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

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I remember going to stay with friends in Belfast in the late 50s, it was the family who had looked after my dad when he was stationed in Belfast towards the end of the war. My dad's ship had been sunk in the Med by the Italian navy, blown in half by one of their mines, but he survived. I don't think the navy knew what to do with him until they found him another ship, so they sent him on guard duty to Belfast Docks. What I can vividly remember is whole house sides with NO POPE HERE writ in huge letters. I don't think the good people of that part of Belfast gave a FF about the Pope's pointed messages, neither does President Trump and neither do I.

You seem to like sectarian violence and discourse mon ami. It's no wonder the Jews slaughtering Muslims in the Middle East concerns you not a jot.

Yesterday it was announced that the International Criminal Court has officially issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Netanyahu, citing reasonable grounds for war crimes including the starvation of civilians.
While Netanyahu dismisses the charges as political, the legal move has created a massive rift in global diplomacy.#Headlines360 #Netanyahu #ICC #InternationalLaw #WarCrimes #BreakingNews

Hang the evil b@stard.

It might impress you mon ami, but the meanderings of someone who claims to receive messages from god via his mobile phone suggests to me he's not quite full shilling, bit like you mon ami, few sandwiches short of a picnic.

"The Israeli settlers vowing to take over Gaza".

‘Pioneers’ who are part of the ‘religious Zionist’ vanguard want to displace the Palestinians. At a picnic spot and memorial for fallen Israeli soldiers just a few hundred metres from the Gaza border, Israel’s new pioneers are planning to expand the country.
During the five-week war in Iran, international attention has turned away from Gaza. But for these would-be settlers, it has remained very much in focus.
Visitors are handed leaflets marked “Our Gaza”, showing how they intend to settle the entirety of the strip, creating settlements in the top, middle and bottom of the Palestinian territory between the horizontal military corridors the Israeli military has carved there.
“The people in Gaza are generally terrorists or terrorist supporters and they don’t deserve to live there,” says Neri Abraham, an articulate 19-year-old with ringlets and a knitted kippah as he gestures across the fields to the Gaza fence and the ruins beyond.
“The good ones can stay if they like and live peacefully under Israeli rule but the rest should go to Egypt. And the terrorists? Well, they are terrorists and I don’t care what happens to them,” he adds.

Mr Abraham and his colleagues are “religious Zionists” and are the vanguard of a new and radical social movement sweeping Israeli politics and its institutions. They are dedicated to the creation of a greater Israel – one which encompasses not just Gaza and the West Bank, but the Golan Heights and parts of southern Lebanon too. Fuelled by a political system that has given Bezalel Smotrich, the finance minister, and Itamar Ben-Gvir, the national security minister, outsized power and influence, they have become the political and cultural force in Israel to be reckoned with. As handy with guns as they are with the Torah, their men now dominate large parts of the Israeli army, manning many of its front-line commando and special forces units."

Be very afraid Pallys, these lads don't feck about.

Some ceasefire is this.
One hundred strikes in ten minutes. Twelve hours after the United States and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, Israel launched the deadliest single bombing campaign in Lebanon's history.
The Lebanese are calling it Black Wednesday.
The death toll is now over 300. More than 1,150 people injured. Buildings came down on top of people during the lunch hour, while children were leaving school, while workers were at a coffee roastery on a street that had nothing to do with any military target.
Mourners at a funeral in the Beqaa Valley were bombed. Entire families pulled from rubble.
Pakistan's prime minister said the ceasefire explicitly covered Lebanon. Iran said the same. CBS News reported that Trump initially agreed Lebanon was included, then got on the phone with Benjamin Netanyahu, and his position changed.
Trump signed off on a ceasefire, Netanyahu called, and Lebanon got bombed anyway.
Israel has now destroyed seven bridges over the Litani River, severing southern Lebanon from the rest of the country. Over a million people have been displaced, one in five Lebanese residents.
The World Food Programme said this week what's happening is no longer just a displacement crisis. It is becoming a food security crisis. Eighty percent of markets in southern Lebanon have shut down.
A WFP convoy this week took fifteen hours to complete a journey that normally takes two. Hospitals are running low on insulin. Dialysis supplies. Surgical materials. Blood products. The WHO warned they may run out within days.
Since March 2nd, Israel has killed more than 1,530 people in Lebanon. At least 130 of them were children. Over 57 healthcare workers have been killed, in attacks on ambulances, on Civil Defense centers, on hospitals.
Human Rights Watch documented these attacks and found no evidence any of those facilities were being used for military purposes.
The ceasefire happened. Lebanon wasn't in it. Three hundred people died the same day the deal was announced.

I'm amazed that a lad from Accrington can support murderous Jewish scum.

It's their country mon ami, God gave it to them, they can do what they like for me. Like Neri Abraham, I don't care what happens to terrorists, I'll leave that to the Israelis. They know what to do with baby-killers, murderers and rapists.

"The second coming of Trump has been accompanied by the creeping acknowledgement that he might either be mad or senile," "And as things fall apart in his mind, so anarchy is loosed upon the rest of the world."

"'Mad' and 'senile' may not be precise medical terms, but pick your own symptoms," Rusbridger wrote. "Even his most fervent supporters can no longer hide their disquiet at his impulsivity, malignant narcissism and erratic volatility. All but the wilfully blind recoil from the deranged stream of consciousness that spews from his social media accounts at all times of day and night."

There is no God, it's Biblical made up nonsense. No God gave no-one the right to murder children and steal land that is not theirs and never was.

It's pfhucking farcical that educated people think otherwise.

The Pope thinks there's a god, and you thought he was worth quoting on these pages. So is it farcical or not, if he isn't god's representative on earth then no one would have the slightest interest in what the silly old fool was saying. But you seemed to deem it relevant. Are you a closet left-footer mon ami, is that why you hate Jewish people ?
