  1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_Yassin_massacre I'm not really trying to make a big thing of this terrorism angle I'm really just responding to the point about how Britain would react. I think we'd go to war on either side of it tbh.
  2. I will add that I don't see any way for Hamas to ever get what it wants through any means - which makes this latest escalation cruel and spiteful at the cost of many lives. A people without hope, acting hopelessly.
  3. True but how would the British public have responded if we had been Palestine in the 1940s, is the other side of that. It's been a while since i read up on this but I'm fairly sure Palestine was constantly targeted by Zionist terrorists prior to the formation of Israel (and who also massacred women and children) and then effectively they were given victory by the British. Would we have accepted that in our country, especially if it was imposed on us by a colonial power? I really don't see how anyone fixes this because the whole situation is flatly impossible at the outset. Its incredibly sad.
  4. The West's inconsistency on all such matters is an embarrassment to all of us tbh. The cost of pragmatism over principle ultimately.
  5. What in the everloving fuck did you search to get that?
  6. I'm creating this thread due to the lock put on the previous thread. I'm not going to put forward any views or sentiments of my own in this opening post but just want to outline that since this is obviously a very sensitive topic which affects some people on the board quite personally, especially at the moment, we should have some care in terms of emotive wording and so on. That said, it is also important that people are allowed to freely discuss the factual realities of the situation, naturally.
  7. I agree with the above and am locking this. @PaddockLad or indeed anyone, please feel free to make a new topic. I agree that it should have it's own place outside of General Convo. EDIT - nvm I created one myself. If we determine there's a better way of approaching it than what I've done then I'm happy to adjust.
  8. I'm sorry like but the rest of my colleagues could just fuck off on this one, especially if I was allergic to the damn things It is callous of them to inflict that upon you, not the other way around.
  9. I think you'd be within your rights to raise a concern around it truth be told. I feel like at absolute minimum the dog should be housetrained if it's going to be in a working environment. If you're allergic then I would imagine they also have to prevent dogs being on the property out of a duty of care, surely...?
  10. I didn't tbh, I replied as I was reading through earlier posts. I will do. I'm also just going to leave this for now anyway, it's not the time.
  11. They used "launch" twice in quick succession...
  12. Apparently the guy was a PR agitator so it could well have been me!
  13. I don't disagree with any of that really. And the UK in particular should hang its head in shame over this complete fiasco it had a significant hand in creating.
  14. I would say the race to the bottom on hatred has now been reached in this conflict, but then the human capacity for inflicting suffering is seemingly boundless. Heads are going to roll in the Israeli intelligence setup though, seems that this caught them completely off guard. I wonder what we'd do in the shoes of either side. You'd like to think we'd somehow be 'better' and 'more compassionate', but I doubt it.
  15. Am struggling to imagine how pissed I'd be if I was some sort of talented performer and yet this was how I was known.
  16. I reckon it comes down to precision - Hollywood passes were (IMO) meant to have an clearly observed intended target who was making a run in anticipation of it. Allardyce just had his defenders skying the thing to no one in particular in the hope that the big guy up front could get himself under it and then 'hold up play'. Mind you, this is me being devil's advocate, I can see the point you're making.
  17. I really don't think we should obsess too much on this one. Our team is riven by injury, we've got many of the same players now playing a game every 4 days. We went away from home to a form team, played poorly but almost won anyway. Loads to be positive about in this. Yes it hurts to lose the 3 points but honestly the team has to make mistakes in order to learn from them. I appreciate that what I'm saying is largely the sentiment in here anyway, I'm just adding my voice to it too.
  18. Yeah you're going to fit in around here. The word to post ratio looks very promising.
  19. I'm going for that 100%. Me and 100k other people
  20. I hope your family remain safe throughout, must be awful being caught up in all his hatred.
  21. Any insight into how they're overcoming the challenges?
  22. I think I've said it before, but I would very genuinely support mass arrests of Tory politicians for crimes that IMO amount to treason over the past 5-10 years.
