I see Israelis settlers* in the West Bank are continuing they’re campaign of terror ** against Palestinians with the apparent acquiescence of the IDF.

* illegal settlements, the illegality of which is ignored.

** does that make them ‘terrorists’?

I’m sure Sunak and Starmer will be issuing a statement condemning this.

According to the UN's humanitarian office, the week that followed Hamas's murderous attack was the deadliest for Palestinians in the West Bank since it began reporting fatalities in 2005, with at least 75 Palestinians killed by the Israeli military or settlers, and incidents of settler violence up from an average of three a day to eight. 

In one raid on a Palestinian refugee camp, and a rare air strike in the region, on Thursday 12th, Israeli forces killed at least 12 people, Palestinian officials said, and Israeli police said one officer was killed.

 

Can the quantum minds of P&B confirm if it’s okay to use the phrase Israeli settlers?

Reckon all climate change protest will be considered antisemitic by the end of next week.

Just to be safe I am going to carry around a large folio of all anti-Semitic propaganda from the last two centuries which I will study at length before taking any photographs of myself. It's simply the only way to be sure

Are we absolutely certain that the act of taking a photograph isn’t antisemitic in itself?

I think a one state solution is not feasible here. Imagine the scenes. Roughly 8 million Jews and 6 million Muslims, who absolutely hate and despise each other.

Would be civil war by lunchtime on the first day. 

That attitude led to the partition of India into a supposedly Muslim bit (or two bits) and a supposedly not so Muslim bit.  Nowadays these bits are fierce rivals and have nuclear weapons pointed at each other.  The idea that nations should be defined purely on religious grounds is a bad one.

I can also think of another place much closer to Scotland.

There's an old trope that Jews don't have reflections, so racists would take Polaroids of people they suspected of having Jewish heritage to see if they showed up in the picture.

That reads like something that could have actually happened TBH.

Glasgow?

Of course, we all know that Birmingham is segregated into Muslim and non-Muslim areas now. Thanks Fox News!

Any feasibility of a 2 state solution was wrecked years ago and getting more obviously so every day.

So your choice is you either have two countries at war with each other, or you have one country in a civil war. Ultimately when two populaces have such a bitter hatred of one another then it’s almost impossible to have them peacefully co-exist.

I’m not sure there is any “feasible” solution here. As I mentioned elsewhere it’s surely impossible to have two populations that both want one another dead peacefully co-exist.
