I read the title of the thread and thought, surely the bugger has got enough coin already...

I used to play football with a lad called Cardigan. Decent touch on the ground, but useless in the air. Not much of a jumper. 😁

It clearly has fucked you up, because you're spouting racist nonsense. You've clearly bought into the Great Replacement theory. I hate to break it to you but it's far right bollocks of the highest order... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Replacement

Is it solely Muslims destabilising the middle east? Have you heard, perhaps, about the recent planned normalisation of relations between Saudi-Arabia and Israel? Are you aware of the official religion of Saudi-Arabia? Do you remember the Iraq war, where hundreds of thousands of civilians...

Right. So we've clarified that it's not all made up. Good start. Now, is it ok to kill children indiscriminately because you've seen a picture on the internet of someone young and brown holding an AK47?

In the meantime, those hideous fuckers, Hamas. Any ideas why they have such control in Gaza? Answer: Israel supported them. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's all about Israel wanting to diminish the ability of the more moderate Palestinian Authority to negotiate for a two-state...

There are a million children in Gaza. Israel is bombing Gaza right now. All of that is beyond dispute, unless you're some kind of conspiracy theorist loony. So, does Israel have magic bombs that only kill terrorists, or do you think it's possible that some civilians, including children, are...

Are you serious. Firstly, in terms of "threats to humanity", Islamic terrorism doesn't even come close. Do you seriously believe that Muslims, all Muslims everywhere, are terrorists or support terrorism? That they want to kill you for not being Muslim? Come off it mate, that's as daft and...

I'd love that but this won't be over any time soon, imho. Whether it genuinely is or not, it suits the far right in Israel to class this as a perpetual, existential war on terror. Similarly, Hamas and their ilk will use Israel's excesses in response as their justification for further hideous...

OK then, so with apologies for nagging away, we've moved from panicked reply back to what Starmer says doesn't matter. If what he says doesn't matter, then it's a bit rich asking for credit for him saying it, which is where this started. My point remains, everything Starmer says is based on...

"A panicked reply"? That's a poor justification, if Starmer didn't know he was going to get asked about the situation he's an idiot. Is he an idiot, would you say? I'll help you. He's not. It was obvious he'd get asked about Israel, he wasn't ambushed. So. The reason he's moved to this...

Sky News did a good analysis. In essence it's like asking the population of Birmingham to all move into Dudley. They'd have to walk, obviously, through narrow streets, already congested by rubble. Direct quote from Sky: "The area also contains 11 hospitals, three United Nations's compounds and...

I hear they've got Max Power lined up to play alongside him.

Indeed, and in fairness some more of those Palestinian children will soon be dying slow, agonising deaths from secondary infections and suchlike because of the absence of power and medical supplies. It's hideous and immoral and ultimately maybe even self-destructive. It's the best ever...

You must be thinking of mathematics... Pythagoras 500BC ish. Still kind of applies. Euclid, the father of geometry, 200 years later. Physics, maybe? Archimedes; a ton of stuff including displacement, calculus (iirc), and good at screwing too. :) If you want to get to the moon and back, then...

In theory, prosecution and punishment for the people committing the crimes. From soldiers on the ground to the people giving the orders. In theory.

That's not quite true is it. Israel isn't under an existential threat from anyone these days, it's got an effective military (supported by the US) and is a nuclear power. Which Arab nation, other than Iran, has come out in support of Hamas and their aims? I haven't googled it, so this isn't a...

Interesting read here on the rules of war, and how both sides, as if we didn't know it already, breach the Geneva convention etc.. It is unremittingly bleak. I absolutely understand why Israel wants retribution against Hamas, who wouldn't, but at what point do their allies say, "no, too far"...

You don't have to be on the side of the terrorists to express reasonable concern about how Israel reacts, specifically in regard to the siege and cutting water and power. The EU have done it, representatives of the UN have done it. All quite reasonably stated, so it's quite possible to support...
