Injustice and B T

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I researched this BDS malarkey about three years ago for a Labour Party/Palestinian event.

When I got up to speak and quoted the source of information I was referring to, I pointed out it was hurting the Palestinian workers who provide a lot of the labour that goes into the goods which Israel exports.

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 ?

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?

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 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?

Yes you are spot on there ! SodaStream which produces fizzy drinks company with a factory in an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. It employed 500 Palestinian workers.But since it has to move these people will loose their jobs!
"SodaStream is a company that is not only committed to the environment but to building a bridge to peace between Israel and Palestine, supporting neighbours working alongside each other, receiving equal pay, equal benefits and equal rights.
The SodaStream chief executive, Daniel Birnbaum, told the Forward he would never have established a production plant in a settlement if he could turn the clock back, saying its location had turned out to be "a pain in the ass". He inherited the factory when he became CEO in 2007. Birnbaum said he would not bow to pressure to close it out of loyalty to his 500 Palestinian employees, who would be unable to work at a new larger plant under construction inside Israel. "We will not throw our employees under the bus to promote anyone's political agenda," he said, adding that he "just can't see how it would help the cause of the Palestinians if we fired them".

Thank you BDS for making more jobs in Israel. If the SodaStream factory had stayed near Maale Adumim there would be more jobs for Palestinians. It shows how evil this hate-inspired movement is.

The Palestinians have become pawns in a very odious geopolitical game.( Post 269)
..... the Israelis just play the long game and keep on land grabbing and doing whatever they want. No UN outrage,

Can you supply an example of ''land grabbing.''

No UN outrage!! There would not be if Israel kept within the law. By the way, ''whose law''? International law? When some 55 States or Nations, have links ,or linked to the world of Islam. Then we know world politics is a dirty business, thats 55-0 before a vote is taken
'Land grabbing' means we steal it !!! There are courts of Law ! If the Pallys have paperwork to show they bought that land,or proof? If not then its an illegal settlement. And really if you are dependent on grazing you could move from place to place it's useless buying land.

Maybe you don't know but some houses in Judea and Samaria belonged to Jews.
The Hebron massacre refers to the killing of sixty-seven or sixty-nine Jews on 24 August 1929 in Hebron, then part of the British Mandatory Palestine, by Arabs incited to violence by rumors that Jews were planning to seize control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The event also left scores seriously wounded or maimed.
So peaceful was the city that only one British policeman guarded the entire city.

Following the attacks, the British High Commissioner Sir John Chancellor visited Hebron. He later wrote to his son, “The horror of it is beyond words. In one house I visited not less than twenty-five Jews men and women were murdered in cold blood.” Sir Walter Shaw concluded in The Palestine Disturbances report that “unspeakable atrocities have occurred in Hebron.”

Don't you think Balan, perhaps enough is enough?

Innovative Light-Blade laser can cut down Hamas, Iranian attack drones (with Video )
https://www.jpost.com/HEALTH-SCIENCE...-drones-619765

The laser uses a low-powered system, making it suitable for use in urban environments such as airports without the risk of blinding anyone in the area.

Last month, the team proved the efficacy of their system by downing explosive balloons traveling across the border from Gaza. The system was paired with Elbit’s SupervisIR threat detection system in the test, and operated by the Border Police. "We succeeded in downing everything that came within our field of fire," Ishaaya said.

I meant all round Balan. When does this hatred stop?......its not hatred it's just 'self defence',for us.

I have told you ,Iran wants to have the power in the M E,it does this by encouraging 'resistance through it's proxy's armies,Hamas, Hezbullah, and the Houthis.
Stop the flow of cash and weapons coming from Iran, and the stage is set for peace ?
If there are nights when all is quiet,when they do not fire rockets ,then we do not attack Gaza,
