Someone else misinterpreting what you're written. Seems to be a pattern here...

I never claimed you said she was, all I said is posts have clearly been misinterpreted because that was the impression I got. You seem very aggressive about this.

Unless we have read ALL your posts, this is clearly something that could be misunderstood. You seem to be arguing against something that I haven't said here - Egg may have said that but I didn't.

There certainly is! It's a particular type of poster though isn't it. Almost like it's wilful. Either that or certain posters like building up imagined caricatures o others and inventing things they didn't say as it makes it easier to challenge without any sort of nuance.

Behave. Everything I know or understand about posters is based entirely on what they've posted. Don't flatter yourself that I give a monkeys about who or what you are in the real world. 

If you haven't said or implied that your missus is Muslim, then I'm a Viking called Erik.

Except you can find no evidence that I have done so. I've never implied or said that my wife was a Muslim. I know what I said because I know what the truth is and in fact I've explicitly stated on here that she is not a Muslim.Even soggy agrees with me and he certainly has no reason to. You're just wrong on this one I'm afraid and you've let your dislike of me influence you too much. We can agree that there is no evidence that anyone can find that I ever said my wife is a Muslim and you've wrongly inferred she was when I mentioned that my father in law is. It's OK to make a mistake sometimes.

Whether she is or she isn't makes no odds to me, bizarre that you feel that it would. 

On topic, your attitude towards the behaviour of the Israeli regime yesterday and over the recent past, is at odds with that of decent people. If your wife or father or in law is Muslim, it feels odd to me that you have so little compassion for the wanton killing of Muslims by the Israeli regime. 

Regardless of your wife's religion, I regard you as a bit of a cunt on this issue.

Again, I never claimed it made a difference to you I just don't appreciate it when posters make up things I've said or implied when I have never done so because it's certainly not the first time it's happened. Without any evidence of what I've said I'm not going to rely on your faulty memory and would prefer to make it clear what I've actually written to reduce the chances of any misunderstandings in future.

Kindly link where I have claimed that mass indiscriminate killing of Muslims is either desirable or something to be pleased about? I never have. I know it really upsets you when someone disagrees with you on an issue like this but there's really no need for foul language.

Your posting history is up there and elsewhere mate. I'm allowed my opinion of you, and whilst I appreciate that dents your ego, but that's my opinion.

Of course you are but you've repeated multiple times vague allusions to my posting history without ever being explicit about anything I've posted. You like to smear people with impressions you get about what you think might be implied by a post rather than what is actually written. That's why you've just got into trouble regarding my phantom Muslim wife. You'd be far better off looking at taking issue with what I've actually posted and then replying to those things rather than whatever image of me you have in your head.

I really don't have to do that. Your posts just yesterday did not denounce the Israeli action in Qatar, and was very nonchalant about the deaths from it. 

Back in topic (the topic isn't you or any wife you may have):

[Sheaf Saint]

There's clearly a blurred line between coming from an Islamic family and being an actual believer/ practicing Muslim, if that is the distinction being made here. An old friend of mine was in a similar position in that she had an obviously Islamic name, but had completely turned her back on that way of life when she was quite young and was disowned by her father as a result. But I also know one or two people who don't practice, but still consider themselves to be Muslim anyway as it is more a label of their ethnicity than their religious beliefs. Just as being of Jewish ethnicity doesn't necessarily equate to being a practicing Jew. So any confusion around this is perhaps understandable.

I'd imagine that many of those killed in Gaza also sit somewhere within these blurred lines.

I have actually posted on here extensively in the past but I can repeat myself again if you like. My understanding is that civilian to combatant deaths are broadly in line with what you would expect to see in an urban warfare environment (depending on who you ask). Incidents where IDF soldiers can be proven to have acted unlawfully in killing people, they should be held accountable and punished. I don't like the rhetoric of Smotrich and Ben gvir myself. Hamas should release the hostages and give up and then I think there would be a lot more sympathy were they continue to be attacked by Israel.

I agree. My wife is not a Muslim but has an Arabic name. Her mother is English and married an Arab who is essentially non practising depending on who he is talking to and when it suits him. Many of my wife's family are practising Muslims.

The offense is posters attributing things to me that I have never said and suggesting that I use my wife's fictitious religion as a cover to hate Muslims. It's impossible to be offended by something that I know is untrue. It would be like claiming my wife has six fingers or purple hair. I'd similarly look to correct the record in those cases too.

I don't think you have a lot of time for the plight of the muslims in Gaza, or the behaviour of the Israeli regime against other Muslim states. Yes, I find that unpleasant in any human, and surprising in someone with close Muslim family members. 

I do find it odd though that you cannot see how someone could (wrongly) assume that your wife is Muslim given what you've said about her and her close family. My misunderstanding is not the gotcha you claim it as.

I'm out of words for the Israeli regime. The decent people get it, and the blinkered never will. The sycophant Starmer has made his bed on the wrong side of right, and won't shift unless and until Trump develops some morality. 

The situation in Gaza will get worse until Egypt has no choice but to take people in, and we'll see even more of that ^^^ kind of appalling behaviour in the West Bank, more illegal settlements, more outposts, more mass "arrests" and detention without charge (basically hostage taking), and the continued annexation of Palestinian land. 

What we're seeing is an utter disgrace.

“A Jew born in the holocaust”. Is that the right term for direct comparison? She was born in Oxford to British parents, wasn’t she? I don’t want to invalidate her argument, nor downplay how utterly awful the situation is now. But not sure why she’s so worthy a cause just because she shares a religion and common ancestry.

Putting aside starvation, by committing the multiple war crimes of killing medical staff, attacking ambulances, targeting consultants in their own homes and dismantling the health service, for many countries Israel has ticked enough boxes to qualify their self defence operation as genocide.

But the worst thing is that none of the above assists the release or rescue of the hostages.

Netanyahu doesn't give a shit about the hostages. He's got, in his eyes, a perfect excuse to crush the Palestinian cockroaches and fully annexe their lands. ( All in the cause of Greater Israel, but don't mention Lebensraum ).

No surprise at the ruling, which has come too late, or by the response which, as usual, claims anti-semitism. What those claiming anti-semitism seem to ignore is that the ruling used many comments made by Israeli leaders for its conclusions.

Four out of five boxes ticked in the test for a genocide ruling. Some legacy Netanyahu and his cronies is leaving for the state of Israel.
