I have come to the conclusion that Twitter is the final proof that multiple universes exist and it is the gateway between those universes.
It is the only explanation for a vast number of tweets and the only way those tweets make any sense
Only question is which one am I in?๐
@djfindus@nicolelampert My humanity is in good shape thank you unlike the criteria for genocide which is now a shadow of its former self having been traduced by the pro Palestinian lobby in a similar way to the terms Apartheid and Colonialism
Roy Hattersley was a giant of the Labour movement.
Through decades of service, including as deputy leader and a minister, he never lost his belief in a more equal Britain.
My thoughts are with his wife Maggie and his family.
@djfindus@nicolelampert no, largely we agree on the definition of terrorism but you descriptions of the actions are simplistic and reductive. Throwing paint on a military plane, having broken into a military base is terrorism. Smashing up drones in the UK because of a supposed genocide could be
@TonyGreenstein Thank you Mr Greenstein for completely demonstrating my argument. The mere use of the term 'Zios' illustrates your own bigotry and racism and that together with the overbearing patronising 'socialist' tone was just perfect
@djfindus@nicolelampert Because in that occasion they got it wrong. My opinion is that they should have been convicted and charged under terrorism laws
@BenJamal48 'illegitimate political activity' are you serious!!
Besides have you seen some of the muslim sermons posted on here
There is no right to protest breaking IHL when IHL has not actually ben broken, as in the case of the non existent genocide in Gaza
@djfindus@nicolelampert as far as I am ware Iran is not an ally of the UK
but more crucially this was not an act of protest it was direct action, an attack on said company and police
@ObserverUK@kenanmalik I was talking about the sentencing and what it said.
You conflate direct action with protest, they are completely different. The basis of direct action in most cases is illegality and has consequences
That was my point
@ObserverUK@kenanmalik its stops no-ones ability to demonstrate nor challenges civil liberties
it says that direct action has consequences, violence against police officers and property has consequences and your political beliefs do not minimise those consequences as they should not
@Tracking_Power where Mr Miller is this genocide? certainly not in Gaza or Lebanon. nor in the west bank
of course the reality is that without the genocide your whole argument disappears into the hate fest that it in reality it is
@Peston in your dreams
The popular opinion in the minute group of political commentators is that Burham is a shoe in to replace Starmer
Should he succeed Burnham will be constrained by the same mandate and party as Starmer, together with the hostility of that minute group of commentators
@deepa_driver people with consciences don't attack the police with sledgehammers
Also the suffragettes understood there could be consequences to their direct action and did not expect popular opinion to get them off
@ShockatAdam but they were convicted and hence its not a miscarriage of justice
as for the genocidal state nonsense, the only genocide was the one attempted by Hamas on Oct 7
There is not nor has been a genocide in Gaza
