Egypt have refused Israel’s ‘offer‘ to reopen the Rafah Egypt/Israel border crossing - Israel had offered to reopen the Gaza side of the border to ‘let Palestinians flee into Egypt’ and on condition that Israel take over the security of the Gaza border ( currently managed by the PA) once Israel...

Then apologies for the confusion because it looked like you were disagreeing with me because you quoted my post in your earlier comments - If you are ‘well aware of my viewpoint’ then you will know that I have been saying exactly this for months so we are on the same page 👍

Not sure why you were quoting my post here - are you confusing me with someone that supports Netanyahu? Edit - that said I don’t wish a horrible death on anyone and of course I don’t think, speaking as a Jew, that anyone compares to a man that sent 6 million Jews to the gas chamber or had...

Israeli activists with the help of sympathetic security services have for months blocked aid en route to Gaza intended to alleviate what is now a full blown famine in the North of Gaza, according to UN...

Indeed. Accusing those standing up for the rights of Palestinians of antisemitism also conflates the Government of the State of Israel with the Jewish race and Judaism. One of the problems here I think is the polarisation of the argument by people who engage in the issue - I am pro-Israel but...

Then what are all the personal attacks on my ethnicity and barbs about - can’t you just state your POV without the unnecessary unpleasantness? I get you disagree with my POV on the situation in Gaza but I’m not stopping you from arguing your own POV or even trying to change your mind on...

I have it on good authority that Harry is past the stage of saluting indefatigability, he would tell me to give up 😂 I agree on your other point - but both sides can still state their alternative ‘facts’ without resorting to personal attacks when they feel out ‘argued’. 🤷‍♂️

I’m not getting into a slagging match over your offensive remarks about my Jewish identity - you have no right to question me about that or gaslight me because you disagree with my opinions. If you can’t see that posting remarks designed to ’cancel’ someone’s Jewishness is antisemitic, I can’t...

I think you need to. That’s a very revisionist idea of history you’re posting. The actual history has been posted numerous times on this thread yet you keep posting erroneous information. So again; The Balfour Declaration is widely seen as the precursor to the 1948 Palestinian Nakba when...

Wow - extraordinary behaviour in response to the UN voting to give Palestinians more rights

Me too but credit where credit is due - fancy the Israeli Government knowing exactly how many terrorists they have killed but no idea of the number of civilian casualties - or they know but aren’t saying. If the IDF is apparently so good at avoiding civilian casualties, then let’s have the...

Just to revert to this earlier point - Biden admits that US weapons have been used to kill civilians in Gaza. In a move widely seen as Biden not wanting to risk further alienating Democratic supporters (especially the student vote which will be critical in key marginal States) over Israel...

Yes, true but as @Westdene Seagull says; Netanyahu will not call an election (or will be forced to) while Israel is at war with Gaza, so by refusing ceasefires/any peace deal, the ongoing war ensures he clings on to power - by the time he is ousted from power, it will be too late for tens of...

Nor does Netanyahu- so what is your point? And who is currently closer to implementing their version of a one state ‘solution’ over the other...

It’s a deal that was brokered by Qatar and Egypt who have been mediating these proposals from the start with US input - Both Israel and Hamas have been bouncing them back with conditions of their own. Hamas’s main condition has been to end the fighting/for IDF to withdraw from Gaza. Israel on...

That’s a brilliant Guernica tapestry!

As I posted a few days ago - that’s not in dispute but your whole argument has been in trying to get Starmer to admit it and call him out for hypocrisy (as per the X tweet you posted above) 🤷‍♂️

The UK Government doesn’t supply arms directly to Israel but does approve the licences for private companies to export weapons - therefore, neither Starmer nor Sunak are likely to admit that Israel is committing war crimes as that would self-criminate the UK in the eyes of the ICJ - it is...

Just to be clear, I not planning or proposing anything 🙂 I am just saying, the electorate has more power now, this year when both the UK and the US are having GEs that protest can be effective in influencing voting behaviour - at the end of the day, all politicians in a liberal democracy rely...
