Ask the people in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso.

ISIS affiliates were responsible for 4 of the 10 most deadly terrorist acts worldwide in 2022. Terrorist ideologies don't die that easily.

Rememberence Day is not commemorating a ceasefire, it is commemorating the fallen soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the British and Commonwealth forces in all conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries. The date is symbolic and was selected for poignancy.

There wouldn't be a follow-up march.

It's a new traffic calming measure - the 'sleeping Home Secretary.' Completely ineffective at anything it is intended to do.

Many Irgun members had served in the British army, and it's last commander, in charge at the time of the bombing of the King David hotel, later became Prime Minister of Israel.

Plenty of Muslim soldiers served, and died, in the British, Commonweslth, and Imperial forces in the conflicts of the last century.

Crisis at Christmas 'suggesting' a donation of £29,73 in their Christmas ad. Is it trying to make you feel inadequate if you only want to give £20 ? And did they decide that asking for £30 is being greedy ?

The level of bs aimed at Labour by the Tory press is predictable; they are shitting themselves about the next GE.

If the Jews are all dead, why bother offering them a space inside your Islamic Caliphate as followers of a brother religion ?

Fish and chips........

But not in their charter, which is what is being claimed.

Hamas' stated aim is the total liberation of Palestine and the establishment of a state therein that follows Sharia Law - "From the river to the sea" in effect. The quote about killing Jews, etc, is one selected quote from their scriptures, used to justify the removal of Jews from the area as it is historically Islamic, and remains so in perpetuity; elsewhere in their Charter they outline that Christians AND Jews are welcome to live under Islamic rule if they are willing to subject themselves to it, but their own religious practices will be tolerated as they form 'brother' religions.

Why, at this time, is Netanyahu appointing a ultra-nationalist suspected of the arson of a mosque to such a position ? I think it shows his attitude towards all Palestinians, or perhaps his arm is being twisted up his back by the zealots propping up his coalition.

There has to be a better way; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67292422 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67277205

Now this is the sort of exchange that makes coming on here worthwhile.

Newsreaders on BBC radio who are to lazy, or thick, to learn how to pronounce names correctly. Last night on R5 storm Ciaràn was called "Kye-a-ron".

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67294809 "M&S has apologised after being accused of posting an Instagram photo of Christmas party hats in the colours of the Palestinian flag on fire. "

I wonder if to Hamas that is a semantic difference.

Balance. The last couple of pages have many assertions that "plenty on the left" hold anti-Semitic views, implying it is a problem for that side of the political spectrum. The reality is that both sides have a problem with some parts holding such opinions, and villifying one without the other is taking a partisan stance.

Do any on the right ?

But what this enquiry is showing is that they weren't following the science. Boris was dithering, Hancock was clueless, and overall the Cabinet were rudderless and unable to take decisions or control.

Letting the over 65s die - an excellent strategy for a large part of your electoral support.

Dom Cummins to Lee Cain on WhatsApp, about BoJo; "Get in here, he's melting down. I've literally said the same thing 10 fucking times and he still won't absorb it. I'm exhausted just talking to him and stopping the trolley. I have had to sit here for 2 hours just to stop him saying stupid shit". Lee Cain replies "I'm exhausted with him" Then Dom posts "It's only a matter of time before his babbling exposes the fact he doesn't know what to say".
