Israel-Palestine

[Jack Regan]

Every time he puts "Thank you for your attention to this matter" in a SM post it makes me want to punch him in the face even more.

It's all the "God Bless" shite that gets me.

Every fucking word he utters gets me.

They blew up an Iranian radar station anyway.

Social Media is saying there is an Iranian victory parade at 6.00pm local time this evening. I just hope Israel don't decide to be party poopers

He’s said to a reporter on camera “ Israel and Iran have fighting each other hard for so long, they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing”

Israel weakened all the Iranian proxy groups so they couldn’t react to what they’ve done in Iran. They’ve got Trump to do the one job they couldn’t and now is the time for them to stop. Problem is Netanyahu doesn’t want to as there’s a nest of vipers waiting internally once they stop military activity. At the end of the day he needs the USA firmly on his side so I suspect he’ll climb down.

So statesman like...

Other than the optics as a statesman etc. It might not be a bad thing him saying that though.

Co-op to stop sourcing goods from Israel, Iran and 15 other countries

Retailer says ‘internationally recognised’ abuses take place in nations including Russia and Syria

I may be mistaken, but I can't find an article from the BBC about that.

Do the BBC normally report on where supermarkets source their goods?

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Yes.

This is quite a significant story, Tory MPs are talking about it for example (saying Co op should apologise) and as you can see above other news vendors are too.

It's odd that the BBC haven't.

Honestly I’ll take it. For once (and probably the only time), he’s absolutely correct.

It'll be a meme for the ages

Run by The Muslim Council of Britain.
'well they would say that'...

 

[Templeton Peck]

BBC reporting is laughably pro-Israel.

 

[visage]

Too many people define 'pro Israel' as 'They're not anti Israel enough for me'

I think if people are determined to find bias then they will find evidence that fits the bill.

I think if people are determined to find bias then they will find evidence that fits the bill.

Cuts both ways so not really a winning argument for anyone. Also only ever used when convenient. Oddly enough, a very Trumpian stance to look at evidence and say “nah, doesn’t say what I want it to, must be the research that’s wrong”. Nonsense.

I don’t understand why you think Israel need or deserve any grace here or indeed regarding any of their heinous treatment of Palestine over the last ~50 years. As a political entity Israel are utterly abhorrent and Netanyahu is a genocidal fascist. Grapple with those arguments first and foremost, though you’d really have to hit an all-timer of a persuasive home run to even start to move the needle.
