Well being a bit of an expert on one of those outlets content it was easy enough to decipher:

 

Police have arrested a man on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and dangerous driving following an incident after protests in Nottingham.

A video began circulating on social media following the incident, which took place in Fisher Gate at around 3pm on Saturday.

A man suffered leg injuries as a result of the incident, which remains under investigation.

Nottinghamshire Police have confirmed that a 51-year-old remains in police custody after being arrested on Sunday.

Could be Fisher Gate in Nottingham, could be Fisher in Poinsett County, Arkansas and either way its the arabs fault

They are right of course. Did they follow it up with "civilian areas must never be bombed for military purposes" ? 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Good to see a lot of Lefties unequivocally calling out those anti-Semitic pricks (and not allowing them to muddy the waters of the wholly justified criticism of Israel).

I think that might be slightly counter productive.

Why?

[Numero Veinticinco]

I encourage people to click that link of Ricos, see what else is said, then ask him why he didn’t link any of the other comments. Like this next tweet, for example. 
 

 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Given that Gaza is so densely populated, do the Israelis expect it to have a Media Quarter, a Hamas Quarter, a Schools Quarter, etc. all neatly demarcated?

To be fair he was only sharing the tweet.

Is it not something of a free pass?  Which is what they are hoping for.

Yes. One tweet. From a list of tweets he picked one tweet out. I linked some of the others under that comment. You have to query why somebody would pick one set of comments out from the rest, then only link that tweet.

I love the ignore function.

I love that you put me on ignore. Almost as much as I love how you feel the need to continually state how you’ve got me on ignore, as if you clicking a button somehow makes you morally superior. It genuinely sums you up as a person. Knowing that you actually read my posts and occasionally reply is funny. Rent. Free.

To be fair to Sasa, unless you are from the area and know exactly where that is or know what Nottingham looks like (before the report of 51 year old man being arrested was released) it could be anywhere in the country.

 

It's not very conclusive it was in Nottingham on that vid alone and not really conclusive that it is bad as it has been made out. Not to say that it hasn't happened, but I wouldn't put my whole backing into that video alone.

 

 

EDIT: And it's a twat of an accent.

So we can pretty much say the same about most videos ever posted online then?

It happened. 

 

And as far as your "EDIT" goes you are absolutely spot on. Not as bad as Derby but still awful.

Well we’re up to 105 pages now insulting each other re our opinions about a small war taking place thousands of miles away but I’m struggling to see any positive ideas. Does anyone have any genuine viable suggestions as to how this conflict could be resolved ?

A small war? It’s a well known major geopolitical issue that is the root of a lot of problems in the region. It’s not just a small war thousands of miles away, not when you consider the UKs interference and pivotal role in the formation of the country and continual role in supporting it. 
 

As for solutions, there’s a well known, well established, well detailed solution that has been on the table for a long time. I’m not sure what good would come from offering different, alternative solutions on TLW.

Let’s be realistic, nothing good comes from many of these conversations. Look at the beans on a fry up controversy. I’m just trying to understand what the possible answers are.  I don’t think there is a well established solution on the table so please summarise.

It's basically brummie but without the extra effort!

If you look at the number of deaths, it’s a tiny war historically. More people died in a single day in 9/11 than have been killed by the IDF in the last ten years. 5 million people died in the Congo wars (which were basically funded by the sale of rare earth materials to put in computers abs mobile phones), another 800,000 died in Rwanda, maybe 500,000 in Iraq. So yes I think it’s a tiny war in 20th century historical terms. Quite why it generates so much attention and anger compared to other more lethal conflicts is the question that nobody answers. 

Maybe it's the fact that whilst all those other wars had some sort of UN and or 'allied' involvement, the worlds stands by and lets Israel massacre innocent civilians without the threat of aggression in retaliation.

Well you should be yeah, all things should be questioned. Another example is that photo from that Echo article about that bellend Sine Missione. It's clearly a photoshopped picture (the sign and the font look too clean and fresh for a sign that's been out on a rainy day all day, and the hands holding the sign are small, at a strange height and out of proportion with the body that is holding it.

 

I know it has happened, I mentioned it in my post, you appear to be playing the man instead of the ball here.

 

Both fucking bad mate, both dead bad.

Not only is your last sentence wrong, I actually answered it in the post you quoted. You clearly don’t know much about this issue, judging by your comments about solutions, so I’m honestly not sure what the point is going over it. If you don’t even know about the solution that has been the subject of a number of UN resolutions, peace processes, and conferences, for 70 years, that is mentioned in most news reports and most debates, there’s just no point. The solutions are clear, the will to make it happen in governments is not.
