It’s a view held by many, but not all. He is right to say that the right to protest should be respected, alongside the rights of others to peacefully remember be respected by any protesting. This seems to have understood by everyone involved, the police included, with the exception of those minorities intent on confrontation. I don’t though see why protesters should be condemned for campaigning against the whole concept of the state of Israel. It was a political construct and political constructs can be reversed, however unlikely that might be in reality. It’s not anti-Semitic to do so. It’s anti-Zionism. If a reasonable compromise is ever going to be found then both sides must state their ultimate positions before there is any way of knowing where the middle is. I think that’s all that’s involved here. The ultimate local position of the government of Palestine (Hamas) is to destroy the state of Israel and kill all Jews and their wider ultimate position is to create a worldwide Islamic Caliphate. The ultimate position of Israel is to destroy Hamas, free Israeli hostages and protect themselves. You appear to share, or at the least lend tacit support to, the ultimate objective of Hamas in destroying the state of Israel. Edited by georgenorman (12 Nov 2023 9.12am)

Edited by georgenorman (12 Nov 2023 9.12am) I think it's the unhindered slaughter of the Palestinian population, razing of communities, destroying hospitals and refugee camps, cutting off food, water, medical and electricity supplies. These might just be a tad war-crime (ish).

Hamas to an extent, was created by Israel. It financed the Palestinian Islamist movement, viewing it as a "counterweight" to the secularist Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat (who himself referred to Hamas as "a creature of Israel."

Divide and rule. Edited by steeleye20 (12 Nov 2023 10.39am) What was actually different about Hamas? They were legitimately elected by the Palestinians but as far as I'm aware, not on a terrorist agenda. People want jobs and quality of life not insecurity and violence. How Hamas expected to achieve the former by attacking Israel in the way that they did beggars belief. What are we doing in the area with a detachment of Marines, 2 hospital ships and onboard helicopters? Is this humanitarian assistance on stand by and are we expecting a ceasefire at some point?

Gaza gives them a recruiting ground It's just a terrible situation, Fatah would be a much better

'A cabinet reshuffle will not change the fatal consequences of a continued refusal to call for a ceasefire. It will not mask our government's complicity in the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. And it will not stop us demonstrating for a just and lasting peace.' Jeremy Corbyn today.

I was just thinking today, if only Israel and everyone else were aware of Corbyn marching around, this highly complex, long running saga might come to an end. There may be hope after all.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |
