A tweet I've just seen that is absolutely spot on, I'll post the words as it won't embed.  

 

Did you notice how Israel started to lie as much as it was massacring Palestinians and now no one is focused on the actual atrocities it perpetrates but instead busy trying to debate…? They always, ALWAYS do this…

 

Good point. Its taken the focus away from the here and now.

Was listening to a podcast today and this quote popped up...seems relevant to this discussion.

The meeting the leaders of Hamas bit is probably untrue. It’s the Jewish Chronicle, after all! 
 

It’s quite interesting to see a newspaper that supports the “only democracy in the Middle East” not supporting the democratic right to legitimate protest in the country in which their paper is circulated.

To be fair, it's some fanatically religious dickheads attacking some poor sod in his house. It happens worldwide every day.  Not that it's right but it's hardly Israel attacking their own people in their homes as your post insinuates is it.

I said Israel not the IDF.

They lie and lie and lie and lie.

Six campaign groups are organising the march. Leaders in four of them — the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), the Friends of al-Aqsa, the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) and the Palestinian Forum for Britain (PFB) — have had apparent ties with Hamas or have expressed sympathy for its views.

Up until this incident were there many parsing their support for Palestine with that of Hamas?

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I’m guessing that an accurate article saying that these people met people from the political wing of Hamas in 2012, when only the military wing was proscribed, with the political wing of Hamas not being proscribed as a terrorist organisation until November 2021 wouldn’t get as many headlines though? 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

In other news, a Dutch appeal court has recently passed a judgment stating that the “From the River to The Sea” song isn’t antisemitic and should be protected speech. Their rationale was that claiming that the song is about the mass killing of Jewish people isn’t necessarily the only interpretation of the song and that the words “relate to the state of Israel and possibly to people with Israeli citizenship, but do not relate to Jews because of their race or religion”.

 

Other countries have differing opinions but, you’d like to think that a Tory free speech advocate like Suella Braverman would follow the Dutch approach?*
 

*that was sarcasm, by the way.

Whatever the political problem you can always rely on Michael Gove to make it a whole lot worse.

The hospital's correct name is "Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital," but it appears that the word "Baptist" was intentionally omitted and replaced with “Arab”.

No, it’s not, habibti.

 

It was known as that in the 80’s when it was sponsored by missionaries as a cursory Google will show.

 

Facts, eh?

I remember the slating the French took in the states when they refused to join Dubya's laughingly titled 'coalition of the willing'.

 

Michael Moore was one of the many who described the French at that time as the USA's best friend as they were making them face up to uncomfortable truths.

 

Its as correct now as it was then.

You’re right habibi. I should have double checked.
 

Arab media are referring to it as Al Ahli Babtist hospital. It appears that this is the common name rather than the official name.

So, there you go. Forty years ago, you would have been right.

They need to knock that ridiculous “if you’re not backing EVERY single thing that Israel do then you’re backing Hamas”rhetoric on the head. It doesn’t stand up to the smallest amount of scrutiny. But, right wing bigots and dickheads in the UK are buying into it and it risks causing divisions and violence here and in other countries too.

Does the truth really matter or change anything?
