@Bratwurst Boy
Their religion is not the problem

The secular countries in the middle east have all either been invaded or otherwise destablised by "freedom loving" countries upholding what they call western values. Though not wholly responsible this interference has resulted in a huge increase in migration from these places.

taken them in

Thats the key point, why would they need taken in?

Everywhere has the right to resist occupation except Palestinians, other Arabs and Muslims in general. The despotic dictators and Who**s who plunder their own people are all propped up by the US, none are friends of the Palestinians.

Israel and other western installed dictators plus colonial powers have destabilised Lebanon for decades and blamed Palestinians. That is some result by a people who apparently dont exist.

The entire region was generally secular until the US's favourite dictators started exporting their fundamentalist crap with their blessing.

Again you are very imprecise in explaining your values, from your link I assume you are in favour of LGBTQ Palestinians being granted asylum in Germany?

I'm very clear about MY values

I dont think you are.
So called western valuse of tolerance, respect for private property, democratic accountability, respect for international treaties etc are all lacking in Israel.

Let me be clear I was talking about the religious nutters in Hamas and Hezbollah who came into existence when the PLO got nowhere in talks even after they recognised Israel

You seem to be very confused about which values you support. If Israel were an outpost supporting woke western values as you are trying to claim above, why do you want to move the goalposts now? You posted Israeli propaganda memes about the UN and other NGOs yet now want to use the same organisations to support your sweeping assumptions about a whole people.

Why do these leftists support the same people which would terrorize and kill them given only the smallest chance?

They don't, supporters of Palestine want to see a just settlement including the right of return.

Taking the worst aspects of a minority, in this case those representing an extremist ideology and applying it to the whole is something something to be avoided.

Repeating the results of demonstrably flawed logic isnt the smartest thing to do.

It is worrying however if it's true that IDF sabotages UN peacekeepers

No ifs about it, Israeli invaders are attacking the UN.

That image looks exactly like me in my back garden. These pictures remind me of the Onion story "I wish I were like my online persona"

The soviet Jeep adventure never materialised, it was just the wrong time.

My mate's daughter was going to uni in London and he wanted to get her a car. He collects vintage sports cars and wanted something that would be eyecatching so we decided to buy a Russian jeep and drive it back to Ireland. It would have been a great trip but never happened...

@Poloniusz
Its strange that the Polish government refused to support the UN secretary General given that Poland in the UN called for an end to attacks on peacekeepers. Netanyahu is now calling on the very same UNSG to remove peacekeepers which is the height of hypocrisy.

You are correct, the results they all produce are predicated on copyright theft something the USA has been very vocal about when others use intellectual property without permission.

This investigation goes back years, he believes his team have the evidence. The question is whether the ICC applies the law without favour and why the delay.

It depends on whether or not there's evidence sufficient to bring a case.

In the cases of Hamas and Israeli individuals the chief prosecutor thinks there is. His job is to uphold the law it is not to be a Muslim which is a dog whistle.

Its peculiar that it is taking so long to issue arrest warrants reinforcing the global view of bias and political interference by the "rules based order" crowd.

The Polish government declined to support the UN secretary General after Israel declared him persona non grata. I wonder if Poland has an opinion on the delay in issuing arrest warrants for Israeli war criminals. Something is rotten in the ICC proving its critics right, charge Putin and others not in the rules based order's orbit and ignore the Good war criminals.

Poland in the UN strongly condemns Israeli attacks on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon.

Its beyond belief that the rogue state which owes its existence to the UN should be attacking UN mandated peacekeepers.

they will pay dearly for their blind stubborness.

If the Iranians were not developing a nuclear weapon before they sure are now. That fool Trump pulling the US out of a deal they called for and negotiated, removed the inspectorate regime.

When Biden became the head of the US regime all he did was facilitate genocide. Its curious that the recommendation for Netanyahu and his lap dogs to be charged have not been advanced. This court is clearly not independent and all decisions are questionable and obviously political.

What right has the US to decide what happens thousands of miles from its borders?

Biden and Trump two cheeks of the same arse.

@Ironside
There is a load of bollox talked about Muslims and Palestinians in that region by people who hate everyone not dressed in leather shorts.

The percentage of Christian Palestinians is dropping because they are being forced out by Israel. Israel exploited most of the more extreme Christian population to create a civil war in Lebanon. Up to that point rich cosmopolitan Lebanon still existed then the Israelis invaded with their US paymasters and we ended up with Hezbollah.

The destruction of Lebanon has nothing to do with Muslims vs Christians, the people of the Levant were writing their history when the Teutonic hoards were still living in trees.

@Lazarus
I have made full NI contributions in the UK, I made sure I paid my stamp when working abroad. I have also been paying into a separate pension for decades.

I have savings in the usual places, own my own property etc and am totally debt free. I just need to wait a few more years before becoming a grey panther.

@jon357
Mutuals are good I use credit unions which are similar I think.
