Not sure what kicking off with the police or putting posters up is going to do to stop it.

Also not sure it's what you should be most outraged about at this time.

He says this about pretty much every social and political controversy, this is THE issue to him

Least it keeps the news desk busy?

What’s so wrong with not wanting trouble in the UK because of conflict thousands of miles away?

I'm just asking what the point is. That's all?

What's so wrong about caring about world events and wanting to put pressure on politicians to use there influence?

Nowt my friend. Violence, should it get that far, seems totally unnecessary though.

So we have seen a savage terrorist incident in which over 1,000 people have been killed and hostages taken; an unfolding humanitarian crisis involving 2.5 million people arising from a blockade and decades of oppression; deadly bombing of civilians and a potentially brutal ground offensive. Meanwhile we have a high risk of a regional conflict which will take generations of lives and create world insecurity. But the big question is why are some people waving flags far from where the action is all happening?

Have fun waving a flag and changing your profile picture then.

I didn't say it was " the big question" I just asked why people decide to kick off in this (and other countries) about it?

Why the fuck is changing the colour of Wembley or putting a certain flag on a council house in the UK going to do anything?

Sounds like both sides are cunts for killing innocent people. It's just this time it's not as plain sailing as "pray for Ukraine".

Well that's the point. The flags etc aren't important so why raise it on a thread about something that is?

Because it's the same topic?

Sorry. Is it interrupting you experts solving it all?

Ok carry on talking about flags then if that is so important to you.

I just asked what the point was with kicking off in other countries about it?

"Bcoz they care" seems to be your answer.

I didn't say that at all. I said it wasn't important and I couldn't care less about flags. So I find it odd that you think it important.

The irony of Putin condemning the attacks on civilians

Still stop clocks and all that

I wouldn't know anything about all this social media shit if I didn't come on this particular piece of social media!

And raised by someone who claims to disapprove of it but seems bizarrely obsessed by it.

How did you get "obsessed" by asking a question about it?

Slightly exaggerating?

It seems such a strange thing to get outraged about in the current situation. Pretty sure you have raised this more than once on various topics.

There’s an Egyptian spanner in the works.

what they doing? I saw the germans were speaking to them

Rejected another plea for Palestinians to evacuate to the south border and into Egypt I’ve just read. So those in the north are even more fucked.

starting to get a bit touch and go in the west bank

Not shocked

I just asked a question? I suggest you lookup what "outraged" means.

Have you arranged world peace yet with your well targeted, superior outrage?

Didn't think so. Got a like off SBT though.

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

I’m in the US right now and the news reporting is interesting, NY has the biggest concentration of Jews (more than Tel Avis etc) and the news reporters are definitely all for supporting them and destroying terrorism.
You do feel you are only getting one side to the story but I cannot confess to know all sides and the stories. We can only go on what the media portray which makes it tough as they control the narrative.

I guess the narrative is very different for Baghdad to NY for instance

Hes backing Palestine

Must present a conundrum for you.

Hadnt appreciated how tiny Gaza was compared to the West Bank

not really for me I’d think

Backing the US in one conflict but Russia in another?

It felt like you were the one acting superior, scoffing at people with flags in their social media, showing support for a cause they believe in. It's not something I would do but it's hardly the big problem of the moment.

Got a laugh off Grendel though, even though he said he was out of this thread.

Also big demos apparently in neighbouring countries like Jordan and Lebanon.

US has closed their Embassy in Israel, had a message from a friend in LA who works for a Jewish owned Company, now she is working but a lot of the staff are missing. They had a note around that the Police are on heightened alert.

Stay safe everybody.
