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

[Balan]

The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion of the holy land, and the LORD will again choose Jerusalem.

Zechariah 2:16.
The holiness of the Land of Israel is generally implied by the Tanakh's claim that the Land was given to the Israelites by God, that is, it is the
"Promised Land", an integral part of God's covenant.

In the Quran,( proclaiming to the Children of Israel "O my people! Enter the Holy Land which Allah has destined for you ˹to enter˺. And do not turn back or else you will become losers."[Quran 5:21]

And batting for the other side,

Miʿrāj, in Islam, the ascension of the Prophet Muhammad into heaven. In this tradition, Muhammad is prepared for his meeting with God by the archangels Jibrīl (Gabriel) and Mīkāl (Michael) one evening while he is asleep in the Kaʿbah, the sacred shrine of Mecca.

Are we serious?

[Balan]

Since when have ordinary people been living in Gaza ? If it were so, there would be no conflict, and a lasting peace. Plus Europeans would be flocking to the East's Mediterranean beaches, gel nicht wahr?

Meanwhile back in Blighty, Two Tier and his pals while claiming they had to cancel winter fuel payments for the vast majority of pensioners due to a 22 billion black hole left by the Tories have decided to return the Chagos Islands to Mauritius (without apparently consulting the Chagos islanders themselves) and allegedly pay Mauritius billions to take the islands off our hands. Now for an encore they have conspired with the Conservatives apparently to cancel a number of local elections as they intend to prioritise their plans for the reform of local Government. If your vote was meaningless in the General Election as Labour grabbed two thirds of the seats with one third of the vote they have now upped this a level. You can’t vote!

I expect no more from a Jew loving Tory, Sir Outwood.

[kritichris]

I'm just watching a film set in 1023 when "the Arabs tolerated the Jews (and vice versa) but not the Christians". Even religious prejudices are not consistent. It's all down to the political and religious prejudices of the day. If we didn't have religion life would be much simpler, we could just concentrate on racism, or which football team you support. (Some) men (mainly) just want someone to fight, any excuse will suffice. Unfortunately the fighters tend to become leaders. Just another thought.

I'm just watching "Mussolini" on a SKY series, Trump beware, all dictatorships come to an ungodly end sometime...

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) and individuals assisting the ICC in prosecuting Americans and officials from Israel and other U.S. allies. This is a reaction to issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

[Balan]

(BT) I think Netanyahu is more than qualified to be arrested and the gentleman knows it, of course not, how can anybody leave the sunshine and warmer weather in Israel to visit ice cold Poland?? That's the equivalent of almost committing suicide. A pity really, Poland has many ' ładne dziewczyny.'

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I don't need a dictionary to see ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza for what it is sinkov.

Killing and displacing an unharmed civilian population is barbaric and beyond words.

Netanyahu is a monster.

[Balan]

Perhaps B T thinks these militants throw something like mud,just for fun?? He must get the Daily Palastine Post delivered to him there in Bolton.And that could be their special edition??
