A new low for Israel. How low can they go?

There’s some disturbing if not wholly surprising sentiments uttered there, and on camera, it’s been on my mind a bit over the past few days, along with that video of the 10 year old below.

Fucked up situation, an unpleasant reminder of what I imagine the situation was for your own people in the not so distant past

Just below Nickeragua.

ā€œFree Palestineā€ just sounds sexier than ā€œFree East Turkestanā€. Sure Turkestan sounds like a makey-uppy kind of place.

Some parallels I suppose. The violence there seems for institutional, more acceptable and blatant. The sectarianism seems to have a different edge to it, in some ways it might actually be a simpler problem to solve. The attitudes on that video aren’t going anywhere for decades if not centuries… so trying to change them wont be part of a solution.

The lads think they are still below in the Pav

We threw out the Catholic Church, now time to throw out the Jews.

There’s some awful shit going on in parts of Africa, parts so obscure I can’t even remember what they are called, but they show up from time to time in a news article online. Nobody really cares though.

There’s a strange twitter movement at the moment, seeing it here as well
It goes that because there’s bad stuff going down in other places as well then it’s hypocritical to highlight Israel, currently the biggest news story on the planet

Why is this?

don’t try and rationalise twitter pal, there is absolutely no benefit in doing so.

It’s a lovely neat way of cancelling debate/criticism isnt it?

Israel out of Ireland. NOW.

agendas.

Why is it the biggest news story? In Europe and the US maybe but I think you might be stretching it by calling it the biggest story on the planet. Your average African, Indian or China man is hardly too bothered by it.

I imagine COVID still holds that one around the world.

Globally I’d say it is, Covid is no longer a ā€˜story’

The Chinese, Africans and Indians may have their own shit going on to keep it off the front page.

But really, are we discussing this?

I am happy to take that particular claim back if it is going to deflect from the rest of what I said

The arbiter of what the forum should think has spoken.

It’s a story in the ā€œWestā€ because it is a problem created by the west. But the ā€œwestā€ is not the centre of the universe. The vast majority of the worlds population has its own shit to deal with.
