    It's a bit like last week's pathetic attempt by the tw@tterati to organise a boycott of Yorkshire Tea because a Tory had been seen drinking it. What the Guardian reading sad**** lefties didn't seem to take into account was just who would suffer if it had an adverse effect on the sales of Yorkshire Tea. P45s for the ordinary working people employed by Yorkshire Tea, ordinary hard working people with mortgages to pay, children to clothe and feed, leccy and gas bills dropping through their letter boxes. But do they care, do they think, do they have brains ?

    And you wonder why I have such contempt for the Left BT ?

    ''I meant all round Balan. When does this hatred stop?''

    Jibril Rajoub, a senior Fatah leader , was recently admitted for medical treatment to Ichilov hospital. Symbolic of the relationship between Israel and the representatives of the PLO, the terrorist organisation that has worked tirelessly to destroy Israel for more than half a century.
    Rajoub, is not the first senior PLO leader to receive treatment in an Israeli hospital. In 2017, secretary general of the PLO, Saeb Erekat,(a serious lung disease at the time, received medical treatment in Israel). Senior Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, who has never sought to conceal Hamas’s explicit goal of eradicating Israel — “[Peace] initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions.

    The Hamas Charter’s art. 13, “There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad” – has had an astounding number of family members admitted to Israeli hospitals, including his daughter, his nephew (the treatment was granted at the same time as Haniyeh was praising a shooting attack in Tel Aviv that killed four Israelis), his granddaughter and his mother-in-law. Other senior Hamas figures have also had their families treated in Israeli hospitals, among them Hamas senior official Moussa Abu Marzou, whose sister was treated for cancer.

    This policy is a result of the fact that Israel admits tens of thousands of Arabs from the PA and Gaza for medical treatment in Israel every year. In 2018, Israel reportedly granted 20,000 permits to Arabs living in the PA to enter Israel and receive treatment, 3000 more than in 2017. (The Israeli health coordinator also trains Arab doctors from the PA in Israel, helping to improve their capacity to treat patients in the PA).

    When does this hatred stop?'' Someone has been telling 'porkies again!'

    Are you sure this idiocy is confined to people of a left wing political bias sinkov? Personally I prefer Tetley tea, but would have thought anyone watching this eejit Rushi Sunak supping their brew would have guaranteed an immediate drop in sales?

    Have they never read the philosophy of Adam Smith Balan? When people want it - they buy it - the less there is, the greater the demand!

    Yes BT, I'm fairly convinced that the regular confected storms of outrage on Tw@tter mainly originate from lefties, but like the Israeli boycott I do try to fight back in my own tiny way, besides Israeli dates, Yorkshire Tea will be on our supermarket shopping list from now on, we do drink it anyway, but I'll just ensure that we never try a different brand from now on. No doubt all futile, but it does make me feel a little bit better, putting up two insignificant fingers to the loony left.

    Might just be my overly simplistic take on things sinkov, but the more we trade with other countries, the greater the dialogue and greatly lessens the risk of war between two countries who are mutually dependent?

    Well, the system is capitalism, and certain people could stop the flow of a certain quantity,and as you say,or could continue with, the greater the demand and the price goes up,so a greater profit is made by the 'cunning wolves'!!!!

    I think you were in Labour, a labour man ,but now not,without a certain path way leading you (an ideology),where will you tread?

    The world is becoming polarised ,take a quick example ,the voting in Eurovision? The votes: Greek gives top votes to Cyprus,the Scandinavians share top votes between themselves, Turkey with Azerbaijan etc etc,and the Brits left out in the cold. That was part of Geo-sentiment. What about social sentiment? England is holding the Elgin Marbles,would Greece love to trade with Britain now?? What about Israel ,we can supply fruits of a very good quality,is then Britain willing to trade weapons?

    The underlying problem is sentiment, so many sentiments we are divided and sub-divided and unless we can create One sentiment we are still in first gear ,or almost! How to do it? That is the $64 k question. So then is 'Prout ' the answer?
