A number of countries have announced they will boycott Eurovision because Israel are being allowed to compete. Several others are considering doing the same.

( If enough bail out, maybe the UK would have a chance ).

And still it continues…

An interesting example of a failed attempt to 'weaponise and exploit antisemitism to pursue political agenda' that's worked it's way through the legal system. The judge's/legal teams comments make very interesting reading

No charge against the Bob Vylan Glastonbury chanting either (Note how the CAA pop up here again) 

The CAA should be campaigning against anti-semitism. The judge makes it fairly clear what they are actually doing.

All taking time and resource away from dealing with genuine cases

Women and children killed as IDF helicopter gunships attack Gaza.

Ceasefire, my arse.

 

Edit; just read that Israel give an "official" Palestinian death toll in Gaza of 70 thousand.

No suggestion that that the 8 Palestinians seen took any action, just that they were seen somewhere that Israel has occupied. 31 now dead as a result.

That's well over 500 killed and 1500 injured following the "ceasefire", since when there have been over 1300 ceasefire violations by the Israeli military.

Indeed, not his fault who's in charge of the country of his birth, or that they have mandatory military service.

Sadly it's not too dissimilar to the treatment that ordinary Russians/Belarussians got/what was deemed acceptable after what Putin did 4 years or so ago.

When the boot was on the other foot we let the rot set in, now it's on our foot we as a country now seem to be wondering why we have a problem with anti-semitism

Tucker Carlson interviews Mike Huckabee, US Ambassador to Israel:-

Carlson asked Huckabee about a biblical verse in which God promises Abraham that his descendants will receive land “from the wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates – the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites”.

Carlson pointed out that this area in modern geography would include “like, basically the entire Middle East”.

“The Levant … Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon – it’d also be big parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq,” Carlson said.

Huckabee said: “I’m not sure it would go that far, but it would be a big piece of land.”

He continued: “Israel is a land that God gave, through Abraham, to a people that he chose. It was a people, a place and a purpose.”

Pressed by Carlson on whether Israel has the right to that land, Huckabee responded: “It would be fine if they took it all.”

Extremism and fundamentalism in action.
