The thing is, you can try to row backwards by saying that you mean something, but, your posts are clearly written and interpreted by many from the words used. Your intelligent bloke and way better than doing a Russell Martin and blaming everyone else.

Very benevolent. I think it's his opinions and attitudes that he should try to work on.

Indeed. 7/10 happened despite the scale of the Israeli budget and personnel. Not every wrong un can be spotted and/or stopped.

You must know about 50,000 people SoG.

The attacking of Jews, and Muslims, and attacking the respective holy places of each religion, are all appalling in any context. You're the only person seeking to limit your condemnation to just one aspect of that.

Not at all. What's bizarre is your limited condemnation, and apparent inability to see what others see.

Noting Hypo's confusing to my post. Why did you contextualise your condemnation? Your reaction to anyone doing the same re the Manchester synagogue attack would have been critical, and correctly so.

But ok in other contexts? Things like that are abhorrent full stop, not just in response to an atrocity.

If that post isn't a wind up, it's daft. A deal must be a mutual agreement. Not an imposed ultimatum involving just one protagonist. Peace has to be realistically achievable and sustainable. The deal must also be fair. Read it fully if you haven't. No deal will be sustainable without Palestinian right to self rule, autonomy, and security guarantees for themselves. There's a future for the people of Gaza beyond this Israeli demolition job, and Hamas. Your comments don't seem to acknowledge the need to address that. For me, the simplest solution is for a full ceasefire now, then the release of hostages held on both sides (simultaneously), then a discussion about the future without pre conditions.

Indeed, and I suspect nobody would be calling for Israel to sign a pretty poor deal negotiated behind their back.

Perhaps read the deal.

A player with a first touch like his at this stage of his career will never have a decent first touch. He also looks like couldn't care less and just ambles about.

That was a superb run and finish. I've said all season that our players look frightened. Good managers not only coach the team and players well, but they also manage the players and instil belief.

Create for who?

The stats won't show that they could have had 4 the first half hour. We were made to look crap by a crap team.

Yep. Scienza, our best player today by a distance replaced by Downs, our worst player by a country mile. Mind bogglingly inept.

Or, it means we're relying on players who weren't previously good enough, and that their replacements aren't good enough.

Yep. You can't dress up 4 of the 7 new players not making the team as meaning we've signed well.

Not sure. I'm guessing 343 with Fraser at RWB. Slightly odd line up for me. 2 full backs signed and neither play, nor Fellows, nor Azaz. Robinson binned completely and Downs on the bench is bizarre too.

Agreeing with Hypo and Duck is a first for sure. Blair, for all his faults had a direction, and some gravitas. Starmer had neither.

Trump: Israel, stop bombing, now. Hamas want peace. IDF then kill 20 in 3 air strikes, and tell people to move south as Gaza city is still in active combat zone.

In actual Israel related news, Hamas have agreed in principle to release the hostages. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxq7zp7002o

Just catching up with the thread and noting the exchanges re counter terrorism funding. Is there actually a suggestion that there's a funding gap?

Absolutely. There's an undercurrent of disaffectment and/or prejudice amongst many of those people. There's a real potential of reaction from a community or people not directly impacted by what happened yesterday.

That's nonsensical flapping and incitement. ISIS can't just get their hands on a nuke.
