This topic, along with modern economic concepts (complete globalisation of wealth, tax, emissions/climate control policies), simply comes down to a binary choice of whether one is a transhumanist or not... Are we, the human race, better off (a totally subjective concept) following the lead of vastly powerful and unimaginable wealthy technocrats who ultimately 'know best', or best to follow our natural instincts and strive towards more autonomy and less government?? I can't help but think certain things are simply inevitable - once electricity had been invented, was it not inevitable we would end up with this looming AI conundrum?? Once caravaggio, the renowned renaissance painter, had infamously used a prostitute as a model for the virgin Mary, would we not end up with Tracy emin's dirty used bed being hailed as a post modern masterpiece?? The same line of thought could be used to understand many controversial modern standpoints - the feminist movement culminates eventually in all men being misogynistic bigots. How could this end any other way? Climate agenda - it is not just enough to be interested in making things that last, or use rainwater where possible, or grow some easy veg for your family for example, oh no you must be classed as evil and or totally ignorant if you don't lust after a massively overweight and inefficient electric car charged by coal! The sexual revolution debate - ultimately ended up in cutting off breasts of minors to prove a point to exactly who?? My point being, its just what's fashionable that dictates what is easily said or not so easily said. The case with the more 'woke' amoung us, is that they feel 'safe' and 'good' spouting what they have been told, and have therfore confused that with being correct. It's a very subconscious, human mistake to make. Peace out.

that is an interesting post - to grasp the whole history of the Arabs and the Jews back to before Jerusalem would take a while and give a better perspective. I know Jews throughout the world have faced pogroms, but during the Crusades europeans murdered plenty of Arabs. The history that is being written now - Netanyahu is a modern day crusader - slaughtering Arabs and stealing their land

That one was sheer luck. I don't have a go daily but when I do if I get nowhere by line 4 I give up and most of the time I forget to get back to it.

It's important to correctly define the sides. On one we have Netanyahu and the IDF, supported by the US. On the other we have Hamas the terrorists, supported by Iran. On no side at all we have the vast majority of the ~66,000 innocent civilian casualties, Gazan and Israeli. Of them, the lion's share are victims of the IDF.

Very possible to do that. As long as we arn't all looking at the conflict with rose tinted glasses, I reckon a lot of people will think the same

I think it’s possible to hate both sides equally. They’re both warmongering murdering bastards.

Have you considered starting a Cycle convoy to Palestine? "Peddles for Palestine" sounds catchy,you could let your home to some migrants while you were gone and seek sponsorship for your carbon neutral quest? I could be responsible for your PR,we could sell branded Cycles with catchy names , Shemah scarfs and AK47 shaped key rings.

No indeed. It goes back at least to the Roman Empire. They indeed were (if I remember rightly) the ones who came up with the word Palestine (a corruption of the biblical Phillistines) in what was Judaea. Yes the Israelites have been persecuted for thousands of years,

This war didn’t start two years ago or when Hamas where created in 1987.

It is not a bleating Mike, but there is a lot of one sided - and inaccurate posting on here - so for the sake of balance what is above is noting what is not reported on this forum as much. However I suspect that most in Palestine would like to live in Palestine... in their homes... without fear... as any civilian might (this also covers The Ukraine which whose civilians have also suffered)

Half right of course, we should be wary of what both sides are telling us, in this conflict neither are coming out as shining examples of humanity.

Mmmm well the people of the Gaza Strip are in a pickle then. Maybe they should have considered this before they slaughtered Jews two years ago and plastered it all over social media. OK, I know there are innocent people caught up in all this, but we should all be wary of blindly accepting what Hamas tell us. When they state that the majority of the casualties are women and children it reminds me of that stupid British politician who said that most of the small boat crossings from France to the UK are women and children. And don’t get me started on the Hamas offshoot called UNRWA.

Hang on a minute. There's etiquette to be observed here: you can't just waltz in only when you get a belter like than. It's not all about the glory!

Fake news. Teeny Tommeh would never go balls-deep with a genocidal regime. When I look at Haty Kopkins, all I see is Bonnie Blue on ugly pills.

Funded by Israel, never.

Why dont you petition Egypt instead of bleating on here? Lots of room in Egypt for Palestinians,integrate seamlessly I would imagine.

Isreal has banned all foreign reporters from entering Gaza.

All the borders are closed, which is why the residents cannot leave Gaza. Trapped. Some aid can get in but that is it.

Migrant faces ‘real risk of destitution’ if removed to France, High Court told APPLE.NEWS The legal challenge comes as reports suggest deportations of migrants under the deal with France are yet... Now hang on a second here I thought these poor little cherubs were escaping death and destruction 🤷‍♂️no apparently it’s the risk of destitution now !! ( something all self employed risk under this administration)I guess benefits in France ain’t so good. That in a nutshell sums up the whole farcical situation and utterly destroys the shite you hear spouted from the the libtard fools mouths.

Truth Against Hate: "Tommy Robinson: A Manufactured Rebel with Powerful Friends Tommy Robinson is sold as the streetwise voice of ordinary Britain, a man supposedly standing up against the establishment. Yet his rise was anything but grassroots. The English Defence League (EDL), which he co-founded in 2009, did not spring from working-class frustration alone. Evidence suggests it was shaped and steered by bigger interests, making Robinson less a rebel and more a manufactured figurehead. Nick Griffin, then leader of the British National Party (BNP), revealed in 2013 that his party had been approached back in 2007 by American neoconservatives with a lucrative offer. The deal was blunt. Drop antisemitism, stop attacking the banking system, and focus all energy on Muslims. Griffin claims he refused, and within two years Robinson’s EDL emerged pushing exactly that line. The implication is clear. When Griffin declined to redirect his politics, another vehicle was built that would . Academics such as David Miller have documented how pro-Israel interests were involved in shaping the EDL, ensuring its hostility targeted Muslims rather than Jews. Roberta Moore, an Israeli-Jewish extremist, even managed part of the EDL’s business through Companies House, before breaking away to form the UK wing of the Jewish Defence League. Far from being a working-class uprising, the EDL was retooled into a pro-Israel, anti-Muslim street movement that collapsed in 2014 but left Robinson with a ready-made platform. Today, the pattern continues. Robinson still plays the anti-Muslim card while cultivating the support of wealthy and influential figures abroad. Steve Bannon, Donald Trump’s former strategist, has openly promoted Robinson as a hero of “the movement.” Elon Musk has provided him with an uncritical platform on X, giving Robinson visibility he could never buy for himself. These are not ordinary allies. They are billionaires and power brokers, using Robinson to push their own battles in the culture war. The truth is stark. Robinson is not an anti-establishment warrior. He is a tool, fashioned by others, whose role is to redirect anger onto Muslims while keeping his powerful backers’ interests safe. His followers believe they are fighting the system, but in reality they are serving it. Robinson’s politics have not changed since the EDL. Only his sponsors have. And here is the uncomfortable truth for anyone still chanting “Free Tommy.” If Robinson were really a danger to the establishment, the billionaires and media bosses would have crushed him years ago. Instead, they hand him a megaphone. You are not part of a rebellion. You are being used as foot soldiers in someone else’s game, fighting battles for men who would never fight for you."
