oneteaminglasgow Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Obviously a journalist can’t ‘admit’ to military policy as such, but still not a great look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, are Israel's propaganda department massive Gaspar Noe fans or something? Their promotional material is like sitting through the credits to Irreversible or Enter the Void, but sadly with no pounding techno. and in the past Golda Meir (?) , amongst others , was giving it " there are no such things as Palestinians " 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I still feel fucking disgusted by our government backing genocide. I know the tories are low, but f**k me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I haven't followed any of this in the news because what's the point. All I've really seen is stuff posted in this thread. On the telly this morning there was footage of one of the Israeli guys giving a speech at the UN. "We are not dealing with human beings. We are dealing with monsters." What's the point indeed. The sooner I win the lottery and can go and live in seclusion at least 100 miles from anyone else the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany doing completely normal things. Said “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” which some construe to be anti-Semitic. The rationale is that you’re saying Israel shouldn’t exist which in turn means you want all the Jews there killed/expelled. I personally think it’s a massive stretch to assume that is what is meant by that statement and is an utterly ridiculous thing to sack someone for, but the Germans tend to be (perhaps understandably) complete shitebags when it comes to anything to do with criticism of Israel. 13 minutes ago, Trogdor said: What did his initial statement say?

Understandable? Maybe. But surely they should be equally understandable of authoritarianism and repression of speech. After all these were fundamental tactics for Hitler whilst he was building up to his genocidal actions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk are being utterly hounded/dismissed from jobs for making completely level-headed and reasonable statements about Israel's frankly disgusting treatment of Palestinians. How long before the UN guy is hounded into a "resignation for family reasons"? What a shame the Cancel Culture thread's away*. I'm sure the same characters who were so furious about wokeness would've been all over this. * "things nobody has ever said before" thread for this pish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rationale is that you’re saying Israel shouldn’t exist which in turn means you want all the Jews there killed/expelled. Decades of racist conditioning to view Palestinians as bloodthirsty savages could easily lead people to believe the phrase means that. Palestine is the geographic region. Whichever nation states or other political entities exist within it (including Israel), wishing for all the people within that region to have full rights and freedoms is a noble cause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theyellowbox Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Find it interesting that people in Scotland have very clear views on what is an isn't said in social media posts and politicians re the conflict, but remain firmly silent when chants and comments on other religions are completely ignored. Substitute Catholic and Protestant for Jewish and Muslim and we'd have been having very different conversations for the last 50 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
