richard51 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 This will not be in your usual press reading:https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-may-26-2019/Only because it was filmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 But you carefully avoid another side of the story:https://dailycaller.com/2019/05/07/alex-titus-israel-siege/The biased reporting on both sides makes it impossible to arrive at the truth - whatever the truth is.I think there has been a temporary ceasefire since the date of this report, 7th May 2019.

woolybanana Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Some people’s prejudices cloud their urge to try to get to the bottom of stories - not the truth however as it is often so clouded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard51 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 But it helps if people can see both sides.Here is another:https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/uk-corporate-tax-avoidance-havens-justice-network-dodging-a8933661.htmlAlso in the Guardian but not in the BBC or Daily Mail (not prominent anyway). This, in my humble opinion and an FCA/ATT who I know, is why monied tories want Brexit. EU are clamping down and British ones could be next. Where are campaign funds coming from one might ask.Makes filling in french tax forms look like peanuts to them. Except for the future MEP who is immigrant in SW France perhaps. Oh the irony.

Patf Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Very interesting Richard, but not surprising. But should we believe it?I'm getting more and more cynical about what's printed in the newspapers. More important than what they print is what they leave out. They must have to select from the vast amount of news coming in so we can never know the whole picture. Israeli press is also selective in what they print. And no doubt the Palestinian press, if we could read arabic.TV and radio reports are even more selective.I still can't resist reading newspapers online.

richard51 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 I think its reasonable to believe a report was issued and perhaps the report was a little difficult to stomach by the owners of the right wing press or indeed BBC decision makers yet the little remaining independent press in the UK does."Israeli press is also selective in what they print. And no doubt the Palestinian press, if we could read arabic."Good try Pat. Israel has the word "hasbara" - look it up folks. Very effective. The press most people read here is in English, but Hebrew is what Bibi talks when he want to talk to the "populace" and doesn't want the rest of the world to know before the hasbara people get into action. Oh dear, the meaning was miss-interpreted in translation!NB most Palestinian press in Palestine is controlled by the occupying forces there. They go in and trash the offices every so often. Arabic is still widely spoken there despite the nation state law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 As opposed to JC’ supporters who have threatened the people trying to investigate and get rid of antisemitism in the Labour party. Oh but that is OK because they are good old fashioned extreme left wing bullies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard51 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 You have lost me there WB - opposed to what?With respect to the recent expulsion of a person who advised voting against the labour party from the labour party, I do find it strange that a person who is continuously demanding not to vote for labour is not expelled. (Margaret Hodge)Nb it has been against labour part rules for a very long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Funny how the Left has a very ambivalent relationship with the rule book, choosing to apply or ignore it depending on what nasty piece of viciousness they are dreaming up.At present their scheme is to expel everyone who disagrees with them using whatever tricks they can.

woolybanana Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Ooops, Peter Willsman suspended for anti-Semitic comments. Yet another one of the racist clique that have infected the Labour party! Not sure if JC has commented but it wont be outright condemnation of his commy backer, that’s for sure.https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-48472977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard51 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 https://www.timesofisrael.com/palestinian-teen-said-shot-dead-in-west-bank-apparently-while-breaching-fence/West Bank this time. Another article says a Palestinian was shot dead after injuring 2 Israelis. What a state where Palestinians are automatically shot dead - could easily have been arrested. Some situation where these desperate people have no hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Dickdick,, most of us have the greatest sympathy and feelings fr the Palestinians and also a great sense of impotence at what is happening on a daily basis. But only the Israeli residents of Occupied Palestine can kick out the warmongers, perhaps in the upcoming election, though I doubt it.By the way, do you think this might be accurate?https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7087929/Pro-Palestine-group-supported-Corbyn-forces-Jewish-shops-close.htmlIf so, Mr Corbyn is swimming in very murky waters!

richard51 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Its the Daily Mail - what do you think?What does "forced" shops to lose mean - protesting outside if they are selling thing from the occupied territories as if from Israeli is not IMHO a problem - in fact it is to be lauded whoever the shop owner is.All israeli residents in illegal settlements are indeed the warmongers as you describe them. They want to kick out the Palestinians - have you not noticed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Richard, based on the principle of no smoke without fire, I would not entirely dismiss the DM report, whilst maintaining a healthy scepticism.As regards the bloody settlers, surely they cannot hold the balance of power?

richard51 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 But people who are "truly" Israels (according to the nation state law) do hold the power together with the evangelical christian nutcases in the US. Remember that all "israelis" serve time in the IDF where there is certain indoctrination against Palestinians i.e. worthless scum - shoot them when opportunity arises. OH saw a settler in Hebron pour battery acid over a Palestinian market stall holder from the settler flat above. The IDF soldier nearby said that he saw nothing and the next person who says anything will be shot. OH, was advised by those with her to keep very quiet. (she is white, UK passport etc ). The poor Palestinian lady was left in agony for some time as the IDF soldiers kept access forbidden. Its everyday occurrences like that that will never be forgotten.

I know a few jewish friends whose children have gone off to join the IDF to "do their duty" - they are equally terrorists IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
