I suppose there is a lot of genocide in the Christians book so that kind of makes sense.

What doesn't make sense is Trump and his cult's suppression of free speech when Vance came to Europe to lecture us about free speech.

The imperialist whinging doesn't justify the unprovoked genocidal war. Every representative of the Palestinians have been demonised by Israel and their NATO backers. It doesn't matter who won the elections in Palestine they would be painted as terrorists because they wanted equality. The same thing happened in every colonial outpost that tried to rebrand as democratic.

Israel is an expansionist entity that steals land from the surrounding states and the rump of Palestine except the states bought by the US. If they wanted to be left alone why do they have a government stuffed with terrorists who live in occupied land. A government, the latest of many, that encourages land theft. If they anted to be left alone why steal others land?

The non confrontational approach has really helped the indigenous population in the wast bank retain their land, lives and culture. There is no problem for any Palestinian getting building permission in this occupied land and luckily no one else can take their land or demolish their homes.


Clearly there is no comparison, the Germans launched an unprovoked war of annihilation, Palestinians on the other hand are resisting occupation.

A word like genocide or phrases like ethnic cleansing are accurate descriptions of the situation, it's how colonialism happens.

.@Bratwurst Boy
I have answered that question several times and it's not the silver bullet you think it is. The genocide of the Baltic Germans for example was wrong and not necessary to bring the Germans to heel.

I do think it's distasteful to draw comparisons between legal Palestinian resistance and German genocidal aggression. No one was occupying Germany having expelled the people and refusing to allow the survivors to return. In Palestine however that is exactly what is happening. So the illegal onslaught on Palestine from the genocide in Gaz@ to the ethnic cleansing in the wast bank cannot be supported while opposing Putins onslaught on Ukraine. I think that last point is obvious. Palestinians have a legal right to resist occupation. This site is full f people talking about guns and how they would deal with invaders etc. well the same people object when Palestinians do as they fantasise.

I have never supported any terrorist action that is the point of my posts. I simply oppose genocide, colonialism and all forms of anti democratic actions like regime change or old school coups. I don't have a hard on for Palestine in particular but see it as he litmus test just as opposition to Apartheid South Africa as a few decades ago. Support for Israel is incompatible with support for Ukrain's war against Russian Invasion.


Pathetic

@mafketis
NATO countries have invaded almost every country in he Middle East. There is no point listing either but it's overwhelmingly NATO countries doing the invading and Muslim countries being invaded. There are some places trying to win favour from NATO by joining the invasions...Ukraine springs to mind which is surprising as they don't seem to like being invaded


Of course, I would hate to live under any theocratic apartheid

Not really...
This has always been Christian-owned land," she said. "It's very important to protect the lands of Jesus Christ."

Thirty-year-old Kisiya and her parents are Palestinian Christians. She regards Al-Makhrour as one of the last Christian villages. "We have lots of memories there and relationships connected at the root," she said.

But with their home repeatedly demolished and their land illegally confiscated, those roots are being ripped apart.

Don't try to use legality in any discussion, that boat didn't so much as sail as was blown out of the water by the NATO countries with their invasions and regime changes. The current genocidal onslaught facilitated by the NATO countries has exposed their hypocrisy and has been noted by everyone.

Russia has been banished from the world stage yet the Apartheid state of Israel is welcomed by NATO countries. The Israeli thugs banned by the British police are welcomed by the British State that has been facilitating genocide.

Contrary to popular opinion Irish people quite like the English think they are odd and a bit slow on the uptake, that is probably their age but generally they are grand. My daughter lives in England and occasionally turns up with several looking free everything and I find it not just a duty but a pleasure complying.

It was working so well that Chavez was elected several times despite the " democratic " sponsored coups. The economic sabotage and military violence orchestrated by the US plays a large part in the problems Venezuela experiences.

What's wrong with America that the people want to self medicate? The undeclared war on Venezuela deserves the Nobel prize as does the threat to invade Greenland and annex Canada.

@Torq
Today is a day for revelations so forgive me for some obvious stuff.
Developed economies need a banking system, the interest charged is not in the usury bracket yet but the volume of debt is unsustainable. Regulating the banks so they can't collapse (or threaten to) the economy again is where I would start. The taxable profits would be reduced and the economy would take a hit. I think this would be worth it in the long run. Removing ridiculous financial instruments may cause the billionaire class some embarrassment among their peers but wouldn't stifle growth.

In short government needs to protect citizens by regulating gambling, why should you or I suffer because of a bet someone else lost.

The people backing Trump.

Trump promised to cut the deficit but instead added several trillion to it with his kickback bill. The direction of travel is a one way street to monopoly. The oligarchs are getting what they want from the man who painted himself as the champion of the small guy. Trump is stifling competition and thus innovation.

@Feniks
The discontent generated by a credit based boom which was the one trick the neoliberal revolution had can be debilitating. Convincing people to live on credit was one thing but basing economic policy on it is another. Servicing government debt removes room for manoeuvre from government and enriches the non productive. It's a vicious circle that is difficult to break.

News / Was Charlie Kirk popular in Poland? [437]


Whether that's true or not is debatable, in the US it doesn't exist as the oligarchs pay the piper. The huge monopolies that dominate almost all markets in the US and globally. This result in the situation we now have where ordinary people see someone as obviously unqualified as Trump as their best bet. The same is true in much of the so called democratic world.

Kirk's grift was to monetise discontent something snake oil salesmen have been doing for a long time. It doesn't take any great intellect to do that, evangelicals have been doing the same for ever.

None. Israeli propaganda posted videos of murders in Iraq said to be from Gaza and many fools believed the lies.

It's interesting that the same people who like that dead YouTube guy and his "family values" also like full on assless chap, bare ass rutting in the streets during pride parades when it comes to Palestine. I don't buy this pink washing for one second especially when it comes from a collective known for hypocrisy.


This is an example of a good post. Disagree all you like but understand what is said.

The person kidnapped during a pirate raid in international waters? Don't know much about her.

Israel could have stopped the violence a long time ago by compensating those ethnically cleansed from what is now Israel and allowing people to return and reclaim their property.

Israel has many more hostages than Hamas and has held them a lot longer than two years.

Not one of the tens of thousands killed were gay? Not a single child, woman or disabled person was murdered by the IDF? It's pathetic that a bunch of knee jerks are suddenly concerned about gay rights or anything other than their own egos.

No and he is still not. More people have now heard about him because of his murder. He was just another influencer who will be forgotten as soon as his death has been milked dry.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 17 [434]

It's undoubtedly true that the IDF have killed more gay people in Gaza than any other armed group. They have also killed more women, children and people with learning difficulties, they have killed more cancer patients, premature babies and physically disabled people. What these murdered people have in common is that they met their deaths at the hands of a genocidal army uninterested in anything about them other than their nationality. The IDF is not a feminist organisation it doesn't care if its victims are gay or not, the IDF only cares about its victims nationality.

That's not true,
Starmer is trying to clear up the mess left after 14 years of right wing rule which is weird as he is perhaps the most right wing PM the Labour Party has ever had (Blair doesn't count as right wing, he is in the war criminal club). The omnishambles inherited by Labour in the UK was always going to be a poisoned chalice.

What you are witnessing is the Princess Di phenomenon but to a lesser degree. The guy was unknown in Europe and apart from being horrified by yet more gun crime his sad murder will have little impact. The murder will have implications in the US because it is being weaponised.

@PolAmKrakow
No one is "minimising " this man. I am simply pointing out that he was largely unknown outside the US and possibly broader "influencer" circles until his murder.
His elevation to sainthood is a ridiculous, politically driven project. It's the equivalent of an appeal to authority.
