Quote legaleagle at 29 Jul 2014 6.57pm
You have hit a nail on the head, generally, about many of us. Do the ends justify the means or not? Are we against British military intervention/military aid in principle anywhere to help topple a repressive group/regime, or are we only opposed to it sometimes where it isn't against a regime/group we feel should be toppled, let alone all the grey areas in the middle? Many of us contradict ourselves when we take positions on issues like this, and that's not a "left" or a "right" thing...

It is pathetic for you say anything different. Sorry did you say something that wasn't sniping? Gusset I have asked you repeatedly what was the alternative to Saddam being removed from power and you have said you don't know. So, therefore, you are against slaughter yet against removing those perpetuating slaughter. What do you propose for sorting out the Middle East, other than continually offering 'solidarity' and expressions of 'despair' at what is going on? Please tell us. As for the nuke thing earlier, even a man of your intelligence could realise that was a joke. And I have said the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq is probably going to cause more problems for us in the West than not invading. The rise of ISIS will cause many problems This most likely is an unintended consequence. However many people did say that the invasion would cause issues afterwards . Project it into Palestine Nick, its an interesting one to ponder.We help topple the Israelis. ISIS later (after all Israel is part of the Levant) take over much of the whole area including Palestine.... But we shouldn't be trying to get one side or the other to 'win'. The ultimate aim should be a 2 state solution, which neither side seems to want at the moment.

You need to stop reading SWP pamphlets and think for yourself Gusset.

Project it into Palestine Nick, its an interesting one to ponder. We help get the Israelis out of West Bank/Gaza. ISIS later (after all Palestine is part of the Levant) take over much of the whole area including Palestine.... It's a very difficult one and in some ways similar to the Iraq one.

However, it's only fools who support the modern removal of Israel..Still fools can waffle all they like because no western government is ever going to back their anti Israeli rhetoric or back efforts to weaken it when it is surrounded by enemies. The alternative to Israel? Those who argue it would be a huge problems are right.....Undemocratic anti western extremists would rush to fill the void. Besides no outside agency could disband Israel without something like genocide, just as no outside agency could disband Iran for example. It would have to be hugely expensive and controversial and what would replace Israel? Not only that we would then have to deal with Jewish extremists to add to the Islamic ones we already have.

We might not like this ring wing Israeli government at the moment. People may be against Israeli actions......Rational arguments can be produced about the injustice of 47 (and it was).
