It is because of that interference in the middle east that problems have occured.
Sixty years on we are able to reflect and learn from that history.
Maybe this could explain how our views may differ.

Your description of Palestine pre 1948 isn’t really accurate.

Simple plan. Take those pesky folks, who never belonged in Europe anyway (except the few ‘civilized’ Hyde Park sorts) and the scruffy unwanted remnants of the Holocaust and dump them into a malaria infested, poverty stricken wasteland with no natural resources. Give them no financial or material support. Make sure that there is no hope of developing an economy; no trading partners, banking, or Universities.

Train and equip their enemies. Then outlaw any self defense organization and impose a strict arms embargo. Surround them on all sides. Block any ships bringing reinforcements to provide labor and fresh fighters. Then leave, but keep some of your best officers around to advise the Arab Legion.

It is forver irritating to certain members of the British elite that this plan did not work as expected. I can understand the guilt that they feel towords the Palestinians whom they used so badly.

Spindok

Well, you obviously do. And it’s tea-sipping, not sherry-sipping.

Israel is held to a higher standard thats because they are supposed to be’ like us’-a western democracy.The good guy’s.

That doesn’t mean that you agree with terrorism.
The ruling government during aparteid in south africa was judged the same.
Even if other african leaders were brutal we expect more from a democracy

The dehumanization of Palestinians and the demonization of Islam has led to you all being able to view a whole area of the world as evil.
It is possible in everywhere but the U.S to be an allie and support israel,but not blindly and not be anti semitic.

If you weren’t nazis you wouldn’t care for people who are treated with kid gloves butr for the people who are being murdered by the thousands or the tens of thousands. You wouldn’t care for people who are well fed but for thsose who are starving, you wouldn’t care for those who use their children as expendable amunition (a Palestinian woman: I want to have lots of children an d make shahid of them. She didn’t say it but every shahid means money for the family) but for those who love their ones, you wouldn’t care for those who have thrown people on whel chairs to the sea, tried to bomb maternities, crushed choildren’s skulls in cold blood anad who instead of being spoit upon by their won mothers are hailed as heroes and get marrriage proposals. You would care about those who don’t perpetrate those atrocities. You wouldn’t care bout those who have told time after time that their goal is extermination.

You would give to the Palestinians betewne zero and one thousandth of the energy you give to the others. Instead it is the opposite. No demonatrations agaionst Soudan, no burning of Turkish flags, no calls to boycott Sri Lankan products.

The little Nazis care only for those who want to exterminate the Jews.

I think what you are saying,that in the U.K we only critise Israel because we are all closet nazi’s who want to gas all the jews,and use it as just a vehicle.

If that is what you think,then you have made my point for me.
I have been saying that Carol has been reporting from the U.K and that is how opinion is formed.

You have claimed that we only condemn and protest against Israel’s actions because of anti-semtism. Give others a free ride, your words,zero,zilch ,nada.

When the protests are against Israel i am sure it woul be reported and you would know about it

Anti-semitism is the racist belief that Jews are genetically evil and subversive and should be persecuted.
It’s misdefined for use as a political weapon to silence any critism.

There is no such thing as ‘honerable’ anti-semitism.
Like there is no ‘honerable’ racism against black people.
It’s like having genuine critism of the actions of a black person, and the reply being,’it’s because i am black’ and calling you racist.

The brutal LTTE are not muslims. They do carry out suicide bombing and kill in huge numbers.

I agree ,the Sudanese regime is geonocidical does that make us both anti-Buddhist?

You are pathetic. Tell me how much time and energy have they spent on the actions of the Srri Lanka governemnt. on the geonocidical Sudanese regime (fifty times more dead plus mass rapes), on the Turkish occupation of Cyprus. Zero, zilch, nada. However I agree that the word antisemitism doesn’t apply to them since there have been antisemites who nevertheless saved Jews during WWII. Using the word antisemites to designate pro-Palestinian activists would sully thiose “honorable antisemites” I mentioned Given that they support organizations whose goal is not the mere destruction of a state but extermination of Jews, Nazis is a far better word.

Beyond question.

Sorry you had to endure those brutes, Carol.
