News / The Iran war and Poland [826]

Iran has repeatedly spoken about the idea of erasing Israel

Israel is currently in the process of erasing the Palestinians from the map. That policy is the core essence of Zionism.

Iran is a supporter of the Palestinians who have the right to resist occupation. The mad mullahs would not be in charge if it were not for the US/UK Coup which installed the crazed torturer. It takes some mad dictatorial sh!t to have Communists, nationalists, the business community and clerics uniting to remove you.

I dont know about Poland but British TV and papers have been full of the Sha's son this weekend. I dont know which rock the corrupt slid out from under but this has the look of Iraq about it. False stories about WMDs, intelligence led "imminent threats" and the Iranian Chalabi personified by yer man.

This mindset borders on paranoia rather than representing a sound foreign policy.

I would say its a deliberate policy to make Iran bend the knee and all the NATO countries are involved.

I am not a fan of Putin or his invasion, I think the twin towers attack was unforgivable. The point is that there is clearly an a la cart attitude to this. Israel is allowed to do anything it wishes with impunity and I find that disturbing. Israel is a nuclear state and we all know how they became so, they then went on to helpApartheid South Africa develop wmds with no consequences. I have guesses but really don't understand why their abhorrent behaviour is tolerated by countries who pretend they are not facilitating genocide.

The usual hackneyed arguments are trotted out about Iran mainly about hair covering and skirt length as though they cared. Israel does much worse to Palestinian women.

It's all kicking off now.

Everything except legality.

Whatever happens the big takeaway is the so called free world doesn't give a fcuk about the rules they wrote. No more whinging about Ukraine and no more whinging about the twin towers in America.

Trump does what all us presidents do and their puppies trot along beside them.

Isn't he making things worse in Britain?

He seems to be trying to repair the damage.

Britain is not over run with Muslims and if it were the "blame" would lie with the previous regime.

Enjoy your two days off a week, your statutory paid holidays, your right to vote, your statutory paternity leave, your access to hospitals free at the point of use, your right to divorce, your right not to work 14 hours a day and your free compulsory schooling. All these and much more were obtained for you by socialism.

And your alternative to a right of centre labour administration is what? Your choices are a return to the Tory party that destroyed the economy flooded the place with immigrants, hobbled the NHS super charged graft and cost everyone with a mortgage hundreds every month. The second most obvious choice is Reform, a bunch of swivel eyed chancers wanting to repeat Truss's budget. The current chairman of reform recently claimed he was driving the ghost of his grandmother around in his car, he claimed the grandmother then possessed a former footballer turned medium who tried to strangle him.

they blame you for getting wet.

The Tories had 14 years in power there is no one to blame for the mess Britain is in except them. Calling Starmer a marxist just wont do it for semi sentient beings, of course Reform think he is...make of that what you will.

Egypt

When Egypt had free elections the border was opened then there was a coup. Since then Israel has full control of the Egypt/Gaza border in breach of their treaty with Egypt. Most people in Gaza are from families ethnically cleansed from what became Israel. They do not have a right to return but some Americans and Russians with no connection to the place can go there as a right. Moral purity is to uphold the rules written by the "rules based order" they dont do that. Ukraine can also be called a lost cause and Putin does what he does because he is following the script written by NATO countries. PS I dont approve of what Putin is doing.

I understand there is a thread about the Levant but these things are intertwined.

I won 140 quid yesterday on the lotto!

Most I have ever won was £40 about 15 years ago but I do have a Euromillions for tonight so looks like I'll be a man of leisure from Wednesday on.

Its not easy to find ethical investment opportunities with pension funds etc entwined in the chain. I would argue however that the bare minimum would be for countries to enforce court rulings. The ICJ found Israel responsible for the crime of apartheid meaning that there should be sanctions imposed by those countries that claim to abide by the so called rules based order. There have been 40,000 refugees created in the west bank in the past year and where do those people go? A lot will try to reach Europe and North America. Both places have differing degrees of responsibility for the creation of these refugees.

European defence industries would then be a great place to invest. I do feel uncomfortable with private institutions profiting from tax payer money so favour the nationalised model for essential industries. Have all the competition you want between toothpaste and vacuum companies but public utilities should be run for the benefit of the electorate. Privatisation has been a disaster exposing the competition argument for the nonsense it is. Ending large investors ability to unduly profit from government contracts is a must. Small, private investors wouldnt make much difference and I see no harm in allowing them to gamble after all we have bingo and the lottery.

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1442]

nobody gives a flying F about international law

The architecture or the ivory tower the so called rules based order uses depends upon it. I do agree that no one anywhere gives a fcuk about international law if it impinges upon their interests. That is the only comparison I would make with the Ukraine situation.

People have their horses and they will back them.

The situations are not similar....

Situations are never the same just like genocides are never identical. I'm talking about international law, you either support it or you dont. Its dissonant to support its application for one and not the other.

What do you think would happen to Israelis if Palestinians had anything like parity

Then they (Israel) would negotiate in good faith as equals and not dictate.

