You somehow continue to amaze me with your lack of political awareness

You actually just spew out sound byte rhetoric you’ve picked up from the internet - sorry you’ve no clue even what you are typing

You waded in that the very beginning on here and refuse to acknowledge Israel is backed by all major bodies in the West

You are effectively the Naz Shah of the group as you’ve already admitted to hating Israel which is interesting when you then seek a solution

So if this means you're right on Israel how come the West opposing Russia's invasion doesn't make you wrong on Ukraine?

Do you also think we are right to arm the Saudis to bomb Yeman?

Have you not seen what Hamas have done? I’m not shocked by the certain posters on this thread that sympathise with them……it’s the usual clowns
No-one has sympathised with Hamas have they?

They have sympathised with Palestine and the Palestinian people.

Was listening to 5 Live this morning and it was saying so many Palestinians really hate Hamas.

Think all people are saying is, what Hamas did was horrific, but let's not pretend Israel are innocent. Both sides have historic culpability in this unholy (holy) mess.

I’m sorry, this is just more offensive generalising bullshit. Don’t care how many surveys you want to link to.
I’m sorry that you don’t believe in legitimate polling that’s been conducted within their own state by their own sources published by their own press. Shame we’re in the business of denying legitimate forms of demographic analysis, anything for holy Israel it seems..

I knew somebody from Gaza once. They were one of the more well-off Palestinians, family owned a business and could afford to send him to the UK. He was happy to be friends with people from, wherever really, wasn't particularly politically engaged. However in the background, his family had lost a lot of their land and property during Israeli occupation.

And then once didn't come back once for months - Israel wouldn't let people out and then shelled where he lived, repeatedly. His family lost everything.

He despised Israel for what they did - he voted Hamas or whatever their political wing is, as what he saw was his land oppressed and colonised by an aggressor, when all his family wanted to do was work a living.

There are many sides to this story.

Of course, there'll be tales the other way of why non radical Israelis go hardline but I can't give the personal account of those, doesn't mean they don't exist though!

But that's what happens when places are drawn up and divided without empathy, people are ignored, and others exploit people for their own ends.

Can you prove that?

I think thats a bit of a sweeping generalisation.
Yes it’s heavily documented, you can find a wide range of polls, biased, unbiased, etc that will all tell you roughly the same thing. I’m not linking 300 polls. It’s also just common sense that someone living in any country most likely supports its existence.

I said the exact same thing when Grendel was trotting out crude generalisations about all Muslims being “generally the most racist”.

This is not about giving any side a free pass, it’s about not slurring and dehumanising millions of people based on the actions of some of the worst members of their community.

I support the existence of the UK but I don't support our fuck knuckled government or their ideology.

I’ve seen black and white pictures of UFO’s and all sorts with Nazi symbols on them. How they didn’t win WW2 is beyond me…

Don’t know if accurate but owen jones says 96% of deaths in the conflict are Palestinian over the last 15 years
50% of the Palestinian population are children

You off again

I’ve already said every country in the west (one exception) agrees with the stance of supporting the Israel state - they acknowledge Israel as a legitimate government and do not acknowledge Hamas

Your views outside of this thread are not the majority - so by your own theory most governments and most people are “right wing twats”

Didn't you vote for Brexit?

Brexit was opposed by the leader of the UK and pretty much every major western government - especially in the EU.

There's also evidence that Russia interfered with the democratic process leading up to the Brexit vote, and it's pretty clear Russia wanted Brexit.

So does that mean your views are aligned with Russia's (as you were badgering Tea & Busquets about earlier)?

I assume your reasoning would be that the government(s) were wrong about Brexit at the time, which is why you opposed them? And I assume Russia's support, and possible involvement, was an unfortunate footnote?

That would actually make you a hypocrite on this thread, as you're basically saying the same thing.

For balance, it turns out I also know somebody who was dismissed for criticising the Palestinian Authority's killing of one of their critics!

I think the mask has slipped with Tea and Bikkies - we all see what solution he wants

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, especially ones from Jerusalem many of who refer to themselves as Neturei Karta and see themselves as protectors of Jerusalem. The other clue is that General elections in Israel are pretty much always a hung parliament and the government is a coalition. Less than 50% of the population of Israel are secular Jews and as a rough rule of thumb it’s secular Jews that tend to be Zionist.
