sne Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Israel green light another 5000 settlements on illegally occupied Palestinian territory on the West Bank. Some European countries complains but does f all, not even a slap on the wrist and it's soon forgotten among all the other stuff that is happening in the world. Never waste a good crisis. Remember when we had that Hasbara poster on here a few years back who claimed Israel would never do something like this again. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 You must remember to be clear you are talking specifically about the current Israeli coalition government officials in their official government capacity. Or mud will be thrown to shut you up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Interesting bombing in Saudi today at a WWI memorial with many western/international diplomats/spies in attendance. It appears to have a specific French leaning, but one can never be sure. https://au.news.yahoo.com/bomb-strikes-wwi-memorial-saudi-143029636.html "A bomb blast struck a World War I commemoration attended by French and other diplomats in the Saudi city of Jeddah Wednesday, wounding at least two people in the second such assault in weeks. The attack at a non-Muslim cemetery comes less than a month after a guard at the French consulate in Jeddah was wounded by a knife-wielding Saudi citizen, amid anger among Muslim nations over satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed."

Chindie Posted November 27, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 27, 2020 Being an Iranian nuclear scientist has to be up there in the dangerous job stakes. They just keep dying. It's very unfortunate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted January 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2021 Iran's nuclear facilities and personnel keep blowing up. Iran has continued to poke at the limits of what is acceptable under the nuclear deal to push the US to come back into compliance with it as well.

sne Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Well I never! Quote Israel to tell ICC it does not recognise court's authority, Ynet reports Israel will tell the International Criminal Court it does not recognize the authority of the tribunal, which is planning to investigate possible war crimes in the Palestinian territories, the news website Ynet reported on Thursday. The Israeli website said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had decided not to cooperate with the inquiry after meeting with senior ministers and government officials ahead of a Friday deadline to respond to an ICC notification letter. One Israeli official confirmed to Reuters that the government would indeed respond to the court’s letter. But Israel did not immediately expand on what the response would entail. Israel is not a party to the Rome Statute that established the ICC and therefore by definition not a party to the court. https://www.reuters.com/article/israel-palestinians-icct-int/israel-to-tell-icc-it-does-not-recognize-courts-authority-ynet-reports-idUSKBN2BV1UH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, Trump even put in sanctions against a ICC judge who wanted to prosecute the US soldiers who committed war crimes in Afghanistan. Some of the nicest nations in the world in that group not in the ICC: United States, China, India, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Qatar and Israel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 At least some of them were wearing masks. Quote Dozens of people have been injured in violent clashes in East Jerusalem between far-right Jewish activists, Palestinians and Israeli police. Hundreds of ultranationalist Jews shouting "Death to Arabs" confronted Palestinian demonstrators at the city's Damascus Gate late on Thursday. The police, who were trying to keep the two groups apart, used stun grenades and tear gas against the protesters, some of whom threw stones and bottles. A number of people were arrested. The Palestinian Red Crescent said at least 100 Palestinians were injured, including 21 who needed hospital treatment. On Thursday, Palestinians accused the police of trying to prevent them from holding their usual Ramadan evening gatherings outside Damascus Gate, an historic landmark of Jerusalem's walled Old City. The police warned they would "act firmly against violence and riots of all kinds", a police spokesman was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-56854275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not read the article , so maybe that's all wonky, but Labour is introspective, self-indulgent, disconnected and self-righteous IMO. The Palestinians are brutalised and oppressed and deserve more support from the world and more pressure and action to address the Israeli Governments appalling actions against them. If Labour baulks at the Union Flag, or English flag, which they have done in the past, then don't expect that to convince people they've got their heads right.
