Stating what others know but will not mention.





Liberal Democrat MP David Ward

 
The compulsion for some people and organisations, and now it seems political parties, to immediately leap into defensive mode whenever criticism is voiced of Israel or of Jews, has for many years been a disturbing feature of western society. I have frequently argued that this phenomenon is essentially, brought about by a collective guilty conscience in the west, of the persecution of Jews, (amongst others), by the Nazi's in Germany during the 1930's and 1940's. What happened in Europe during those times, is wrong and indefensible and should not be forgotten. However, the treatment of Jews in Europe 80 years ago does not excuse, justify or mitigate the treatment of Palestinians by Israeli's in the occupied land of Palestine today.

Injured In Gazaz - Palinfo


Friday January 25 2013; Palestinian medical sources in the Gaza Strip reported that seven Palestinians have been injured by Israeli military fire in the northern part of the coastal region.



David Ward said that, “.... I am saddened that the Jews, who suffered unbelievable levels of persecution during the Holocaust, could within a few years of liberation from the death camps be inflicting atrocities on Palestinians in the new State of Israel and continue to do so on a daily basis in the West Bank and Gaza." In saying that David ward is absolutely correct. Atrocities are being inflicted on Palestinians every day in Gaza and on the west Bank and yet the West chooses to say nothing and do nothing, presumably due to the “collective guilty conscience”, which I mentioned previously and probably in part, to ensure that the United States and Israel, are not offended in any way. This appeasement of Israel, (Incidentally, the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sought Palestinian recognition of Israel as a "Jewish state") is both wrong and misguided as well as being potentially dangerous. For the western world to stand by and watch as ethnic cleansing and even genocide is inflicted upon the Palestinian people, is a crime of indifference which will ultimately return to haunt people for many years. Perhaps the west will eventually have a collective guilty conscience in respect of atrocities against Palestinians too.
The decision of the Liberal Democrat party to subject their MP, David Ward, to the prospect of some form of disciplinary charge for stating what others know but will not mention, is in itself a contemptible act of hypocrisy and cowardice. Mr Ward should be applauded for speaking out against the excesses of the Israeli’s and their barbaric occupation of Palestine. I sincerely hope that David Ward is made aware that there are others who share his concerns in respect of the treatment of Palestinians, and that he tells the “Liberal Democrat disciplinary cabal” exactly what he and many other people think of their duplicity.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
