Saying you believe more Jews should speak out against Israel isn't antisemitic. I mean, how could you arrive at that conclusion. Hating Jews because they're Jews is antisemitic. Asking for Jewish people to speak out against the crimes of a 'Jewish state', the creation of which was to protect them from horrendous crimes and give them somewhere to live, isn't antisemitic. It's about credibility and not being able to be charged down with cried of antisemitism. I mean, the Jewish people have been the recipients of some truly horrendous crimes, the last thing we need to do is water down the meaning of antisemitism so that any time somebody says something it is brought up. Most of all, we shouldn't water it down by attempting to deflect criticism of Israel or its government by shouting antisemitism. There are legitimate reasons to despise how Israel acts, and most people object to it for those reasons and nothing to do with Jewishness.

Yeah, from the right angle I guess.

He is around I think? I regret going so hard on him with this thread. He’s a decent enough guy and I shouldn’t have been quite as rude as I was. I don’t regret ripping some of the absolute wank on this thread though.

Yeah. That was a highlight. Honestly, I just haven’t got the drive to rip people anymore. The Guest posted something in the political thread the other day that I could have just gone balls deep in, but I shrugged it off because, if I’ve learned something from TLW... it doesn’t make a shit worth of difference.

He is very knowledgeable, there’s no doubt about that. Very experienced too. He’s a bit of a cock though.

Clumsy as fuck. But I don’t think they amount to rape apology.

Mayans MC is fucking WANK.

Oh aye, that’s why. Not because he apologised for racism or has prejudice towards 25% of the world. Funny that you have such different standards based on whether somebody is Jewish or not.

The country, but regardless of that he was there trying to save lives. Probably not the best idea to call him a fat cunt, like.

Oh yeah? Based on what?

Certainly won’t be disappearing without a trace.

Galloway, anti-Israel to the max. Long term labour MP expelled over the Iraq war, ripped New Labour a new one. Met with Saddam Hussein to convince them to let weapons inspectors in and to stop the oil for food scheme that cost lots of lives. Is controversial in the same ‘likes terrorists’ way that Corbyn is. Ripped the arse out of America in the senate. Good orator, very good, but a bit of a demagogue.

Labour aren’t going anywhere.

And I’m sure you’ll look at the claims, that are made after his death so that he can defend himself against them, critically and fairly rather than take the word of someone who waited until the person couldn’t defend themselves and believe every word of it because you want to.

Yes, but that's not interesting to me. I know how they get their polling votes. Getting 14% of the votes for 11 MPs out of 650 would be... impressive.

No. Sorry. I made my mind up.

Because he hates Jews?

I have to neg that, it's pretty much laced with the view that it's anti-semitic. A low blow.

It'd be interesting to know how those handful of MPs could get 14% of the vote.

I think a midfield with Fabinho, Keita, and Gini looks good. Milner and Henderson for certain types of games. I’d like Rabiot.

Aye but not hiding, was he? I found that a weird comment. I think he was positionally not great. I feel like he needs a goal and some confidence.

They are now. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens then.

Well, the Tories that left voted against her whilst in her government, didn’t they? It’d be strange for them to leave so they can vote with them?

It’s pretty funny, to be honest.

Fucking hell.
