    Fair questions. I don't think any of us have the answers!

    In case anyone is interested in Rabin's assassination, and Nuthead-yahoo's role in it. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/31/assassination-yitzhak-rabin-never-knew-his-people-shot-him-in-back

    This is very obviously the main barrier to peace. Right-wing nutters, with no intention of ever letting the Palestinians achieve statehood, have been in charge in Israel ever since Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated (by a Netanyahu-supporting, right-wing Jewish nutter) in 1995. Leah Rabin...

    It's heartbreaking just listening to those :cry:

    Thanks for your considered rebuttal. Have you ever wondered that the reason you have no meaningful responses to these posts may be that you have taken positions on Palestine and JC based upon your personal or religious biases, that don't stand up to any moral or intellectual scrutiny? Asking...

    You are so utterly wrong, you have to wonder if it isn't wilful. Think what you like of Corbyn, he isn't - nor has he ever been - "obsessed with Jews". His apparent 'mistake' was to criticise the Israeli government's behaviour, which, in turn, made him the target from right-wing Israelis...

    That doesn't really change the substance of my post, though. I'm not sure anyone knew exactly what the response was going to be, whether the Israeli govt is hardline right wing or otherwise. I, for one, didn't anticipate this level of retribution. Let's face it, none of us have any idea if...

    No, obviously we can all agree that an attack happened on the 7th of October. The points I would challenge are: Hamas got exactly the reaction they knew they would get The cowards then hide behind the skirts of women and the hospital beds of kids Utterly despicable cowards This is just...

    With respect, none of that is factual, though, is it? Can you provide sources and quotes to back up what you say? It's just your opinion, with some added invective. It's not a million miles from what you're accusing DDN of doing, in many respects.

    I honestly don't think anyone was trying to steer the thread in any direction, subtly or otherwise. If you don't like the direction you perceive the thread is going in then why not post something meaningful and persuasive to convince others of your viewpoint?

    Fair play, I can't really disagree with any of that.

    I completely agree with your first 3 statements. There are some things that some people are never going to agree on and, very obviously, this board can only influence the minds of the Brighton fans that frequent it. However, I do think it's a bit lazy to dismiss sources based solely on personal...

    I have to say, neither of you have engaged with any of the points made, either by the posters or in the videos they have posted. It appears that some people, when confronted with facts or opinions that oppose their own, simply resort to epithets and insults. It's not very intelligent or a...

    Yes that's fair enough although I think saying something is always better than saying nothing at all. 6 months ago the Palestinian cause had been mostly forgotten again. Even Norman Finkelstein, the world's #1 documenter of Israel's atrocities against the Palestinians, had all but given up on...

    Just circling back to this point for a second. You may pour scorn on her statement but I think it's vitally important that at least someone in Parliament has the courage to read this opinion into Hansard. We have 650 members of Parliament. The vast majority of them are spineless...

    Yeah I think that's all basically true. The UN is virtually an arm of the US govt. The UN was devised by the USA and its headquarters are in New York. The USA has only 4.3% of the worlds population yet contributes a whopping 28% of the UN's annual income. Obviously, the US is not doing this...

    I think it is necessary to point out the hypocrisy of the Israeli position and to spread this truth far and wide. I saw a short documentary years ago (I think it was on RT) where a bunch of Holocaust survivors were taken into Gaza via one of the military checkpoints, and at least one of them...

    My impression is that the goal is to kill everyone AND GET AWAY WITH IT, hence the longer time-frame.
