Meanwhile in Israel

[London Wanderer]

Astonishing how many Israeli's now speak openly about their plans to ethnically cleanse the areas they live in. And just how emboldened they are by the current government. There are simply no longer any meaningful deterrents for these kind of views. See the lass at 4:50 who casually says how they're going to make all of Jerusalem Jewish and wipe out the Mosques. 

Obviously she doesn't represent all Israeli's, but it's frightening how much power these extremists now have.  

It is interesting hearing her talk about the historic persecution of the Jewish people. It's not a defence, but it some ways you can understand why that has led to such a defensive 'never again' mentality. It just seems to have turned some of them into monsters as well.

Though arming Israel is as likely to win votes as it is lose them

Israel should be armed for self defence purposes. But that support should be withdrawn currently and sanctions/arrest warrants brought in for the relevant people. I can accept it's a complex line but committing to a two state solution and arresting settlers would be one the most effective ways Israel could defend itself.

Great article by Bowen.  Speaks for itself really.

But it's the BBC. So it will be instantly dismissed as Hamas propaganda. Them's the rules these days! It doesn't matter what the message is. It only matters who is saying it. We are regressing as a species.

Shit - I'm not supposed to be commenting on this thread. It's not been good for my mental health/faith in humanity. Ignore me! 😁

I know.  Nearly didn’t bother posting it myself as we all know on here what each other will say, and I’ll be accused yet again from certain quarters about being an anti-Semite terrorist sympathiser yet again 🙄. What’s going on in plain sight in Gaza is truly that awful though it would be a crime to ignore……(and yes RW/Bolty 7/10 was an awful crime as well).

He comes across as the most biased reporter on this subject we have seen. Even worse than the two Irish doom mongers if that's possible.

Just another red working at the Labour Partys greatest ally.

Baby steps, but positive news in this tweet on aid trucks and meal distribution in Gaza. If the maths are right that’s 5 meals for each person in the last 2 weeks. They’ve never had it so good.

Would be nice to have independent verification of this of course - a good start would be letting the international media in to witness and report first hand. No harm in that surely? We’d know the truth was being spoken?

😂 - when you say 'biased' - I think what you actually mean is that he reports things you'd rather not hear.

Anyway - give over making me comment on this thread again.

I think to be fair it’s the IDF who are the masters of selfies 😄

 Their soldiers have been disciplined right, left & centre for it.

No, I mean biased. We turn it off when it's him or the other two reporting.

See I use an app called Ground News to try and make sure I read different perspectives on the same stories. 

And the BBC is listed as as straight down the middle in terms of bias as it's possible for a news organisation to be.....

By Bolty’s logic that’ll make Ground News anti semitic terrorist sympathisers 😄

Apart from the fact that he’s a biased, lying, terrorist sympathising, Hamas-supporting anti-Semite. Obviously.

Bolty doesn’t think we need universities.

Bolty thinks everyone should be learning how to use a lathe at the age of 14.

No doubt he also proclaims Britain to have the finest universities in the world.

He makes Joe Biden look sharp up top.
