look again to raise taxes to cover increased spending. I will say again clearly. I do not think Starmer can pull the country together because it is increasingly fragmenting. I would say British people are generally fair and tolerant but they feel their fairness is being abused and they are resentful.
