Israel playing the "We are the victims" card.

More than 130 Israeli airstrikes against Gaza over the past 24 hours, and another Israeli politician tries to convince everyone that they are defending themselves.

Tzipi Livni has just been giving an interview on Sky News. (Friday 16th November) I am very fed up with Israeli politicians and “spokes persons” for numerous groups either in Israel or in other countries, who constantly try to convince the rest of us that Israel is always the victim of aggression.

Tzipi Livni

Additionally, she has been repeating parrot fashion, the Israeli, American and now it seems the British, hypocritical nonsense that everyone who agrees with them are the “good guys” and everyone else is a terrorist. The hysterical gibberish pouring out of Tel Aviv, Washington and London, demonstrates a determination to perpetuate a “guilty conscience” mentality within others, in respect events in Europe during the 1930's and 1940's, designed to ensure that Israel can do no wrong.

Gaza air raids

All this against a background of continuing Israeli aggression against Gaza and the Palestinian people with more than 130 air strikes against Gaza in the last 24 hours, troops, tanks and armoured personnel carriers massed near the southern border, and the killing of 19 Palestinians, including six children and a pregnant woman. Israel has been carrying out atrocities against Palestinians even before the state of Israel was declared in May 1948. The world should not forget Deir Yassin, or any of the hundreds of other villages ethnically cleansed by Irgun, Hagganah and the rest.

Israel is and always has been the aggressor and the Palestinians are the real victim

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...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria. This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
