Not in my name !

http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/israel-demands-our-support-because-it-fights-its-war-against-terrorists-in-our-name-8335857.html


 Israel claims to hold the same values as the supposedly moral West. It says that it is fighting “terrorism” in our name as well as its own.


Pillar of Defence


Pillar of Defence













Israel does not fight its war in my name. It may be a generalisation, because I am sure that there are some Israeli's who are equally appalled by their governments actions as are many of the rest of us, but judging from the Israeli media and comments in the Jerusalem Post for example, it is clear to me that Israel is a nation of hysterical Palestinian hating bigots wallowing in self pity and constantly playing the "we are the victims" and the "holocaust" cards. Israel constantly relies on its relationship with the United States, emphasised over the past few days by Obama and Clinton, to carry out its heinous aggression against Palestine, thinly disguised under the label of "acting in self defence". These atrocities have been going on, since the days of the British mandate in Palestine and have, since 1948 been supported unconditionally by the United States both publicly and at the United Nations Security Council. Israel is not fighting a war against terrorists. It is doing what it has been doing since 1948. Israel is fighting a war of expansion, annexation and displacement of the existing populations. Israel has no interest in the "peace process" or in a "two state solution" and has lost what little legitimacy or sympathy it may once have had. Successive Israeli governments, this current one and no doubt the one to be elected in January 2013,  demonstrate vividly everything that is evil and gross in a nation conceived in terror and perpetuated by lies and duplicity. There are many in the world, including it seems the British government, who accept the fantasy of insidious Israeli rhetoric, and fall in behind American backing for this nefarious nation. The Israeli war of aggression is not in my name and no matter what my government may say or do, it never will be.

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 ...
