Israel / Palestine

[Ian H]

But I am not talking about Jews, I am talking about Israel as there is a difference. There will be many Jews without any connection to Israel.

And there are many Israelis who are not religious.

 

[Pblakeney]

And there are many Israelis who are not religious.

Try telling Netanyahu that. Please.
Then ask them to justify the genocide.

Report from an Israeli group

Israel accused of trying to ‘eliminate’ living conditions for Palestinians in West Bank​

Report by Israeli human rights group says systematic and broad assault being waged on conditions required for Palestinians’ existence

Israel is working towards the systematic “elimination” of the conditions that sustain Palestinian collective life in the occupied West Bank, according to a major report published by the human rights group B’Tselem.

The Israeli organisation’s hard-hitting report, shared with the Guardian in advance of publication, says Israel is “dramatically intensifying its attacks on every aspect of Palestinian life in the West Bank”, including “the ability to get to work, take children to school or university, receive medical treatment or municipal services, meet family and friends, cultivate land or go on vacation … routine activities that make up human life”.

Report from an Israeli group

Don't worry, they won't be Israeli for much longer

Israeli ministers call for the directors of the NAZA and No Other Land documentaries to be stripped of their Israeli citizenship.

If such UK bodies have called out illegal atrocities I've not heard it and I do try and stay aware of current affairs.

Unfortunately, their voices are drowned out by Mirvis and co.

That's all they've got. Can't help thinking it's somewhat lacking nuance.

Wonder how Ed Sheeran feels about - Ed supports genocide.
Cos that is the conclusion, intended or not.

I don’t think he can win either way.

Depends on how you define win.
You are correct, financially.

One would assume that who and basis of a tour support artist is something the principal artist would have a massive say over and be kept informed over and have veto over.

Sheeran is a bit of an arse. He's bought loads of houses and land surrounding his main pile in Suffolk to stop neighbours complaints about noise and planning restrictions.

And that multi-coloured lion tattoo on his chest is bordering on unforgivable.

Once again though, this is a case of someone saying absolutely nothing wrong and getting told they're being anti Semitic.

And still Macklemore takes the moral high ground by reminding us who the real victims are.

He's a good egg Macklemore. He was involved in making The Encampments (executive producer I think), about the pro Palestine Columbia University protests, which is well worth a watch.
