@jan_murray@BBCRadio4 Unexpected consequence of this is that mobility specific toilets, disabled toilets, are being increasingly designated disabled, baby change and now unisex. Putting more pressure perticulalrly on those in a wheelchair waiting to use a facility
There’s no doubt that Israel’s war in Gaza was not genocide. It is the least likely urban conflict in modern history to meet the standard legal definition of genocide.
And you don't have to take my word for it. Take the word of the High Level Military Group, the HLMG, which is a collection of all the of high level officers and generals from almost all the Western democracies in the world, not just the United States. These people aren't Jews. They have no connection with Israel. They're just generals in militaries around the world.
They wrote a report and a brief to the International Criminal Court, the ICC, saying that Israel’s civilian warning system is completely unlike anything any other country has ever been willing to do for the civilian population of an enemy in wartime. Under this system, Israel tells the civilian population of Gaza exactly where it will be striking the next day and then provides humanitarian corridors for them to leave those zones. They also say it is something our own democracies would never be able to do, because our civilian populations would never stomach endangering the lives of our own soldiers by warning the enemy where our sons and daughters will be.
Israel's unprecedented efforts to protect the lives of civilians in Gaza has taken a very heavy toll on the IDF. Over 800 Israelis have been killed in Gaza precisely because they warned the civilian population to get out of harm's way.
The word 'Islamophobic' has been invented by the Muslims to forestall any criticism
Funny that many people don't realise this
I could use the same tactic...
"I don't want any 'Cleesephobic' comments as they might upset me"
No tengo ningún problema con el islam. Simplemente estoy en contra de la decapitación, la lapidación, el matrimonio con niñas pequeñas, la esclavitud sexual, la taqiyya, la trata de esclavos, la violación, las conversiones forzadas, la yihad, el burka, los ataques a otras religiones, el abuso infantil, el abuso contra las mujeres, el maltrato animal, la poligamia, el asesinato, la sharia, el terrorismo, el lavado de cerebro, la intolerancia, la avaricia, el anticientificismo, la tortura, el analfabetismo, la glotonería, la mutilación genital y la endogamia. ¿Acaso eso me convierte en islamófobo?
This makes no sense, his acknowledgement of Nakba day was public and caused distress to many New Yorkers. This is a day that is a tragedy to some and a simple cause and effect to others. A problem caused by Arab governments not the fledgling state of Israel. He is biased. It really is as simple as that, all Arabs in 1948 could have stayed where they where and chosen to integrate. All jews would have been killed or at best expelled if the Arab countries had won the war. Prove me wrong
Yep good point, there are many good points on both sides of this difficult and nuanced area. The trans activists for me, really don’t help. Trying to force opinion through threat and politics is wrong. Decent good hearted people can sense when something is wrong or right. Behind the headlines I do believe an organic balance is being achieved - I pray for equilibrium of thought and action and I hear your concern
Afternoon so I have heard on the news that millions of 16-24 year olds are going to be unemployed and getting benefits ER now I am not a politician I am just a former boxer who is now trying to help people with mental Health & other issues but Why oh why doesn’t the benefits people make every 16-24 year old who does not have employment work at a charity or a gym so many hours a week get their attendance confirmed before they can have benefits it’s not quite national service but what a difference it would make.
Flashback: A Muslim scholar who openly calls for reforming Islam in order to end its war against the rest of humanity calls on the West:
“Deport all the jihadists who want to kill you. Stop tolerating Islam’s intolerance.”
I am really struggling with this. Stats are stats why play the race card. If the inhabitants of a certain town or city were 20x more likely to commit crime and cause social discord would we say calling out that stat was a hate crime, townism. Wtaf I just don’t get it. Problem solving 101 first step, identify the problem
I don’t think that, I’m just sharing lived experiences. The changing rooms I have used in shops never have open areas they are always cubicles. If it was an open area of course I don’t think men should be allowed. If there is mainstream shop in the uk that only has open areas for changing and is gender neutral that would be wrong but I don’t think there is.
Total respect, I wouldn’t describe them as cross fitting. I suppose I have always been used to female shop assistants, my wife daughter, coming in to advise on fit, bringing me a different size etc and I have done the same for my wife and of course that meant they where just fitting rooms not gender specific. My heart and sole are with you if you feel unsafe. I do hope we can all find a way through this. I know people who have had full surgery for gender dysphoria who now sit in that no person world and I am also aware of the weirdo predators. It’s a mess that needs sorting with compassion and sense.
