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

The Church of England no longer prevaricates: "In unusually forthright language, they say: “There has been a drastic acceleration and intensification of settlement construction, land confiscation and home demolition in the West Bank, exacerbating longstanding patterns of oppression, violence and discrimination against Palestinians.

“There has always been a close relationship between successive Israeli governments and the settler movement, but there now seems to be little distinction between settler violence and state violence.”

The bishops demand the Israeli government “stop acting as if it is uniquely above the law”.

They say the call by the UN general assembly last week for Israel to end its unlawful presence in the occupied Palestinian territories “can’t be another false dawn”. The UN must “move beyond strong words and agree a robust set of measures to ensure Israel’s compliance” with international law."

About time too!

You're getting desperate mon ami when you have to call on Church of England bishops and the United Nations for help in your propaganda war. No sensible person takes a blind bit of notice of either of them.

You're getting desperate mon ami when you have to call on Church of England bishops and the United Nations for help in your propaganda war. No sensible person takes a blind bit of notice of either of them.

That's the trouble mon ami Israel bullies its neighbours to death, robs the land while all the while the bully's bestie presides over them with the Seventh Fleet, squadrons of F-17s and billions of dollars worth of weapons supplied with the sole intent to annihilate the Arabs.

Putin must have no tangible assets to protect or reasons to intervene in this genocidal madness.
