Palestine!

[wimp]

All the jews going on about how James Corbyn is anti-Semitic, I disagree! Anything to distract from Brexit!! My concern would be the persecution of the Palestine people.You don't hear much about their rights,certainly not from Donald Trump,Theresa May, or the BBC. Who stands up for the Palestine people ?? I will .They will never have peace as long as *** like Trump and May are backing Israel!!

[baza]

Who is James Corbyn , is he the brother of that friend of terrorists Jeremy ?

wimp!

[Jennykenny]

Maybe we should ask David Trump and Tracy May?

[wimp]

Palestinian people murdered every day and still people don't care as can be seen here!!

[kvalidir]

I care and I'm Jewish. There are endless groups supporting the plight of the Palestinian people including Jews out of Palestine, Jewish Voice for Peace and OccupationIsNotMyJudaism. Check them out.

Won't say I agree with either side but wimp you say about the Palestinians being murdered but nothing about the misiles they lob at Israel each day over the wall. It's only the fact that Israel has a very good anti misile system that prevents them being murdered too. I have been on both sides of the border years ago and the majority of the people seemed to get on fine. As usual it is the few that don't.

Where?

[baza]

The trouble is how do you stop the few getting the publicity.

[dannyk13]

Baza, you can't.

Perhaps if the Arabs hadn't tried to roll Israel into the sea at regular intervals (pretty much from its inception) then Israel might not have needed to develop the most powerful army in the region?

Perhaps if the Arabs had concentrated on building a first world country from their own huge area of historic Palestine (instead of trying to take by back force the proceeds of decades of work by the Israelis in their much smaller area) then Israel wouldn't have needed to deploy that army on a regular basis?

Israel has done (and continues to do) some pretty unpalatable things in the name of 'security' - but wouldn't you if your back was to the wall and your very existence was under permanent threat?

I don't much like the militaristic state of modern Israel - but I like the Iran/Saudi funded warmongering rabble of the Palestinians even less - I know which one I'd trust when push came to shove?

[sunny-dave]

and (for the avoidance of doubt) - I'm not Jewish (or any other religion for that matter).

The Palestinians have, in my opinion, been treated appallingly. However, Israel is established and it isn’t going anywhere, so just what Jeremy Corbyn, wimp, et al, think can be achieved by their on-going opposition is anyone’s guess. Frankly, I know who I would rather see in control of that scrap of land – and it isn’t the Palestinians.

[wimp]

Israel has the backing of America with military weapons and money,plus their own air force.Palestine people have the right to fight for what is their land.Nothing new in jews grabbing what isn't theirs,you see it through history!

[sunny-dave]

"Nothing new in jews grabbing what isn't theirs,you see it through history!"

And in that sentence you convince any previously wavering readers that you are a card-carrying anti-semite with a view of all Jewry as Shylocks incarnate - and so all your hand-wringing over the fate of the Palestinians is just so much wind.

You couldn't make it up.

[kvalidir]

Nice refreshing bit of anti-semitism there wimp.

[mushroom25]

brexit and anti Semitism in adjoining sentences. that's pretty good going even by AB standards.

[CrapAtCryptics]

My understanding is that the land now called Palestine was gifted to the Jews as payment for being servants to the pharoahs, therefore an approx 5000 year claim. The people now calling themselves Palestinians are from various nomadic tribes that used to roam that peninsula 1500 years ago. Conclusion why do they now want that specific area which has essentially nothing in the way of natural resources and why why would you attack a country that actually employs many of your people and even, in some places, collects their taxes for them.

The Hebrews (Jews) originally conquered the land around 3500 years ago. What do you think they've grabbed since then?
