OT Israeli Flag removed from Town Hall

[great_fire]

It's Rotherham. Wouldn't be a surprise if one of the Councillors did it. Or a policeman.

Looks like a big miss information war going on here.
Explosion was in the hospital car park, a few windows broken and burnt out cars. 500 people killed, really?
It is sad that people are being killed and hurt in this latest senseless spat though between peoples whom it would seem impossible will ever to be able to live peacefully together.
Is the Israel flag still flying over Barnsley town hall.? Was flyighing high while the Rotherham and Sheffield ones were being brought down.

500 people dead after missile hits Gaza hospital. Absolute disgusting crime against humanity and someone needs to be held account.

Iran threatening action and who can blame them? How on earth does the USA defend Israel and navigate politically through this?

looking like you should have engaged your brain before opening your mouth. Heliosphan the gift that keeps on giving.

Listened to this, driving to work this morning.

The BBC were so quick to believe the lies from this terrorist organization and through mis-reporting this, have ignited further trouble throughout the Middle East.The BBC Arabic Channel,that we tax payers fund ,after a flood of complaints,have dismissed five presenters for making anti semitic comments.It has totally lost any credibility now,after being in previous decades a fairly reliable source of news broadcasting.Iran is the country that funds all these jihadi terrorists and with no control on movement thoughout Europe, we are extremely vulnerable over here.

You say that Bill, but pretty much all extreme leftists are making similar accusations of anti-Palestinian bias from the Beeb including three seperate presenters referring to people demonstrating against alleged targeting of inocent Palestinian citizens as demonstrating 'in support of Hamas'. Dodgy, and at least one presenter have apologised, but the far left are equally outraged, so at least the Beeb are outraging the extremes of both sides!

I’m sure bbc have been targeted

Good interviews last night on C4 news. Krishnan Guru Murthy took to task a Hamas spokesman. He also laid into the right wing religious hard liner (her own words) Israeil UK Ambassador in a separate interview. You don't get that balance on BBC news despite what you keep saying rp.

The current middle east crisis aside...
BBC pride themselves on being middle of the road. Problem is, when the political argument has been dragged off to the right, which it has with this hard right Tory government and soft opposition, the "middle ground" also moves off to the right.

Is this comedy?

I hear you Shanks, but you get equally adamant hard rightists saying with equal conviction that the current Tory government have dragged the 'middle ground' off to the left. Fire's reply just now being a great case in point! Who's right, you or him? Both of you will cry 'Me' but possibly the answer is somewhere in the middle, and perhaps the BBC reflect that, angering left and right in equal measures.