Look, you don't have a solution.

No one has a solution and one wont emerge until Israel stops breaking international law, ends the current genocide and dismantles the apartheid state they have created with the help of the so called rules based international order.

The interesting thing is that all those who get hot under the collar about Ukraine dont give a fcuk about international law when it comes to Palestine. Where is the outcry about herding Palestinians into cattle pens to give them some food because Israel has weaponised aid.

Fact is Israel originally served two purposes, it solved the so called Jewish problem and partially salved the conscience of European and US countries.

The Palestinian partition plan was contrary to the founding principals of the UN, a kind of original sin. But we are where we are. Perhaps the Israelis in general and the IDF in particular could give Hamas pointers in how to transition from an ethnocentric terrorist organisation into the most moral army in the world? I would ask the IDF for pointers but they have yet to transition.

all of it whipped up by expensive PR from politicians who represent those that make huge sums

Not just that but a bunch of grifters monetising tragedy (Yaxly lennon or whatever he is called)

I read an article about the trouble in Dublin and some incidents in the countryside where well over 50% of the comments and "calls to action" were from non Irish accounts.
The problem with the internet is it gives avery dickhead a bigger stage to dance on and amplified by large US advertising platforms. That connolly woman should have been chastised but I think her sentence is unduly harsh.

Despite you best efforts you can be insufferable in defending things that are clearly wrong or disporponate. It doesnt take much to have you scraping the bottom of the barrel.

All sentences are according to sentencing guidelines

Then perhaps you can explain why the mandatory guidelines for possession of guns was ignored by the british Judge two days ago. The fact that the person was a member of a british death squad and shared platforms with british MPs may have something to do with it.
.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0g5wg2w00o

Unbridled support for things that are clearly wrong is not a good look.

avoid the thing that is causing your current hangover.

I was watching the Mighty Spurs last night and had two pints, hardly hangover territory. You dont like any criticism of britain or the political nature of much of your policing.

The woman was a prick but was treated harshly.

Have you nothing to say about british MPs displaying terrorist symbols or is it OK when they are your terrorists? In the meanwhile the british state is facilitating genocide

So it is his choice, having given them that spelling. Why would they use another?

Thats a lie.

Anything beyond a reprimand and suspended sentence is ridiculous overreach and intimidation.

I tend to agree, I despise the woman and her views and would have "stood with" the innocent unarmed people. The reason she received such a harsh sentence was purly political.

The British state has form here, the law is selectively applied for political reasons. Yesterday they charged an Irish pop singer using a british spelling of his name (something that doesnt happen to others if they use the same alphabet) with a terrorism related offence. It should be noted that those who make the laws routinely break them with impunity. British MPs frequently display symbols of terrorist organisations at their rallies something that is supposed to be illegal.

When I say British MPs I mean MPs from Britain not just the bigots who crawl to the British parliament from Ireland. The reason they go there is to authorise the sale of weapons to a terrorist state conducting genocide and using starvation as a weapon of war. They also give political backing to their murder squads unleashed on civilian populations during their illegal invasions. The police force that recommended charges is stuffed full of rapists and racists according to their own accounts. The same police force which covered for the paedophile prince.

With that kind of administration its no surprise that the general population of Britain are easily whipped up by a few tweets.

Leftists disrespect all power structures that they don't build and immediately sympathize with anyone who 'challenges' those in any way.

Thats simply not true. What people want (left right and center) is an even handed application of the law and a review of laws they consider to be bad. If you ignore what people want you get violence or in Britains case self harm in the form of Brexit

News / France and Germany plan to flood Poland with illegal migrants. [199]

@Bratwurst Boy
Looking at Europe it wouldn't be an over generalisation to say that migration increased after the fall of the wall. The question is what caused it, I think there are two causes firstly the movement of capital and people are always intertwined so globalisation contributed. The second is the creation of refugees with the crazy middle east wars. Both these things are a result of an unfettered right leaning economic agenda.

Nationalists play on the nostalgia we all have but tend to follow economic policies which are contrary to their main selling point. Thankfully they all hate each other and are certain to fail as they cant square their internal contradictions.

Wherever you live, do not vote for the left wing, it will lead to disaster......

In Britain 14 years of eccentric right wing governments led to a huge rise in unchecked migration, a hollowing out of public services, huge public debt and empty coffers. The British army is a shadow of its former self thanks to the right wing. the crazies erected trade barriers with their nearest neighbours and failed to strike any trade deals.

The Conservatives were rightly thrown out of government replaced with a slightly right of centre party who have been handed a poisoned chalice. The fiction that any party that is not from the traditional right must be socialist is clearly a symptom of mental illness. I have seen Starmer described as a Marxist which is the most ridiculous description since the IDF being described as the most moral army in the world.

Once I read a post from Espana, and he said - "My dog is stupid. I think he is Polish."

That is quality trolling, much better than the sad but determined attempts of others.

If you are going to troll you may as well be funny, angry doesnt do it.
