Meanwhile in Israel

Last Saturday, I coincidentally walked in the opposite direction past the march along Deansgate and St. Peter’s St. It was noticeable that the people in the bars, cafe’s and pedestrians along the route didn’t give a shit. Including the patrons of Alberts Schloss where I eventually ended up. 
The media lap it up though. 

Any radicals selling squishes mate?

Actually yes. Coincidence? Didn’t see any in Bolton or Wigan today. That’s where I’ve been today. On the train. That’s another story😉

I’m with you. Absolutely outraged (in a Daily Mail sort of way) at M&S trashing the traditional Christmas.

 Took me a moment 

Can't even be sure if it's meant to be pro or anti Palestine 

It's probably pro

But they can tell the Jews they are burning the flag 

Something for everyone

Made me smile, though I can see why some may not be impressed. 

The big issue isn't with the advert though, but the burning of the hats.

It was made in August, but apparently it's offensive to Palestinians. 

M&S should just have stuck to their guns and not issued an apology for something they haven't done.

I suppose their Jewish origins might not help, but they simply shouldn't be cowering to a mob of perma-offendees.

[Gonk]

It was filmed back in August way before all this kicked off. Green red and silver are traditional Christmas colours.

Anybody making a connection to a Palestinian flag really needs to get off the internet

Still wondering 😁

It's about as much of a coincidence as that M&S advert is. 

The idea that either of them are deliberate is bonkers. 

Never had you down as the perma-offendee type 😉

I see the ground offensive has begun

Created a north and south divide. Fairly obvious what the Israelis are trying to achieve militarily.

 

Edit. If I was a Hamas supporter, I’d be calling for a ceasefire right now.

same. I feel that strongly I’m boycotting all shops

[Zico]

If I was M&S I'd follow up with them burning Christmas tree toppers as per the star of David 

They won't though 

Because of their Jewish background 

So it was obviously deliberate 

Filmed in August? It's not like the conflict started on October the 7th 

About as coincidental as Greta's octopus

I feel sorry for that Zelensky chap. 

Rumour has it he's just sat at Kiev bus stops asking for a billion dollars in aid right about now and getting nowhere. 

Such a fall from grace.

Zelenskyy.

Kyiv. 

It’s not aid. It's support for the front line of defence. The support is constant and will continue. Not sure where you get your info from. Russia?

He's not on the news anymore. No wonder I've forgotten how to spell his name. 

Apologies for triggering you on spelling mistakes. 

I'll try harder to find chicken kyiv in aldi tomoz. 

Didn't know front line support was still needed because we're all focused on that bit of sand Jesus was ALLEGEDLY born in

A massive problem when one half of a war is populated with folk who don’t fear death is that they’ll fight to the last man. They also don’t value the lives of their families and death potentially adds a bit of kudos.
 

That’s pretty much what we’re up against, isn’t it?

[Ani]

I think the best comment I have heard regarding a ceasefire is that it is a agreement from 2 sides to stop fighting.

Who will agree for Hamas and unless it includes the return of all hostages what exactly are they 'ceasing'

Aye, if you're a Hamas supporter you're either in Hamas or 100% behind what they've done so far 

They aren't backing down and this Israeli offence is more than likely what they expected to happen when they kicked this latest episode off 

None of this will be a surprise or feel like a threat to Hamas supporters 

If it were possible, the rest of Palestine should be calling for a ceasefire

But they don't have much say 

And they are the ones who will more than likely die 

Collateral damage all round
