@PolitiKeyUK@HadleyFreeman There are many valid criticisms than can and should be made. Ethnic cleansing isn’t one of them and to say so reeks of ideological capture.
@PolitiKeyUK@HadleyFreeman ‘Pariah state’ isn’t analysis, it’s the oldest conclusion in the world scurrying around for a new justification, while indulging the genocidal fantasies of murderous, repressive misogynistic and deeply bigoted jihadist regimes 🤡
@PolitiKeyUK@HadleyFreeman I find the psychology of an anonymous no-mark ranking celebrity virtue-signalling above the valid concerns of an ethnic minority about as fascinating as it is unoriginal 🥱
@PolitiKeyUK@HadleyFreeman Anyway, you’re trying to explain the intent behind the design. Fine. I’m telling you that many Jews immediately saw the lynching photo in it, unprompted. That reaction was foreseeable, and a choice to proceed with. You should ask why.
@PolitiKeyUK@HadleyFreeman ‘Blood on your hands’ is an idiom, used from Macbeth to Vietnam. But the Ramallah image is a photograph: a man triumphantly displaying red palms from a window after a killing. The pin isn’t accused of echoing a figure of speech, but a specific, notorious moment.”
@PolitiKeyUK@HadleyFreeman So disingenuous. Symbols don’t carry one universal meaning, they carry the meaning of the conflict they’re deployed in. And in this conflict, the red hand has a very specific photograph attached to it.
@PolitiKeyUK@HadleyFreeman Sure. Of all the peace symbols available, they picked a red hand, the single most infamous image from the Ramallah lynching. At best an unfortunate coincidence but now the symbolism has been made clear, it’s clearly antagonistic.
@BrianFlanagan1@JohnSimpsonNews Not overlooking the tragic deaths of any civilians, killed in a war started by Hamas. You’re the one doing that by promoting the propaganda of a murderous and racist jihadist death cult. Antizionism is Jew hate btw, which makes you just another bigot 🥱
@BrianFlanagan1@JohnSimpsonNews Vast majority of those Palestinian casualties are combatants (just check Hamas’s own figures) because Israel has targeted jihadist terrorists. Vast majority of those Israeli casualties are civilians because Hamas targets ordinary Jews.
@sligochick@BrianFlanagan1@JohnSimpsonNews Eh? Palestinian leaders have, several times, had proposals for a Palestinian state encompassing way more territory than Palestinian Authority currently administers. Great opportunities for ordinary Palestinians, rejected by leaders obsessed with destroying the only Jewish state
@BrianFlanagan1@JohnSimpsonNews No government on Earth would pursue 2SS Oct 7. But the Israeli public have traditionally favoured two states. So if Hamas disarms and disbands maybe they can be convinced Palestinian leadership doesn’t want to keep killing Jews, despite all the evidence to the contrary.
@BrianFlanagan1@JohnSimpsonNews Some basic history would tell you that Israel has agreed to a two state solution several times, on each occasion rejected or sabotaged by Palestinian leadership. But you prefer to spread the propaganda of a murderous, repressive, misogynistic and deeply bigoted jihadist regime.
@Rob_G1979@sam_bishop Tottenham have achieved their current spending power through consistent European qualification over the last two decades, low wage bills and investing heavily in alternative revenue streams. But you want them to sit tight while Newcastle catch up. Embarrassing.
@HughWoozencroft@turners121 So disingenuous of you. Spurs are obviously negotiating a double transfer. If City want to structure it a certain way that’s their issue. Tottenham’s priority is to get the deals done for a total sum that they’re prepared to pay, whatever the split.
