In Northern Ireland amongst republicans there’s been sympathy with Gaza especially for decades. It’s not unusual in the north to pass a catholic area and see a Free Gaza sign. They see a similarity between themselves being occupied and Gaza being occupied.

To not behave like terrorists in retaliation would be a good starting point.

Hasn’t Israel fired 3000 into Gaza? By that standard and using your own logic that must mean Hamas is the victim here.

And where do they go?

The Israeli government’s actions also aren’t helping Jews around the world. Anti Semitic attacks up in pretty much every country in the world and Jewish based faith schools in the U.K. are closing until at least Monday for fear of being targeted.

Just the Tories capitalising and trying to bring the situation into their phoney culture war

Israel has overplayed its hand here so much that they’re going to lose the sympathy of the world and hand a “victory” to Hamas. The British government needs to speak out, if they stand by and say nothing and keep backing Israel how can they start complaining when Palestinian refugees start...

I agree. Sometimes by choice. Doesn’t mean that they should green light the actions of Israel.

I initially thought that but then I remembered the Ranson/SISU situation and immediately thought that anything is possible. Especially when dealing with companies that are made from and used to doing high risk fast return business dealings.

There’s a suggestion on the Reading forum that Storey is a front for Redbird capital, who apparently tried to buy a stake in Liverpool. Their investors seem to be American sports and Hollywood stars. Sounds like they’re in danger of getting their Ranson/SISU.

Defecting from the SNP to the Tories. Kin’ell.

On a connected note Trump apparently blamed Biden yesterday for the Hamas incursions and attacks.

There is energy but it’s a tiny percentage of what they need.

The historical use of cluster munitions by Israel in Gaza has killed many children and mostly after the ceasefire. The basic scenario is a ceasefire is called kids leave home to play out, inevitably they play on bomb sites, disturb unexploded bomblets from cluster bombs and boom. Unexploded...

My understanding has always been that the vast majority of Heradi Jews are anti-Zionist as they see the creation of the current State of Israel as as blasphemy. They account for about 16% of Jews in Israel and it’s also the fastest growing sect of Judaism. Many many Orthodox Jews feel the same...

He said it secured British jobs so it was fine
