His whole motivation appears to be stop protests they make me look bad and suck up to Trump. Amazing how quickly its turned into survival mode . The large majority was built on sand. With the Tories disappearing at an alarming rate this is a waste of an opportunity.
This argument can apply to many different things that are happening around the world and not just to this topic
It can but they also cannot see their double standards and lack of empathy unless it suits.
Time for a lot less friends?
Funnily enough, I don't see a single post from you in the Crumpsall synagogue attack thread but I see dozens of posts from you moaning in this thread and the Neville thread.
This is largely because it is predominately a political identity issue. You will never see them protesting against other injustices. On Palestine they have taken very troubling positions such as supporting the murderous Hamas or regimes such as Iran and the Yemen Houthis who systematically oppress their own populations. Iran has threatened to nuke Israel and has actively attempted to acquire nuclear weapons, an obvious threat of total genocide in itself.
You claim they aren't safe places but as we have seen recently, the numbers to arrests in each different protest suggests the far right aren't these middle aged angry white violent thugs as being suggested. I agree with a lot of that and I am the same where I can see the sense, justice and logic of different angles, not just my sole angle and ignore anything else. People have taken Palestine and made it their entire personality. A place they have no connection with, or choose to visit, or argue with their women and gay rights and how they live, or argue around Hamas. They cannot see that. I see it and I also see Israel committing the war crimes and they need stopping.
Palestine Action was proscribed so obviously there were going to be a lot of arrests. I don't think they should have been proscribed because aside from those who damaged those planes none of them are actual terrorists. A blind fella in a wheelchair holding a placard obviously isn't a terrorist.
It would actually do the people being arrested some good if they had a little bit of exercise and moved a bit quicker than they usually do.
No idea when Iran threatened Israel with nuclear weapons but any nuclear-armed country is threatening genocide.
I get why they are vocal about the Israel:Gaza issue, but I do get what you’re saying.
Just a quick point about the Ukraine Russia conflict. Ukraine is getting plenty of military assistance from the West which gives it a fighting chance. Russia meanwhile knows there are red lines it cannot cross. It can't for example do to Kiev what Israel has done to Gaza.
I agree, like my opening words said in my post ‘I get why they are vocal about the Israel:Gaza issue’… but I notice most how you didn’t make reference to my point about City, Mansour and the UAE govt.
Take your point. The arms industry is a huge money spinner and it's the powerful who buy stuff and use it against dissenting voices.
I think that's a bit selective to say the least. They have at least said that Israel won't exist in 25 years time, they've said that Israel is a cancerous tumor and they chant death to Israel. Iran faces no other threats except those created through its own actions so what else did they need a nuclear weapon for?
