Israel and Palestine Conflict

**** me is starmers fault? Kids are dying and someone wants to have a dig at the opposition leader.

Jesus get your head out of your ****. Some work leaders are to blame, starmer is not part of the problem. As far as I am aware he has not sold a single bullet to the murderous Israeli regime.

Agree with that Laughing

It certainly isn`t Starmers fault and my posts were not meant to suggest so

Weakness in condeming Israel by world leaders is lacking, we are amongst them

That I agree with. We are probably past simple condemnation though. My point was really that people want to use the murder of children as a stick to beat starmer with. That, I am afraid, is reprehensible.

They should sue for harm to their childs education. Having freedom of opinion and freedom of speech should not be curtailed. The quote clearly isn't racist and looking at this Sacha Gottlieb it would appear she is applying her political opinions to this decision and if she can't separate the two should be removed from post and disciplined. If this was my child they would be at the school gates the next day with a legal letter, and I'd be prepared to take it to the highest court in the land.
 
It is possible to be opposed to what is happening to the Palestinians without being Anti-Semitic in the same way its possible to be against Al Qaeda without being Anti-Islam.
IMO that's important.
let's just stop using the term anti-semitic. The allusion is that term means you are racist, when in reality it can be applied to people for a whole set of reasons. We have a term for treating someone badly based on race, it's racism, we have a term that defines hatred of someone based on which sky god they believe in, religious bigotry. We don't need a muddied term that groups together racism, bigotry and genuine hatred of a political apartheid system under the same banner. Because it serves no purpose other than to protect that apartheid system.

I refuse to recognise the term anti-semite anymore. I refuse to play their game.

Are people blaming Starmer or just wondering where his voice is? He is a prominent figure in politics and should have something to say.

I don't really care one way or the other to be honest. It seems to me some folks don't see the tragedy just a stick to beat their favourite scapegoat
 
“Eight Palestinian children were reported killed north of Gaza overnight, bringing to at least 40 the number of children killed there since 10 May. The age of these children ranges between six months to 17 years. Over half of them were under 10 years old. More than 1,000 people in Gaza are reported injured, some severely, including a high number of children. In Israel, two children, including a six-year-old, were killed since the escalation began."
UNICEF, 15th May 2021.

Disgusting figures. After sharing the above on facebook, I had a Teesside fella take issue with me, saying it was just 'trendy' to share such stuff and I should concentrate on the Taliban's misdemeanours instead. Sheesh.
