Didn’t Israel ‘strike first’ in 1968? And then try to lie about it?

I absolutely hate this. If you’re going to march against oppression and racism, don’t bring oppression and racism with you. (But more importantly don’t harbour these bullshit ideas in the first place) These people absolutely should be arrested and prosecuted. Not the brightest people, especially when you look around and look who’s marching WITH you. I do think (and certainly hope) these were a minority of idiots who go along just to cause trouble or drag the narrative off track.

One betting site quoting 33/1 for Emery as their next manager. Which was a little worrying, until I saw Southgate at 16/1 Ay that point I remembered bookies ain’t got any more of a clue than anyone else.

Thanks for this (I’m referring to the entire post) And thanks for the part in bold in particular. I sometimes feel that this sentiment isn’t present in what I read, and that is what gets my back up to be honest. I’m going to see if I can find the full report to have a good read.

Would be an interesting read about the other big war. Do you mind linking?

Because 1.3 children per couple is assuming that everyone who is not a child is a parent. That is not likely to be the case. Let me apply the maths to your example. if 18% of the uk is a ‘child’, the that would leave 82% as an adult. let’s assume the population of the uk to be 70,000,000 82% = 57,400,000 adults 18% = 12,600,000 children change adults to couples: 28,700,000 at your average of 2.0 children thus would suggest that 57,400,000 children. Which is obviously not 18% of 70,000,000 So that’s why the maths doesn’t work

Amnesty international? Meh. Who listens to these guys? Probably Russian/Iranian funded. Just look at their previous damning reports about Israel. Obviously biased. Nothing to see here, move along.

Yh, stick to US sources. Proper legit stuff.

All of that was implied by my response. Doesn’t take a lot of thought to work that out to be honest. ‘I’m trying to work out if mass murder was collateral damage or not’ ’Well, I hope you’re never collateral damage.’ Im still not sure what part of that you took offence to.

You’re missing the point. poster is indeed correct about it being almost impossible to know the truth, except where both sides report the same things. IDF have accepted that they did indeed bomb this site. (I can see that the term refugee camp is being disputed so I shall not use that, as it is irrelevant to my point.) evidence: approx 1 minute: ‘can you confirm it was an Israeli attack…’ ‘yes I can’ Not disputed, right? Ok. Now to my point in my response to OP. Imagine op’s neighbours are drug dealers. Lets even say the neighbour pops over to visit op sometimes. On what planet would it be ‘ok’ to kill op, his family, his dog, destroy all his property because the neighbour decided to be next to op at the time? Its irrelevant. Thats why I said I hope that he is never a victim of collateral damage. I sincerely hope I never have to read about how op was in a bank when a bank robbery was taking pace and the police bomb the entire bank to get the robbers. I dread the thought of op and his family being blown to bits and us discussing on Villatalk whether the police were justified in bombing the bank and asking each other for evidence of what was the bank robber thinking. Does that make it clearer?

I guess we should also ignore amnesty international nowadays. anyone else been criticising Israel nowadays that we should ignore?

Like Israel you mean?

Nowadays that they don’t agree with what Israel say or do? Ok.

Really? Ok. I sincerely hope to god you’re never an accidental by product of anything.

Ok my bad. Didn’t realise that the organisation I referred to did not exist. I shall retract that part of my post, with an apology. The rest still applies.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Here’s mine. Edit; I believe there are outside influences on our politicians. [ I initially referred to this outside influence as a particular organisation that has since been pointed out to me that could be considered anti-Semitic. This was not my intention, so apologies to anyone that I offended.] The hypocrisy of some people is so mind boggling that it makes you wonder if people are just deliberately doing it. ’Israel has a right to defend it self’. this defence apparently includes killing non-civilians. Let’s rewind to October 6th. Palestinians are being terrorised daily by Israel - fact. Do the Palestinians have the right to defend themselves? Does this include killing Israeli civilians? I would say no, and no. Neither is ok. Neither is defence. It doesn’t take more than a few brain cells to figure out what is happening is not ok. For anyone to stand up and say it is ok on ANY level needs to examine their inner morals. If anyone believes that Israel’s actions here are going to end Hamas, they’re lying to themselves. For those that don’t understand what I’m saying, answer these two questions honestly in your own hearts. Put everything else to one side. 1) if Hamas were hiding in Israel, would the ‘IDF’ be bombing Israeli civilian infrastructure, saying that it’s not their fault that Hamas were using human shields? 2) if Hamas were hiding under your house, would it be ok for the IDF to bomb your house and kill your family? I’m not expecting answers. Quite frankly, I don’t want to hear any more bullshit excuses for murder.

It’s appalling. I suspect that their hand was somewhat forced by showing solidarity with just about the only country that can support them against Russia. Regardless, it’s an absolutely disgusting look, and my sympathy towards them has just shrunk by a considerable amount.

My 9? Year old daughter got egged on to call another girl she had never met ‘ugly’ on a WhatsApp message. The girl complained to her mother, who called the mother of one of the girls that had egged my daughter on, who had then called my wife. I rang the mother of the girl who was called ugly, apologised, got her address, drove all the way there to make my daughter apologise in person. I also got her to spend her own money to buy her ‘sorry’ card and gifts, and made her pay for my fuel. She hasn’t put a foot out of line since.

I’m sick of the conservatives. I just want my vote to make a difference. I can’t stand Starmer, but my god Sunak and his cronies needs to be gone as a bigger priority.

I have my theories. Im going to get a few angry responses, but I genuinely think Israel will absorb a large part of Gaza. If they retreat quickly after mission accomplished and let the people return I shall happily admit I was wrong. But a new ‘buffer zone’ which gradually gets filled with settlers is where I shall hedge my bets.

wow, I totally misread what @magnkarl wrote! 100% agreed. Lol. The point I was trying to make was that not voting Labour and voting a different party could potentially spread the anti-conservative vote about a bit, and keep the tories in charge? Haven’t really looked at the which seats are likely to be affected the most?

Honestly I wouldn’t agree with this in the slightest. EDIT: completely misread what you’d written and 100% agree with the bit in bold! Apologies.

To be fair, I’d rather be paid nothing and be Unai, than be paid loads and be shit. History will not remember how much a manager was paid. History will remember what they achieved.

Labour Party rules: https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/rulebook-2020.pdf page 8, clause VII https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Party_leadership_of_Keir_Starmer The Labour Party leadership of Keir Starmer began when Keir Starmer was elected as Leader of the UK Labour Party in April 2020 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Liberal_Democrats_leadership_election The 2020 Liberal Democrats leadership electionwas held in August 2020, after Jo Swinson, the previous leader of the Liberal Democrats, lost her seat in the 2019 general election. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Green_Party_of_England_and_Wales_leadership_election The 2021 Green Party of England and Wales leadership election was held from August to September 2021 to select a new leader or leaders of the Green Party of England and Wales Now I’m getting confused, that’s all four major parties that elect their leader?

Could backfire though. Leaving the conservatives in charge.
