Capitalist arse fully on plate

Is it a plate of dead crustaceans?

And it’s no surprise you divert into that when everything Squid says is bang on and there really is no defending it.

Hold that.

"Divert" you say? OK. 

I simply appears to me that the people most losing their shit about Israel now are exactly the same people who've been losing their shit over Israel for most of my life in times of peace or strife.

19 new West Bank settlements “approved” by Israel today, in violation of international law.

And it appears to me that because they hand your arse to you time and again with pointing out painful truths, you default back to the ever tiresome “I’ll imply it’s down to anti semitism”. Whether people do or don’t over focus on Israel (compared to others who arguably wage genocide as well) doesn’t make the truth they are telling any less accurate.

Yes, but western progressives don't care about any of those disputes as much as they care about Palestine, do they? I wonder why that could be.

Is our government funding Sudan? Is our government sending weaponry to Sudan?
Does our government and opposition parties have significant proportions of people denying the suffering in Yemen and handwaving it away claiming Yemen has the right to defend itself?

Citizens from Sudan and Yemen require visa entry and part of that entry criteria would be background checks on military history including complicity in war crimes. Whereas genocidaires from the IDF are allowed to walk the streets of the UK.

Would the government and media claim that not allowing football hooligans from Sudan and Yemen to attend a football match in the UK was a terrible act of discrimination?

You know the answers to all these questions. Besides which, if you care about Sudan and Yemen so much, feel free to start a thread on it.


Shabby - our government doesn't support or sell arms to the junta Burma, whereas our government is directly supporting the genocide in Gaza.

The UK has significant security ties with Israel, (they supply us with arms and intelligence) We may have diplomatic ties with Sudan and Yemen, but the point is that literally thousands of men, women and children are getting killed every day and you don’t give a shit, but are all bent out of shape by Palestine, twas ever thus – antizionism is the new antisemitism

One of my oldest friends lives in Israel and his son is in the IDF, he can walk my road and stay at my house anytime he likes. He wont need a visa or special permission off you. The IDF are a magnificent fighting force, brave, intelligent, well led and are fighting a war that is not of their making. We should be developing a force like this in the UK and yet we have a bunch of cowardly far left pacifist types who can’t see the fucking wood for the trees. These people are not progressive Mr P they are a fucking huge pain in the arse
Banning the Macabi Tel Aviv fans from visiting Brum was nothing short of a factional antisemitic disgrace. The chief constable is an idiot and will undoubtedly lose his job. The Villa Safety advisory group has a prominent Labour cllr on it, he is a Muslim and a Villa STH who announced he would boycott the match if it were played  https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/ne...source=app
