@AnitaKanani@COLRICHARDKEMP So it got India independence wrong too? Nehru saw an independent Muslim state might be more peaceful compromise. They are still at war today.
@DAaronovitch The timing of this is significant. E1 development doesn’t cut off E.Jerusalem. General election in 8 weeks. The Netanyahu block will be pointing to Europe saying ‘we told you they hate us - stick with me to keep you safe.’ Miliband is consolidating Israel’s right.
@RoryStewartUK@citrinowicz The Hamas position is ‘destroy Israel - kill all the Jews.’ How do you negotiate or stop war with a party who will not deviate from that.
@JohnSimpsonNews IDF has never been accused of the rape of women until Hamas proudly broadcast their activists raping Israeli women on Oct 7. Consistent with their need to inverse reality, they have to invent the rape charge for the IDF.
The funniest thing about the woke is how utterly interesting they think they are.
To the substantive point, Hamas doesn’t work for Iran. Hamas is Sunni, Iran Shia. They had a dramatic falling out over Syria. Neither works for the other.
But Hamas will, sooner or later, attack Israel again, believing the broader Iran-led muqawama is behind it, because Iran will have rearmed it and funded and helped plan that inevitable next attack. And both will behave this way for all time. It is all they are. It is the essential demand of their religious worldview.
The next war is thus guaranteed. And Hamas/Iran will ensure it. And the Matthews of the world are perfectly comfortable with that. Because in the ideological mushiness of present-day thirdworldist wokism, we’re all ideological constructs, not human beings.
My role in this vapid morality play is to die in ignominy, Hamas’s is to triumph over white colonialists, and the millions trampled along the way are barely even a footnote in the woke imagination. That’s how Iran’s vast crimes can be ignored, Hamas’s agency can be denied and any human suffering that doesn’t fit their one neat little conclusion can be safely tucked away as unimportant.
@DaleVince Dale you are such a naive innocent. The whole idea is to destroy the Jewish base and demonise Israel. Hamas could end the war tomorrow if it surrendered. Its Moslem Brotherhood ideology prevents it from that. It prefers sacrificing Arabs. It’s a tragedy of Hamas’ making
@LewisSJ@HenMazzig@Lyndagee49@TheBMA It has been for many years. Medical doctors are an arrogant bunch of people who are overpaid and given too much praise for performing a basic job I have paid a fortune to train them in.
@GillianLazarus It is very difficult for some people to reject over a thousand years of hatred. They can’t accept their founding fathers might have been wrong.
@debbiesimone123@ArchbishopSarah@novaexhibition I’ve worn mine several times already when I’m in my local city centre. I even went up to the we-hate-Jews demo that’s here every Saturday. No one recognised it!! They didn’t even know what the Nova Music Festival was.
@GillianLazarus Rumour has it that the Taoiseach is providing her with an M16 for her personal use if a Jewish person has the audacity to show up at one of her performances. (Ironic humour)
@KullunaGaza@CABO_BABY@mishtal@SadiqKhan Hamas tell you to kill the Jew behind the tree or under the stone. PA pay anyone big money as a reward for killing Jews. Iran pays agents across Western countries to attack Jews. Islamists murder Jews all round the world. It’s consistent racism against Jews. UK is no different.
@magsloft@AvivaKlompas There have been many British servicemen involved in war crimes. List them too. And Russian mercenaries. And Turkish soldiers. In fact it would be a long list - unless you want to restrict his lost to Jews only. Smacks of 1930s Germany this Green Party.
@mishtal These women stand for everything I am against - no freedom of speech, degrade women, homosexuality capital crime, no rule of law, anti-democracy. Everything that has earned us the right to exchange opinions here.
